Why The Toronto Maple Laffs Will Not Make The Playoffs

Okay, I just saw this because I was browsing the most viewed clips on YouTube.  And I went to look up the score to find that TO did end up winning the game.  But still, this is hilarious.  Best part?  It's a shorthanded goal to boot!

Flames 9, Lightning 6

Flames 9, Lightning 6 – Game NotesI didn't see the game tonight (getting Santa pictures at the mall in Weyburn is apparently more important ) but I saw the highlights and wow.  A see-saw battle in the first meeting between these two teams in Tampa since the Lightning beat Calgary in Game Seven of the […]

This Is Not Photoshopped (aka I Am A Hockey God)

An Analysis of My Picks in the Facebook Hockey Pool App

When I was in Calgary, I went in a hockey pool with my cousin and his buddies every year.  The rules we used were fairly standard in that the team you picked at the draft was the team you were stuck with for the year (in retrospect, dropping your lowest scoring player – ie. the […]

Go Flames Go!

The Calgary Flames start their season tonight.  Pace is wearing an orange off-red outfit in this picture but I'm sure his loyalties are clear.  My predictions for the final this year are Flames over Tampa Bay in a re-match of 2004 with the right team winning this time. Pace is picking the Ducks repeating as […]

Dear Hockey Gods – By Flashpoint

I don't hate the shootout as much as some people do.  I  actually have a much bigger problem with a scoring system that allows for some games to be worth 3 points and others 2  (if I was in charge, a win is 2 points, a loss is 0 points no matter when it happens, […]

RoryGate – Did the NHL "Fix" The All-Star Game?

The NHL All-Star Game is coming up in a couple days.  This year is the first All-Star game since 2004 (2005 was missed due to the lockout, 2006 was skipped due to the Winter Olympics) and many saw it as an opportunity for the league to continue their rebound from the bad feelings caused by […]

A Big Puck Up!

This is both the worst and one of the best plays you'll ever see in the NHL.  Former first overall draft pick, Patrik Stefan of the NHL's Dallas Stars, gets an open shot at an empty net with fourteen seconds left in the game…and misses. The Edmonton Oilers regain control of the puck, make a […]
