No more pussy-footing around. No more lip service. No more bullshit about “journalistic integrity”. Not after this tabloid trash headline: Bullshit. Attempting to connect the taunting that has followed Alex Burrows’ bite to Aaron Rome’s late hit on Nathan Horton is a blatant attempt to lead the casual fan’s opinion away from hockey. Meanwhile, on [...]

I’ll say it if nobody else will: Matt Cooke has become a liability for the Pittsburgh Penguins, even when he’s not doing things Jeremy Roenick calls “chickenshit.” Before charging/boarding Fedor Tyutin last night, before he “clipped skates” with Alexander Ovechkin on Sunday afternoon, even before the Marc Savard Incident, Cooke had a reputation.

Oh, wait! I guess you can! We should be lucky the Canucks weren’t represented by a picture of Ron Francis in a Hartford Whalers jersey. They’re both green and blue, right?

How head coach Dan Bylsma views the power play: I think early on, when Gonchar was gone, we looked initially for one play and a shot. We haven’t gotten in position. We haven’t gotten puck support.

Sarah’s kind name-drop in her most recent Friday Football Foodie reminded me of how little I’ve written lately, in this space or others. I’ve been up to my hairline with real life. It’s just as well that I haven’t penned much. Between the Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup, I would have become That Guy [...]
