I’m sick and I’ve got nothing today, so I thought I’d use this space for good instead of evil for now. I love hockey, and I love people doing good for others, and I always like to spread the word about worthy causes, especially this time of year, when people are more inclined to give. [...]

a hockey story

I got a bunch of new hockey fan followers on twitter yesterday (hi, hockey fans!), so I thought I’d try to entertain them with a story. Back in the early 80′s, I took two kinds of road trips. One was the random, spur of the moment kind that ended up with me being 200 miles [...]

That Wayne Gretzky was traded to the LA Kings. Twenty years. Man, I feel old. This was a trade that shook sports fans to the core. It mean that everyone was expendable, everyone was for sale, nobody was untouchable. The Great Gretzky was traded. That has to be THE most jaw dropping moment I’ve ever [...]

Day 97 of 365: a year in songs and photosSong: Hanson Brothers, The Hockey Song No, not those Hansons. This band – an alternate persona to the amazing NoMeansNo – is a fun punk band that sings songs about hockey. They’re Canadian, eh. Tonight, my New York Islanders play Todd’s Anaheim Ducks. We’re going to [...]
i love this game

25 degrees and snowing in Buffalo and 73,000 people show up for an outdoor NHL game. Watching this is pretty awesome. I wish they played more games like this. They did a little Slap Shot special in between periods, which would have been better if I didn’t have to listen to Bob Costas. OLD TIME [...]
hockey pics

So out of 714 photos I took last night, I put 50 up on flickr, just because I ran out of patience. I was ultimately happy with about 600 of those photos. But who wants to see 600 pictures of one game? The set is here, if you are interested in seeing them in full [...]

Al Arbour will be coaching the Islanders for tonight’s game against the Penguins. It’s a publicity stunt aimed at getting Arbour his 1500th game coached. Publicity stunt or not, of course I will be watching. I’d go to the game, but I don’t want to have to sell a kidney to be able to afford [...]

Me, I’m seeing nothing but the couch today. Bizarre Records: Just like the title says. I know the guy who runs this from Fark. It’s a cool site, he’s a cool guy and sometimes I’ll get weird blogging ideas from the album covers I see there. The Barker’s Blog: Part of a project from Kevin [...]
