hockey and hope

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 [...]

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.

the 2007/08 NHL season: nowhere to look but up

In other news, the predictions for the 2007-08 NHL season came out and all I can say is, it’s going to be a long, long year in this house. Maybe I could handle the fact that my team is predicted to finish last in their division, if it weren’t for the two people in my [...]
