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 experienced as [...]

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 the 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.

OLD TIME HOCKEY!

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 [...]

Free agent season in the NHL started this weekend and the Islanders were like a kid losing at Monopoly, just tossing all their properties out on the table and watching them disappear.
Jason Blake. Tom Poti. Ryan Smyth.
I knew they were going to lose Smyth going in, but geez. This is a team that is falling [...]

Wearing of the Ducks

I’m a New York Islander fan (sad as that may be these days). Todd, being from California and all, is a big Ducks fan.
Unfortunately, he has to work late tonight and won’t be home until the third period. Which leaves me to wear his lucky jersey.
I did the same Monday night and as [...]
