You wanna know a big problem with the NHL that nobody talks about? 2 intermissions.  Sports fans can really only tolerate 1 major stoppage during a 3 hour event before they lose interest.  The easy solution is to just split every game into two 30 minute halves, but a hockey rink doesn’t work that way.  By minute 22 or 23 […]

“The D will set you free!”  Hey thanks Vic the Brick!  Do you have anything else to add or is that pretty much the range of your analytic abilities?  “You must play like your hair is on fire!”  Yeah that might be a problem on the ice.  “You are like the bamboo, you bend but…”  […]

Tuuka Rask (who looks like the love child of Cindy Lou Who and the Grinch) was all the rage going into last year’s draft.  He took over for an injured Tim Thomas the previous season and went donkey-kong crazy with a 1.97GAA, .931SV%, 5 Shutouts and a 22-12 record (He won 20 games!  He should’ve won the Cy […]

Alright, all 12 of you have been eagerly awaiting my Top 10 (okay okay, all 5 of you).  I hate being so corny with the “Top 10”, but cut me some slack my degree is in finance.  I originally had a whole diatribe about draft strategy, but I was distracted by the SpikeTV show “Repo Games” (strategery will come later).  […]

So the NHL Network is replaying every game from last year’s playoffs.  Why you ask?  They’re lazy. It’s lazy programming.  It’s the equivalent of a sports talk show host doing nothing but 4 hours of listener call ins.   Is anyone outside of Boston interested in watching their team fail miserably in the playoffs?  I didn’t think so…  […]
