Okay, so I know I’ve got a real busy schedule coming up. One that won’t allow me to sit down and write for about a week or so. I think to myself, “Self – Don’t worry about it. The conference semis just finished. There are four very good teams remaining. A week from now, both […]

The first round is over, and everything went according to plan. Well, if the plan was to have multiple upsets, then it went as predicted. All things considered, it actually did go as I had predicted several weeks ago, give or take a series or two. I told you at that time that the NHL […]

I know, I know. Nothing beats the NFL playoffs. But as a hockey fan of more than four decades, for me, the NHL playoffs come in as a close second! Who can forget last year’s event, when it was dangerous to be a higher seed. Round one saw the President’s Cup winner and #1 seed […]

I know what you’re thinking. “This is a sports blog, not a political editorial blog. What is he doing writing about the bombing in Boston?” Normally I would agree with you one hundred percent. I have made it a rule to keep politics out of this web site. This is, after all, all about sports. […]

I almost ran out of time this week, but I couldn’t bear the thought of not sharing my life lessons this week. So here they are. 1) Okay, I was wrong about the whole ‘Genius’ thing! Three weeks ago, I declared Rex Ryan to be a genius, since he obviously had the world fooled (see […]

Now you know why I decided not to prognosticate beyond the first round of the NHL playoffs. This is the one sport that you can count on upsets throughout the brackets. It’s also the only sport that allows the top seeds to face the bottom seeds in every round, so you really don’t know who […]

You work hard all season long just so you can gain the home team advantage in the playoffs. It’s huge in football, with the home team winning more times than not. In basketball, it’s rare that a seventh or eighth seed ends up with more than one or two victories before being knocked out of […]

The chill of the winter has been replaced by the blooms of spring. The birds are singing. The sun is shining. This can only mean one thing. You need to get to the arena – the playoffs are starting! That’s right. After 82 high-paced, rock’ em, sock’ em hockey games, the real season is about […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK — 3-29-12
I must warn you, this is not a pretty sight to see. Boston Bruin Zdeno Chara hits Montreal Canadien Max Pacioretty on March 9, 2011. This is a classic example of a bruiser (Chara) breaking the rules (not releasing when the puck is no longer in the opposing player’s possession) and the other player (Pacioretty) […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK – 2-27-12
This is why you have to keep your head up when you’ve got the puck. Ottawa’s Chris Neil lays Boston’s Johnny Boychuk out. The thing is, Neil was visible to everyone in the building for about three full seconds to be heading toward Boychuk, who apparently was the only one in the building who didn’t […]
