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 […]

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 […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK — 4-18-12

For those of you on the east side of our great country, you may not have heard of Mike Smith, goalie for the Phoenix Coyotes. Okay, maybe you heard of him when he was a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning for parts of four seasons (2007-2008 to 2010-2011). Odds are, what you heard didn’t […]

I know, I know, officially the playoffs don’t begin until all teams have finished their 82 game season on April 7th. But anyone who has been paying attention knows that several teams have been playing for their playoff lives for several weeks now. Now I must admit, being from the west side of this great […]
