HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK — 4-18-12
My apologies for taking a week off from this feature, but I’m sure you’ll agree that I have made up for it with this week’s hit. Most people have seen this hit by now, but only those that actually watched the game saw it at real time speed, rather than slow motion, which depicts it […]

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 […]

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 […]

It’s not often that you get to witness something incredible. Many times you don’t even realize that you are watching something of such great magnitude until it’s too late. So when it does happen, and you do notice it, you should make note of it and share it with your friends. That’s why I am […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK — 4-2-12
Here’s a hit that results in a massive fight. The Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins were going at it, in what many believe to be a precursor to the opening round of the playoffs. As soon as the hit takes place, several players drop the gloves. Keep an eye on the benches, as the […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK – 3-6-12
This week, I’ve selected a hit that was a little bit different. This one led to a fight, even though it was a clean hit. The different part about it is that the guy who absorbed the hit, Alex Pietrangelo of the St. Louis Blues, got up and went back to work. The next shift change […]

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 […]
