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’m sure you’re wondering why I took so long to write something about the newly-crowned Stanley Cup champions, the Los Angeles Kings. After all, I had them favored to win the series over the New Jersey Devils going into the final series. What a great opportunity to do some gloating! There are a couple of […]

What a difference a couple of days make. After game three, with the Kings leading the series 3-0, everyone began throwing dirt on the New Jersey grave. I stand guilty of doing the same (see “KINGS UP 3-0 – I TOLD YOU SO!”, dated 6/4/12). The engraver stood by, ready to begin engraving the names […]

KINGS UP 3-0? – I TOLD YOU SO!!
I really caught a lot of grief when I had the audacity to predict the Kings were about to take out the Devils in five games to bring home the Stanley Cup (see NHL FINALS – KINGS VS. DEVILS?? – JUST AS I PREDICTED, dated 5/26/12). All of it came from the fans of the […]

Well here we are, down to the final two teams. The Los Angeles Kings versus the New Jersey Devils. Exactly the two teams that we all expected to be here, right? RIIIIIIIGHT!!! (A little Dr. Evil humor there!) Okay, so maybe not EVERY expert had these two teams picked. But I’m sure that most of […]

By now you all know that I am a fan of my hometown hockey team, the Phoenix Coyotes. Why wouldn’t I be? They’ve served up exciting, action packed entertainment all season. For those of us that have been in the valley of the sun for any significant period of time, we’ve been able to follow […]

Although I don’t read the paper nearly as much as I used to, an article in yesterday’s Arizona Republic caught my eye. It was a sport’s article that was on the front page of the newspaper, something that doesn’t happen very often. At first it appeared to be an article about hockey gaining popularity in the […]

Now that the New York Rangers have finally disposed of the Washington Capitals, we can begin the third round of the playoffs. The other three teams should be well rested, having enjoyed a mini vacation after closing out their respective series in short order. Hockey fans across the northern continent have been itching to get […]
