So I got half my predictions in the second round right, but if you consider my list of fears (Turco & Umberger especially) then technically I was 100%. So with four teams left, you’re probably like me in that you hate the majority of them, so let’s have some fun…
Pittsburgh V Philadelphia
What will happen: These [...]

While it’s a stretch, we can still suggest that the gift that keeps on giving (our beloved Vancouver Canucks franchise) just keeps on giving. Not content with an embarrassing season, a retiring icon, a fired GM and a team teetering on disarray, how about a failed first rounder running nude through the streets of suburban [...]

Ugh, I will address Mike Gillis in due time, but for now let’s watch with limited passion and checked “huzzah’s” the second round of your Stanley Cup playoffs shall we? I was a solid 50% accurate with the first round with the Devils, Wild and Senators deciding to go home leaving me clinging to a [...]

Four straight losses, officially out of the playoffs, a much harder final game schedule then the now-eighth place Predators and a team that lacks the character to score or play sound defensive hockey, the real question to ask yourself now is:
Who are you going to watch in the post season?

Good to see Matt Cooke’s doing OK over at his new home.
Bloody hell.

Pardon my absence…losing a hard drive tends to disrupt life a little bit. And don’t get me started on the aptitudes of your average technical support employee.
Rather, I’ll save my venom for the 20 some odd guys wearing the Canucks uniform these days. I missed the memo where this team told the rest of us [...]

Thanks to Kukla, I caught this little jem from the great mind of the ever fashionable Barry Melrose. Long story short, B-Mel (now relegated to the backest of back pages known as ESPN’s NHL videocasts) had this choice statement about the Prudential Center, the new home for the Devils:
“Don’t go outside if you have a [...]

So I come home after a long day (and yet another long night yesterday of my team failing to play like a team) just wanting to have a second of normalcy. So I sift through my mail to find a magazine I got a free subscription to last year and its their Nov/Dec edition who [...]

The good people at thecrazycanucks.com were kind enough to not edit my comments out from last Friday’s completely tragic home opener.
And you know the wacky part? If you flip out my comments about San Jose kicking our ass with Philadelphia and if you maintain that I was drinking when I was on their podcast and [...]
