ESPN.com: Page 2 : Idiots Guide to the NHL Lockout I’m starting a new category with the return of the NHL. Over the next few weeks, I hope to offer my opinions on the health of the league, the lockout, and what happens next. Considering the readership, this category will probably generate more comments than [...]

Lockout over salary cap shuts down NHL As much as I love the NHL, and more importantly the game itself, I’m not troubled by the announcement today. It’s more of a psychological issue than anything else. We should have all been ready to lose the season even as the Cup was skated last year, so [...]

NHL.com – The National Hockey League Web Site Lockout! So it look like there is a pretty good chance of no season next year, with the players and owners still far apart on the salary cap issue. Despite any personal angst at not having hockey to watch, I think the lockout will be the first [...]

A brief hockey update since no one seems to be too interested in the routine political content here. We had our playoff game last night, and I went in with low expectations. Of the eight games this season, we have won precisely one game, and that was by only 1 goal. We have a lot [...]

I have some personal posts to go through, so for you hard-core political types, you may want to skip along. I’ve been away long enough that I thought I should register some thoughts here. For starters, my hockey season is now over. My first season at SoccerZone, and I managed to reach the semi-finals. We [...]

Calgary 3 Tampa Bay 2 You non-hockey people are about to get a break, because at most there are only two games left in the NHL season. I’m thinking it’s going to be over on Saturday in Calgary. After all, how long can the Lightning play .500 hockey? They’ve been getting away with that for [...]

Tampa Bay 1 Calgary 0 I have mixed feelings about Game 4 of the finals, just concluded. Either team winning it all would be fine by me, since they are both good stories. But there were some problems tonight. First off, Niemenen should be put away in a dark room for what he has done [...]

NHL We didn’t really talk much about Game 1 yesterday. Calgary is impressive, no doubt about that, but the Lightning seemed out of joint as they played. Is that a result of them being flat, or Calgary being that good? I didn’t follow too much of the regular season, so how did Calgary end up [...]

Hockey update. I’m starting to feel odd about posting these, since it is more of a vanity post than anything. But then again, the whole Blog is essentially for vanity. The game was at 9 pm last night, playing the team that we beat in the first game of the season (12-10 I think…something like [...]

I’m sitting here after Tampa scored an empty net goal to make it 4-2. Uh, Eric nailed it! I bow down in awe.

Pet Peeves of a Goalie. As a referee, please do me the courtesy of checking to be sure I am ready before dropping the puck to start the game, or after a goal is scored. It only takes a second to look at each end of the rink and get a nod. Hitting the post [...]

Hockey update – Played in the women’s league last night as a fill in for a new team that had no goalie assigned. They were all quite nice. We won 3-1, so it was a relatively light workload for me. I have to say though, they were a lot more aggressive than I had expected [...]

Brief hockey update. I had my first game with my new skates last night, and it was such a relief to be able to play without pain. I hadn’t realized exactly how painful the old skates were until this game ended and I could still skate without looking like a 90 year old. We won, [...]

In all seriousness, do the Leafs have a chance tonight? I’ve only seen the two games they’ve won, and they impressed me to no end in those victories. I didn’t see the blow out on Sunday, so I can’t really form a good opinion. If I was an unreasoning partisan, I would claim that no [...]

Yesterday was the big hockey test for me. After a miserable game last week, I needed to demonstrate to myself it was just a fluke. So I showed up early and took a long time stretching and getting mentally prepared for a 1 PM start. We lost 14-11. I don’t think I played that poorly. [...]
