Cherry Pickin’: NHL Playoffs Round 2

By Chris on April 30, 2009

As you saw from our first round scores these may not be the most insightful of picks, but here they are:
Ryan
1. Bruins over 6. Carolina in 6. – If not for two minutes of terrible hockey, New Jersey would have won that series. Boston destroyed Montreal, and I think they will take care of the Canes, too. [...]

Streen Signs and Polar Bears

Streen Signs and Polar Bears

One year ago yesterday, Buzz Bissinger verbally assaulted a boy from Matoon on pay cable. In the aftermath a lot of people have said a lot of things, and 365 days seems like a convenient checkpoint to look back on what has happened since.

To be completely honest, this anniversary sort of snuck up [...]

But for now, enjoy the work of J.E. Skeets to lighten the mood. We’ll be back shortly.

Stanley’s Overshare

By Ryan on April 29, 2009

I can’t speak for everyone on this, but then again I’m a fairly awkward individual. Maybe this is just something I don’t understand, and so that’s why I’m asking. Here’s my story:
I was at the Hockey Hall of Fame on Saturday. If you’ve ever been before you know what the big deal is [...]

One Sentence

One Sentence

By Ryan on April 29, 2009

[From NHL.com]

Towel-waving fans that threatened to raise the roof off the building as Brodeur turned aside chance after chance in the third period’s second half were suddenly rendered by the Meltdown on Mulberry Street, a loss that ranks right up there, uh, down there, with the “Matteau, Matteau” lose(sic) to the Rangers in the 1994 Eastern [...]

This is Ourselves…

By Ryan on April 28, 2009

Tonight is what post season hockey is all about. Sixty minutes. One game. One handshake.
We’ve seen a lot of good playoff hockey this year, but the truly memorable series always have a truly memorable Game Seven. Tonight we have the chance to get two memorable Game Sevens, but there’s a catch: [...]

Salvation has arrived.
The 2-15 Buffalo Bisons have activated OF Wily Mo Pena.

I can’t even tell you how excited this makes me. As someone who will be spending many summer nights in the Bisons press box, the thrill of even a potential home run is downright exhilarating. I mean, this is a team that [...]

Little Big Win

By Ryan on April 28, 2009

In honor if the Chicago Blackhawks taking care of Calgary last night, here’s Patrick Kane’s bedroom:

Some things of note in this video:
- The stick rack suspended over his bed.
- Mini Calder isn’t so heavy. Full size? Heavy.
- Nice hats.
Was it rewarding? Maybe not, but at least you know he lives in a shoebox during the summer.

This wasn’t supposed to happen.
It has nothing to do with the President’s Trophy or the number one seed, but what the heck just happened to the Sharks this year? All season they looked fantastic, and even though they stumbled a bit down the stretch like Ottawa last year and the Sabres the year [...]

Thanks to Sabres Edge for the tip:

What We Don’t Know

What We Don’t Know

By Ryan on April 27, 2009

As you know I wasn’t home to watch the Rangers/Capitals game live, but it was on MSG late last night. Since I made a few predictions on Saturday and I’m an insomniac anyway, I watched the whole game even though I knew what happened. Want to know what I think?
I think that was the [...]
