Beating the Special Elephant Issue

Beating the Special Elephant Issue

Do you remember Zoobooks?
If you’re my age, you do. The colorful magazine for children was a fixture during commercial breaks of the shows I watched growing up. I’m living proof that advertising works, because in my basement somewhere is a year’s supply of ZooBooks, special Elephant Issue and all.
Since the magazine was such an important part [...]

Somewhere, Punch Imlach Is Smiling

By Chris on December 1, 2009

By Chris

Ryan Miller was solid again tonight with 38 saves. With his third shutout of the season, he’s been the league’s best goaltender this year, hands down.
It’s still a bit of a mystery as to why he started tonight against a team as pathetic as the Maple Leafs, but he made a statement on the national stage.
This is [...]

Atlas in Hades

By Ryan on December 15, 2008

by Ryan
This game was my first “Cone of Silence” game of the year, which is kind of amazing considering it’s December already. In any event, I turned this game on at about 5AM Sunday morning and considered “live blogging” it, but I didn’t know what to expect and the only text message I got about it [...]

The Sky is Falling

By Ryan on December 8, 2008

Sometimes I debate with myself to remove anonymous commenting. We really want everyone to have the opportunity to talk to us, but the occasional spam or “You a fag” makes me think we would be better off requiring at least some sense of accountability in what you say. And then every so often you get [...]

The Most Depressing Thing You’ll See All Day

By Ryan on April 9, 2008

Wow. What a picture. It’s like David Duprey just peered into the depths of my soul.
Hecht looks like he’s in between a heavy sigh and a depressed shake of the head. I can’t say I have any better way to handle it.
That stick room must be a sad place when it’s empty.

Flavor of the Month: February

By Ryan on February 4, 2008

Baskin-Robbins recommends Jamochen Hecht for the month of October February.
I guess Lindy ran out of options? It’s nice to see Adam Mair get the “A”, though. He’s been a consistent force for them and deserves the recognition.

About Last Night

By Chris on December 23, 2007

By Chris
I’m still trying to gather all of my thoughts on last night’s hockey thriller. We started this blog in May of this year, right when all seemed lost against the Senators in the playoffs. None of us here in the Roost ever really got a shot at going through the motions and thrills of last season. [...]

YoYo’s Not Left Hanging

By Ryan on October 16, 2007

by Ryan
What a difference a year makes.
Last year the Sabres refused to negotiate in season with players. Regardless of the truth value of Bucky’s story on past negotiations, you all know what resulted of staying mum in season.
Exit Briere and Drury, and suddenly Darcy and the Boys get gabby.
Overall, you can’t blame them for the shift [...]

Maybe "C" is for cookie after all

By Chris on October 4, 2007

By Chris
I used to laugh at how the New York Islanders chose their newest captain.
Owner Artie Wang and general manager Garth Snow didn’t have a captain to begin with, judging from Alexei Yashin’s last postseason performance. He clashed with coach Ted Nolan and management decided to pay him over $17 million to play anywhere BUT Long Island. [...]

Flavor of the Month

By Ryan on October 2, 2007

Baskin-Robbins recommends Jamochen Hecht for the month of October.
I guess that means Lindy doesn’t frequent The Roost…
