The Penguins celebrate Halloween a little early

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

It looks like the Pittsburgh Penguins are not that stressed about having a 1 point lead atop the Atlantic Division as they decided to wear masks during practice on Monday. Marc-Andre Fleury did his best Kermit the Frog while Eric Godard took to my personal favorite Care Bear. I would have ...

What is up with Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Someone I know is not going to be happy about this! Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner (who knew Lautner was only 17) were spotted on a date at a Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings game this weekend.

We Know Who Wears The Skates in This Family

Monday, October 5th, 2009

The New York Rangers need a veteran defenseman. Alexei Semanov needed a job. It seemed to be a match made in, well not exactly heaven, but its a match that certainly made some sense. Unfortunately,  there was a third party who had veto power :

Donald Brashear is trying hard to get on the fans good side

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Some, if not most New York Rangers fans were upset with their team signing Donald Brashear in the offseason. Especially after the cheap shot he laid on Blair Betts in last years playoffs. But as we have learned with the Philadelphia Eagles and Michael Vick; fans tend have a short ...

As Albany Burns, The Governor Welcomes Donuts

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Many years ago, former Maple leaf and Ranger Tim Horton opened some donut shops in Canada. Then he died. Many years later, the chain, by this time the largest in Canada,  decided to expand into New York. That's cool. We like donuts here. What we may not like, though, is the fact that ...

Jeremy Roenick is still funnier than Dane Cook

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Nice attempt at comedy Jeremy. It would have been funnier if you didn't say anything. Stick to pucks, not prompters. -H/T TPS

Wonder if the Stanley Cup canonballed into the pool

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Mario Lemieux welcomed the Pittsburgh Penguins to his house for a celebratory party. And somehow the Stanley Cup ended up in the pool. At least it wasn't mistaken for an ashtray like it was last year. I know what I would do if I had the Stanley Cup for a day. Definitely ...

Pittsburgh Penguins fan has a funny playoff beard

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

I have to admit that my love of hockey went away once the Hartford Whalers moved to Carolina. But it still doesn't stop me from watching the occasional game (when I bet on it). One such game will be Game 7 between the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins. Who do ...

The Crackle Wonders: Eric Bolling

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Number 99 has declared chapter 11. Wayne Gretzky's Phoenix Coyotes are bankrupt and could be moving back to their ancestral home in Canada. (Full Disclosure: I have a Teemu Selanne Winnipeg Jets jersey that I would happily bring out of retirement if the opportunity presented itself.) It's obviously not an everyday ...

This Place Probably Won’t Need Bouncers

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Sean Avery has been back in New York for about a month, but he's already in the thick of the nightlife scene. And after spending so many nights at clubs and bars, the Rangers winger/fashionista has decided he wants in. The New York Observer says Avery's opening a sports bar/country club. Ranger ...
