Blades of Steel flashback!
All the time we wasted in 1988-89 playing this instead of studying! This passed for a hockey videogame then too. Well, Blades of Steel by Konami was superior to Nintendo’s offering, which was cartoony. The version above had permission to use … Continue reading
Congratulations to the Lightning
Wow. The first tw0-peat in…oh, a few years, the Pens did it back in the Teens. What can I say, the Lightning had a great team that survived CV-19 mucking with another season, the salary cap and off-season trades. Two … Continue reading
The 2021 Cup will be the Habs v. Lightning
My Flyers were atrocious in this modified season but I only know this through media accounts, namely Philly-based stuff through Apple’s News app. Given the Pandemic, I just haven’t been that into my teams involving games over weekdays. I will … Continue reading
Another little nod to immortality
Last night I stumbled upon this on the way to our seats. How cool to be listed as someone who has stood by my Stars for a decade without interrupting the streak. Even better, my whole name is listed on … Continue reading
A most righteous and awesome jersey
Geeky Jerseys gave me second chance to get my customized version of this very Eighties and spectacular design thanks to the third movie debuting late last year. The design fits the former description because the colors utilized were pretty common … Continue reading
Lightning win the Stanley Cup
Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Lightning for their second Cup victory despite them not being able to play it in their home stadium. Let’s see if they get the opportunity to defend this title on home ice next season, I … Continue reading
Dallas Stars heading to the Stanley Cup
Just my luck, the year the Dallas-based Stars, parent team to my Stars (my loyalty in the NHL remains with the Flyers) defeated the Las Vegas Knights. I think this is their first Cup run since 2000. I wish I … Continue reading
AHL Teams have been busy during the Pandemic
Since the minor leagues don’t have that much money on the line, they didn’t bother to finish out their seasons. Kind of sucked! I think my Stars would’ve pulled through in the clutch to be playoff contenders for their fourth … Continue reading
Seattle’s new NHL® team has a great name!
Seattle being added to the NHL was always a smart choice. It’s south of Vancouver, north of Portland and in the last several decades it has grown to be a city which could handle a franchise. Although it’s not freezing … Continue reading
NBA & NHL plans will always have an asterisk next to 2020
The NBA owners approved their plan to have a big tournament in Orlando and I can’t remember if the NHL was going to do theirs. Let’s face it though, there’s never going to be a solution to please everybody because … Continue reading
Howe…Gordie, Howe
Sometime after the Futurama jerseys arrived, my James Bond jersey arrived within a month. The demo Geeky Jerseys showed for this had three digits on the back, 007 obviously, and it was how I could get my Bender number in hexadecimal. … Continue reading
Bite my red-hot, glowing puck!
These jerseys came in from Geeky Jerseys last Fall and I forgot to photograph them. Shame on me given how much I love Futurama! The people behind the site were awesome to me on a special request you’ll see below. Firstly, … Continue reading
EA NHL 20 – Entry 1, helping out my Stars
The Pandemic has had one mixed result for me passing the time, I got re-acquainted with the PS4 I earned via points at Pinballz two years ago. Somara found out how to hook it up then I think I played … Continue reading

If you say this team’s name three times…
…they don’t really do anything other than whip your butt via slapshots! Given their core appearance resembling the officials’ jerseys, I have a feeling they’d have to change or the officials would wear something completely different like they do in … Continue reading
Zamboni driver gets to live his dream!
This is another reason why hockey is cooler than other sports! David Ayres is the Zamboni guy and practice goalie for the Marlies (my team plays them!). When he attended the Leafs v. Hurricane game last night, he got the … Continue reading
