Fridays Hockey Hottie

 A Ginger, an Yzerman jersey and "The Big Shiney".......Great way to end the week.

"So... it's just empty calories and male curiosity, eh, Georgie?"

We are still trying to get the hang of some of this new formatting stuff from Blogger. Along with that, we know our postings have not shot out of the game with our usually high standards (.....we hear you chuckling over there...knock it off). We were never much of a 1st period player, we come through as the game moves along.

So show some patience. Sheesh!

"Keith Hernandez! I despise that man! "

We don't know if you have seen these Dany Heatley videos on Youtube from OttawaGh0st4, but you should take a look.  The last one kills me.

Hockey Hotties

You demanded that we bring back "The Hockey Hottie" segment and who are we to deny you?   We will usually keep these for Friday's as a reward to you all for making it through the work week.

So here you go.  Enjoy.



" All my life, I've wanted to make a great entrance."

Well Saturday night was the first chance I got to really sit down and watch some NHL hockey.   There I was, watching the Rangers opener, drinking a Leinenkugel Octoberfest and getting a foot rub from the wife.....Life is good.  :)

Speaking of the Rangers, nice debut by Derek Stepan with him notching a hat trick in his first NHL game.   While he has been a fan favorite here while playing at the UW, we still don't see him as a big scorer in the NHL....we're thinking around the 40-45 pt mark.   We would love for Derek to prove us wrong.  Congrats Derek.

We applaud the Kings for going with the throwback uniforms but we REALLY loved Jonathan Quick for the old school goalie pads!!!!    Well played, Jonathan!!

Nice......Very Nice.

The Big Pavelski

Kudos to "Super Joe"

An Empty Netter Tavern "WTF Moment!!"

I remember watching this goal as it happened and being totally blown away by Larry Robinson.    I went to middle school the next day and tried to describe it to my baseball loving friends and they just looked at me blankly.    I felt like Charlton Heston at the end of "Soylent Green";  Instead of screaming "Soylent Green is People!" , I was yelling "Larry Robinson is a hockey God!!!".  

BTW, nice defense by Mike Milbury.   (Yeah ...right...)



I'm not sure but I think Dave Schultz is cross-checking Lemmy from Motorhead in this picture.



         



"Just remember, when you control the mail, you control... information."

Here is a retelling of the classic Canadian childhood hockey story, "The Sweater".    My favorite line?......"Even when one of the defenseman was Bertuzzi'd"...... classic!

.....And We're Back!!

Yeah, we are going to try this all again.   We were actually pretty surprised at the number of emails asking if we were going to come on back so we figured, why not???     So we will see how this all goes........ We are not making any promises.   For all we know, we may put less effort into this then Eric Daze.
