Hockey Night in Canada Theme Challenge - Have You Voted?

Have you guys been keeping up with the search for Hockey Night in Canada’s new theme song?  The season opens in just over a month and I’m really anxious (and nervous) to see what happens.
In the meantime, here’s a tune I heard that was submitted by Montreal’s David Makin.  What do you think of […]

10 Great NHL Goals From Over the Years

Some of these goals really are smoking hot.  Of course, there’s some Ovechkin and Lecavalier but there’s also some Turcotte and Ranheim.  I don’t know if it’s the top 10 goals ever but these are pretty awesome.

TSN’s Top 5 Hockey Goalie Fights - Video

It’s not funny but there is something about a good goalie fight that not only excites me but also just makes me laugh.  Maybe it’s all the pads but it’s so much fun to watch (not that I’m advocating fighting, blah blah blah…).  Of course, there couldn’t be a collection of these without at least […]

Phoenix Coyotes Checking Line Commercial

Uhhhhh…. I happened to come across this on YouTube while I was getting stuff ready (like this) to publish while I’m away.  This is a commercial for the Phoenix Coyotes where coach, Wayne Gretzky, talking about the checking line with… puppets.  Yeah…  Do you guys have hockey commercials in your hometown?  I don’t think we […]

Manswers: Best of Season One Review

I know this isn’t directly related to hockey but between periods and certainly at other times, I like to watch the shows on the Spike channel.  One of those shows is MANswers.  Ever seen it?
I was given a copy of MANswers: BEST OF SEASON ONE and it was hilarious!  The point of the show is […]

MVP on SOAPnet - Recaps and Schedule!

Back when MVP first aired on CBC, I was pretty horrified.  Some of you agreed with me while others attacked my commentary.  I had just decided to give the show another chance when was cancelled.  Lucky for me, I can catch up.  If you are looking for recaps of the program, click here.  You […]

Wings Better Than Pistons on TV in Detroit

WOW!!  How exciting.  Despite the fact that the Detroit Pistons are in the NBA Playoffs, it was the hockey action that viewers in Motown were interested in.  Even more amazing - it marked the  best overnight rating for a third game of the Stanley Cup finals in six years.  Unfortunately, for those dedicated Wings fans, […]

Melrose and Levy Give Preview of Game 4

The Pittsburgh Penguins have a lot on the line tonight.  It’s their chance to tie the season and give themselves a chance to turn this series around.  They will head back to Motown for Game 5 against the Detroit Red Wings and I think it will be a tough game.  If they lose tonight, I […]

The Stanley Cup "Visits" Set of ER

Hmmm… I know Gary Bettman wants hockey to be more popular in the States but I had to laugh out loud when I saw that the Stanley Cup made an appearance on the set of the NBC series ER.  Apparently, it was part of the trophy’s press tour in California.  Ha ha!  They did a […]

The Hockey Show Game 3 Recap - Video

I could not have been more thrilled last night to see the Pittsburgh Penguins rebound and come back in the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals against the Detroit Red Wings.  It’s the morning after and I’m not any less excited watching the recap.  It was definitely a hard-played game and I am really looking forward to […]
