Truly exceptional NHL goals
No, I don’t intend to become your new video portal. It just so happens that I keep finding glorious video content! These are the top 10 shootout goals from 2006, including Malik’s goal in the 18th round of the shootout at #1. Cannot wait for NHL season to get here.
A tale of profound drunkenness
I got most of my drinking done before I ever left college. Now I might have a drink occasionally when I’m gaming and otherwise do designated driver and chuckle with wry amusement at the antics of the drunkards. I recently played in an ironman hockey tournament about 45 minutes from home. After the first night’s game [...]
Hurricanes regular season closer
Tonight is the Hurricanes’ regular season ending versus the Panthers. The division title is theirs for the taking tonight and the Panthers haven’t won in the RBC Center since 2002. Signs are good, but hockey is hockey. You never know. We’ll be there, desperately hoping for inclusion in the “shirt off our backs” promotion where [...]
Hilarious NHL promo video

SCORE!,” while lifting my arms in the air as we always do when a Hurricane scores a goal. The television shows veteran Joe Sakic skating [...]
“He did what in his cup?”
Last night, while watching the Hurricanes smack around the Panthers — 6 Hurricanes goals in the third period! — on TV they showed a small feature about Cam Ward and his day with the Stanley Cup. At one point they, of course, show him after the game hoisting the Cup. Quite like the picture to [...]
Farewell, Kevyn Adams
Were I to purchase a named sweater of the Hurricanes, a serious contender would have to be Kevyn Adams. A perennial fourth liner, Kevyn exhibits work ethic and tenaciousness on defense. He centered one of the two penalty kill lines last season that stymied the best powerplay lines in the league. An alternate captain, he [...]
Poor Stefan
I believe at one particular point in this video, the Dallas Stars’ Patrick Stefan becomes an atheist — or a firm believer in a particularly malevolent god. I invite you to see where you think that turning point is. It’s not as bad as it could be — they didn’t end up losing the game [...]
