I’m not going to sit here and pretend that hockey players are tougher than other athletes. It’s just a fact so I don’t have to pretend. I mean it’s right there in the title. And tonight we got another example of that from Vincent Trocheck. The dude can’t even skate, and even though he’s trying […]
Well let’s see. I live in the year 2021 so I stream everything. I have Hulu Live, which doesn’t carry Bally Sports (the hip new name for the regional Fox Sports channels). That means no Brewers. However, they still have the Fox Sports Go app. Win. Except I only have Spectrum for internet and not […]
A comprehensive list: You care entirely too much about the outcome of a game between 7-9 year olds (or 10 or 11 or 12 or…) and yell at the kids. On either team. Not cheer, yell. You yell at the refs. That’s pretty much it. I personally could do without the cowbells and cheering for […]
Widely expected to be one of the worst teams in the NHL this season, the Ducks get their first win of the season in game three. Anaheim started their season with a 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights, a 2-1 loss in overtime to Vegas, and now a 1-0 win against the vaunted Minnesota Wild. […]
Today is the day: the NHL is finally back!!! It really gets going tomorrow night at 10 PM ET / 9 PM CT, Ducks @ Golden Knights, but whatever, semantics. Hockey is back, and I have emotions. With hockey returning (in case you hadn’t heard), I thought I’d do something very timely and Power Rank […]
Last night, younger child and I were watching a little bit of the Michigan State-Duke basketball game. The roundball doesn’t make it on to our television that often, so he wasn’t super familiar with the score bug for a basketball game. “Dad, what are those circles by the team names?” “That shows how many timeouts […]
My children go through phases, as most children are wont to do, with just about everything: toys, books, food, pajamas, you name it. That also includes YouTube videos. Occasionally it’s wiffle ball or some NFL/NHL highlight reel. More often than not it’s some PBT NERF thing or Kingdom Wars gameplay. Lately though (like four days), […]
I’ve skied once, maybe twice, in my entire life. I’m more of a tubing kind of gent. I am very adventurous and very active in the fitness world, though, so I’m always looking for new reasons to get out and about. Fortunately targeted Facebook ads exist, and I’ve found a new way to get my […]
It sounds like the NHL might be introducing fourth jerseys for the upcoming season, whenever that is. Teams playing in the outdoor games always get a special jersey, but this would be a true fourth jersey for every team in the league. The theme is “reverse retro,” which is essentially a remix of a throwback […]
The 2020 NHL Draft got started last night, with the event being held virtually, because obviously. Now I love hockey as much as the next guy, but I know about as much about these kids as I do about my neighbors. Which is to say I know what city they live in. But it’s hockey, […]
Not One to Brag
