Game #22 – Lightning vs. Hawks: Hedley Lamarr’s Muggers, Buggerers, Bushwhackers

By Sam Fels November 21, 2019 0

Pat Maroon – A fine fourth liner, and yet he’ll get to wear the label of “the final ingredient” because he happened to be on the Blues last year and from St. Louis. Oh sure, he scored the goal that beat the Stars, a team that took the Blues to seven games even though they couldn’t […]

You Ain’t Shane, You Ain’t Mook – ’19-’20 NHL Team Previews: Tampa Bay Lightning

By Sam Fels September 20, 2019 0

Whoops. That ended up being the theme for the Bolts last season. They took a historically good season and a historically good individual season from Nikita Kucherov and dumped in straight into the toilet like tainted Taco Bell in four games. In some ways, it makes them more unique than if they’d just won the […]

Game #49 – Hawks vs. Rangers Spotlight: Good God, What Has Happened To Kirk ShattenKevin?

By Sam Fels January 17, 2019 0

We know that it’s hockey tradition for the Rangers to sign a big-ticket free agent and then watch it turn into ash in their mouth instantly. It’s generally the way things have been since they signed three-quarters of the 80s Oilers to win their one Cup. In fact, maybe it’s penance for that. Chris Drury, […]

You Share The Same Fate As The People You Hate – ’18-’19 Team Previews: New York Rangers

By Matt McClure September 16, 2018 0

For seemingly eons now, the New York Rangers have been foisted upon the general hockey viewing public based solely due to the city they play in despite being boring as shit and never winning anything, culminating each spring with the torpor of yet another series against the Capitals. Mercifully they spared everyone another round of […]

Your Friends And Neighbors – ’17-’18 NHL Team Previews: And F— New York, Too

By September 17, 2017

We could have written the same preview for the New  York Rangers for at least the last three years, probably the last five, maybe the last ten. They’ll get more TV and press time due to their locale and Original Six status, but this is the same collection of small, quick, faceless forwards who don’t […]

Live From The Five Hole – Jack Of All Trades

By February 28, 2017

As we were recording, there were actual trades going on in the NHL, and Cieslak was somewhere over the Atlantic, as he is being extradited to The Hague for his various war crimes. Sam has escaped from the maw of the Internet Monster to actually be able to engage in the conversation. Of course, by […]
