Todd Bertuzzi Steve Moore incident: Crib notes for those who want the short version.

Moore cheap shotted our captain Moore knew he had to answer Moore fought worst fighter on our team and KNOWS that doesn't get him off the hook The GOOD fighter on our team comes straight for him, and after a LIFETIME IN HOCKEY...Moore turns away, screwing both himself and the guy coming for him Bertuzzi goes to engage in a fight like both he and Moore have countless times in countless games spanning their entire lives, there is a code of conduct that governs how this is done, it exists to mete out justice but ALSO to make sure that Justice stays within the game, everyone goes home that night to fight another day Moore breaks the code, he turns away, Bertuzzi attacks as anyone especially Moore knew he would, I expect Moore thought he might get Bertuzzi ejected or suspended by turning away, he broke the code he gambled and EVERYONE LOST Bertuzzi breaks his neck, THE LAST THING IN THE WORLD HE WOULD HAVE WANTED Moore's dishonorable actions scar t...

NHL NEWS: How Trevor Linden saved the NHL....really

To all you, the ungrateful misinformed masses, who think they are watching hockey today because the NHL is a natural occurrence like the Sun or Moon. Let's briefly revisit the 2005 lockout, the one that Trevor Linden talked the union into accepting a salary cap and was eventually sued by a group of NHL players for.   Yeah, that lawsuit and what Linden did, is the reason you have an NHL to complain about. LINDEN was the only guy in the union with brains enough to recognize that fans weren't interested in watching hockey broadcasts where the only topic of discussion is how long it would be till their best players went and signed with the Ranger or Red Wings. That was an era where Bobby Holik was getting 9 MILLION A YEAR The NHL was dying and the stupid selfish players couldn't see past their own pocketbooks. Looking back it's insane that we even watched a league where one team could spend twice or three times what another could. It's l...

NHL NEW: Tavares contract is a ruse to force new arena deal! How the Islanders could have made their old arena the hottest ticket in the NHL

Have you been biting your nails, quivering like a young school girl, dreading how the John Tavares situation will turn out? Becoming incontinent at the thought of John Tavares's pending UFA status and whether he will, like Steven Stamkos before him, sign with "His" team after all? Relax, there Betty Bloodpressure.... ...Don't think it isn't possible that the Islanders and Tavares are in on this together. The Arena thing has been dragging on for years, it's possible that they colluded to make it seem as if it wasn't taken care of, the Islanders would lose their franchise player and move soon after. Then whoever was on the other end of negotiations, the county, or whoever, finally took them seriously and said "Hmm, no, this team does have a positive economic impact, long-term, it's better for the county to keep them" The problem with the Islanders is that they never put a gun to anyone's head and said "Either we get ...

NHL NEWS: EVERY CUP WINNER "TANKS" PERIOD

Tanking doesn't work, Tanking makes my bum hurt blah blah..... On and on and on...............STOP!!!! Ever since Brian Burke issued his tongue in cheek "Nobody in the NHL would EVER DREAM of tanking" speech (Probably just to crack up his friends he knew were watching) several years back, the Automatron T.V, iPhone "Excuse me while I download my opinion" crew having been weeping wailing and bemoaning the blight on the NHL known as "THE TANK JOB" It's an excellent societal biopsy on how the human psyche has been "Hacked" by media in 2018 because apparently, these people can look at facts in black and white in front of them, then listen to some talking head tell them white is back and go on a "Face-inta-twit" rant on how the city needs to turn the street lamps on at noon because it's too dark for them to see. To that group, I now speak: Tanking doesn't work huh? What in the blue hell are you talking about?!!! ...

NHL MYTH BUSTING: Lucic did NOT end Komaserik's career, he actually didn't even win the fight! Here's the truth..

Milan Lucic ended Mike Komisarek's career.....PLEASE, STOP WITH THE B.S! It wasn't Lucic......people HAVE to stop perpetuating this myth. Have you ever dislocated your shoulders? I have, both It's a chronic injury that NEVER fully goes away Your shoulders are always at risk of falling out of the sockets, I've had them fall out in my sleep as I changed positions before, it sucks......anyway.. I can see it clear as the screen in front of me, Komaserik and Lucic are fighting, and Komaserik who had the same chronic shoulder problems I do threw a punch and his arm came right out of the socket I can see the pain on his face Lucic ISN'T CONNECTING at that moment, It was the SHOULDER dislocated from the force of Komaserik throwing a punch. When it happens, you are screwed for a while, sometimes it snaps back in on its own but other times it doesn't and if it doesn't your arm is USELESS, and every time it happens, it's more likely to happ...

NHL NEWS: PUNISH THE GUILTY!! How to REALLY fix the NHL entry draft

God, I am sick of people whining about the draft lottery and tanking. No system is perfect, nothing in the world is...sorry to break that news to you so late in life but this is THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE A CYCLING OF THE TOP TEAMS,  that is to say, that a team that sucked last season will be on the road to improving next season, What's your alternative? The worst teams have no realistic way of improving? Can you not see the inevitable outcome of that? Franchise retraction, closing of businesses, loss of jobs, shrinking of the hockey market Now guess what? Fewer of those kids you were so concerned about will ever be employed in professional hockey, there is no way a franchise who is stuck at the bottom with no viable means of improving attracts the entertainment dollar of the market in which it is located.....teams FOLD You see, this is not Charlie and the Chocolate factory, a mystical playground for hockey kids to float from cloud to cloud singi...

NHL: Why the New Jersey Devils should be stripped of their 95' cup

Welcome readers! Nice to have you along as I make my first foray into the "True Crime" genre of writing. But I will not be writing about an unsolved murder, rape, kidnapping or any of the like, I will, however, tell you the sad tale of a robbery, a theft that took place in plain view of the authorities, Authorities who didn't know enough about what they were in charge of (or didn't care) to take action against it and right a wrong that would ultimately cost the NHL it's brand new, blue-puck-glowing TV deal with FOX, stunt the growth of the game and nearly turn hard-core fans away in disgust. I write to you of the "Dead-puck" era, and the man single-handedly responsible for it, a man who STOLE the Stanley cup in 1995, by exploiting a flaw in the game. Hockey has always been known as fast, violent and exciting, and for most of its history, it has been, but during the 1960's came a revelation that would forever change the game. ...

Gudbranson for Kane? NHL Trade rumor, and why I won't spend a penny on the Canucks if Kane comes to Vancouver.

         So, an Erik Gudbranson trade is imminent, and rumor has it, Evander Kane could be involved, Ah....Jimbo, you've saved your biggest mistake for last, the final showstopper in the circus of stupidity that has been your regime. You're going to bring Evander Kane to the Vancouver Canucks?  You better not be, I've said it before and I mean it: I don't care if they win the frigging cup, I will not sink a single dollar into that team so long as Kane is on it. He's shown himself to be a very bad human being, this isn't the NFL, where fans don't care who is wearing the jersey, I care very much who I enable with my dollars and Kane gets NOTHING from me Too late to do anything about my tickets this year, but next year? No renewal Sadly, I could almost see this happening. Fans don't realize it, but even with all the talent he has Kane is very much not wanted throughout the league, you couldn't get much of anything for him in a trade Gudbra...
