...it's not a good thing. The Martin brothers have gone by the nickname "the Sedin twins" since beginning of this half in the W. Daniel and Henrik have had a bit of a brotherly squabble going on throughout the past two months, much to the delight of their teammate. At times, there has been …

Tough one tonight but Blue kept rolling into form and scored late and then added an empty netter to win 5-3.
At our game last night in Elmira, a teammate who is a well-traveled cat made the comment about how lucky we are to place in such a fine facility. He travels so much he hasn't had a chance to play all that regularly over the past few years and he marveled about how nice it …

The lace you've been meaning to change is bound to break when you are in the biggest rush. It's the truest of Murphy's Laws applied to hockey. Tonight, I was in a grand rush to get to my 9:00 game in Elmira because, as luck would have it, my brief after-dinner, pre-game nap turned into a …
Ok, confession time. This entry is being written almost a week late. My iphone app tells me Red beat us 3-2 on the 4th, that Brian and Bart spared for us but beyond that, there are no other clues and I cannot remember a thing about the game. I'm going to have to add …
Blue won last night but without some regulars. One to injury, one to a trip to Vegas for some fun on Superbowl weekend. Apparently the spares brought in were the lucky rabbit's foot needed to break Blue's two game losing skid and we skated to a very nice 5-0 win. The score didn't tell the …
Blue lost again last night but we made a game of it. Trailing 3-0 and 4-1, we battled back to 4-3 and then missed a couple of close ones that would have tied it before we lost it with the their 5th coming late followed by an empty netter. And...a personal milestone was achieved earlier …
I have an awkward back door and landing area which makes it difficult to get my gear into and out of the house. As a result, I leave it in the garage. This works pretty well except in the really cold months because it just freezes and when I get to my games late at …
As athletes are fond of say after a hard fought victory, "We battled hard out there tonight." And so it was with Blue last night. We were down a couple of times but managed to tie it mid way through the final period and then Colonel nailed a beauty with a couple of minutes to …
Blue lost again tonight. Ugly, ugly, UGLY. Blue's captain and this trusty blog writer played defense (or more accurately I should say I filled in for an injured defenceman) and that made for some interesting defensive zone moments for us. I've played D about six times since I was eight years old so it's …
