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 …

There’s an App For That
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 …
Hockey Smells
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 …
Blue Wins Again
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 …
Being .500 isn’t bad for a blue team, is it?
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.

Down Goes Blue
Blue took it on the chin last night so the undefeated half-season dream died early. No excuses, just a bad night.
Blue Rolls On
The second half of the season in the W started last night and Blue marked the occasion with a W. Symmetry is a beautiful thing isn't it?
The Draft
Blue is back. The second-half draft for the W was held this afternoon and after much sniping and trading of scouting information the way fishermen trade info about where the fish are biting (hint: fisherman don't do this), the four teams were divied up. After studying Blue's success from the first half carefully, I spotted …
Note To Self…Wash Blue Sweaters
As I unloaded parcels from Christmas shopping last night, I noticed I had yet to take the garbage bag of Blue sweaters from the back of the van. As captain of blue in the second half the W, I get the honour of washing these suckers over the holidays. Strong leadership is all about …
Thursday night, no hockey
I don't think I missed a single Monday or Thursday of hockey this fall, starting from early September. There is no W game tonite, sadly. While Christmas blessings abound in my life, life is a little emptier with no Thursday night hockey to go to this week. No game to watch on the tele either. …
