An Alternative to Crybaby Hockey

The glistening gleam of the ice…the crushed slushy bits that fly up onto the Plexiglas that divides onlookers from the action…the post-goal music, open ice brawls and the energy and excitement radiating from the arena time and time again – The way things are looking, fans of the NHL and all its...

Tips for Following the Puck in a Hockey Game: (on tv or otherwise...)

Before I became such a hard-core fan, I, too, had the annoying problem of not being able to follow the puck.

Hockey Heartbreaks: The Saga Continues...

Why is it that every team I decide to like winds up losing when it matters most?

I had to see it coming, but somehow my girlish faith kept me convinced that Smarty would be the one to break the mold.

Flyers Rake Up the Leafs--Tomorrow's Game Could Be It!

Ahhh... beloved hockey fans... What better way to spend lazy weeknights than immersed in playoff hockey?! My boys are making me proud with awesome energy and great determination...

YAY for # 81... Now maybe the EAGLES can make it past a typical season and get into the Superbowl! I am definitely tired of watching teams I care very little for play in the big show.... ahhh oh well, I am used to it by now as a Philly fan. THANK GOODNESS we got T.O.

We WANT Nitty.... Or at Least Eschey....

Man, come on. How come we can beat teams like Ottawa and the Devils, but not the stinky teams like Washington and the Penguins...?!!@##$@$%%^&**&$%@!!!@#$%%^&^*&*^*$%!#$@@#$ ^ I don't freaking get it.
