Don Cherry's Piano Desk
posted by GJ on December 28, 2011 @ 4:36PM

If you haven't seen this yet, well, hit that play button.  This is Don Cherry and Ron MacLean from Hockey Night in Canada.  Don is the between periods "color" guy, to say the least.

Great story on Derek Boogaard
posted by GJ on December 6, 2011 @ 8:44AM

Derek Boogaard, for those of you not overly familiar with the NHL, was an enforcer who played for Minnesota for a number of years and only briefly for the Rangers before dying of painkiller/alcohol mix before he even turned 30.

The NYT has a terrific article about him, and it's a great commentary on the state of fighting in the NHL.  Probably not an enjoyable read, but it's very powerful and should make you think seriously about the role of fighting in this game.

Anyhow, read on here

Game Sevens!!!
posted by GJ on May 13, 2009 @ 8:10AM

Over the next two nights, there will be three Game Sevens played--I haven't seen anything like this that I can recall.

Boston has stormed back from being down 3-1 to Carolina and take on the Canes in Boston Thursday.

Anaheim and Detroit have been trading games back and forth.  Detroit hosts Anaheim in Detroit Thursday.

The Capitals and Penguins are also having a whale of a series--Caps went up 2-0, Pens won three straight, and the Caps forced Game 7 with an OT winner on Monday.  Caps are hosting Pittsburg tonight for their final game.

All of these games will be on VS (possibly the NHL network for the second game on Thursday, VS will join it in progress if possible).  You might want to catch them, even if you don't normally watch hockey.  Game Sevens tend to be special affairs, and are steeped in hockey history and tradition.  Exciting stuff!

Qualification Round is wrapping up.  The Americans need to beat the Swiss today if they plan to keep playing, but even if they do, they won't make it far in the single elimination bracket.  There are a lot of good teams out there this year, and the USA isn't one of them.  :(
