So long UAH hockey; Now let's point some fingers

Joe Y. posted an article on - Oct 24, 2011, 2:30 pm
After two years of trying to fight the good fight, Alabama-Huntsville hockey will be no more after this season. Oh sure, interim school president and Alabama education hitman Malcolm Stopera will say that moving UAH hockey from Division I down to club level isn’t a big deal because there’ll sti...

Preparing To Riot: Adam Oates' annual Hall of Fame bid

Joe Y. posted an article on - Jun 21, 2010, 9:00 am
It’s time for the annual boning over of the most unappreciated passer in the modern era of the NHL. Last year I was resigned knowing full well that Adam Oates wasn’t going to be voted into hockey’s hall of fame. I said it last year that if Adam Oates didn’t go into the Hockey Hall of Fame in...

RPI Hockey's A-Team

Joe Y. posted an article on - Jun 16, 2010, 2:24 am
I shared this over at Without A Peer first, but I figured it was time to let the rest of you in on the madness that prevails when my mind gets a little too active. After RPI announced their captains for the 2010-2011 season, I got struck by a little pop culture inspiration. I pity the fools messinâ...

Big thanks to Matt and Jeff on The Weekend Warmup at 96.3 the Big Jab in Portland, Maine for having me on the show with them this morning talking about hockey. Being a one-time radio producer, it was fun to be on the other end of the phone this time. We talked Bruins failure, Bruins future and whet...

Coyotes sale failure means Gary's business failure

Joe Y. posted an article on - May 8, 2010, 3:19 pm
You knew it was too good to last. The Coyotes have a season to remember only to get unceremoniously dumped in the playoffs and then the harsh reality of doing business with a fink like Gary Bettman set in. Last summer when Jerry Moyes declared bankruptcy and tried to sneak the team off to Jim Balsi...

No Consistency – No Surprise

Joe Y. posted an article on - Apr 25, 2010, 9:23 pm
I really should just change my website to keep track of the lack of consistency in the meting of punishment when it comes to dirty hits. This time around, we get a noob to the dirty hit pool in Marian Hossa. Where have I seen a hit like that before… Oh right. So what’s the difference here? We...

Minnesota IS the state of hockey

This is going to end up being a post done in mostly video form to help describe some of the nonsense that went on at the WCHA Final Five. Please excuse the mostly amateur hour commentary from yours truly in any of these videos as.. Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve done any variety of video and...

Want to know why hockey is the greatest game on the planet?  Check out the ovation the fans in Dallas gave to Mike Modano playing in his final home game there at least this season, and perhaps in his career. I hope you watched that to the end because Stars color man Daryl Reaugh said it right. ...

Today's Self-Serving Linkage

Joe Y. posted an article on - Mar 31, 2010, 2:07 pm
Since I’ve been going ape-nuts since returning from Minnesota and the Final Five some new and exciting things have been going on.  I was tempted to go really low-brow on how to hype this but instead I’ll just call this “Linkage With Dinklage.” Dinklage is the man. I’...

NCAA Hockey Tournament: Expect Chaos

Joe Y. posted an article on - Mar 24, 2010, 8:47 pm
Fans get confused when the term “March Madness” gets thrown around. I’m sure most of you attribute it to the NCAA basketball tournament and that’s fine and all but the last few years it’s applied more to the NCAA hockey tournament than anything else. Back in 2003 when ...

After years of talking about wanting to go to the WCHA Final Five, I’ve finally got the opportunity to go.  For such a trip, I had to book it in advance knowing full well that more personal entanglements might have to be sacrificed in order to go. For one, there was the chance that RPI could ...

Let’s just cut to the chase here. Dirty. Disgusting. Blind-sided. Unnecessary. These are all the right words to use to describe that hit on Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard at the hands of long-time notorious douchebag Matt Cooke. No, he’s not a douchebag because he plays for the Peng...
