Awesome clip of my all-time favourite player sinking a million dollar hole-in-one at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship over the weekend (found at Huffpost Sports): I think he celebrated that more than either of his Stanley Cups. Thatta boy Joe!

Official Walter Gretzky pen
My friends Jeff & Jaklyn were just in Toronto, and to make a long story short, they somehow ended up hanging out with Walter Gretzky in his house for about 4 hours. They brought me back one of Walter’s official autograph pens. Sweet! Thanks guys!
The Canucks This Year
New blog layout, title, and image. I hope I don’t alienate my one reader. Do you like it Colin? I don’t like to focus on the Canucks too much in this blog, even if they are my team. I’m a fan of the NHL and am always interested in what’s happening with every team. But … Continue reading »
Free agent frenzy aftermath, Heatley, Olympics, Joe Sakic
It’s been a few days. I’m busy wrapping up school work with two weeks left in my first year, but I’ll have plenty of time to talk hockey after that is over and my summer officially begins. It’s been a fun week in the National Hockey League with plenty of signings–some of them surprising–and some … Continue reading »
Time is running out
After everyone in Vancouver had all but given up on the Sedins being re-signed, Gillis surprised everyone and flew to Sweden to try and hammer out a deal in the last couple days leading up to July 1st. According to TSN, Gillis is now on his way back to Vancouver after leaving an offer on … Continue reading »
Draft Shenanigans
Heatley is still a Senator, Lecavalier is still in Tampa, but draft weekend wasn’t a total bust. Look at how happy Johnny Tavares is to be an Islander! Outside of the World Juniors, I don’t follow a lot of junior hockey. My knowledge of young players comes from what Bob McKenzie tells me at the … Continue reading »
Keyboard shortcut nicknames
Inspired by this blog post and the hilarious “CTRL-V” nickname for Magnus Pääjärvi-Svensson, Owen and I came up with more keyboard shortcut nicknames for current and past NHLers: Roberto Luongo: CTRL-S Patrik Stefan: CTRL-Z Alexander Daigle: CTRL-Q Richard Zednik: CTRL-X Chris Chelios: CTRL-ALT-DLT The Sedin twins: CTRL-C
Draft day!
I don’t pretend to know much of anything about prospects, but I still enjoy draft day. Outside of maybe the top 3 picks, I have no idea who will go where. You gotta think Tavares will go first. Tampa needs a marquee defenseman so I’m sure they would love Hedman. Either way they can’t go … Continue reading »
HHOF, Mike Babcock
Congratulations to Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Brian Leetch and Luc Robitaille on being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Undoubtably one of the strongest classes ever. In my opinion, a bit better than the 2007 class of Mark Messier, Al MacInnis, Scott Stevens and Ron Francis. What do you think? What is the strongest … Continue reading »
Bure in the HHOF? Dany Heatley in the West?
Today, the NHL will announce this year’s inductees into the vaunted Hockey Hall of Fame. The eligible players include a few names you may recognize even if you’ve only been vaguely aware of a sport where grown men chase each other around a frozen pond with sticks in their hands and razor-sharp blades on their … Continue reading »
