MichaelN reviewed A League of Their Own. May 02

posted in Just Baseball

I Loved This Film!

With all the historical baseball films out there this is one of the best! During WW II there was a dearth of "male" players to fill the minor league rosters. As a result there was … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Wild On...

Team placement really confuses me sometimes. I mean, how does a small market get a team back after losing a first team because it wasn't doing well? How the hell is the Minnesota Wild created when there's … more

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Now, let me see if I have this right, just so I know I'm being completely clear on the subject: Hockey team to Atlanta called the Flames. Flames out of Atlanta to Calgary. Hockey team to Winnipeg … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Take a Bite

The Nashville Predators have at least one thing no other team can claim: Their head coach, Barry Trotz, is currently the longest-tenured head coach in the NHL. He was hired in 1997, just a couple of weeks … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

A Roar Worse than Their Bite

There's not very much to say about the Florida Panthers. They've mostly been living an existence that's as unfortunate as it is inauspicious. This was after they began with more promise than most expansion … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Ride the Lightning

There's a very popular pastime in the northern United States, especially along the Rust Belt: Moving to Florida! So naturally, if you're the NHL and you're trying your hand at southern expansion, the … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

At Last! Senators Capable of Doing Things!

Sometimes, it's heartening to know the NHL has a vast reservoir of intelligence capable of taking care of obvious little things. Like their You Can Play campaign right now. Or the fact that it knew enough … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

The Real Mickey Mouse Team

With the exceptions of the lockouts, what we have here is the most public of the NHL's many embarrassments. It comes off as nothing but a desperate ploy for attention. Here's what … more

BaronSamedi3 reviewed San Jose Sharks. April 11

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Second Round Knockout

The first wave of NHL expansions ran from 1967 to 1974. Then there was the merger with the WHA in 1979. Yeah, that was an awful lot of upheaval for a league which survived with all of six teams starting … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Cap Them Off

Washington. Oh, Washington. You look at a place like this and you think to yourself, can't these guys do ANYTHING right? Look at Congress, look at the city's crime rate during the 90's, look at the general … more

BaronSamedi3 reviewed New Jersey Devils. April 09

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Devilish

Usually in sports, stories of underdog teams rising to their potential make us all warm and fuzzy inside. Then there's the New Jersey Devils of the NHL. The NHL owes a number of things to the Devils, … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Rocking and Rolling

You know, I'm now officially curious as to how it is these former WHA teams followed the same rough pattern: The Winnipeg Jets, Hartford Whalers, Quebec Nordiques, and Edmonton Oilers all started out … more

BaronSamedi3 reviewed Carolina Hurricanes. April 03

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Rock You Like a Hurricane

You know, there are times when I feel like we arrogant northern hockey fans have got it all wrong about this whole hockey in the south thing started by Gary Bettman. Mostly I think a lot of the Carolina … more

A Dynasty of Drillers

The big cities usually dominate the professional sports markets. If there's a smaller town lucky enough to be blessed with a major league team, it's a given the team is just a bone thrown to appease people … more

BaronSamedi3 reviewed Calgary Flames. March 27

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Hot as Fire, Cool as Ice

Fire and ice. A greater contrast between two elements doesn't exist. It's difficult to fathom any situation where the two of them might be peanut butter and jelly, two great flavors that terse great together. … more

BaronSamedi3 reviewed New York Islanders. March 26

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Lost on an Island

Among the inescapable facts of life are death, taxes, and New York City sports fans having a serious sense of entitlement. Maybe the New York Islanders can be a little bit of an explanation for that, … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

The Other Canadians Team

You know the Vancouver Canucks. Oh, you KNOW the Vancouver Canucks. You've been hearing about them everywhere. Robin from How I Met Your Mother is a huge fan. (As is Cobie Smulders, the actress who plays … more

posted in The Puck Drops Here

Desert Dogs Who Need Bones

I'm going to take a brief moment right now to do something I don't ordinarily do in my hockey-related musings: Give NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman some of the props he deserves. No, I don't mean that in … more

Flying High Again

Yeah, we all know those famous stories revolving around Philadelphia fandom. Aren't these the fans that booed Santa Claus some 40-odd years ago? The guys who cheered when Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael … more

BaronSamedi3 reviewed Pittsburgh Penguins. March 20

posted in The Puck Drops Here

The Chosen Frozen

All fans of the NHL know that the history of the Pittsburgh Penguins can be nicely and evenly divvied up into two separate eras: The Before Era and The After Era. The turning point is a certain Mario … more

Crown Them

There are three NHL teams in California. Yes, I know the thought is pretty weird, but then again, so is the state of California, or at least that's how the reputation goes. Amidst the hockey hoopla in … more

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars

I can clearly remember when the Stars were given to Dallas. It was the first time I ever started giving thought to NHL politics, because I was questioning the logic behind it. Hockey in Texas. It seemed … more

On Winged Wheels

Poor Detroit is on the receiving end of a lot of bad things these days. It's the most impoverished city in the country. It's the most violent city in the country. The housing crisis there is so nasty … more

Falling Leafs

It had been a long time in the making, but in 2008, the Toronto Maple Leafs finally did it. Led by Darren Roanoke, they overcame the long odds and won the 14th Stanley Cup of their long and storied history, … more

Blueshirted

New York City is to baseball as Nebraska is to corn. Hockey is a whole other matter. When the NHL decided it should probably try to place a team in New York City if it was going … more
