The black gloves and helmets littered the corner of the ice. The sticks were strewn about, joyously tossed aside as the mob of white and red jerseys piled onto each other against the boards.
The giddy hollers and yelps of Canadian fans, who only ten minutes earlier were gagging on their beers wondering if their team [...]

Pause.  Life should come with the “pause” feature, don’t you think?  Just the other day, a friend and I talked about how life seems to be running out of control without an regard to the things we want to accomplish.  Ever morning I get up and yet life never once asks me if I would [...]

We are taking the weekly headlines and giving them a Michigan spin, and by Michigan I mean Metro Detroit. I refuse to publicize or support the White Flight babies who reside in the western side of Michigan–mainly because a good portion of the traitors are Notre Dame fans.

Another NHL free agent period, another swing and miss for the Los Angeles Kings.  Just as it was two years ago, when the Kings pledged to make a big splash in the free agent market only to settle for “B squad” players, that included marquee signing Michal Handzus (ooh…ahh), in less [...]

We still don’t know anything about the Stanley Cup Finals.  That statement is true if you believe that old theory “We don’t know anything about the series until a team loses at home.”
The Pittsburgh Penguin’s held serve with 4-2 victory at Mellon Arena to make the series 2-1 in favor of the Detroit Red Wings.

Just a city boy, born and raised in Mus-ke-gon Michigan…
