You may not like Pronger but I’m sure you’d take him over Burish any day of the week and twice on Sundays

Stanley Cup Finals all tied up

Claude Giroux scores again in game 4 to help the Flyers tie up the Stanley Cup Finals at 2 games a piece. I’m not a huge fan of either team but I’m a huge fan of Giroux. After all, he does have the same last name as I do.

Yahoo Sports has Hawks up 2 games to 0

The second game of the Stanley Cup finals currently has the Hawks up 2-1 over the Flyers with about 14 mins left in the 3rd period but Yahoo sports have the Hawks up 2 games to 0. It’s a little premature but perhaps they know something we don’t.

Who would have thought the Montreal Canadians could have knocked out both the president trophy winner and last year’s Stanley cup champions? Not this guy but I have to say it’s made the playoffs very exciting. Vive les canadiens!

Let’s Get Pat Burns into the Hockey Hall of Fame – NOW!

Posted on April 4, 2010 by No Comments

Pat Burns is one of the classiest, most-respected coaches to ever stand behind the bench. In 14 seasons as an NHL coach, he amassed an impressive record of 501-350-161-14 in 1019 games with Montreal, Toronto, Boston and New Jersey.

He won three Jack Adams Awards with three different teams (Montreal in 1989, Toronto in 1993 and Boston in 1998) — the only three time winner in history. He also won in his first year as a head coach. He hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup with the Devils in 2003.

He retired from coaching because of recurring bouts with cancer. After his latest diagnosis (lung cancer), he decided to forego treatment. Pat Burns will not be with us much longer. Let’s pressure the HHOF selection committee and the media to get Pat Burns fast-tracked into the Hockey Hall of Fame. While he and his family can enjoy it. While he can attend in person. And while he can bask in the ultimate, and well-deserved achievement of a stellar career cut short. Please help us spread the word.

Hockey Finder discusses clean hockey gear with Sani-Sport

Posted on April 3, 2010 by No Comments

I had the pleasure of speaking to Steve Silver the owner of Montreal-based Sani Sport about their patented sani sport system. I play hockey at least 3 times per week so trying to keep my gear clean is a challenge. I always air out my equipment, hang it up and spray it with Sudden Death Odor Eliminator. In addition I put a fan on it or during the summer hang it outside (Sorry neighbors). This all is good but I’ll be the first to admit that it’s not enough. I’ve heard of other machines but when I got a call asking me to chat with Steve I was very interested to hear what he had to say.

First of all, I was amazed to learn that over 75 professional teams use the system and it’s endorsed by the NHL as well as USA hockey. Secondly, I found it nice to know that all the product components are made in North America. Finally, it looks like it’s the real deal. I haven’t been able to try it out yet but when I do I’ll update this post.

FEATURES of the Sani Sport system:
1. Accommodates one large set of hockey or
football equipment
2. Extremely durable stainless steel provides
rugged construction
3. Caster wheels provide easy mobility
4. Dimensions: 23″ deep X 45″ wide x 67″ high
5. Cycle time is only sixteen minutes !
6. No piping, drains or external hookups

Where can you find one of these machines?

Well you can either buy one…they sell for approx. $13,795 each or you can email them with your location and ask for the closest retailer. I was excited to learn that there were a few places in the Twin Cities that have the machine. One of the sports shops who does is Strauss Skates and Bicycles. Steve told me they will have a full list of retailers on their website in the near future.

Should Ovechkin have been suspended?

There’s a fine line between a solid clean check and a dirty one. What do you think? Should Alexander Ovechkin have been suspended?
