Bob Probert. His name was synonymous with enforcer and he’s one of the few NHL tough guys to make an appearance in an all-star game. The same season he attained the Red Wings franchise record for penalty minutes in a season. That there is a feat that may never be matched. Reports came in today ...
Around the NHL, The Hockey WorldI know I’m getting hit. I brace myself for those hits. It’s not like I don’t know it’s coming… it’s not like I have my head down the whole time. It’s just I have to go to those places. If I’m just staying on the wall and waiting for my pass – the seam pass ...
Oilers, The Hockey WorldToday the Hall of Fame voters decide on the 2010 crop of Hall of Fame inductees. Eligible players include Dave Andreychuk, Dino Ciccarelli, Doug Gilmour, Joe Nieuwendyk, Adam Oates, and the controversial nominee, Eric Lindros.

The Hockey WorldThe end of a successful Olympics. And what a final week. Canada picked up 8 golds (!) since the last MMS. Last Monday the papers were talking about the Own the Podium being a failure and how we should have never done it, but I think as this amazing week has come to an end ...
