Random Hockey Book of the Week – Wk1
October 28, 2011
Week 1: Sports Illustrated The Hockey Book Trying out a new feature (and busting out some seriously mediocre Photoshopping)… picking a random interesting-looking hockey book every Friday. Some of them will be ones I’ve read, but most will be ones I hope to read someday, whenever the time-demons decide to give me some of my …
NHL Realignment Project – Week 22
October 23, 2011
Nationalism Week twenty-two in the NHL Realignment Project has a “country” flavor to it. The main thing we’re doing differently this week is how we arrived at our honorific division names. The NHL is mostly made up of North American players and European, right? So I took the two (present-day) countries from each continent that …
NHL Realignment Project – Week 21

Pod Casting – There’s No Place Like Home (and Away) This week we go to pods for the NHL Realignment Project. The addition of the Seattle Shamrocks and the Quebec Nordiques gets our league’s team count up to (our favorite very divisible number,) 32. In an effort to not only divide the teams up the …
NHL Realignment Project – Week 20
October 13, 2011
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto With all the recent talk of NHL Realignment, it’s apparent that it’s a very emotional subject. “It’d be an insult if…”, “How dare they consider the possibility of…”, “If they do that, I swear I’ll…” So this week on the NHL Realignment Project, we take emotion out of the equation and ask …
NHL Realignment Project – Week 19
October 10, 2011
Champions Leage (Semi) Final So this is the final iteration of the idea started three weeks ago, that of the “Champions League”. We started with a league that consisted of only teams that had won the Cup, and then we expanded it to include teams that had made it to the Stanley Cup finals, but …
NHL Realignment Project – Week 18
September 28, 2011
Champions League Plus Expanding on the idea that started two week ago, this week we’re expanding by six teams (à la 1967). The six teams we’ve allowed into our “Champions League” are the teams that have be able to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals, but haven’t won. They’ve earned their stripes, and now …
NHL Realignment Project – Week 17
September 22, 2011
Champions League (Version 2) As some of you geniuses may have figured out by the title of last week’s post, we are doing a variation this week instead of a full-on new idea. Things are super-busy at work right now, and this is the way we’re gonna go. Gotta pay the bills… what can you …
NHL Realignment Project – Week 16
September 12, 2011
Champions League (Version 1) Just like, last week, we’re gonna go into contraction mode again. But we’re pushing it much further this time. In this, the sixteenth week of the NHL Realignment Project, we’re going to contract the NHL to only the current teams that have already won the Stanley Cup (yes, I know the NHL …
NHL Realignment Project – Week 15
September 07, 2011
Triple Threat Okay, last week we took things to the limit by having 44(!) teams, so this week we pull back. The number of the week is THREE. We’re scuttling the THREE teams that get the most chatter on the internets about being in trouble… The Islanders, The Coyotes and The Blue Jackets. The thing with this …
