It looks like at least one face of a franchise is staying put. Tie Domi has decided to remain in Toronto which is ultimately great news for Leafs fans and finesse players alike. I think it’s pretty cool he turned down more cash to stay where he feels at home – in the T-Dot. As the current shake up resolves itself, I think you will find it’s the tough guys that end up staying where they please – money be damned. Good for Tie.

I guess we can call this the Goonblog 2013 Stanley Cup Special, or, 2013 Playoffs: How I lost all Respect for Sidney Crosby. Either way, I'm feeling creative, so, here we are. Where have I been you ask? You care? Let's get up to speed.
In 2011 my daughter Caroline was born - and the Bruins went on a magical run to win Lord Stanley's Cup. Fast forward to the end of 2012, and Victoria is born. Now the Bruins are marching their way back to the coveted Cup once again. Every time I have a chil...

Finally the Bruins have gotten on the board with a fight last night in Chicago. Nice work by Gregory Campbell to try to spark the boys. Not much of a scrap, but good on Soupy to get it started. The fight I wanted to talk about happened Thursday between Pittsburgh's Arron Asham, and Washington's Jay Beagle. It was a bit of a one sided affair, and the fight got the hockey world talking. Personally, I thought it was a good scrap, and had to be done, but others don't see it that way.
The fight s...

We are now 9 games into the NHL season, and there has been a total of 1 fight. One. Uno. That's not a lot. It was a decent scrap in yesterday afternoon's contest between LA's Kyle Clifford, and the Rangers Brandon Prust. I am not here to offer any analysis on why there has only been one fight, I'm just saying, there hasn't been many.

Well, I hate to do it again with the bad news about a hockey player dying, but here we go. An old friend of mine from way back in the day was killed in a car accident last Saturday night. Of all the deaths over this summer, the death of Mike Russell hits the hardest. Mike was 36, had a wife and 2 kids, and was my best friend growing up. He will be missed.
I don't know exactly when and where Mike and I met. I would assume it was the early 80's, at either a soccer field, or a hockey rink. ...
