Return of the Goons

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...

Turn out the Lights

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...

Turning the Page

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. https://youtu.be/NpGTNXVIHGM The Flyers and Bruins sure could have used one the other night. I was certain Andy Ference and Zac Rinaldo were going to have ...

Michael P. Russell 1975-2011

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. ...

About Chris

Chris is from the hardscrabble streets of Concord, MA. A born hockey player, he’s lead every league he’s ever played in – from street hockey in front of the house, to the California Penal League in PIM. In High School his dreams of playing in the NHL were shattered when he was introduced to Budweiser and the United States Marine Corps. That, coupled with the fact there isn’t much call for a 5’6? defenseman who skates like he has a parachute attached to his hindquarters, dashed his dreams of one day playing in the show. Always a fan of the tough guys, his love of hockey and hockey fights has continued to this day. Chris currently resides in Fitchburg, MA with his beloved Beez. At least until she comes to her senses and kicks him out. Chris would love to hear your personal goon experiences and stories so please feel free to email him, anytime.

Guess who’s Back?
