Happy Boxing Day! My apologies for the long layoff. I have been on doggie duty for the last ten days. MOL has been working strange hours, and as such, I’ve had to take care of Milan Lucic. We’ve been watching a lot of hockey together, but when I try to use the computer all she wants to do is chew on the screen, so blogging has been tough. My Christmas was great. This year was a very relaxing affair. It was nice to not have to run around. Anyway, I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! I’ll be back next week with some goon stuff.

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.

Yesterday was one of the coolest and hardest days of my life. We'll get to the cool part, but first the hard part. The cool part is worth the wait. Trust me.
So, the hard part. Mike Russell's wake. It was hands down, the hardest wake I have ever gone to in my whole life, and that includes my own father's. The show of support was incredible. I saw many, many people I hadn't seen in years. It was awful circumstances in which to see old friends, but it was nice to see them nonetheless. I was ob...
