Good Luck, Trevor!

The Bruins lost 2-1 last night, and other than the fact they couldn’t stay out o the box, and couldn’t finish their chances per usual, I think it was the best game compete level wise in quite some time. Here’s hoping they can replicate the effort from last night, and put a couple more past the Kings tonight. Having said that, I am here to speak of something else today. One of Goonblog’s favorite sons got the call this week, and I think I speak for everyone in the Goonsquad, when saying we couldn’t be prouder of Trevor Gillies today!

First off, I’m not mental or anything, but is there a better birthday present for Trevor than playing in his second NHL game today. Against the Philadelphia Flyers no less? If Riley Cote is in the lineup today, it will most certainly be on. We have been huge fans of Trevor for years here at Goonblog, and want to wish him all the best in the NHL! Go get em Trevor. Here’s a real heavyweight tilt between Trevor and best friend Jeremy Yablonski from last weekend to wet your whistle!

The Rempire State Building

I have never attended a game where a 5-on-5 fight kicked things off. I have seen all manner of things at a hockey game (freshly minted Matt Rempe shirts, peanut fights, fist fights, mustard pack fights, male and female nudity, hate crimes, personally being escorted out of the Garden) and been in the building countless times when a fight happened right off the opening faceoff. But never an all-ice-encompassing shitshow like that one between the Rangers and the Devils. Elvis Who? Chris Has *En...

The Top 5 Fighters in the NHL - 2024

There’s been a lot of hockey on as of late that featured zero fights. The NHL All Star game, the Beanpot, and "any Boston Bruins game" to name a few. Seriously, I don’t even remember the last time the Bruins had a fight. I see scraps throughout the National, and other leagues, so I know it’s still a "thing" - just not with our beloved Bruins.

Not a Montreal Canadiens Blog - We Swear

Hey, guess what? Arber “WiFi” Xhekaj had another scrap over the weekend! Shocking, right? In all honesty people made a big deal out of the fight. I think it’s mainly because he fought the “Big Rig” Patrick Maroon. It’s not much of a scrap in the grand scheme of things. Lots of punches to the license plate from WiFi. Users on Hockey Fights are scoring it a lopsided win for Xhekaj, and I agree. I was reluctant to even mention it - as this is fast becoming a Montreal Canadiens blog (sort of). W...

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.
