Battle of the Blades III Review: Tessa and David crowned champion
It took three seasons for Battle of the Blades to feature its first female hockey player. It took substantially less time to crown one champion, as Tessa Bonhomme and her partner, David Pelletier, took home the BotB trophy as the big winners of Season three.
Bryan Berard and Marie-France Dubreil were the runners up, while Tanith Belbin and Boyd Devereaux finished third.
Tessa and...

The 7 neglected NHL fan pages we absolutely adore
The Seven is an arbitrary list of randomly connected hockey subjects that will run every Thursday on Puck Daddy. Agree to disagree.
Technology has spoiled us as hockey fans. Stats about everything from faceoffs percentage to CORSI to fighting majors in the ECHL are a click away. We have blogs dedicated to every team in every League. And not only do we not have to twiddle our thumbs...

Battle of the Blades III Review: Featuring dweeby Boyd Devereaux
Welcome back to Puck Daddy's enduring, long-suffering coverage of Battle of the Blades, a program that, prior to being assigned by my editor to watch, I would have claimed you couldn't pay me to watch.
As much as I find this show to be insufferable -- heck, that word might not even be strong enough -- I should admit up front that this week's program had a few tolerable...

Odds to win Battle of the Blades (yes for real)
For our American friends, you will not know what Battle of the Blades is unless you somehow are a closet CBC fan.
To put it simply, it is Dancing with the Stars on ice but with former hockey players instead of stars. It is the type of show that would only survive in a hockey loving country such as Canada. Yes it has been on multiple seasons.
Anyways, the really weird part of this...

Canucks Training Camp and Other Adventures
The Canucks are gradually reducing their roster, and players who have been released thus far read like a who’s who of the hockey world… gone so far are defencemen Sawyer Hannay and Marc Anthony Zanetti, and goalie David Honzik. Shocking stuff.
So, who remains?
Flames facing a Canucks team with Steve Begin, Anders Eriksson, Todd Fedoruk and Manny Legace. Is it 2001...

Faceoff Percentage 97-02
A quick back and forth with Dennis King yesterday got me thinking about faceoff percentages. As any fan of the current Edmonton Oilers knows, faceoffs are damned important and own zone faceoffs are teaching every Oiler fan a lesson about their value in 10-11 (and before). Since we do have some information available to us going back about 15 years, I thought it might be an idea to...

Little Jerry: Why I (over)Value Jerry D’Amigo
"Little Jerry ran from here to Newman's in under thirty seconds!"First off, thanks to Curt S for asking me about this. I have been running on fumes for ideas of what to post for a while. If you haven’t already, check out Curt’s blog, Blue Chip Prospects. The initial question stems from my post on the top 25 players in the Leafs organization under 25. Here is the...

20 Things about the Oilers Draft History
The Edmonton Oilers have a new scouting director (Stu MacGregor) and a small sample under his direction. Still, there are indications that the "MBS" is going to be his own man at the draft table. Below are Oiler draft trends--both old and new--that may have some application at this year's draft. I think it is worth looking back to see if we can predict the future.When...

Preds at Oilers, G45, 09-10
The Edmonton Oilers have been off for a few days, and in that time the club has lost ground to everyone but Toronto. If you're a fan of making the playoffs it's a horrible thing, but if you like the Entry Draft each summer this could be a windfall.In fact, it is getting harder to create a scenario in which the Oilers get bullied out of the top 3 selections. There's a...

Former NHLer Boyd Devereaux will have a lot to think about in the weeks ahead as he recuperates from a terrifying broken neck.

Every Dowd Has a Silver Lining
This is Jim Dowd. He played 70 games for the Oilers, scoring 5 goals. Picked him up in a deal that sent Greg DeVries away and lost him in the expansion draft in 2000 (Minnesota).Dowd played on a line with Boyd Devereaux and Georges Laraque and that 4line could rattle and hum. He killed penalties and he contributed a little on offense and he could win a faceoff and move up the depth...

Toronto Maple Leafs: Nine Tips to Improve Media Coverage
I think we'd all agree that there certainly couldn't be much more Leafs coverage. There are upwards of 30 reporters covering the Leafs. To put that in perspective, there are 31 journalists assigned to Queen's Park (the Province of Ontario's legislature).
In addition to having their own TV channel, the Leafs are the lead item on each and every TSN and Sportsnet...
