It's finally here. The long hot summer is finally over. Bring on the long cold winter. That's right, the "Boys of Winter" are back tonight against the Colorado Avalanche. The new slogan, "We want it as bad as you" remains to be seen, but I must say I am encouraged by the 2008-2009 Bruins chances.......

On this very day of our Lord, September 30th, 2008 - CyberSports have finally launched their new online hockey simulation game, CyberPuck! I've been fiddling with it for a few hours now, and although the UI and design still leave a lot to be desired - I think they may be on to something. We've al......

I have an expression of sadness after hearing the news of player coach, and Charlestown Chief Legend, Reggie Dunlop's passing. I found out yesterday while at a wedding in Vermont. (Congratulations Kyle and Jill. Thank you so much for having MOL and I.) Slap Shot is my all time favorite movie, as ......

Mr. Excitement is the nick name of one of the guys on my team at work. We are aptly called, The Radiators, because we are bringing the heat! Mr. Excitement like a lot of things, chief among them, video games. Oh and eating contests. Now seems like a good time to mention, Mr. Excitement ate 18 don......

I subscribe to the theory you never wear another man's uniform, which is one reason why I don't buy or wear team jerseys. One exception is my Syracuse Bulldogs sweater. Its part of a Halloween costume the year I went as Oglethorpe. I wore the jersey, and a giant afro wig. For about 15 minutes. An......

MOL, George, and I went to Feng Shui for a very serious throw down, two Mai Tai's and the division of Bruins tickets for the upcoming season. If you are in the Chelmsford area, I highly suggest stopping in. In fact, here is a quick ranking of my top 3 local Chinese restaurants. 1.Feng Shui. Chel......

I am back from my weekend vacation in Portland, ON, and I need a vacation from my vacation. I'm pretty sure my liver is still in the Winchester Arms quivering like a little girl in the corner. My eyes are as dry as can be from being around animals I am allergic to for 4 days, and my bum still hur......

I just printed off my boarding pass for tomorrow's 9 AM flight to the Great White North. I'm looking forward to doing some boating, boozing, a Podcast, and general relaxing. I've never been to a part of Canada that wasn't a city, and I'm looking forward to it immensely. I hope Dave has properly d......

One of my customers called me today and left the following voicemail: "Come on. Drop the fucking puck already!" Amen brother. Amen. Feeling lazy, so I'm letting YouTube do the work. Enjoy. Ken Tasker vs. Trevor Senn. If you haven't seen this fight, well, you've just never looked for fights on You......

Dangerous combo here boys. It's a thousand. MOL is off at the Germ Factory leaving me unsupervised with at least a dozen of the "Workingman's Brew" in the fridge. I just booked my ticket to hang with Dave at the beginning of August (we PROMISE a Podcast) and the NHL schedule came out today. You g......

I'm sitting at my desk today around three, and I'm thinking I need some food. What to do? What to do? I'm trying to not be on the see food diet anymore, so I have a choice of pistachios, apricots, or some grapes. Grapes involve standing up, so that's right out. Now it's down to pistachios or apri......

I am a Boston Bruins season ticket holder as of Monday afternoon. My buddy George and I were talking at game 3 of the Montreal series this season about how many games we'd been to throughout the season. It seemed to us that the games we had been to, the other was there as well, and the games one ......

Hockey is not just the national pastime and passion, it's the embodiment of Canadian values. It's about work ethic, team play, physical conditioning and mental toughness. It's also about knowing when to leave all of that on the ice and move on. - Dave Burwick A very happy Canada Day to you all fr......

June gets a little busy for me. It's the end of the second quarter at work, and it's usually one of the busier times. See, I work in IT sales, and despite what you may hear on the news, there is not a recession on. As such, people with purchasing power want to get a lot of purchase done now, so t......
