Goonblog Top 10
As the end of the decade approaches, there are a million different lists. Dave and I have been heavily debating Top 50 Comedies of the Decade, and we both agree Stepbrothers is getting shafted. Naturally, the Hangover is coming in tops on a lot of lists. I liked it, but not nearly as much as I liked Stepbrothers. If you haven’t seen Stepbrothers, do it. NOW! Wait. Finish reading...

I’m back Biatches
Where the hell have you been? Funny you should ask GoonBlog Fans. For you loyal followers, it’s been a while since my last post and I’m sure all of you have been worrying sick about me. I’m here to tell you that I am alive and well, kinda. The government did not appreciate my import and export business and controlled me for some time. Upon letting me out of their control, I...

Follow GoonBlog on Twitter!
We didn’t create a Twitter profile because everyone else and their grandmother did (although after a fifth of Amaretto we might jump off a bridge) – rather, we’ve created the GoonBlog Hockey Twitter account because we’re amazed at the number of hockey fans who actually congregate there. The community is beyond impressive, and about a month ago we entered the fray. We want...

Goonblog Gives Thanks
I trust everyone had a great Thanksgiving? It’s funny, my buddy JD called me Wednesday afternoon and said something to the effect of, “I liked this holiday more when it was a homecoming.” I couldn’t agree more. Back in the day, we’d start the Monday before, and wouldn’t stop until January 2nd. Then take the customary dry out until the Daytona 500. In my mind, there is...

22 Is Keeping me off the Ledge
I am not going to turn this blog into on the ledge off the ledge dot com. The Bruins are frustrating right now, almost as frustrating as the fact I taped the Senators and Leafs game last night, and inexplicably when I went to watch it this morning, the recording was black. So, I missed the battle of Ontario, and from what I understand, it was a doozy. Figures. Anyway, I want to focus...

Ledge is all yours Carolina
I’m not sure if it’s because all the Carolina fans are jumping off the ledge, and any that haven’t jumped yet are thinking about it now that Cam Ward is hurt, but I see a lot of Bruins fans coming in off the ledge. I wrote earlier in the week about what they need to get done. Saturday night, they did 2 of the three things. Amazing what happens when the Power Play is working...

In off the ledge Please
In off the ledge Bruins fans. In off the ledge. It is way too early to panic. The Bruins will make the playoffs with their current configuration. They play in a fairly week division and can get it done. Look at how they have played over the last three games, and it’s easy to see a club that is working hard, but has a bit of a goal scoring problem. Having said that, here are three...

Matt Carkner has Arrived!
Mighty Matt Carkner was signed to a 2-yr deal by the Ottawa Senators this week, just a few short days after his first-ever NHL goal. He also soundly beat the snot out of Steve Downie on the 15th. To say it’s been an incredible month for the man would be an obvious understatement. I have gotten to know Matt a little - as we’re both residents of Westport, Ontario - and...

I feel good. I feel great. I feel Wonderful.
So, the beloved Bruins are the feel bad story of the year so far. One minute they look like world beaters, the next they look as if Perkins Scholl for the Blind would give them a run for their money. I think what they need is a real good knockdown, drag em out divisional game to get back on the path to glory. I’m not here to talk feel bad though, let’s talk feel good.
I watched...

I Smoked Pot with Charlie Dickens
If I may borrow a bit of old Charlie Dickens, this weekend was like the beginning of “A tale of Two Cities”, “It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.” I don’t want to get overly dramatic here, but it really was the best and worst of the Boston Bruins on opening weekend. I will start at the worst of times.
On Thursday the Bruins opened against The Washington...

Wake up Fans
In about 11 hours, the hibernation ends. That’s right; the beloved Boston Bruins are skating back onto the ice tonight at 7 PM against the dreaded Washington Capitals. Boston and Washington will both come into tonight’s opener with the weight of huge expectations on their shoulders after both lost out in the second round of the playoffs last season. That is the past; I am in...

I’ve Never Even Been to Reno
The NHL season is coming round the bend like the train Johnny Cash sings about in Folsom Prison Blues. I feel like the summer has been my prison, and I am finally free to watch the greatest game on earth. It’s almost here, and per usual, I am as giddy as a little girl.
One thing that has me especially giddy is the trade involving Phil Kessel. Look, Kessel is a fine player, and...

RIP Fred Cusick
Everywhere I turn, there is another story how an inordinate number of celebrities have died in 2009. Some heavy hitters have come down for their last breakfast this year, but no death has saddened me more than the passing of Bruins Broadcasting Legend Fred Cusick.
I remember Fred and Johnny (Pierson) but I grew up with Fred and Derek (Sanderson) as the broadcast team for my beloved...

5 Second Rule
With the opening of NHL training camp less than a week away, I wanted to talk a little bit about fighting and its place in hockey. Below you will find what the NHL deems to be a “good” fight, and a “bad” fight. Meaning, one is spur of the moment, and one is “staged”. I have a problem with the use of the word “staged.” It implies fake to me, and there is nothing fake...

New England Rivalry
I wrote a little while ago how the NHL signing period works. Typically the top flight talent goes, then, people to protect the top flight talent get signed. That’s where we are now, and the Springfield Falcons added a big protector in Kip Brennan yesterday.
Kip was a Lowell Lockmonster back when he still had junior eligibility many moons ago. During his rookie year, he got some...

I’ve Been Had
The Lowell Devils get me every year. Last season they promised they’d be more up tempo, and tough…not your father’s Lowell Devils I believe was the quote. They were up tempo and decent. On Opening Night. This season, it is the press release I saw today where the Devils have signed AHL tough guy Louis Robitaille to a contract.
Louis Robitaille should be no stranger to Lowell...

My Money is in my Other Pants
I am a reasonably smart man. OK, I am kind of smart…..fine…I am a man. Ooooo shiny….Anyway, what I can’t figure out for the life of me, is why the NHL is so vehemently against Jim Balsillie owning a NHL franchise.
Craig Leipold, a man who himself was forced out of NHL ownership in Nashville, only to be inexplicably allowed to buy another NHL team in the Minnesota Wild,...

OK, so now what?
I don’t know where to start. I guess I’ll take it from the top, and we’ll try to make sense of it all. I have questions that need answers, each one more diabolical than the last. Not really, I’ve just always wanted to start a post that way.
Yesterday afternoon I was sitting down for pizza at the usual Friday spot, when my cell phone exploded. Three people texted me to let...

Too Much, Too Soon!
Jay Miller has the same metabolism as his daddy, so usually right after he eats; he needs to be taken out to poop. I get home at 6, feed him and Milan Lucic, and we head out. On tonight’s walk, after Milan made a nice dude we came across a very big Golden Retriever. At least I think it was a retriever. The lady walking him brought him right over, and the Golden got right in Milan’s...

Will Work for Cake
Typically when the NHL free agent period begins teams load up on the guys that help them win by scoring, stopping, or defending. Then as the period goes on, they load up on guys that protect the scorers, stoppers, and defenders by signing the beloved tough guys. These guys are every bit as important to the mix that makes a successful team. Think eggs in a cake mix. Sure, you can...

Free Agent Frenzy
I hope everyone is having a very Happy 4th of July, and Happy (belated) Canada Day to all the Goonsqud in the Great White North. So far free agency has been open for a couple of days. What has developed has been a new GM putting his mark on a franchise, another two or three reasons to hate the Canadiens (as if any were needed); Boston fixed some problems on defense by not signing...

Figured I’d join Before I got Drafted.
Hey, did you hear Michael Jackson died? No ****. I’m not making this up. Good thing the good Reverend Jesse is involved now. Phew! Through it all, the NHL managed to press on and hold their draft in Montreal Friday night. Naturally, I watched the whole thing.
The Islanders had the first pick and took John Tavares. Not a huge shock. Victor Hedman went second, and Matt Duchense 3rd...

What? Was Sheena Easton Busy?
Congratulations to Boston’s Manny Fernandez, Tim Thomas, Zdeno Chara and coach Claude Julien for bringing home the hardware at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas Thursday night. Of course I would have traded any of the awards given for one giant cup, as I’m sure they would have too, but there’s always next year. The exchange between Timmy and Manny was quite hilarious when they were...

I hate to do it….
It’s been killing me to have to write something positive about the New Jersey Devils, but here goes. The Devils have resigned one of my favorite tough guys, Pierre-Luc Letourneau-LeBlond. PL3 as he’s known to his friends was one of the only reasons to watch the perennially dreadful Lowell Devils last season. He and Matthew Corrente appeared to be the only ones willing to drop...

Whoop-de Friggin Do. Penguins Win.
For me, the hockey season ended a month or so ago when the Bruins were defeated. For the rest of the hockey world, it ended Friday night when Pittsburgh beat Detroit in a very exciting game 7. Much like the rest of the hockey world, I had counted the Penguins out after they went down 2-0 to Detroit, but they showed the heart of a champion, rallied around a cause, and got it done...
