Patrick Kane: Now We Know Who You Are
August 10, 2009 by
HockeyDirt
| Comments
Partick Kane is a public relations genius. It was obvious to Kane that he had an image problem - he simply wasn't well known outside of a small group of puck-obsessed hockey fans who saw him as one of the league's rising young stars. Beyond this Kane was a nobody...

We've all grown accustomed to watching professional athletes sabotage their own reputations through a combination of selfishness & stupidity. Think of Plaxico Burress, Rogers Clemens or Stephon Marbury. Now you can add Dany Heatley to the list. Anyone living outside of Ottawa...

Oxonomics is a terrific blog written by a group of Oxford graduate students. A recent posting, Why do footballers dive?, discusses the tendency of soccer players to dive in an effort to draw fouls. The author asks "Why do footballers dive more than other sportsmen...
Sarah Palin: Hockey Mom (just don't call her a beauty queen)

by Tim O'Connor
Like most Canadians, the news that Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is, of all things, a hockey mom caught me off guard.
At first blush it seems a little odd that Palin is being branded by her own party as a "hockey mom" when...

Searching for Mike Fisher

HockeyDirt
| Comments
If the Ottawa Senators are going to return to the form that had pundits labelling them bona fide Cup contenders they are going to need more from Mike Fisher.
Now, before the legions of Fisher fans out there jump down my throat screaming that Fisher is the heart and soul...
Saluting the Captains

HockeyDirt
| Comments
The announcement that Roberto Luongo would be the Captain of the Vancouver Canucks for 2008-09 got me thinking about the current slate of NHL captains. In recent days several teams have announced their new captains (view list of teams/captains here), although three of the NHL'...
Uniwatch Checks Out the NHL

HockeyDirt
| Comments
Uniwatch thinks the Thrashers have set a "new standard for bad design with their new alternate uniform."
Not really. As bad as it is, the Thrashers have nothing on the Canucks "flying V" jersey from the late 70's.

SI's Jim Kelley has grown weary of the "Todd Bertuzzi is a good guy" stories that crop up in every city Bertuzzi lands in. Kelley thinks Bertuzzi and the NHL should continue to pay a price until Steve Moore has his day in court. (Todd Bertuzzi's '...

Alexei Yashin. That's the first thing that entered my mind when the new broke that Dany Heatley is seeking a trade from the Ottawa Senators. For those who have forgotten, Yashin held out for a new contract not once, not twice, but three times before the Senators were finally able...
Shame on Crosby

HockeyDirt

Shame on Sidney Crosby and a few other members of the Pittsburg Penguins for disrespecting the Red Wings. I guess Lebron James is their role model. After being defeated by the Penguins in game 7, the Red Wings gave the Pens a few minutes to celebrate the win. The Wings...

Chaka Khan? Really? Chaka Khan is the star the NHL picks to "headline" their 2009 awards show? The same Chaka Khan whose biggest hit - "Tell Me Something Good" - came in 1974, the year Denis Potvin won the Calder? Robin Thicke? Why didn't the NHL put in a call...
