If this was to be foretold at the beginning of 2011, I am sure it would have been a surprise. But with Phoenix staying put, the owners for the Atlanta Thrashers being a bunch of pansies, oh not to mentions Man of many hats and one of the worst NHL team officials Don Waddell STILL […]

Before I post the video of Mikael Granlund’s amazing goal at the world tournament I want to pass along some devastating news. This evening I saw the story about Derek Boogaard found dead in his home, at this time no mention of the cause of his death. He may have been a goon and he […]
