I still have hundreds of photos to go through and process from the World Junior Championships this winter. I am slowly getting them sorted, edited and uploaded to various places. My favorites are Flickr and Wikipedia. I don’t do this as a career or anything like that, so this is pretty much as good as [...]
Read moreIs there really a curse?
No, not anything quite so mundane as the Sports Illustrated cover curse, nor even the EA Sports cover curse. The most important question is this – is Marian Hossa cursed?
By all accounts, Hossa is a pretty nice fellow. Sure, he took out Bryan Berard’s eye, but that was a legitimate accident. And he’s also become [...]
Stanley Cup Fever Hits….Tampa?
The Tampa Bay Rays are heading out on a road trip to Canada. And everyone knows – late spring in Canada means one thing – Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Steven Stamkos TTM Success
Carey Price sent back a long-lost TTM success last week, this week brought Steven Stamkos. I sent this custom card out at the beginning of the 2008-09 season, and it got back to me this week. Nice looking signature, and this is a big one off my list of draft picks from 2008.
