I don’t want to make this about politics, because that generally gets people all pissy, but I suppose we are going to have [...]

For $2,999,995, which represents a minor victory for the Calgary Flames.
Very minor.
Going into contract negotiations, Ian White wanted a salary of $3 million.  The Flames wanted to keep the number under $3 million.  On paper, at least the Flames won that battle.  In reality, White got the salary he wanted.  This seems very petty to [...]

As promised, here are some pictures from Score.  Base set is going old school, but the inserts that they have shown off so far, have a much more modern design.  You gotta love a Sidney Crosby Team Canada card.  The Rookie Cards…..well, they don’t really fit.

ITG has released much-anticipated and long-awaited information about their Update set for 09/10 Heroes and Prospects.   Each set will cost $39.95 and will have one autographed card and one game used memorabilia card.  This is an upgrade from the usual either / or that ITG has done with this set, and they have done this [...]

No, nothing so unimportant as free agency or anything like that.  Sportchek was having a buy 1, get 1 50% off sale on licensed merchandise today, so I snagged myself a couple of jerseys.
I picked up one of the green Team Canada jerseys from the World Juniors that were held in Saskatchewan.  Like the one [...]

If you have been checking out the recent previews of Panini’s 2010-11 Certified Hockey product, you have probably seen this card floating around the internet.
