Cards On Ice

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.

The 2010 NHL Awards are going to hit the airwaves tonight from the hockey hotbed of Las Vegas, Nevada.  I am going to make my predictions for award winners here, and then spend tomorrow trying to justify them.  There are a bunch of newfangled awards the NHL has introduced in order to flesh out the [...]

When you were like 5 years old?
In front of 20 thousand people?
By a multi-millionaire?
I have no idea what Alexander Ovechkin was thinking tonight, but it wasn’t good.

Seems like a bit of a dick move to me, but to be fair – Montreal’s game day staff needs to re-examine the wisdom of having those kids stand [...]

From the pictures, these things look well [...]

The old carpenter’s saying is ‘Measure twice, cut once.’  If you want to extrapolate that out to everyday life, a good one would be ‘Think twice, speak once.’
Alexander Ovechkin should take note.  TSN.ca has a story up where Ovechkin says that this suspension (two games for a knee on knee hit to Carolina’s Tim Gleason) [...]

Two big stories from last night’s games.  Only one of them coming from where you might think.  Washington is always a good bet for hockey storylines.  A Florida  / Atlanta tilt?  Much less likely.
Starting out with Alexander Ovechkin’s hit on Tim Gleason.  As I write this, I don’t know how badly Ovechkin is injured.  Gleason [...]
