The Washington Capitals media staff was recently awarded their 4th straight Dick Dillman award, voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association. For those that don’t know much about this accolade it goes to the staff members of the team that has the Best Media Relations in the NHL. It’s named after the late Dick ...
The Hockey Gods have quite the sense of humor. I was helping my aunt yesterday, while avoiding writing this article, clean out the shed when I stumbled upon a Chicago Blackhawks hockey puck. For those of you that don’t know I’m the only hockey fan in my entire family so finding this was odd and ...

Sharks fans don’t hit the eject button just yet. If you thought this was going to be a cakewalk then I feel the need to remind you that San Jose is playing the #2 seed in the West. The Hawks are not some push over team they’ve battled to get where they are just like ...

This has been the most exciting and stressful playoffs that I can remember. From game one to tonight’s devastating game seven loss by the Washington Capitals, it just shows you that there is no guarantee in the post season. My personal thought is that the Presidents Trophy is some how cursed, insert last years recipient ...

Their mission statement: “Children Mending Hearts is a global arts exchange between at-risk children in America and children living in conflict zones that educates, empowers ...
Before San Jose took on Colorado I was asked by http://www.viewfrommyseats.com/ to do a first round prediction on the Sharks: http://bit.ly/cOjWke . If you just clicked on the link and read my analysis you may be hearing the Twilight Zone music in your head after watching last nights game. To calm your nerves folks I ...
It’s no secret that the San Jose Sharks and the Washington Capitals are playoff and cup favorites this year.
