As I promised, here is the update to the Pierre Mcguire story that I wrote a few weeks ago. While at the Team Canada Olympic orientation camp Red vs. White game on Thursday, I managed to get Mcguire’s attention for a second and asked him about the incident. Me: “I heard you got punched out in Saskatoon a few weeks ago when you were there for the Juniors thing.” Mcguire: “Where did you hear that?” Me: “A few posts online.” Mcguire: “That’s retarded. I talked to 96 coaches that weekend and no that’s retarded. No.” (uh, coaches? what? who asked about that?

When I heard that Hockey Canada would be holding their orientation camps in Calgary this August, I knew that I would be going down for at least one day. I couldn’t get confirmation about getting into the arena for the daily skates, so I left it to the last day when the mens team held their Red vs. White scrimmage. I drove down from Edmonton to Calgary, and arrived at the Saddledome pretty early. I was tempted to head over to 17th ave to stare at the hot broads in Calgary, I mean get something to eat, but I figured I’d stick around and see if there was anything going on. I lapped the out

Hahaha, gotta throw a hat tip out to @hockeycardshow on Twitter for pointing this one out. Not too safe for the workplace so be careful where you open this one up. And now, Dany Heatley’s true thoughts:

With the 2010 Team Canada camp starting today in Calgary, may as well start the discussion for who is going to captain the Olympic team. TSN listed off the 10 NHL captains that have been invited to camp saying that they all have a shot at the C, but I really don’t think that guys like Morrow have a chance. The two that lead the charge for the C are Jarome Iginla and Sidney Crosby. There has been a lot of discussion on Twitter this morning about who should get the C, with a lot of support for both guys. I think that Crosby would be a good choice, but I know that Iginla is the best choic

Came across the Jersey Database the other day, and figured it would be of interest to a lot of the readers here. The site is packed with jerseys from the NHL (and every other sport for that matter), and it lets you customize and create your own if your favorite isn’t already listed. You can create forum signatures, avatars, iPhone wallpapers (like the Whalers one on the left), and numerous other flash based combinations. So now you can rock your favorite team or player on your iPhone, or show your support in whatever hockey forum you frequent or in your gravatar for commenting on we

Well it took a while for them to nail it down, but the new Team Canada jersey for the 2010 Olympics has been released. I remember being pretty pissed when I heard they had to stop using the old logo, and figured the new jersey would be a big disappointment, but this thing is a beauty! I want one right now! Too bad the olympic store doesn’t have a wish list kind of thing so that all my loyal readers could chip in and buy me one  haha just kidding.

I won the Stanrey Cup! Wait, this is just golf bag. ROR (wow this is bad… but had to do it)

Does anyone else love the idea of the NHL Winter Classic, but absolutely hate that it was played in a baseball diamond last year, and is slated to be again this year? Look at the picture above and you can probably see why I think this is a stupid idea. One of the beauties of hockey is being close to the action, so you can witness the speed and sounds first hand, not have to rely on the jumbo-tron to fill you in. Hockey on a ball diamond takes all that away due to the position of the ice in relation to the stands. Look at those poor guys out in center field! Think they have a good view of wh

I’m not sure if this is new or not, but it’s new to me and I’m going to show it to all of you. Head over to NHL91.com Game 6 and watch this masterpiece. If you played the old NHL hockey games, and have ever watched the Stanley Cup finals, you are going to appreciate this.

Ok if this turns out to be true I’ll have to throw out a major hat tip to the guy who emailed me last night saying that Pierre McGuire got punched out by a TSN cameraman. Apparently while in Saskatoon, and at a random bar on Friday night, with Luke Schenn in the bar too, Pierre McGuire ate a few knuckle sandwiches. I don’t have any more info other than Schenn having words, but not getting physically involved. So with basically no info on how or why this went down, why not make up my own version of events? Pierre: I’m the reason TSN exists. Cameraman: Yeah whatever. Pierre: No ser
