http://melroserocks.blogspot.com/ - www.BarryMelroseRocks.com After all, nothing says hockey like a thoroughly greased mullet. :::::::::::::::::: Analysis, rambling and rants from around the NHL (from a guy who is NOT Barry Melrose).
Maybe it's the liberal media's fault. Maybe it's all in our heads. Maybe it's Urkel's fault. No one is really sure at this point. But for some reason, the Pittsburgh Penguins' chances this season have become a contentious point around the blogosphere. Let's recap real quick. This all started when the boys at Pensblog got a little agitated about something Sportsnet's Mike Toth ...

Despite the fact that Stan Fischler has had
a blog on MSG for quite some time and
has written for the New England Hockey Journal, I, for one, have never been quite convinced that Stan has actually been writing the articles. I always figured ...
In lieu of an ice girl , here is a Vice Presidential nominee Via Wonkette Outside of hockey, I find no redeeming value to winter. It's cold, generally dreary and cold, especially here in the Twin Cities. My ultimate goal in life is to move somewhere warm but with a hockey team. I'm looking at you Dallas, Tampa or Phoenix. Mostly, my awesome job is what keeps me here (my family ...

So I'm not really sure what Blogger's new 'followers' thing is all about. In fact, I think that's a bit of a demeaning name to a blog's readers. I think of you more as leaders. Heck, if it wasn't for you, I'd just be some crazy guy letting his multiple personalities run wild on the internet. But anyway, if you look to your left there's a new little gadget over there (it's not like we ...

Not sure till when and not sure why, but sorry to disappoint anyone who was looking forward to it. Or maybe it was just me. But anyway, it won't be today. Hopefully somewhere down the road.

What Mats Sundin probably looks like by now.
It's time once again to power rank things that
really have no bearing on anything important. Today's topic: Selfishly Indecisive Old Coots in Sports! (You know you love them.) So you know who ...
Darryl Sittler Robot seen posing with Todd Bertuzzi and Bertuzzi's sun earlier today. No one was harmed during the presser. Mike Sturk/AP With coach Darryl Sutter on vacation in Honolulu this week, sources say that the Calgary Flames employed a robot to pose as their coach during a press conference today. At the Saddledome, the Flames introduced the teams' five newest ...

The title basically says it all. Tomorrow at
FanHouse , we'll be chatting with new Islanders' head
coach Scott Gordon. It starts at 1 PM, which means you should wait to take your lunch break a little bit later. Come prepared with questions and ...

Two announcements regarding TV deals came out of
the Southeast division this week and neither of them
featured good news. Well one of them did -- sort of. The Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers both announced the basics of their local ...

Dear readers, an unjust travesty has befallen us
(that will be the wordiest sentence this week, promise).
Our good friend JR has been wronged and we must stand up and defend him. We must stand up for those we care about we they are pimped ...

If you don't root for the Caps, you aren't a patriot Last week, Kevin highlighted the contentious battle between Ted Leonsis and Ross McKeon over the idea of contraction in the NHL. I think at this point, the NHL is doing just fine (overall profit in the NHL is greater than that in the NBA), so I think contraction is moot, but I'm here to defend the south, the target of McKeon's ...

Ooh yeah, baby, that's gratuitous Japers' Rink Every time I post here, it seems, loyal commentor BlackCapricorn laments the lack of ice girls in my posts. Far be it from me to leave a bad impression, so here is a picture of some girl on the Florida Panthers' ice girls team. Frankly, what else can you do in southern Florida with a pair of skates? If you have anything to say to ...

After a torturous 36 hours without internet, the IT department has finally gotten off it's ass. I'm back online so expect things to pick up. Apologies for the lack of posting. Angry emails to the people who killed my internet are, of course, encouraged. Ryan will be checking in tomorrow, so enjoy his company. I'll see you on Friday!

What's up nerds? I hope you've been getting a nice tan from your computer screens. I've been out on the beach in sunny California and am tanner than Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder. It's amazing. Doesn't have the same effect as a computer monitor though. HA! Now you all think I'm going to be a commentator when I retire. You're all groveling at my feet, asking me to save the hockey ...

(C) New York Islanders So the Islanders have this fan, one of the attention seeking eccentric types, who always has some sign at the games. He must work for some company that makes signs. That or he wastes an awful lot of money getting these things printed up. Anywho, he appeared on the Islanders' website this morning along side the NHL's newest head coach, Scott Gordon. The sign ...

Observe, the wild Lightning fans in their natural habitat! So Barry Melrose is the new coach of Tampa Bay and he's a bit of an eccentric, walks to his own beat, etc. You know this. What you might not have known is that the locals down in Tampa are STILL pissed at him for things he may or may not have said four years ago. Per Kukla per the Sporting News : SN: What was the ...

It's getting close to the beginning of school,
which coincides nicely with my new role here. Mostly,
the first day of school is a waste of time in which syllabuses are passed out, and then you go around the room and introduce yourself, give ...

On Saturday I told you about a cute
little war of words (no Tom Cruise) between Caps'
owner Ted Leonsis and Yahoo!'s Ross McKeon. It was the usual media/owner banter. You know how that is. One guy goes 'your team should be contracted' and the other retorts with 'why do you want children to starve?' Yawn. Usually feuds like this fade away. Either the owner has better things to do ...

I've done a disservice to you, dear reader. There's been a large proverbial elephant in the room for about a week now, and I have yet to address it. Some of you couldn't give a crap about said elephant, and that's fine. But I know some of you expect me to explain said elephant and to those of you, I apologize. Not sure what I'm talking about? As Dilligent Reader WufPirate noticed last week , ...
