We’re down to the final two teams in the last (meaningful) NHL match-up until October (not counting the World Cup of Hockey). How’d it go in the Conference Finals? 1-for-2. That brings this year’s total to 8-for-14 (after going 3-for-8 in the first round and 4-for-4 in the second round). We’re guaranteed an over .500 finish. Yay […]

Not even close. […]
The jerseys that the Washington Capitals are wearing for their upcoming turn at hosting the Winter Classic have been announced. And they are awesome. Don’t believe it if anyone tells you otherwise. There’s a lot of excellent design decisions happening here – a lot more than you might think. Here’s why they are so damn good: Washington […]
As a special post to commemorate the best hockey game, aesthetically speaking, during the regular season, regardless of whose playing, here’s a post counting down the best Winter Classic jerseys. As Jan 2012 marks the 5th anniversary of the Classic, here they are, from #10 to #1. 10. 2012 Philadelphia Flyers I commented on these […]
