Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Rookie rookie, who gets the cookie?  Brandon, that’s who.  Brandon’s the big winner.  Brandon wins.  Brandon wins because Brandon can put the biscuit in the basket.  Chicks may dig the longball, but us rink rats dig the scorers.  They’re the ones who make us come back for morers.  Last night, Brandon Yip came back for more.  Last night, Brandon Yip came back for more  with two goals in Colorado’s  5-2 win over St. Louis.  Hooray Brandon Yip!  At this point in time, Yip leads all rookies with 11 goals (in 22 games) since December 19.  That’s when he made his NHL debut.  That’s when he reached for his revolver.  That’s when it all got blown away.  That’s when Yip blew us all away with his big brain.  Look at the big brain on Brad.  That’s right, Yip is a thinking-man’s offensive player.  He reads plays with exceptional ease and is often seen intercepting passes or causing turnovers in the offensive zone.  He’s shot is highly accurate and he keeps goaltenders guessing.  And oh ya, he can put the biscuit in the basket.

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!

Nobody does it better; makes me feel sad for the rest.  Nobody does it half as good as you.  Baby, you’re the best.  -Carly Simon

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  What’s this?  Three Ovechkin posts in four days?  Well, when you done do what this cat is done doing, you get three post in three days.  What this cat done did yesterday was notch his first regular season hat trick in almost a year.  What this cat done did was notch his first regular season hat trick in almost a year, leading the Caps to a come-from-behind victory that extended their winning streak to 14 games and ended any jibber-jabber about who is hockey’s best.  Might as well face it, this is Alexander Ovechkin’s world and everybody else is just skating in it.       Read More »

 I don’t mind you hangin’ out and talkin’ in your sleep.  It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, aAs long as it was deep, yeah.  I guess you’re just what I needed.  -The Cars

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Hockey Krishnas rejoice!  Hockey, hockey!  Krishna, Krishna!  That’s right, hockey talk.  Toronto Maple Leafs talk.  Jean-Sebastian Giguere talk.  There was a time Jean-Sebastian Giguere was at the top of his game.  The top cat.  He was a chief, he was a king, but above everything, he was the most tip top, Top Cat!  Top Cat in the playoffs.  Top Cat in the 2003 playoffs.  Top Cat, delivering one of the greatest playoff performances in NHL history as he helped lead the Mighty Ducks on a Cinderella run to their first Stanley Cup Finals.  Hooray Jean-Sebastian Giguere!             Read More »

Three is a magic number.  Yes it is, it’s a magic number.  Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity, you get three as a magic number.  -Schoolhouse Rock

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  The Boston Celtics had Bird, Parrish and McHale.  The  Montreal Canadiens had Larry Robinson, Serge Savard and Guy Lapointe.  Meet the new big three.  If you wanna know the real deal about the three, well let me tell you, they’re triple trouble ya’ll.  I’m gonna bring you up to speed.  I’m gonna bring you up to speed about the Washington Capitals’ top three scorers: Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin and Nicklas Backstrom.  Last night, all three of those cats put the biscuit in the basket in the Caps’ 5-2 victory over the Thrashers.  Hooray capitals! You know what that makes those three cats?  Huh?  Do ya?  That makes them the highest scoring trio of all NHL teammates.  That’s what that makes them.  That makes them a good bet to to set the NHL record for consecutive wins.  The Capitals have now won 13 straight, four short of matching the longest run in NHL history.  They have done that by being carried squarely on the backs of the new Big Three.

Drivin’ by, wavin’ my fist.  Makin’ ‘em mad when I’m goin’ like this.  Top gun, never on the run.  They know not to come ’cause they all get some.  -Public Enemy

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  By now we all should know this is Alexander Ovechkin’s world and everybody else is just skating in it.  He cannot be stopped.  Heck, he cannot even be contained.  Couldn’t be contained last night.  Two big last night.  The second one doing his best Major Zamora imitation then flying to the outside while nut-megging Michal Rozsival.  Yowza!  Ovechkin, who is 24 years, 141 days young,  just reached the 500-point plateau in his 373rd regular-season game.  Ovie!  Ovie!  Ovie Oi!  Oi! Oi  Oy veh!  Ovechkin is now the youngest player to reach that milestone since Jaromir Jagr reached that milestone nine days after his 24th birthday.  And just so you know, Ovie needed fewer games to score 500 points than any player since Eric Lindros.  How about that?        Read More »

Now you always say that you want to be free.  But you’ll come running back.  You’ll come running back.  You’ll come running back to me.  Oh, time is on my side, yes it is.  -Rolling Stones

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  The Losties weren’t the only ones last night traveling around in time.  Mike Modano of the Dallas Stars seemed to be doing a little looping himself.  Rememeber when Ben Linus said to Richard Alpert, ”You do remember birthdays, don’t you?”  Well, I don’t think Modano does.  Last night, Mike Modano had the game-winner winner chicken dinner against the Wild.  Hooray Mike Modano!  The all-time goal-scoring and points leader amongst American-born players in the NHL has now scored seven goals over his last ten games.  How about that?  How about this?  That’s as many goals as Modano scored in the last 68 games he played before he rediscovered his scoring touch three weeks ago.  Like Juliette, it looks like Modano is being wooed by Mittelos Bioscience.

We on fire, up in here, it’s burning hot.  We on fire, Shorty take it off if it get to hot, up in this spot.  We on fire.  -Lloyd Banks

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Hockey Krishnas rejoice!  Hockey hockey!  Krishna Krishna!  That’s right, hockey talk.  Nashville Predators talk.  Patric Hornqvist talk.  He’s on fire.  En flambe!  Or in Patric’s native toungue:  En brasa!  Yes rink rats, the guy who was once hockey’s Mr. Irrelevant is now very relevant.  Very relevant indeed.  Hornqvist was drafted by the Nashville Predators with the very last pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.  I betcha some folks are kicking themselves now.  Now, Patric is scoring some goals.  A gaggle of goals.  Just last night, he scored two goals for Nashville in its 4-2 win against the Hurricanes.  Hooray Patric Hornqvist!  Just so you know, those two goals give him a league-high total of 10 goals (in 12 games) since December 14.  What makes this even more special is the fact that When his current hot streak began, Hornqvist had scored only eight goals in 59 games in his two seasons in the NHL.  How about that?  How about Patric Hornqvist?

Here’s an oldie but a goodie.  Just in time for X-mas:

Peace out homies. Six Two and even!

(VS. 8PM ET)  Hockey Krishnas rejoice!  Hockey hockey!  Krishna Krishna!  Oh sweet lord!  This game is for number one in the West.  This game is for number one in our hearts.  The Sharks are coming fresh off a  4-2 win at Dallas behind captain  Patrick Marleau’s two goals.  Just so you know, that was Marleau’s sixth multiple-goal game this season, tying him with Sidney Crosby for second-most in the NHL, behind Alex Ovechkin’s eight.  How about that?  How about this:  The Blackhawks aim to complete a perfect five-game homestand.  They  have notched three shutouts during this four-game winning streak. They have also won five in a row and 13 of their last 14 in the Windy City.  Get your popcorn ready! 

Peace out homies!  Six Two and Even!

Throw another round. Sick of the ride.  It’s suicide for the other side of town when I find a way to shut ‘em down.  Shet ‘em down.  Shut ‘em, shut ‘em down.  -Public Enemy

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  By now you all know what Martin Brodeur has done did.  You all know Martin Brodeur robbed Evgeni Malkin with a glove save in the last minute at the Igloo last night.  You know that was the 35th and final save of his 104th regular-season shutout.  You all know that broke Terry Sawchuk’s N.H.L. career mark and Brodeur is now the shutout king.  All hail the king!  Is there any goalie on the radar screen that could some day challenge Martin Brodeur’s wins and shutout record?  Not that I can see.  No other active goaltender has even half as many total shutouts as Brodeur.  Chris Osgood is second with 50.  He ain’t gonna make it.  I don’t know if anyone will.

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!
