THE INSTIGATOR - Burrows is a Coward!

PODCAST - THE INSTIGATOR - Episode 8   Alex Burrows of the Ottawa Senators jumped New Jersey Devils star forward Taylor Hall after Hall laid Burrows out with a legal check. While on top of Hall, Burrows proceeded to knee Hall in the head multiple times. It is another black eye on the league, and I am not sure why the league or its players put up with cowards like Burrows.

A suggestion for the All-Star Game

Original post.   While the series "Website - A Page A Day" is being delayed by all kinds of things, here comes a short post on a different topic. Last year, in my opinion, the accuracy shooting competition which included shooting the pack from the goal line into a small hole was, in my opinion a total failure. Mike Smith's spectacular score across the rink did the injustice and provided a false impression this skill contest was any good. Otherwise, the competition was not exciting t

Original Post   Hello, hockeyforums.net, from Mr. Van Winkle...This prolonged silence was caused by a lot of factors, led, naturally, by REAL LIFE™. But I also made a fundamental mistake in the infrastructure setup, and so I had to roll out a hastily patched setup when the season was starting; I then went back and worked on this infrastructure fix, the work which continued over three months and is now complete! Unfortunately, all this work will not be visible to the visitor, with possi

Play It Forward Holds 1st Volleyball Tournament

On September 9, 2017 the Play It Forward Foundation hosted their first event under their new sports model where athletes have the ability to compete in events and raise money for a charity of their choice.  The volleyball tournament took place at Bungs Tavern in Burlington, NJ.    Teams began flooding in early, the mood was quite light as players, and staff conversed together and casually spoke of their eagerness to start play at 10 am.  After a brief speech by Play It Forward Presiden

The Western Conference

In this post, I want to talk about the Western Conference which is the Conference of Edmonton and Calgary.   The Western Conference is a powerful conference that has a lot of great and powerful teams which are contenders for winning the Stanley Cup. I believe that the entertaining matches will be from this conference again next season. In my opinion, this Conference is stronger than the eastern Conference, and you could see it with the playoffs series last season which was, in

Eastern Conference next year

In this post, I would like to talk about how I see the eastern conference which Toronto is part of it.   As I was reading the writers and saw the trades that the teams did and also the players that they lost to Vegas team. I think that the conference is more open than it was last year. Don't get me wrong; I still believe that Pittsburgh, Washington, Rangers, and Columbus have amazing teams and I predict that they will be at the top of the conference and I won't be surprised if they wil

Vancouver Canucks

In this post, I will talk about Vancouver that is a Canadian team that was at the top of the league until this year. They reached the Finals seven years ago but lost to Boston in seven games. Vancouver has been building itself on a roster that based on the Sundin brothers, they are great players and having an incredible career. They are from Sweden that emerges to be an excellent hockey team that is in the top of the world stage. They achieved a lot of milestones in their careers and had high

Ottawa Senators

In this post, I will write about Ottawa Senators which is the capital of Canada and has a great hockey team. In the last couple of season Ottawa was at the top of the league, and this year they have a fantastic year. This year Ottawa finished second in the Metropolitan division and not far from Montreal, there was a part in the season that she was very close and only two points separated them. But then they had a series of injuries to key players that caused them to lose some games, and it wa

Flyers Rookie Camp Part II

As Flyers Prospect camp ended last week, we continue to look at the Flyers prospects in Part II of our series. First, Nolan Patrick took to the ice on Monday. Well, that’s not the exciting news. The real exciting news is that the Flyers signed him to his three-year entry-level deal. He’ll earn $925,000 per season, but his contract does have bonuses. Those bonuses will count against the salary cap once he hits them. He’ll continue to skate throughout the summer, once his facial infection is heale

Roenick's Message to Giroux

Many in the hockey world are quite familiar with Jeremy Roenick. Before he was an outspoken analyst on NBCsports, “JR” played 20 seasons in the Nation Hockey League, racking up 513 goals and 1,216 points. No matter what team he played for, he played with not only his heart, but with his upbeat personality as well. Since retiring in 2009, Roenick has spent time making controversial statements about hockey teams and their players. JR’s rhetoric’s have been questioned by many because of one simple

He is also one of the amazing rookies in the team that only 19 years old and have incredible talent and potential.   He has amazing abilities and skills which he implements them on the ice to help Toronto to reach their achievements. He has amazing skating skills, and he plays forward for Toronto and usually Babcock putting him on th

Canadian Hockey Team

In this post, I want to talk about the Canadian Olympic team and my thought about it. As it is the team of the country that my father was born and his family. Also, I have a Canadian citizenship and passport, and I also feel as a Canadian because they way that I raised.   I started to follow the Canadian Olympic team the same time that I was starting to follow the hockey. It is part of me and my love for all the Canadian hockey, and it's an important part of my being a Canadi

Auston Matthew

In this post, I want to talk about Auston Matthews who is a rookie that came this year to the league. He is on the Toronto Maple Leafs, taking the league by storm and is only 19 years old. Even though he is an American, I will write a blog for him because he plays for Toronto, that is my team for life.This post is probably not the only one that I will write about him in his career. There will be more in the future.   He has an incredible skating skill and abilities. He has an

My Passion for Hockey

In this post, I will talk about my passion for hockey that came from my father and was part of the Canadian tradition that I inherited from him. I grew up on Christmas and all the Canadian holidays and traditions.   Hockey is a sport that I started to watch around 15 years ago, and I was addicted to it from the outset. I was and will always be a Toronto Maple Leafs fan as it's my father’s favorite team growing up and he passed the love for them to me.

Connor McDavid

In this post, I will talk about Connor McDavid who is a Canadian player in his second year that plays at Edmonton Oilers and is taking the league by storm. His numbers are incredible for a player in his second year and are leading in almost all categories. He is leading the league in assists and points. It is probably not the only blog that I will write about him in his career. There will be more in the future.   I see him play in Edmonton and I admire his skill and abilities

Sydney Crosby

I want to talk in this post about Sydney Crosby that in my opinion is the best player in Hockey today and is a Canadian, most of the analysts are comparing him to Wayne Gretzky that is the greatest player in Canada Hockey.   Crosby reached this a week a major and significant milestone of 1,000 points that only the largest players in the game did, most of them are in the Hall of Fame. He did it only in 757 games that are faster than a lot of than a lot of legends of the match had. It is

Toronto Rookies and the 5 Years plan

This post is talking about The rookies of the Toronto maple leafs that taking the league by storm, during this incredible year they broke the record for rookies in a single season that held since the 60s, also to what my opinion on the future of the team. Toronto has a core of great and talented young rookies that most of them are barely 20 years old, rookies such as Austin Matthews, Mitchel Marner,  Morgan Rielly, Zach Hyman, Nikita Zaitsev. I feel that I witness the birth of young and tal
