    Offseason Game Thread

    I take generic Allegra in the morning but my game changer is Singulair (prescription; generic is montelukast). It's technically an asthma medication, but it also lowers the body's total IgE level, the antibody we produce in response to allergens, which is like turning down the volume on all of...

    NHL asks Marchand to stop licking people

    I'm adding my two cents way after this story is over -- I was a little busy at the time. Marchand didn't lick opponents during puck battles. He didn't go up to other players to lick them. He licked a guy who repeatedly got in his face to rough and intimidate him. If an opposing player doesn't...

    Khokhlachev Recalled

On the other hand, he gets bumped off the puck really easily. I can't decide if he's an AAAA player or just needs a change...

    Has Sweeney gained your trust?

    I don't trust Sweeney any further than I could throw him.   Anyone on the fence about Rinaldo hasn't watched enough hockey. The guy is so dirty that I don't even want him sitting in our press box as a healthy scratch. He's spent his career going out of his way to injure other players and he...

    Boychuk Traded to the Islanders for Picks

    Oh, I do, do I? Funny, I think a bunch of us disagreed with the decision without giving an alternate course of action and you only called me out. Will you tell me next that I can't criticize a player unless I've played the game? /smiling eyeroll emoji Sent from my iPhone

    Boychuk Traded to the Islanders for Picks

    Our young D isn't ready for this. I think Chiarelli screwed up.
