Nothing Makes Sense Anymore
So I have a confession to make. Remember that time when I mentioned that I won’t watch a single Redskins game? Welp, I did watch some Redskins this year.

Happy New Year everyone!!! Before I start talking about this week’s post, I want to thank everyone for reading all the articles I have written within the last year.

Week 10 and 11 of the Nerdy 30: Roasted Duck and Charging Up
Now that Boxing Day is upon us, not only does NHL hockey return to our television screens but the start of the World Junior Championships begins in Finland.

Week 9 of the Nerdy 30: Oil-canned and Dancing with the Devils
This NHL seasons, plenty of changes have been happening. Three-on-three overtime has been a thrilling success, yet the coach’s challenge has been a complete blunder with it’s lack of clarity. One change that might be ignored by fans and media, could be that the Eastern Conference finally might be better than the West. If the […]
Week 8 of the Nerdy 30: Back in Black(hawks) and Suited Up Penguins
Before we get to this week’s power rankings, I want to talk about Sidney Crosby and his apparent “riff” with team owner and former Penguins great Mario Lemieux. Like everything in the NHL, because every employee working in the league is the most tight-lipped than any sport in the NHL, it is almost guaranteed that […]
Weeks 6 & 7 of the Nerdy 30: Burned Out Flames and Predators Looking For Prey
Even though I missed posting last week’s edition of the Nerdy 30, I was able to tweet out how the teams would have ranked. Feel free to take a look at them for historical reference. Until then, almost every team has played 20 games this NHL season. That means that we have passed another […]
The Roundhouse Kick That Changed Everything
I felt it when Zinadene Zidane head-butted Marco Materazzi. I felt it when LeBron James decided to leave Cleveland to play for the Miami Heat. I felt it when the Boston Red Sox came back in the bottom of the ninth inning in game four of the 2004 ALCS. I felt it when the Chicago […]

Week 4 of the Nerdy 30: Blashill’s Blemishes and Tylie Benguin Reigns Supreme
Finally, November is upon us and the advanced numbers are getting clearer as we progress further upon the season. Unless you are in DC, the weather hopefully will be showing signs of getting colder and we finally get to enjoy the harshness of the regular season. Sadly, we already have been experiencing some of that […]

As we get close to Halloween, us hockey fans are really happy to see the game that we love back on the ice.
