NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Beard in January!

Check out Brent Burns' new mug shot. it's not so much the picture, but how the media is running with it that cracks me up.

It's still funny to me that playoff beards, post game handshakes, and Canadians are the gist of what many still believe hockey is all about.

Here's to the new (shortened) NHL season.

NHL : 48 games in 99 days!

Wow!
An NHL game for your favorite team, on average,  every other night. (48 games in 99 days)
Whoa!!
I wonder if players will be burnt out come playoff time?
Actually, isn't a game every other night what they play in the playoffs?
So, in many ways, the shortened regular season is really like a playoff environment ALL season.
I'm psyched.

The NHL Is Back !

Thankfully, the NHL is back this year albeit 3 months later. However, I for one, think the shortened season has a lot to offer. I remember the last shortened season, just 8 years ago I believe, and the atmosphere was intense from the beginning almost like a Stanley Cup playoff atmosphere. Since most of the players have been playing in leagues throughout the world, I don't anticipate a lot of rust on the players parts. It should be fun.

NHL Hockey, Steve Moore, Justice, Todd Bertuzzi trial

A few nights ago marked the 7th anniversary of Steve Moore's last night of professional hockey.

Still no official trial date is set for the civil suit and there is still no judge yet assigned to the case. But there is a belief circulating that a trial is near, and justice on its way for Steve Moore, the Harvard graduate who had his professional hockey career cut short after a viscous assault by an opponant, Todd Bertuzzi.

Moore's case is rumored to be the single largest civil suit involving a professional athlete in the Canadian legal history, and with each passing year, the price goes up.

This will likely go on for years and years as Moore, with a laundry list of lawyers, is suing Bertuzzi and Orca Bay Ltd., the former owner of the Vancouver Canucks.

Geoffrey Adair will represent Bertuzzi who has blamed his coach at the time of the incident, Marc Crawford, who is now the head coach in Dallas. Crawford is represented by Jessica Kimmel. Orca Bay is represented by Allan D'Silva.

Counter suits have already been filed. The lawyers are doing their thing.

In one of the depositions, Bertuzzi apparently refused to answer 63 different questions!

Although Moore continues to go through tests year-in and year-out, it is hard to substantiate how much the assault and injuries have affected him and his life. Two things are for certain, he played his last professional game that night, seven years ago, and 7 or 8 different video cameras caught the assault at different angles.

This story will surely capture the NHL headlines as well as that of the sports world in general this year and beyond as a trial and settlement are ultimately reached. With an all-star team of lawyers, Steve Moore's team is playing for a big pay day and the rumors are that the amount Moore's camp is looking for is gigantic.

Stay tuned...

Avon Old Farms Hockey

This year I attended the 28th annual Avon Old Farms Christmas Classic in Avon, Connecticut.

All of the games were great as the tournament showcased some of the best talent in New England Prep school Hockey.

If you are a hockey fan, I highly recommend attending this event next year. You will get the opporunity to see some of college hockey's next group of stars before the make the next jump in their careers. Maybe even an NHL'er or two. Hall-Of-Famer, Brian Leetch, played in this tournament when he was in highschool.
