Mama's dont let your babies grow up to be.....

NUTTY! Wow, "the Nutty Brothers" on National Television. Here they are - as Pete captured them - on Vs. before the AVS defeated the Wild in game # 6 of their series.

NHL draft preview

So, since we were overwhelmed by the NFL Draft this last weekend, here is some NHL draft love. See sure fire # 1 pick Steven Stamkos here.
E5 - check out the first video of the skills goal.

The "X's and O's" of hockey

Sure STEAMER Hockey has two great defensive zone face off plays. We also have an offensive zone face off play that has led to about 60 goals.


But on one special night after some beers at Salty Ritas, Daniel, Eric, and Frank nearly turned the hockey world on it's ear. Check out their masterpiece below. I think the wings used it tonight as a matter of fact!

NHL Goal of 07-08 - Brian Campbell?

Sure this is a bit soft and I may be overselling it since it was against Les Diveres de Montreal, but this goal was sweet and it was on his first night with the Sharks after they acquired him. Reminder that he also has one of the greatest hits in NHL history!

Player Profile - # 13 - Joe White

Name: Joe White

Position: Left Wing

#: 13

Why?: Joe’s lucky number, and an appreciation for Bill Guerin

Nickname: Tripod, Wicked Whitey, The Pylon, Lumbering Left Wing

How we know him: He is the veritable trunk of the Steamer family tree.

One Scout Said: Tremendous shot. He masks one of the best wrist shots in the league behind a self-described “lumbering” skating style. He is very effective by moving to open space and setting up for one-timers that frequently find the back of the net. Also is an underrated penalty killer because of his strong clears out of the zone and good positioning. Baywatch-like on breakaways.

Game reminds you of: Glen Murray, RW, Boston; Brett Hull, RW, retired.

Best line on the ice: "You need to be this tall to ride the tilt-a-whirl” to one of the 5’6” ‘enforcers’ that seem to frequent the C-4 division.

You may not have known: Second place on the all-time Steamer goal scoring list. Spent his early years in the suburbs south of Boston and was subsequently treated for an apparent speech impediment upon his arrival to Colorado. Now manages an office of Denver parole officers – a potential conflict of interest with the current Steamer roster. Has a soft spot for quiche and haunting ballads by Sarah McLachlan.

Thanks for: Being the braintrust, the backbone, and sometimes financier of Steamer Hockey. The self-deprecating sense of humor (the nicknames above would seem a little cruel if not coined by Joe himself). Organizing everything and trying to keep the experience fun for everyone. Always being up for a beer after games and sharing a limitless vault of useless hockey knowledge.

Mocking of NHL teams

I really liked this one.......

A chip off the old........bitterman?

I imagine most of you saw this video of the melee involving the Canadian Junior team that Patrick Roy coaches. Roy and his son were suspended after the melee.

For my two cents - this is ridiculous and the suspension was totally warranted. I guess his son is unaware of the code that says you don't keep hitting a guy when his head is near the ice - especially when you jumped him! Notice the classy gesture while heading off the ice near the end of the donnybrook. The untold part is that the punching bag is one of the best goalies in the QMJHL and Roy's son is something of a sieve as indicated in this ESPN article.

That being said, if a fracas has ensued and you are standing there and someone comes skating towards you, go ahead and plan on fighting.

Congratulations....

...to the Winter season scoring leader # 47 - Jason "Almond Joy" Ketchum. Despite wearing the hat of the hated Canadiens to several games, he had another impressive outing leading the team in every category except assists (E5 had 11) and game winning goals (Ditka had 3). AJK with 30 points on 21 goals and 9 assists, including 5 hat tricks - in 12 games. Nicely done!

Hockey quotes - # 8

The former Boston Bruin forward (who - as seen here - went into the stands at Madison Square Garden), and current Colorado Avalanche color analyst, Peter McNab: "I don't care who you are, or at what level you play, everyone remembers their first goal!"

To follow up on Peter McNab's thoughts, you can see one of our all-time favorite DU Pioneers, Conor James, from earlier this year scoring his first NHL goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins - right here - go to the second goal in the 3rd period.

Second Hat Trick of the season?????

Holy Schnikeys!

Sgt. Schultz with his first career hat trick in a 9-2 win in week # 2. Congrats to The Anomaly!

First goal of the spring season.....

.....goes to The Young Jedi - getting off the schnide with a vengeance. Nice work E5 with two goals in an 8-0 win!

First hat trick of the season.....

.....and apparently the first hangover of the season, came from this confused young Clark Kent look-alike from Michigan. Nice work Bada Bing!

Welcome to Fenway!

You can't make this stuff up. Check out the name of the girl in this link attacked by a red-tailed hawk at Fenway today.

Combinations - part 9 - The Beanpot Line?

Speaking of chowderheads, this sexy trifecta thinks that Jack Pahkah is a god, Tom Brady is "an unstoppable fohce of nay-cha'", and that Big Papi is wicked pissah!

Keeping the tournament theme....

I think "The Best Damn Sport Show, Period" totally sucks. And although it is a mockery, of a travesty, of a sham, that they left Jessica Alba off of this (literally) Sweet Sixteen, this bracket is a cool idea loaded with hotties!
