What makes you jump up out of your seat?

Hey, beauties!


Today I'm going to be talking about one of my favourite things about the good ol' hockey game........GOALTENDING! Now, I know this isn't as exciting for most hockey players cause those guys are all about the wheel, snipe, celly life, but as a goalie I have a very special place win my heart for goaltending. Not just because I AM a goalie, mostly because when you watch a save in slow motion its almost like an art.


Sorry for getting so artsy, fartsy on you guys.... I won't do it again.... this week.

The message I'm trying to get across is that goaltending is by far the hardest position in hockey...In my opinion. Most of my friends who are goalies usually have a favourite NHL team but they also have a favourite goalie who may or may not play for that specific team. For example my favourite team is the Winnipeg Jets, but my favourite goalie is Florida Panthers goalie, Roberto Luongo.


The fondest memories I have of Luongo was his glove save off of Cam Barker in the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs. I can't also forget Luongo being the last line of defence for Team Canada during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Luongo made this humongous glove save, or should I say "Lu-mongus save" off a slap shot from Cam Barker. The Canucks were at home in Vancouver, the Canucks were leading the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1, Luongo was on his A game. I was sitting on my couch watching it from the edge of my seat. Luongo had some traffic in his crease, Marian Hossa knocked Luongo's stick out of his hand. The puck slid over to the blue line where Chris Versteeg was able to scoop it up. I can hear Jim Hughson calling the play as I type this.

"He can't put it in past Luongo. Centring pass to Versteeg. Luongo doesn't have his stick. Looks in front, saucers to Barker... SAVE LUONGO!"

Right then and there I jumped up from my couch, clapped and cheered!

I could hear the crowd go wild, cheer and yell "LUUUUUUUU!" in respect for their star goaltender.

That without a doubt has to be my favourite save by my favourite goalie. So, I want to hear from you guys! What is your all time favourite save by your all time favourite goalie?

Until next week, guys!

This month isn't looking too great

Hey, guys!


I don't know how much of you have been following the Jets so far but its been a really tough dry spell. The Jets are 2-9 this month alone! The only teams the Jets have beat are the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Vancouver Canucks. Both of those teams are struggling and haven't been the greatest teams the past few years.

Although, I will say this... I'm glad they kicked the crap out of Vancouver the other day! Although, the Canucks were one of my favourite teams before they Jets came back, but that was only because of their ex-allstar goalie, Roberto Luongo of course.

I have a rivalry against the Canucks because my girlfriend is from Vancouver. Other then that, I'm fine with the Canucks.


Now, with that said, the Jets need to concentrate on the future especially for their game tomorrow night against the Coyotes.


So, this brings me to my question of the week to you guys! How many of you think the Jets will get out of this awful funk and rip up in the rest of the regular season? And how many of you guys have a rivalry with your significant other? Not just your boyfriend/ girlfriend but also family members! Comment below!

Until next week, guys!

This will probably make your blood boil if you're a Jets fan

Hey, guys.


Ok, Christmas is coming up pretty soon, but, I'm not excited for that. I'm excited to see the Jets take on the Buffalo Sabres. Most of you are probably asking "Why? The Sabres suck."

I know, I know. I'm just really excited to see the reaction from fans at the MTS Centre when Evander Kane hits the ice.


For those of you who don't know Evander Kane might just be the most hated Winnipeg Jets player to date. Kane was known as the "Jerk of the Jets." (Actually the word is a little more colourful) He was know by most Jets fans as the type of guy who would walk out on bills at restaurants, act disrespectful towards teammates and the Jets organization, even charging fans for photos/ autographs.

Jets fan had been dealing with this nonsense since the day Kane arrived in Winnipeg after the Jets relocation from Atlanta in 2011.

Now, recently in an article in The Hockey News, Kane made some comments regarding his stay in Winnipeg saying (I will post the link)

"Yeah, I asked for a trade every off-season in Winnipeg."  

Now, I'm pretty level headed guy when it comes to matters like this, I like to hear both sides. For the last little bit, and if you're a fan of Kane, good! I have heard that he does treat people pretty badly, and that was one of the biggest reasons for him being traded to Buffalo. 

So, what I want to know is if any of you guys have had a negative encounter with Evander Kane or know someone or heard about a negative encounter with Evander Kane when he was a Jet?

See you next week, guys!

Mike Richards busted?

What's up, pigeons?


So, this week I've got something a little different to talk about.... NHL players getting in trouble with the law! It's not often that this happens but it sure does happen, most of the time we don't even know it happens. So, I'm going to talk about the most recent drug bust to a player who's a pretty big deal, Mike Richards.

Richards WAS a centre-man for the Los Angeles Kings until mid June 2015. Richards was charged with drug possession after Canada border patrol officers found oxycodone in his car at the Pembina, North Dakota border crossing.

Now, just like most cases with NHL players getting in trouble with the law, nothing has been settled definitively. A court hearing is set for December 8, 2015 where hopefully everything will settle once and for all.

Also, since his arrest for drug possession in June, the Los Angeles Kings have terminated the rest of his contract. So, I have to ask you guys, do you think the Kings terminating Richards's contract was a good idea, public relations wise? Or do you guys think the Kings made a big mistake letting letting him go? Comment below!


Until next week, kids!
