Written by ladies with puckitude. April 9, 2014. Kris Letang’s Return is a Big Mistake. In the wake of Rich Peverley. 8216;s collapse last month, you would think that teams would want to be careful with the health of their players.

Then I saw the following passage in this article. Also, from the way he described it, L...

Written by ladies with puckitude. April 7, 2014. JT Miller Deserves a Chance (but Maybe Not with the Rangers). The young man in the picture is JT Miller.

https://adventuresinpucking.wordpress.com/2014/02/22/team-usas-collapse-whos-to-blame
Written by ladies with puckitude. February 22, 2014. Team USA’s Collapse: Who’s to Blame? I missed the entire first period and most of the second of today’s Bronze Medal Game between the USA and Finland. When I did finally tune in, it was already 2-0 for the Finns and the US team played like they could care less. It was really disappointing to see a bench full of players so collectively dejected to the point of pretty much giving up. During the playoffs last season, when Daniel Alfredsson. Is the root of...

Sometimes I see a news item and have such a deep opinion on it that it takes me a while to articulate it because I have all these thoughts all at once, and my brain needs time to sort them properly.

Written by ladies with puckitude. March 6, 2014. This Year’s Trade Deadline Madness, or True Life: I’m Addicted to TradeCentre. Hello, I’ve survived the trade deadline. If you’re reading this, so have you. First of all, I want to commend Stan Bowman. I, a guy who just couldn’t get his feet off the ground in the NHL. Here’s hoping he’ll thrive with the Florida Panthers. Speaking of the Panthers, let’s talk about Roberto Luongo. He was miserable in Vancouver, but Mike Gillis. And he’d been asking for...
