Cherry-Pucking the Opposition: Saviours, Strategies and Superegos

http://cherrypuckingtheopposition.blogspot.com/2009/05/saviours-strategies-and-superegos.html

Saturday, 16 May 2009. Saviours, Strategies and Superegos. And Brian Jennings sleeps easy in his bed at night…. 8220;The emergence of young stars, such as the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Sidney Crosby and the Washington Capitals’ Alexander Ovechkin, has informed the league’s strategy to attract a younger following. ‘We feel we’re well positioned as a brand and as a sport to appeal to a younger fan base,’ says Jennings.”. I’m not going to get into the shortcomings of either player here! Their plans were crumblin...

Cherry-Pucking the Opposition: I thought very carefully about my first blog...

http://cherrypuckingtheopposition.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-thought-very-carefully-about-my-first.html

Saturday, 16 May 2009. I thought very carefully about my first blog. But something changed and I think what I am going to let you read will be pretty self-explanatory. I was pretty angry at the time, a bottle the worse and I wrote it in the middle of the night. So based on the recent antics and tactics of the OK clan, let us have a look at:. The Millionaire's Guide to.How to Destroy a Hockey Franchise (a 10 step program)'. Prologue by Brian Lawton-. 1 *Back the Underdog*. 4 *#1 Draft Picks*. You're lumbe...

Cherry-Pucking the Opposition: Child's Perspective

http://cherrypuckingtheopposition.blogspot.com/2009/05/childs-perspective.html

Saturday, 16 May 2009. One of the ideas that I got was to let the pupils do a bit of research on the British national hockey team and their potential for the 2010 Olympics. As you probably know GB did not qualify for 2010, so we subsequently abandoned this idea for the much more colourful world of the NHL. I put them into pairs, they chose a team and eventually a topic which they would like to write about. I told them that I would put the winner here on my boards! Anaheim Ducks – Teemu Selanne. Teemu Sel...

Cherry-Pucking the Opposition: 26 Reasons Not to Take My Shirt Off

http://cherrypuckingtheopposition.blogspot.com/2009/05/26-reasons-not-to-take-my-shirt-off.html

Saturday, 16 May 2009. 26 Reasons Not to Take My Shirt Off. 8230;figuratively speaking of course! As I enter my 27th year of life tomorrow I’ve been reflecting on the last year…the last year of hockey anyway. I’ll be more specific and say I’ve been reflecting on the Penguins year. With this is mind I decided to challenge myself to think of 26 reasons to still have faith in the Penguins…despite a perennially disappointing season thus far. What can you say, he must have been disappointed to be a healthy sc...

Cherry-Pucking the Opposition: A Coffee Break from the Playoffs

http://cherrypuckingtheopposition.blogspot.com/2009/05/coffee-break-from-playoffs.html

Saturday, 16 May 2009. A Coffee Break from the Playoffs. On NHL Connect I have been involved in a project called the "Cosmopolitan Trilogies" with a couple of the ladies. The aim was to spread the word on players with whom people may not be familiar. We set various different themes for a trilogy of blog posts and we posted them together, unfortunately due various personal commitments we are unable to finish them for the moment! So, was it a right place, right time scenario that helped Goligoski flourish?

Cherry-Pucking the Opposition: 'Puck Bunny': NHL Friend or Foe?

http://cherrypuckingtheopposition.blogspot.com/2009/05/puck-bunny-nhl-friend-or-foe.html

Saturday, 16 May 2009. Puck Bunny': NHL Friend or Foe? A female ice hockey fan, often one whose interest in the sport is primarily motivated by sexual attraction to the players rather than enjoyment of the game itself. Puck bunnies elicit similar traits as groupies do to musicians. In 2004 was added to the second edition of the Canadian Oxford Dictionary). My preferred definition (props to PuckBunny radio for this super definition! Needless to say I walked away from a rather wounded man. On further inves...

Cherry-Pucking the Opposition: Averys to Angels

http://cherrypuckingtheopposition.blogspot.com/2009/05/averys-to-angels.html

Saturday, 16 May 2009. After reading the blog by Pens4life ‘I Wear Zebra Stripes’ I was quite impressed at the effect the penalties had on his children…so I decided to steal it! I thought I would use it on my class of 12yr olds who all have behavioural/social problems. I’ll be honest the past two weeks had been pretty bad behaviour wise and we were all coming to the end of our patience. The calm had been severely disrupted. I had nothing to lose!

Cherry-Pucking the Opposition: Public Perspective of Pens

http://cherrypuckingtheopposition.blogspot.com/2009/05/public-perspective-of-pens.html

Saturday, 16 May 2009. Public Perspective of Pens. The question I have been asking myself is this: Are we the fan’s responsible for the idea of a Pens’ ‘current slump’? Just think about it for a second…if we hadn’t finished on a relative high last year would we be so disappointed with their performance of late? Have we become our own worst enemy? Are we just playing the blame game? 8220;Crosby being a “cancer” in the locker room.”. 8220;Do I personally believe the blame lies on Crosby’s leadership ...

Cherry-Pucking the Opposition: My 5 Penguin Points

http://cherrypuckingtheopposition.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-am-i-most-talking-about-at-minute.html

Saturday, 16 May 2009. My 5 Penguin Points. What am I most talking about at the minute? That’s right, you heard me. I’m unsure how Shero thinks he can take a team to the cup with three high value centres…surely we can forgo the depth for now! If Shero was tryong to do what I think he was then with JS now signing an extension his market value has certainly shot up and it gives us that little more to play with. For now….in Shero we trust! 2Missing the window of opportunity. But aside from this the most imp...
