The Armchair Analyst: Free Agent Season Takes a Back Seat to Dany Heatley
http://waynecoristine.blogspot.com/2009/07/free-agent-season-takes-back-seat-to.html
My highly opinionated views on issues in the sports I follow (hockey, golf, baseball, professional eating and others). Friday, July 3, 2009. Free Agent Season Takes a Back Seat to Dany Heatley. The time when every General Manager leaves his brains at home and gets the keys to the owners' vault. Of course, depending on the man running the team, this can be a good day or a real head scratcher. Teams desperate to get back to contention throw the keys to the organization at good but not always great players ...

The Armchair Analyst: Money Malarkey!
http://waynecoristine.blogspot.com/2009/10/money-malarkey.html
My highly opinionated views on issues in the sports I follow (hockey, golf, baseball, professional eating and others). Thursday, October 22, 2009. Written by Wayne Coristine. Remember a few years back, when Gary Bettman and the suits running the league and its teams told us how important it would be to get a new Collective Bargaining Agreement? Remember when the league was on ESPN for American fans (and there actually are a few, they just have no clue where to watch games anymore)? Well, maybe, just mayb...

The Armchair Analyst: Here Comes the Headshots Debate
http://waynecoristine.blogspot.com/2009/10/here-comes-headshots-debate.html
My highly opinionated views on issues in the sports I follow (hockey, golf, baseball, professional eating and others). Monday, October 26, 2009. Here Comes the Headshots Debate. Written by Wayne Coristine. A few things come to mind when you watch this play…starting with "holy shit! Then wondering if Richards: a) left his feet, b) used his elbow, c) was it a deliberate hit to the head d) was it late, and e) is Booth going to live? Of his shoulder, so the elbow is never an issue. Getting back to the hit it...

The Armchair Analyst: The NHL buries its (concussed) head in the sand
http://waynecoristine.blogspot.com/2008/11/nhl-buries-its-concussed-head-in-sand.html
My highly opinionated views on issues in the sports I follow (hockey, golf, baseball, professional eating and others). Wednesday, November 5, 2008. The NHL buries its (concussed) head in the sand. Players today wear more equipment covering more of their bodies than ever before. In theory, that should give the players more protection, right? Well, in theory having teams in Florida and Arizona makes sense too. And this hit on Wayne Gretzky? Obviously, concussions are better diagnosed these days, and more p...

The Armchair Analyst: Edmonton Oilers Season Preview – Pre-Training Camp Edition
http://waynecoristine.blogspot.com/2009/09/edmonton-oilers-season-preview-pre.html
My highly opinionated views on issues in the sports I follow (hockey, golf, baseball, professional eating and others). Thursday, September 10, 2009. Edmonton Oilers Season Preview – Pre-Training Camp Edition. For the last several years, we knew that Ales Hemsky would be stuck with Shawn "Whiff" Horcoff as his centre. It could happen again this year, or maybe not…who knows? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I'm a bit of a sports fan with a few opinions here and there. I've bee...

The Armchair Analyst: Hypocrisy in the NHL Office? NEVER….
http://waynecoristine.blogspot.com/2009/07/hypocrisy-in-nhl-office-never.html
My highly opinionated views on issues in the sports I follow (hockey, golf, baseball, professional eating and others). Friday, July 31, 2009. Hypocrisy in the NHL Office? I woke up this morning to an interesting story in the Ottawa Sun by Bruce Garrioch: "'Hawks under microscope, NHL investigating Hossa contract." A. Here's the annual value breakdown for each contract:. Zetterberg (Annual Cap Hit: $6.055 million). Franzen (Annual Cap Hit: $3.955 million). Hossa (Annual Cap Hit: $5.23 million). After the ...

The Armchair Analyst: Olympics at a Glance – Week One
http://waynecoristine.blogspot.com/2010/02/olympics-at-glance-week-one.html
My highly opinionated views on issues in the sports I follow (hockey, golf, baseball, professional eating and others). Friday, February 19, 2010. Olympics at a Glance – Week One. You could debate that the Sharks line (also known for their respective ghost impersonations in big games) are the best Canadian line so far. You could argue Getzlaf and Perry are playing well with Eric Staal and were just snake bitten against the Swiss. Doesn't matter, those guys are supposed to play well together. Basically, Ca...

The Armchair Analyst: Olympic Second Glance
http://waynecoristine.blogspot.com/2010/02/olympic-second-glance.html
My highly opinionated views on issues in the sports I follow (hockey, golf, baseball, professional eating and others). Monday, February 22, 2010. However, that's not where I'm taking this blog…what I want to point out is the one Canadian Olympian that stands out more than any other who embodies how the C.O.C. should be building their team. His name is Jon Montgomery and he just so happens to have won gold in skeleton. Why Jon Montgomery? Hockey Powerhouse Set for Demolition? Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
