FSC Faceoff: T-Minus 4 Hours
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009/06/t-minus-4-hours.html
Friday, June 26, 2009. It's officially been 78 days since I've last sat at this computer and have written about our favorite hockey team. Working 55-60 hours of construction a week will do that to you. Anyone who has read this blog knows how I feel about John Tavares. It's not that I don't love him as a player, but I'm more enamoured by the mammouth defenseman from Sweden, and have now officially joined the "Matt Duchene Man-Crush" bandwagon. Who do I think the Isles WILL take? Who do I want? This draft ...

FSC Faceoff: Let's Get One Thing Clear...
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009/07/lets-get-one-thing-clear.html
Friday, July 17, 2009. Let's Get One Thing Clear. I DO NOT hate John Tavares. Since the Islanders selected the 19 year old center from the London Knights, friends (knowing my man-crush of Victor Hedman and my recent boarding of the Matt Duchene bandwagon) have asked me if I will cheer for Tavares. My response: "as loud as I can". Those of you who I've spoken to about this have probably grown tired of this argument, so I'll leave it at that. Was John Tavares the right pick? Boy, I hope I'm wrong. View my ...

FSC Faceoff: "Glimmer of Hope", or "Enjoy it while you can"?
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009/10/glimmer-of-hope-or-enjoy-it-while-you.html
Sunday, October 4, 2009. Glimmer of Hope", or "Enjoy it while you can"? The Islanders are on the power play. And the bouncing puck. Moulson after it. Still loose, backhand, shot, score! JOHN TAVARES HAS HIS FIRST NHL GOAL! Ever since 7:05 pm on June 26, 2009, Islander fans have been waiting to hear that. On a night where political tensions ran high, where paranoia was so thick and pronounced it could be cut with a knife, and where fans constantly wondered "whats next? Lighthouse Principle and Islanders o...

FSC Faceoff: My Night at the Draft Party: Part One
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-night-at-draft-party-part-one.html
Sunday, June 28, 2009. My Night at the Draft Party: Part One. Greetings from Erie, Pennsylvania! This week, my new construction job (which I'm regretting taking more every day), has brought me to this little city on the shore of Lake Erie. Unfortunately, this is the second time in three weeks I've had to make the ten hour drive to a city which I've affectionately come to call "America's Armpit". Great job done by Stephen and Tony. Great job to everyone at the Lighthouse Group. After my visit with the peo...

FSC Faceoff: October 2009
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. As an official "minion" (and damned good one at that) of the Lighthouse Group, one of my duties was to write an article about the state of the project and about Saturday's "day of certainty". Enjoy, courtesy of the Light Post! Sunday, October 4, 2009. Glimmer of Hope", or "Enjoy it while you can"? The Islanders are on the power play. And the bouncing puck. Moulson after it. Still loose, backhand, shot, score! JOHN TAVARES HAS HIS FIRST NHL GOAL! The sold out Coliseum was shaki...

Igloo Dreams: January 2012
http://igloodreams.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The completely unofficial blog about the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Game #51 - at Toronto Maple Leafs. Pittsburgh Penguins (29-17-4, 62 points) at Toronto Maple Leafs (25-19-6, 56 points). With two goals in the previous game, Grabovski is moving dangerously close to "Penguin Killer" territory. Why does it matter? What has been happening lately? Eight wins in a row, but you can't count on the third period comebacks very often at all. Questions to be answered. Will we see a fast start?

Igloo Dreams: Flyers 4, Penguins 3 (OT)
http://igloodreams.blogspot.com/2012/04/flyers-4-penguins-3-ot.html
The completely unofficial blog about the Pittsburgh Penguins. Thursday, April 12, 2012. Flyers 4, Penguins 3 (OT). Inconsistency has been the hallmark of this team in over the past month. That was the defining characteristic again last night. The first period was excellent. After that, things were not so good. I won't even talk about the OT. When they do, they put themselves in a great spot to win games. When they don't, like last night, things don't go well. Labels: 11-12 Game Review. Contact me at iglo...

Igloo Dreams: December 2011
http://igloodreams.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The completely unofficial blog about the Pittsburgh Penguins. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Game #38 - at New Jersey Devils. Pittsburgh Penguins (21-12-4, 46 points) at New Jersey Devils (20-15-1, 41 points). You don't often get to break out a 1995-96 hockey card! This is a Sykora rookie card from his original go-round with the Devils. He's having a good year with 21 points in 36 games (10 11). Why does it matter? What has been happening lately? They've won eight of eleven, but just two of their past four.

Igloo Dreams: 2012 Free Agency Day 1 Roundup
http://igloodreams.blogspot.com/2012/07/2012-free-agency-day-1-roundup.html
The completely unofficial blog about the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sunday, July 01, 2012. 2012 Free Agency Day 1 Roundup. The Pens didn't make a big splash on the first day of free agency this year. Neither Ryan Suter or Zach Parise made a decision on where they would go, though Parise is supposedly going to make a decision tomorrow. There were a few smaller moves, the biggest of them being the signing of Tanner Glass. Riley Holzapfel is just 23, but he has logged four seasons in the AHL since being a second ...
