Afternoon Delight: Going to Game 1 in Detroit

  • On Frozen Blog rebukes the idea that steroids are prevelant in hockey.
  • Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy wonders who doesn’t like back-to-back finals games.  One name comes to mind: Drew Mindell.
  • From the Rink featuring James Mirtle has an interesting take on whether the Wings qualify as a Dynasty or not.   They do for sure.
  • Damien Cox, the Star’s hockey columnist talks about the bad luck the NHL has when a stellar playoff run has been overshadowed by a possible Phoenix move and now steroids.
  • From the Minneapolis Star Tribune we get news that the Lamoureux twins are planning to transfer from Minnesota to UND.

  • The Hockey News discusses the Top 10 Superstitions.   Further to this idea, Sean Leahy of Puck Daddy goes more in-depth with Sidney Crosby’s (gasp) touching of the trophy.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
