The BlueLine: Hockey Talk Radio - www.BlueLineTalkRadio.com

Almost 90 minutes of my complaints today, as I outline what may be the unraveling of the league, but not via a lockout. Circumvention of the salary cap takes on a new form, the world hockey summit brings useless matters to the forefront, Kovalchuk is still an ass, and the amazing two-faced assclowns from the KHL and IIHF. The olympics rear their ugly head, Brian Burke goes off, and the War vs Bloggers has begun. Thanks and enjoy...

Today we analyzed the fallout from the Kovalputz rejection and how the Wales trophy predicted it. A bunch of deals get made in Canada, as a meddling parent steps in. Marc Savard's feeling are hurt, Name your own price in FLA, screwing of Pens fans from the Winter Classic to the Snack Bar, and a new Stonehenge is appearing in St. Louis. Rule changes and random hockey love round the show out...thank you!

The Heritage Classic opens the show today, and leads us into the waiting for Kovalchuk. The Oilers goalie deal and the legal issues facing Nikolai Khabibulin leads us to the deal with the Hawks, Niemi and Huet, then we discuss the Mike Modanomoron, The Red Wings and finally, the retirement of Chris Chelios. Also the fun of surgery for hockey guys...Thank you and enjoy the show...

The latest on the arbitration of Ilya Kovalputz, the LA Kings and their supposed PLan B, Stadium food issues, the Winter Cliche, Hockey on the rise in the South, and Wells Fargo being evil are all topics on this week's edition of the show. I decide to also do my best Eddie Van Halen impression for you as well. Thanks and enjoy!!!

Ran a little long on this show, but I had to break down the elements of the Kovalchuk situation and what it means in all directions. Also, the Mayan calendar predicts the end of hockey, the origin of team names, calling 9-1-1 and hockey in Mexico working its way up. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

Today's show features Toews Lake, who is the better Koivu, Modano's Teeth, the Hawks further up the proverbial creek with no paddle, big money contracts and what they really translate into. Cupcakes and musicals round out the show...and aren't we glad for that?? Thanks and enjoy!

Finally, the New Show is DONE!!! I spent some time today doing an open-line segment which coupled with my commentary gives us 90 minutes of hockey fun. The Kovalchuk -Kings-Flyers web continues to be spun, even more Russian players making waves, and the continuing business of the offseason round out the show. In addition, friends, listeners, media people and hockey fans visit by phone for open lines. Thanks and enjoy

We have witnesses an extraordinary shift in thinking of the the GMs as Free Agency opens, and how there is a move to cheaper goalies, more expensive defense, and a general caution as deals are made. Today we look at the major deals made, and what to expect out of them. Additionally, we speculate on the fate of some of the remaining guys up for sale. Thanks and enjoy...

The NHL Awards and the NHL Draft occupy both spots this week. However, the weaving of trades, moves and wheeling and dealing by the GM added a unique twist to both events. Additionally, budget and salary constraints conspire to shape the upcoming Free Agent season, and also impacted moves at the draft. We discuss how the rosters are going to look after the summer and what the cost will be to make it happen...

To beat the offseason doldrums, I present to you today's show, which is the soundtrack for hockey withdrawal. We rely on music to soothe our pain. We discuss the Briere accident, the Halak trade, and my upcoming visit to the NHL Awards show. From there, we kick it and rock out a little discussing the Stars, Leafs, Flyers, Bruins, Hall of Famers, Foreclosures and a little bit of this and that. Thank you and enjoy...

We're going two hours today on the show!! Discussing the Stanley Cup Finals, the infamous goal and the Flyers goaltending. The Pronger hate-fest in Chicago continues, more idiots playing the race card, Coach Q gets a call and so do I. Some coaching changes, players foolish with money, potential moves and the spotlight on Toronto's Cup drought. Closing with some free agency updates, and a wonderful story about a great friend. Thanks and enjoy!!

I discusss where we stand in the SCF, and how Chris Pronger is making his intended impact. NHL promotions, branding and exorbitant ticket prices round out a discussion on Ron Maclean vs Gary Bettman, Ron Maclean vs the River, and Gary Bettman vs the world. Dumbian Cox makes another appearance, and speaks down to us while Ottawa, Florida and and Detroit plan big things. Thanks and enjoy my hockeyz!!!

Today we talk GMs in Tampa and Florida, Stadiums collapsing, the Bruins collapsing, the wonderful folly of Flyers fans, 3rd round of the playoffs, and stupid pills and the hockey management who take them. Additionally, more shots fired at Euro and Russian hockey, and my new-found disdain for Lance Armstrong. Enjoy and have a great weekend

04/30/10: NEW SHOW - Filling in this week is Will Moran of Goal Mouth Radio...Will discusses the recent successes of the NHL and the playoffs, the stories involving the ending of Round 1, and whats going on as Round 2 gets underway. Please show him blueline hockey love!!! Thanks hockeyz...and enjoy!!!

04/23/10: Taking a look at the various playoff series, and not only discussing the best hockey we've seen in ages, but the humor within many of the series. Making an appearance is the Distinct Kicking Motion, Too Many Men on the ice, and the questionable state of league rules. Additionally, today I decide to take a few whacks at the hockey blogosphere as well as my usual shots at Russian hockey. Thanks and enjoy!
