Ovechkin For President



While I will admit that I am an old school hockey fan, is there a better player in hockey then the great ALEX OVECHKIN!!!! For anyone who has never seen a hockey game or anyone who is a hockey fan this man is a combination of everything that a hockey player should be. He hits like an animal, he fights his own battles, he skates like a bird, shoots as hard as anyone and he never never quits.

Several weeks ago I was at the Ranger Caps game at MSG, the Caps were down 3-0. I looked at the camera man and he was laughing. I told him there was still 2 periods to go and I would bet that this game is far from over. Wouldn't you know it, Caps win in OT. Ovey couple of goals, couple assists. He never quits.

Further, the guy has a personality to match his skills. He is just crazy. He is a combo of Messier and Gretz. Check this out he is SICK.

Sean Avery Scapegoat for the NHL



Well, here goes nothing. HL "Hockey Lawyer"is dedicated to bringing to all his loyal blogger's the best in Hockey views and news. You want to talk about it? Lets do it.



My first topic is Sean Avery and the NHL. Lets face facts, being called "sloppy seconds" is degrading but six games and counseling? I am sure that the NHL is aware of the 1st Amendment and Freedom of Speech but apparently the NHLPA didn't even think it was appropriate to file a grievance on his behalf? Odd right. Maybe the NHL is more of a monopoly then MLB ever was.


While Mr. Avery is in fact a bit on the "Wild Side", his rep's and lawyers should have had the balls to fight the cause. Hell, Plaxico's people filed a grievance and he shot himself with an illegal gun. Also, the NFL only suspended him for 4 games. Well, I'm sure Mr. Avery is not suffering since Dallas has vowed to pay his salary and not requiring his return.

That's not so bad considering he hated being in Dallas anyway.

Later this week, my view of, and from, the "Winter Classic"
