- NHL Center Ice Package: I’m Sold 6:03pm Nov 5|1 Comment

Snowman favorite George Parros picked up his first of the year, ending a 21-game stretch without a goal that extended into last spring. It was a weird night, including a goal that Joffrey Lupul put in off of the glass stanchion near the blue line.
I broke down and ordered the NHL Center Ice package tonight. It was actually a Facebook conversation with a co-worker that convinced me it was worth the $172 for the next six months, or as he put it, less than the cost of going to two games...
Sports fans most definitely mark time by sports seasons, and clearly associate events staggeringly good or bad with particular slices of our life...
It’s time for the Fall Classic, and this year it tramples the Garden State in multiple ways. Growing up in Freehold, NJ, I had the benefit of being located as close to the centroid of the state as you could be. ...
Trailers for The Blind Side are running along with a steady stream of TV spots. I think it’s the required viewing holiday movie for this year, because Michael Lewis captured so much of what can be good in sports. ...
I’m finally getting around to adding some header graphics to the blog featuring images that are more advanced than a 2nd grader’s failed art project. I...
There’s a disturbing trend of parents pushing their kids into sports thinking far too long term. Elementary schoolers toting half-sized golf bags around the driving range are the next Tiger Woods. ...
WordPress is one of the most widely adopted, easily modified and customized blogging and content management platforms available. It’s what powers the Snowman as well as some larger sites (oh, like CNN’s blogs); WordPress blogs are read by some tens of millions of users a day. Cool? N...
Bubba and I attended the Devils’ opening night game at the Rock, and we’re willing to take the blame for the humiliation personally. We left our Elias jerseys at home (in honor of Patrik’s rehab) and rocked it old school red. Our bad. We’...
After a few years of complete and utter futility on the golf course, I decided it was time to take a few lessons and figure out what was wrong...
I had the pleasure of playing in the NHL Charity Golf Event in July 2003, in a foursome with (at that time) Stanley Cup Champion and New Jersey Devil Scott Gomez...
OK, my French is horrendous, my high school French teacher wants to rescind the award that she gave me upon graduation for “excellence in studies” and L’Academie Francaise is going to put a contract out on my tongue. Quelle frommage. I d...
It’s been progressively harder to get ready for Devils hockey each year. Training camp became a mystery to be revealed by proper beat writers, rather than open to the public as it was at South Mountain Arena. While other teams play exhibition games daily, the Devils haven’t played in a week. A...
I stumbled on Carrie Fisher’s blog following a pointer from the ever-popular Squeech. She is hilarious. She is the show-business equivalent of Howard Cosell for her ability to tell it like it is. And her blog is WordPress-powered, so nerds have yet another reason to like her.
The Bergen Record’s Tom Gulitti, author of the Fire & Ice blog, is now on Twitter as well. Nice way to keep updated on his Devils coverage, which will accelerate now that training camp is open.
