You meant Jiri Fischer. Peverley was in Nashville's system in 2005 but he was in the minors until 2006.

Trust me, I don't want it to be so. My grandparents grew up two blocks from Santarpio's and met in the neighborhood as kids. I've been going to Santarpio's before Bruins games since I was 6. I know what it used to be and it definitely doesn't have a consistent heater anymore. It can still reach 98 on the gun but 3 of…

Nick's is the "roast" target URL. Santarpio's has been up and down over the last few years but it used to be A+ every time. Unwelcoming for sure, but it's a palace compared to what it was 15 years ago.

I went to Santarpio's last night. It didn't feel like I was about to contract Hep C, the lamb was dry, and the quality of their pizza has officially fallen off a cliff. Now I wake up to see that Nick's was mentioned in a Deadspin column. I'm going to spend this lie of a "cloudless spring day" evaluating whether…

If you want a high-level view, toss gasoline on that jersey and light the bucket ablaze. Now let it burn for 30 years, reapply gasoline twice a year, and move it to Brooklyn and you get the Islanders.

Brooks also reported that Callahan and the Rangers hadn't gotten materially closer on salary before the trade. Callahan himself said he was surprised a deal didn't get done because of how much closer the sides got.

Brooks said today that the deal hinged on young guys going to Tampa. Obviously incorrect, obviously still a hack.

Because rumors are always accurate. And rumored trades involving black players in western Canada always come to pass.

The shield does nothing for the vast majority of potential dangers. Not only does it leave your face exposed below the eyes (you know, where the puck, skates, and and sticks are) but in some cases it makes a stick blade more dangerous. I will only ever wear a full cage because I'm not insane.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know there's going to be a pretty strong correlation between caught balls and efficient routes. If a guy is taking 85% efficient routes, he's going to do a lot of last-second diving and jumping, which are dicier propositions.

St. Louis did the same thing, only they were on the road. Their backup was one of Anaheim's equipment guys. Oddly enough, this wasn't his first time being an emergency backup, either.

Yeah. A slightly better Chuck Kobasew, who was a streaky secondary scorer in his best days. I wanted Callahan to be so much better than he is (and Dubinsky, too) - he's just not a top line player on a contending team.

So he's Chuck Kobasew v1.5.

Larsson for St. Louis (e3).

Phil Esposito is like an R-rated Don Cherry and Larry Brooks is a card-carrying hack.

He must have been one of the first public figures to popularize the sports jersey look. Snoop has a lifetime exemption on the grounds of being Snoop, but he would also get the pioneer exemption here.

He's a jagoff, she's not half as smart as she tells everyone she is.

Neil Young in Massachusetts does not compute. Nothing against Neil, I'm just not getting it - you don't exactly have a bunch of Neil Young diehards walking around here.

A man who appeals to suburban conservatives and inner-city minorities is too much for my American brain to handle.
