About

I'm a true sports dork and have no problem admitting it. Some people follow the numbers on Wall Street, I follow box scores.

I don't watch TV, I watch sports. In my mind, commentators are my friends, I see them everyday and occasionally shout at them. Although they can't hear me, I'm not alone on this one.

As a kid I attended countless IHL hockey games and have seen scores of young NHL talent at the IHL level and even a few current coaches.(Ken Hitchcock, Claude Noel)

When attending a sporting event, I love to watch the warm-ups because there's plenty to learn about the game during those crucial moments directly before.

Just a massive sports fan who loves to write.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my work. Enjoy.

    You're welcome! It's always interesting to read those sorts of articles when there are millions of articles arguing for Andrew Luck and Co.

    If you are interested in a fantasy hockey league I need a few more owners in an established yahoo league. It's the 7th year for my H2H points based league. Live draft is tomorrow night at 7:30. All of the owners are active all season. League ID is 34284 password is 1. I look forward to seeing you.

    Hey Matt, no problem. Not sure about your poll question, but it looks like it got fixed (I just went to the article, and the poll is there).

    Since it was a really deep draft (20 teams) I took care of goaltending in the first two rounds. I took Lu in the first round (I was picking 13 or 14), and when Tim Thomas was still there in round two I couldn't pass him up. Then I picked up Mike Richards in the third round. I was pretty happy with it. Right now I am trying to turn Statsny into another good netminder, and then I can deal sometime during the season if I need to, or try and just dominated in the goalie stats.
