Edmonton Oilers Have Become Destination Hockey

August 10, 2023August 10, 2023 ~ MaskedMan ~ Leave a comment

It’s funny writing posts like this one because I remember being an Edmonton Oilers follower in like 2011 when they couldn’t win a game. Now, you get household names like Frank Seravalli saying this about them. https://twitter.com/dailyfaceoff/status/1689324739804962816?s=46&t=Z5zGFS7wegvgC8LkKHXuoA It's pretty amazing just to hear the Edmonton Oilers mentioned as one of the model franchises of the … Continue reading Edmonton Oilers Have Become Destination Hockey

The Boys on The Bus

August 7, 2023August 7, 2023 ~ MaskedMan ~ Leave a comment

This has to be the greatest hockey documentary ever made. It’s 1987, and dripping with times when the world, Canada, the culture, and the sport of hockey were dripping with magic. A time that shall never return. https://twitter.com/itshockeynite/status/1688703195218907136?s=46&t=Z5zGFS7wegvgC8LkKHXuoA In case you want to watch it - and you should at least once - here it … Continue reading The Boys on The Bus

This guy, where he's been all my life, I don't know. Last night, I found The Hockey Guy on YouTube. He's amazing to me. Each day he posts multiple videos about the sport and has his little white board out to display facts and break down whatever topic he's talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqJdQpVHN94 Absolutely every topic … Continue reading The Hockey Guy Shannon

I discovered this guy's channel a while back. It's really solid, he's a Canadian.

Boston Bruins: Milan Lucic Returns to Beantown

August 2, 2023 ~ MaskedMan ~ Leave a comment

Man, Milan Lucic has always carried my respect in NHL culture. He was the backbone of that bad ass Bruins team that won the Stanley Cup with Chara, Tyler Seguin and the like in 2011. Now, he's headed back to Boston. https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1686735762560094209?s=20 Interestingly, it sounds like Lucic considered going to the Chicago Blackhawks, which would … Continue reading Boston Bruins: Milan Lucic Returns to Beantown

August 1, 2023 ~ MaskedMan ~ Leave a comment

At the NSCC 2023 in Chicago, the Hockey Hall of Fame had a presence. I thought this was pretty cool. https://twitter.com/itshockeynite/status/1685416442815008768?s=46&t=Z5zGFS7wegvgC8LkKHXuoA This is definitely as close as I’ll ever get to the Rocket Richard trophy. Amazing!

Bedard Mania at the NSCC

August 1, 2023 ~ MaskedMan ~ Leave a comment

Over the weekend, I made my second trip to Chicago for the 2023 National Sports Card Convention. I got a Gretzky Rookie Card PSA 4, and had a chance to stop by the Upper Deck booth. In other words, I was amongst hardcore memorabilia headquarters and within the balance of the current trading card manufacturer … Continue reading Bedard Mania at the NSCC
