FREE BIRD!!! My Milan Olympics Recap
FREE BIRD!!! 🦅 🇺🇸 The 2026 Winter Olympics Ice Hockey opener in Milan did not disappoint. In a once-in-a-lifetime event, TEAM USA fought off a shaky first period of goals being taken away to dominate Latvia 5-1 with some of the cleanest goals I’ve ever seen!

With NHL players finally back in Olympic play, it felt like a no-brainer to take the trip. Thankfully it was Italy too, which made it much easier to convince the wife to fly across the pond, as they say, to see a hockey game. A once-in-a-lifetime experience is on deck Thursday as we’ll be boots on the ground for

Zags give Gaels a Sweet Farewell To Spokane
Though a couple of mid-majors from small towns on the West Coast, Saint Mary’s & Gonzaga have become quite the giants . Over the last two decades they have come to blows in the WCC countless times, and sadly tonight was the last time in Spokane at the Kennel. Graham Ike's returned to lead the Zags to the 73-65 win. Yet again, this rivalry did not disappoint between the elite of the West. Gonzaga, without Braden Huff(sadly starting to think for the season), did get back th

Kraken Are NHL’s most Random Team…& I LOVE IT!
The Seattle Kraken’s roller-coaster season continues as they somehow still feel within reach of both the playoffs and the number one pick. The truest form of duality lives on in Climate Pledge Arena tonight. As we welcome in the Washington Capitals & Alexander Ovechkin , I can’t help but reminisce a bit on how I became a Krakhead. Growing up in AZ, hockey just wasn’t my number one, two, three, or even seventh choice. It wasn’t until the 2014 Olympics TJ Oshie game that my

Now this does show that the Hawks are pushing all their chips in on Jalen Johnson as their franchise player (fair after all, he is averaging 23/1

It's coming to a point where you can't mention one without the other two, as they all fight for who is truly the GOAT of their sport.
