If you’ve been reading about hockey online, you’ve definitely read Paul Kukla, the Kukla of Kukla’s’ Korner. He truly is the hardest-working man in the business.
And now I can tell everybody that I’ve been interviewed by Paul Kukla himself, and we talked about, well, hockey, and Off The Post. That book of mine.
Click here to get to the interview, and then here to get the book.
Being an avid fan can’t be easy. Well, not just avid. An avid fan simply goes to all games so let me rephrase that. It can’t be easy to be a rabid, raving, crazy fan that lives his (or her) life through a hockey team.
Due to a sudden lack of motivation, there will be no updates here today. Have a great day.
Edit: Check back tomorrow, though. OK, see ya.
Edit2: But since you’re here, feel free to browse older entries below, or in the archive.
Edit3: Yeah, that’s me in the photo. Nice belt buckle.
I just heard that February is a non-flying month for many. Apparently, there’s a group called the Feb Four, that promotes February as a non-flying month for moral, environmental, religious, and financial reasons. I must say that that was news to me. I’d never heard of the Feb Four before, but there are so many of these groups these days.
Anyway, I realized that if that’s the case, you haven’t seen Scanorama, the SAS in-flight magazine that I completely own in February, with the Henrik Lundqvist profile, and my usual Web & Tech stuff.
Being your Web friend, I had to do something. And this is what I decided:
Here’s the link to the Henrik Lundqvist story that I posted earlier. My February Tech column from Scanorama behind the “Continued” link.
With all the pop stars messing around, all the superstar athletes making a fool of themselves everywhere, it’s heartening to know that there are still men like Raimo “Raipe” Helminen around.
The six-time Olympian, and the world record holder with his amazing 330 games with Team Finland is a good as they come.
A great parody here.
First, the original:
Then, the parody:
And here’s a reminder to check out the two previous posts before they get buried.
Here’s another one from nhl.com. I’ll file it under “lighter side”.
Here it is, finally: A profile on Henrik Lundqvist, the New York Rangers’ goalie. I wrote it in November, and today, you can find it in the seat pockets on every SAS flight.
And here, if you click on the image below to get the pdf.
Enjoy, happy landings!
On the road again, so to speak. Like Doc Brown said, “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” Technically, I’m not on the road right now, as I sit in a cabin on a ferry to Finland.
I did it once, and I’ll do it again. I’ll “live blog” this trip so come back, refresh often, and keep those questions and comments coming.
Dagens Nyheter, (“Daily News”), the biggest Swedish morning paper, had called the Swedish Elite League GMs to get the inside scoop of any upcoming trades. The trade deadline is January 31, so there are only a few hours – but no players – left.
One of the questions they asked the GMs was: “What has been the worst trade in your club’s history?”
Modo’s Erik Holmberg was in a positive frame of mind and replied: “I haven’t made that yet.”
I love it.
