I took down my old designs because I wasn’t entirely pleased with how they looked. So, I taught myself how to use Illustrator, and started hand drawing some logos. Yes, it’s a lot of work, but it’s great experience, and it’s a lot of fun for me. What I came up with surprised me. I… [Read more…]

Get it? I think I’ve spent quite a lot of time being nice to the Coyotes over the years. Maybe I’m a bit of an apologist on their behalf, because let’s be honest, I have spent a majority of my life in Phoenix, and it’s nice to have a winning team around this city every… [Read more…]

A while back, Andy and I (with the help of our fellow Brad) decided, let’s see how horrible the All Star Game ballots are. With yesterday marking the last day of good hockey until February 1st, I figured it was time to announce the results. If you want to see how it was calculated,… [Read more…]

Update: Kostopoulos has a hearing tomorrow. Thanks Andy for the update! The NHL has slapped Ben Eager with a nice 4 game suspension for sucker-punching Colby Armstrong in the face. Honestly, it didn’t seem too harmful, just Armstrong is kind of a baby. Brad Stuart had his jaw broken by a shoulder-leading hit from Tom… [Read more…]

Sure, there are places that have not gotten one. There are also teams that haven’t been around long enough to deserve one, yet got them anyway– as a publicity stunt. To date, teams (in my opinion) that should host outdoor games (but haven’t) are: New York Rangers (Original 6) Toronto Maple Leafs (Original 6) Montreal… [Read more…]

Apparently, proof is needed. The question has been asked, people have doubted it. For what reason? I have no idea. There is that little bit of a bias that comes from splitting time, being undersized, and playing for the Red Wings, but let’s be honest– he’s been arguably the best goalie we’ve had since Sawchuk.… [Read more…]

Since we’ve had some time to evaluate thus far, I figured it would be a perfect time to look at the top 5 things that have surprised me in the NHL this season. There will be an NFL and NCAA Football too at some point as well. This has been an interesting season so far–… [Read more…]

There’s more than one reason for the logo. Obviously, it’s in Carolina. Secondly, though, look at the ballot. Holy red flag, Batman. Get it? Okay, so Andy and I decided (with the advice of our buddy Brad Boswell) that we’d set up a fantasy league for the most overrated people on the all-star ballot, as… [Read more…]

It’s time to unleash the new co-op logo. Andy from Fight Night at the Joe and I are appalled at the NHL’s All Star Ballot. Seems to be a bit more favoritism than performance, shocking right? So, taking it upon ourselves, we decided to make something that shows how idiotic the ballot is. Read about… [Read more…]

Once again, Andy and I (from Fight Night at the Joe, and Norway) have collaborated to break down the aesthetics of athletics– only this time it’s the best jerseys. In lieu of coming up with a cool “brand” for our co-ops, I found this thing, which will serve as the placeholder. Stay tuned for an… [Read more…]
