So the curtain is down on another exciting Premier League season, full of thrills spills, joy and torment. A few weeks ago on this site I gave my predictions on how the season would turn out. So how did I do?

I still can’t figure out how Daniel Carcillo was suspended for clocking a Penguins player while Calgary’s Mike Cammalleri was spared for the exact same act. Yeah, yeah I heard Colin “Colie” [...]

Help Joel Stein Save Hockey At Time Magazine

By Alex
To the editors of Time Magazine: Shit, shit, shit! In a poll asking readers to vote about whether writer Joel Stein should be banned from writing about hockey, I accidentally voted “Yes”. I morally ask you to ignore one vote.
