For our friends north of the border, it's a week poised to go down as one of the greatest in Canada's history, ranking right up there with the discovery of back bacon and when Alanis Morissette moved to Los Angeles. (Isn't it ironic that I made fun of you, Alanis?)
The ...

After watching the spectacular gold medal game between the U.S. and Canada, one distinct thought stood out in my mind. Forget the fact that I just witnessed the most exciting and most dramatic hockey game I had ever seen. Who cares that I played the under 5.5 goals on a whim and won even though I don't ...

While the United States continues to dominate the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, everyone paused yesterday so the host nation could play a little hockey against its neighbor to the south. It was lovely of the Canadians to allow the Americans on the ice and show us how to play ...

This is kind of like ESPN the Magazine's NEXT series or something. But it's more random and freewheeling. I've just decided to spout on about hockey's current version of, say, LeBron when he was still in high school.
This young man's name is John Tavares and he's considered a front runner ...
