Today we made the long, long trek up to The Rawk to take in all the sights and sounds of the Devils facing off for a 5:00 Sunday game. Along for the ride? Pookie’s coworker Elizabeth, a Mets fan who is considering becoming a hockey fan to help pass the offseason. We [...]

Gentle Reader, we wanted to have new hockey content to share with you, really we did. This morning we got up bright and early and headed out to the Stars’ practice rink, ready to see some bag skating after the sucktitude the Stars displayed in their game on Saturday. Instead, we saw this:
