Lots of hockey. Lots of golf. Other sports too.

Minivan Dad
This sequence isn't really even about the RVH. It's about a young goalie needing to learn how to establish and maintain his advantage in situational play.

Minivan Dad
IF you're going to try to get your name etched in a plaque on the Stanley Cup, then it doesn't hurt to have a guy in goal who's already got his name on one. Even if his name is Corey Crawford.

Sure it's a small sample size, but there's gold in them thar multicolored Ducks unis.

Minivan Dad
Ben Bishop is a very, very good NHL goalie, but his fundamental technical base is flawed, and that undermines the considerable advantages that his size affords him.

Honestly, I thought we had passed the point as a society where girls have to prove their athletic prowess by competing against boys.

Minivan Dad
The books will record this as a 4-1 series win for the Los Angeles Kings over the New York Rangers for their 2nd Stanley Cup in 3 years. That's not exactly fair.

Minivan Dad
There will be 156 golfers competing. There are only two that really matter right now, before the Open begins, and one of them isn't even in the field. And no, it's not Tiger Woods.

Unfortunately for us hockey fans, there isn't much left to this season.

Minivan Dad
These are getting easier. The Kings defeated the Rangers in double overtime in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, 5-4. At this rate, the Kings may very well sweep the Rangers but have played 7 games of hockey.
Read MoreFinal, Game 1... Yeah, Pretty Much
Minivan Dad
Tonight, these were two very good hockey teams playing a high energy game, with 2 excellent goaltenders. As I had hoped, the hockey was exciting in game 1. As I expected, the Kings won. The Rangers could easily have won this game. But they didn't.

Enter Milan Lucic.
I've always thought of Lucic as a skilled thug who occasionally went over the edge, but not anymore.
