Clear the Crease: Teemu Selanne Has a Posse
http://clearthecrease.blogspot.com/2014/05/teemu-selanne-has-posse.html
Hockey, HEAVY TUNES, and jerks telling you to fuck off. Monday, May 26, 2014. Teemu Selanne Has a Posse. Like everything else, hockey is mostly about doom. Decay and death are inevitable, omnipresent, omnipotent - and sometimes, hockey men transcend these with speed and power and grace and skill and will. And, sometimes, they embody them, and initiate us into the mysteries of limitation, decline, and lack. It was a disaster. That was nine full seasons ago. Over those nine seasons - or, to put it anot...

Clear the Crease: Mike Ricci Has a Posse
http://clearthecrease.blogspot.com/2014/06/mike-ricci-has-posse.html
Hockey, HEAVY TUNES, and jerks telling you to fuck off. Sunday, June 1, 2014. Mike Ricci Has a Posse. I wish I had a good man for a lover. Who knew the sharp tongues and just rage of men.". Book 6, Fitzgerald translation. When Denver heisted the Quebec Nordiques. To the task. And thus did the Rocky Mountain News (RIP) publish a Rick Morrissey piece that began like so:. OH, THAT FACE. RICCI'S MYSTIQUE MELTS WOMEN, LEAVES MEN SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS. The piece ran to 2,159 words. Mike Ricci's face was, ...

Clear the Crease: Patrick Roy Has a Posse
http://clearthecrease.blogspot.com/2014/05/patrick-roy-has-posse.html
Hockey, HEAVY TUNES, and jerks telling you to fuck off. Sunday, May 18, 2014. Patrick Roy Has a Posse. Patrick Roy is in the conversation for best-ever at his position. The beginning and end of the conversation about "pissed-off goalies". A likely winner of the award for 2013-14's best NHL coach, and the definite winner of an award for great coach-dad for that tremendous moment a few years back when he signaled his goalie son to join in a line brawl, resulting in matching father-son suspensions. A few ye...

Clear the Crease: Chris Pronger is funnier than Bob Macajew
http://clearthecrease.blogspot.com/2010/06/chris-pronger-is-funnier-than-bob.html
Hockey, HEAVY TUNES, and jerks telling you to fuck off. Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Chris Pronger is funnier than Bob Macajew. Bob Macajew, among the most insufferable of hockey fans, is losing no time in dancing on Pronger's grave. And, sure, as has been detailed elsewhere- in loving detail- the first minus-five of Pronger's career. Didn't exactly come at an opportune time. But it's his response that makes me esteem Pronger even more highly than I had already. Day to day with hurt feelings". That Was Your Fi...

Clear the Crease: October 2014
http://clearthecrease.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Hockey, HEAVY TUNES, and jerks telling you to fuck off. Sunday, October 12, 2014. Chris Pronger Has a Posse. It was a surprise to me to discover that the first-ever post here on Clear the Crease Mark II concerned Chris Pronger. It wasn't a surprise that that post revolved around Chris Pronger's words, as Pronger has long been one of the most quotable athletes anywhere. Having had the worst game of his remarkable playoff career, and having to discuss it with angle-hungry press release junkies. So Pronger ...

Clear the Crease: Arturs Irbe Has a Posse
http://clearthecrease.blogspot.com/2014/11/arturs-irbe-has-posse.html
Hockey, HEAVY TUNES, and jerks telling you to fuck off. Sunday, November 9, 2014. Arturs Irbe Has a Posse. I thought I was gonna be better than I am. Arturs Irbe came into my life in a deeply mediated way. In the aftermath of Patrick Roy's Statue of Liberty play. The Playoff Fling, in which a sports fan gets excited about a strange team for the duration of their run. ESPN's reliable human-interest-narrative machine. Arturs Irbe had a DIY ethos. I both share and struggle with:. Anyway, in his badly-patche...

Clear the Crease: November 2013
http://clearthecrease.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Hockey, HEAVY TUNES, and jerks telling you to fuck off. Friday, November 8, 2013. Punk Song for Every Owner: Phoenix Coyotes, Seattle. Sorry, everybody. The CtC Punk Songs for Every Owner project marches on, but the work that the Phoenix Coyotes entry requires to do the topic justice is incredible. It's really the whole story of capitalism's uneasy alliance with governmental bureaucracy,. The post-national aspects of sports fandom we discussed the other week. Special (very non-punk) Remix. Phoenix is a s...
