Hockey's Sheriff: The Enforcer
With the passing of Bob Probert, I asked FanTake Hockey lead, ColoradoAg to give us an obit and discussion of the role of enforcer past, present and future in the game. He nails it. Enjoy. -- S.R. I was saddened to hear of the passing of former Detroit Red Wing (and later Chicago Blackhawk)...
Playoff Puck Primer
ColoradoAg from Spence Park Soapbox is going to be the hockey guy for the FanTake network. I asked him to get us caught up a little bit on what's going on in the playoffs and he obliged over at SPSB and I wanted to share it here. Some of this was written before some of the games and series...
