Mummy-lympics?: This really has nothing to do with hockey, but I had no other place to bring this up. A week or so ago, Mrs. PuckUpdate and I were at the movies and saw this crazy commercial for the Olympics and...... , posted on August 05, 2008 more

The Olympics Are Never Over; Hockey Guys Are Nice: Yesterday's Times had an interesting take on the Rangers' implosion, blaming the Olympics. So here's my updated Olympics vs. Playoffs chart: The chart still says that the Olympics didn't negatively impact all teams. Colorado did just fine with their 10...... , posted on May 03, 2006 more

Turin Forever: The Olympics were an interesting event for the NHL. Colorado had 10 players go to the Olympics (the most in the NHL), and just clinched the first round over Dallas, who sent seven players. The New York Rangers had nine...... , posted on April 30, 2006 more

Make Trade Fair: Tim Panaccio's solution to this whole 'What should the NHL do about the Olympics' debate? It's pretty smart, actually. He says to move hockey to the summer Olympics (login info.). Just like basketball. I don't know how the whole ice...... , posted on March 06, 2006 more

Olympics Finally End: Larry Brooks just nominated Chris Chelios to run USA Hockey (login info.). Run it? He might still be playing for them in the next Olympics. I really didn't think he looked especially slow in Turin. At least no slower than...... , posted on February 27, 2006 more

Endorsements: I love how the Penguins need slot machines to stay in Pittsburgh. Does anyone smell a Gretzky family endorsement? Speaking of endorsements, if I were WD-40, I'd be going after Mike Modano: US Hockey may not be a well-oiled machine,...... , posted on February 24, 2006 more

US Gets Gold...In Kvetching: I have to admit, I haven't been the biggest fan of the Olympics this year. It could be lingering loyalties from hosting TODAY for 18 days with Bryant Gumbel. Jane Pauley, you see, lost a bit of a flutter to...... , posted on February 23, 2006 more

A Broken Clock is Right Twice a Day: I'm kind of glad Bryant Gumbel's REAL SPORTS comments on the Olympics seem to be picking up steam around the blogosphere. It's a very interesting discussion. Gumbel took the Olympics to task for a number of things. Being boring. Being...... , posted on February 17, 2006 more

Canada: 'Everyone But Todd Gets an A': FYI, even with the Olympics, hockey business goes on. The Stars claimed a player off waivers, thus getting Jeremy Stevenson for half price from Nashville (login info.). I think since goalie Tim Thomas snuck through waivers for Boston, teams are...... , posted on February 16, 2006 more
