  • When In Doubt, Decapitate (Er, Don’t)

    At the fundamental level hockey is a pretty simple sport.  Boil away the details and you're left with pretty simple steps.  When on offense: 1) Pass 2) Shoot 3) Score When on defense try to prevent your opponent from doing the above.  If you fail at that, generally the rule is "Don't let them" [...]

    Last week I wrote on Obama's declining popularity and the hidden story the polls tell: There is something else to the polls besides what they say.  If you look at them together they tell a hell of a story.  Originally only Rasmussen had Obama below 50%.  Then Quinnipiac did and then [...]
