March 17 – Day 157 – No green here
Top o’ the mornin’ to you, or whatever people say today to fool themselves into believing they’re Irish. I’m obviously infatuated with the holiday. One thing I actually enjoy is hockey, and I think that’s something we can all get behind. A perfect 10 games are on today’s schedule, starting with Chicago at Buffalo (NHLN)…

Merkle’s Weekly Bumblings: Week 15
Skater of the Week: Brad Marchand You may not (probably don’t) like him, but the Little Ball of Hate doesn’t give a damn about what you like. He’s gonna score on your team, and you’re gonna deal with it. The league’s premiere super-pest tallied two goals and five assists in four contests this week, made arguably…

January 12 – Day 97 – Gagner is “to win” in French, so…
There’s one more day until the first wave of byes end! Get ready for an explosion of games tomorrow! However, that still means today’s list of matchups is rather short. Only five pucks are going to be dropped this evening, starting with two at 7 p.m. (Vancouver at Columbus and Calgary at Florida) and Washington…

January 11 – Day 96 – Seeing red
Usually Thursdays are among the busiest days of the week, but this particular edition doesn’t quite fit the bill with only three East Coast games to offer. Like it usually does, the action begins at 7 p.m. with a pair of contests (Columbus at Buffalo [SN] and Carolina at Washington [NHLN]), but the nightcap –…

December 8 – Day 65 – James Neal loves gold
Welcome to your favorite day of the work week: Friday. Time to settle in for a weekend of online Christmas shopping while watching hockey. There’s a small, but solid, selection of five games to watch this evening, starting with two (Columbus at New Jersey and the New York Rangers at Washington [NHLN/SN/TVAS]) at 7 p.m.,…

December 4 – Day 61 – They’re currently in line for the postseason, but…
For the second day in a row, the NHL has scheduled only four games in a row. While a limited schedule makes it easier to keep an eye on everything, it does make it a slow night for our fantasy teams, doesn’t it? What’s really nice about tonight’s slate is that all four games have…

November 17 – Day 45 – It’s the Rick Nash/Torts game
Hopefully you’re not interested in going to a hockey game this evening if you live on the West Coast, because there’s not a single game happening in the NHL west of the Wabash River. Now that you’re done looking up where the Wabash River is, I regret to inform you tonight’s limited geography in the…

November 15 – Day 43 – Heading in opposite directions
We’re halfway through the month of November and only a week away from American Thanksgiving, an important benchmark in the NHL for separating the men from the boys in terms of probable playoff teams. Though it wouldn’t seem it with over four months of play remaining, this is a pivotal week. Calgary makes its yearly…

November 8 – Day 36 – It’s a whole new month
It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means: it’s supposedly rivalry night in the NHL. At least that’s what I’ve been told by Doc Emrick… The action finds its start at 7:30 p.m. this evening with Minnesota at Toronto (SN/TVAS), followed half an hour later by Boston at the New York Rangers (NBCSN). After that…
