PowerPlayGoal.com – Hockey From A Different Angle

Once again; we have reached the time where we anxiously wait to see what move teams make and hope that we can make the playoffs.

Not unlike teams in the NHL, we like to make a few changes during the offseason to our site. Currently, most of these are in the early beta stages; but we have a lot of exciting changes planned and whilst we cannot share some of what we are doing we can share with you an idea of what we are doing:

- Comments are back.
After a long period of time not allowing feedback; we will start allowing you to comment on what we post using your facebook account should you have one (should you not; you can register directly with us)

-Faster loading.
Whislt our site is pretty fast, we are optimizing our site and cleaning it up to improve your experience

-More social.
Whether you want to show your mate how awful something we have said is, or you want to spread the word of something that you thought was awesome you will be able to in a much easier and intuitive system.

Thats just a few of the features we are bringing to the site, and whilst you may notice some lack of content occasionally, or the layout moving to weird places; rest assured it will all be worth it.

We will still aim to post content on at the least a weekly basis; and we hope that you will continue to follow us during the off season!

From my trip to Chicago:

It seems that even the dinosaurs liked hockey. Though sadly, the Ice Age killed them all off; rather than allowing them to have a year long outdoor hockey season.

I am KevKev, and this is What the Puck?

I am currently on vacation in Chicago, which unless your head is still in the sand; won the Cup this year.
The Hawks have been through some very rough times in recent years, and at one stage fans were dropping like flys – and with an NFL, an NBA, Two MLB and a (belch) soccer team; Chicagoians headed elsewhere.
However the last few seasons were good and this year things ended better.
The city of Chicago itself has truly embraced the team as winners. Almost every shop is selling merchandise and even a few restaurants sell fan gear. Be it flags, pucks, t-shirts or pennants; they are here.
Posters adorn windows regardless of whether the shop is open or vacant while electronic signs celebrate the win and banners fly from the lamp posts. Bizarley, even a dinosaur at the field museum is wearing a jersey.
Interestingly, on a trip to a small hockey store named Gunzo’s in Forest Park; a wide range of Detroit merchandise was available, a small memory of the years previous.

This is KevKev – over and out!
