PowerPlayGoal.com Loves… Seeing Sidney Crosby Fail.

November 08, 2010   kevkev   No comments

Here at PowerPlayGoal.com its very easy to feel that we are always on the negative; be it moaning about fans or talking smack about a logo shaped like a bin.
However we aren’t all storm clouds and anger; and in this section we share with you something we love. In this episode we take some time to remember some moments when Sidney Crosby hasn’t been so great.

1. Crosby’s first fight.

Taking place Thursday 20th December 2007; Crosby puts up a good fight at first; but Andrew Ference was just that much better than him.

2. Crosby gets injured.

Taking out your “biggest” threat in game is a bad tactic to rely on; but it never hurt. Well except whoever your taking out.

3. Crosby and the hats.

To celebrate Ovechkin scoring a hat-trick; the crowd throws hats onto the ice in a traditional manner. Guess who doesn’t like it.

4. Crosby gets picked on.

The constant battle between who gets more hype; Crosby or Ovechkin gets personal and it results in tears.

5. Crosby gets hit

Its always entertaining to see big hits in the NHL and this one is huge.

I hope you enjoyed this episode of PowerPlayGoal.com Loves; and rest assured we will be be back soon with something else that we actually like.

PowerPlayGoal.com Loves… Boston Bruins Hockey Commercials

May 27, 2010   kevkev   No comments

Welcome to PowerPlayGoal.com loves, the section on PowerPlayGoal.com where we don’t blame all our problems with hockey on Gary Bettman, The Phoenix Coyotes, or to there not being a team in Kansas.

Today, we pay tribute to a bunch of adverts that the Boston Bruins created, playing on the term “hockey rules”. The advertising is simple; don’t mess with the rules, else the Boston Bruins mascot is going to make your life a little more akward. Despite the adverts not being real; it is a real shame, as the advert series speaks to all those people we like to complain about over in The Definitive Fan; well the ones that annoy us anyway.

First up, those people who insist on tucking in their hockey jerseys. Why?

Next, and my personal favourite; a lesson for those of you who spend all the time on their phone rather than watching the game:

And, to those of you who are thinking of leaving the game just because you want to beat the rush…

Don’t sleep with the enemy…

And finally I cannot help but feel that the idea of a bear using a urinal is a little odd:

So yes, as seen above; violate these rules and some guy in a giant bear costume is going to come and beat the shit out of you (or show you the way to the nearest furry gathering)

PowerPlayGoal.com Loves… Goalie Mask Art

March 29, 2010   kevkev   No comments

Not everything is negative. That’s why we here at PowerPlayGoal.com feel its time to show you some of the things we love about hockey.

In this edition, we look at something some people don’t really take that much time to think about – The artwork designs on Goalies helmets. Excluding the period after a trade, rookies, and goalies that are happy to make do with a plain white mask with the teams logo stuck onto it.

We look a little bit further here at PowerPlayGoal.com and here are a selection of our favourites from the recent years.

Johan Hedburg – Atlanta Thrashers

This rather lively design contains elements from his previous masks throughout his careers as a goaltender.

Dwayne Roloson – New York Islanders

Sure, the Islanders aren’t the greatest team right now; and they did recently have an epic loss of 5-0 to local rivals the New York Rangers but at least they win when it comes to having an awesome goalie mask.

Tukka Rask – Boston Bruins

Finnish born Tukka Rask’s goalie mask shows off more attitude than the audition line for the next “WWE superstar”; and fortunately, is certainly much less pretentous.

Dan Ellis – Nashville Predators

One of my favourite masks comes from the person who designed Dan Ellis’ mask.

Steve Mason – Colombus Blue Jackets

Playing towards the roots of the Columbus blue jackets name is net-minder Steve Mason’s goalie mask.

Ilya Bryzgalov – Phoenix Coyotees

This helmet depicts a lonesome night in what we presume is the Arizona Desert at night accompanied by coyotes howling at the moon.
