07.03.09 

The Ed Show



It was trivia night on The Ed Show, plus Franklin called on his way home from the Dodgers game.



07.02.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



Yahoo's Sean Leahy talked NHL free agency, and The Ed stuck around for almost the entire show.



06.29.09 

I Won A Bet



The Pittsburgh Penguins weren't the only winners this year...



06.19.09 

The Ed Show



You know, I was going to write about the NHL Awards Show, but who cares? Chaka Khan and Robin Thicke? Really? Instead, just listen to the latest episode of The Ed Show. It's swell.



06.18.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



The Ed was there right from the start, and then we did another recap of that glorious, glorious Penguin victory with Yahoo's Sean Leahy and a very bitter Matt Diggs. In the second hour, Cousin Brandon and Larry did their Top 11 Game Shows, and we closed things out with some good ol' conspiracy talk.



06.16.09 

A Look Back



Paying tribute to the Stanley Cup champs.



06.14.09 

Drink Like a Champion



WPXI.com has a swell slideshow of the Stanley Cup champs out on the town. No word yet on where the Wings cried last night.



06.14.09 

Don't Cry About It



Nice to see the Red Wings and their fans are as classy as ever...



06.13.09 

Victory!



The Pittsburgh Penguins are Stanley Cup Champions. All together now... (Sunshine) Detroit!



06.13.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



I'll be writing about the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins all weekend, but Larry and I threw together a quick radio show right after the game. Our pal Dave Dameshek even stopped by to join in the fun.



06.12.09 

The Ed Show



Need something to do before Game Seven? Give the newest episode of The Ed Show a whirl. The Ed crowns Miss Ed-USA and talks about his new job delivering meat door-to-door.



06.11.09 

Sidney Crosby Transcript



Kid Crosby also talked to the media. So here's the transcript along with my Game Seven prediction.



06.11.09 

Dan Bylsma Transcript



And here's Dan Bylsma's media transcript. He talks about how he approaches practice and how his life has changed since becoming Pittsburgh head coach, aside from the increased intake of pork BBQ burritos.



06.11.09 

Mike Babcock Transcript



Mike Babcock met with the media on Thursday. Here's the transcript. There's some interesting stuff on Hossa, Rafalski, and even Igor Larionov.



06.11.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



For some reason, BlogTalk didn't record last night's show. Aw, that's BlogTalk being BlogTalk. And it's a shame, because we talked up the Stanley Cup Finals with Red Wings fan Matt Diggs, and Larry spread his own unique brand of optimism for Game Seven. Cousin Brandon never showed, but we still met our Dameshek quota when Dave Dameshek called in to talk about the Penguins and their chances of hoisting the Cup. So maybe gather your friends around and recreate the show on your own.



06.10.09 

Save Fleury!



Game Seven, here we come. And it's all thanks to Marc-Andre Fleury... and Rob Scuderi.



06.09.09 

Nothing To It But To Do It



Why all the doom and gloom? They play seven for a reason.



06.07.09 

Motor City Massacre



That was certainly humiliating.



06.06.09 

Blossoming Flower



Putting Marc-Andre Fleury's accomplishments in perspective.



06.05.09 

Dave Dameshek Podcast



The Dave was kind enough to have me on his podcast this afternoon to talk about the Stanley Cup Finals. Don't forget to visit Dave's 710 ESPN page and sign up to his podcast through the iTunes. Thanks.



06.05.09 

The Ed Show



I actually had to miss that glorious Game Four, but I'll try and write something on the series a little later. Until then, please enjoy a 15-minute edition of The Ed Show.



06.04.09 

Lucky Burrito



The Penguins have a new good luck charm. And this one doesn't sing. Well, at least not until after you eat it.



06.04.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



It was quite the fake radio show. We talked Stanley Cup Finals, "Free Radio," "Stripes," and Shakespeare. And The Ed started his own newspaper. So that's something.



06.03.09 

That's More Like It



The Penguins got a 4-2 win in Game Three to keep hope alive. And, oddly enough, it was their worst game of the series.



06.01.09 

Enough Already!



Jeff Passan is a clown. Does anyone who gets paid to write about hockey know a damn thing about the sport?



06.01.09 

Deja Vu All Over Again



The more things change, the more they stay the same...



05.31.09 

(Sunshine) Detroit



Nice to see the Red Wings still have that horseshoe shoved up their ass.



05.29.09 

Stanley Cup Finals Preview



Gee, I wonder who I'm going to pick?



05.29.09 

The Ed Show



Pastor Reeves heard The Ed was talking bad about him, so he called the show to defend himself against the scurrilous charges.



05.28.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



Detroit fan Matt Diggs and I made a bet about the Stanley Cup Finals, The Ed called several times, and we did our Top 11 "King of Queens" episodes. And don't forget to watch "Free Radio."



05.27.09 

Blown Away



The Penguins made short work of the Hurricanes, beating them 4-1 to complete the sweep and earn a return trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. There was much rejoicing.



05.24.09 

Shameful



Chicago was terrible in Game Four. And it's hard to believe, because Joel Quenneville seems like such a great leader. And, yes, that is sarcasm.



05.24.09 

No Fair



Carolina and Pittsburgh would be a great series... if the Penguins didn't have Geno Malkin and Kid Crosby.



05.22.09 

The Ed Show



No time to write about the Pens at the moment, but please enjoy the latest installment of The Ed Show. It's Edtastic.



05.21.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



Dave Dameshek and Cousin Brandon battle Larry in "Rocky IV" trivia. Plus, we talk hockey, learn what's in The Ed's garage, and find out baseball is Rafael Belliard's game.



05.19.09 

Flower Power



The Penguins were awful in Game One, but Marc-Andre Fleury saved the day.



05.18.09 

Where Have All the Shadows Gone?



The shadow is solid gone in today's NHL. Is it due to the rule changes? Or was the tactic itself retired in honor of Esa Tikkanen?



05.17.09 

Backstrom Agrees



Remember how I just said Crosby is better than Ovechkin? Well, Nicklas Backstrom agrees.



05.17.09 

King Crosby



I talked about it a lot on the last fake radio show, but I had to write something about the Crosby-Ovechkin finale.



05.16.09 

Conference Finals Preview



Here's a quick look at the two Conference Finals. Could we have a rematch from last year?



05.15.09 

The Ed Show



I'll recap the Game Sevens and preview the Conference Finals this weekend. But in the meantime, enjoy the latest episode of The Ed Show. The Ed's pal Dave Dameshek makes an appearance.



05.14.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



Kid Crosby and the Pens stuck it to those filthy Capitals in Game Seven. We were live on the air for the third period. And it was glorious.



05.12.09 

Wow



The Caps were a might impressive in gritting out a stunning 5-4 OT win in Pittsburgh. And the Hawks are into the Campbell Conference Finals thanks to a wild third period.



05.10.09 

Crosby, Malkin Make Difference



Pittsburgh made it three straight, escaping Washington with a 4-3 overtime win thanks to its two superstars.



05.09.09 

Down Goes Drago



Pittsburgh's Game Four victory was another mistake-filled contest, but at least Simeon Varlamov made most of the mistakes.



05.08.09 

The Ed Show



The Ed did push-ups live on the air and talked to a bunch of his pals, including Dick Banks and Security Guy Irv. The Ed also answered questions from the Dameshek.com message boards and tried to get a job selling insurance. He ended the show by challenging The Baby to a fight.



05.07.09 

Enter Malkin



Pittsburgh's not done yet. Evgeni Malkin reminded everyone why he belongs in the great Crosby-Ovechkin debate with a brilliant performance in Game Three.



05.07.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



Earl Sleek from Battle of California returned to talk about how the Ducks are going to stomp those filthy Red Wings. And Larry did his Top 11 "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episodes. Pretty, pretty good.



05.06.09 

That's a Shame



Quick whistles are awesome. And the Coyotes could be solid gone.



05.06.09 

Dave Dameshek Podcast



I was on our pal Dave's podcast on Tuesday to talk about the Pens-Caps series. I also slipped in some "Deadliest Warrior" talk. You know you want to listen.



05.05.09 

This Is the Playoffs, Right?



Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby both bagged hat tricks, but don't let the superstar heroics fool you. Bad hockey is still bad hockey. And both teams have been dreadful.



05.04.09 

Don't Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth



Three road teams have managed to capture a game on enemy ice. And if the Caps continue their charitable ways, the Pens will keep things rolling.



05.03.09 

The Ed Show



I just realized I forgot to link to the most recent episode of The Ed Show. So if you missed it, give it a whirl...



04.30.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



I've still been under the weather and whatnot, so if you want recaps of the Game Sevens and our preview of Round Two, you'll have to listen to the big fake radio show. Lucky you.



04.28.09 

It Happens Every Spring



Wasn't this supposed to be the year San Jose won the Cup? Oh well.



04.28.09 

Teemu-Cheechoo Tribute



Well, the Sharks choked again. Shocking, I know. But until I get a chance to write something about it, here's our pal Dave Dameshek singing about the end of Teemu and Cheechoo.



04.27.09 

Blame Tortorella



I picked the Rangers in six, and it was all going according to Hoyle until John Tortorella screwed things up.



04.26.09 

Talbot TKOs Philly



The Broad Street Buttercups are going home, and it's all because they won a fight. God bless irony.



04.25.09 

Fey's a Fox!



Yes we can! Dave Dameshek finally respected the will of the people, allowing Tina Fey into the Land of the Fox where she belongs. And Dave even found time to take another shot at Scott Hartnell. Nice.



04.24.09 

Barry Melrose Interview



Our pal Dave Dameshek interviewed Barry Melrose today. Give it a whirl. You know, I once saw Melrose buy a hot dog on the streets of Hartford...



04.24.09 

The Ed Show



I'm still under the weather, and we've got all sorts of house-buying grief at the moment, so no time for hockey. But let me just say Dan Bylsma's decision to bench Letang and Sykora for Game Five was Mike Milbury dumb. Not dressing Godard for Game Three was stupid, but this was a special kind of idiotic. Oh well. At least there's a new episode of The Ed Show.



04.23.09 

Scott Hartnell Song



Since we had to cancel the fake radio show last night, we also had to scrap our plans to make fun of Scott Hartnell. But thankfully, our pal Dave Dameshek picked up the slack. Billy Joel never sounded so good.



04.20.09 

Same Old Sorry Sharks?



I'm a bit under the weather at the moment, but here are a few quick thoughts on the Sharks, Caps, and Flyers. And don't forget to Vote Fey.



04.18.09 

Vote Fey... Again!



Yeah, the playoffs are in full swing, but there's a more important matter at hand.



04.17.09 

Dave and Teemu



Prior to Anaheim's 2-0 win last night over the Fish, our pal Dave Dameshek interviewed the great Teemu Selanne. Dave even played some of his wonderful Teemu-Cheechoo songs for the Finnish Flash. It's good stuff. Now if only I can get Mark Linn-Baker to come on our show and listen to the songs I wrote about him.



04.17.09 

The Ed Show



The Ed's job walking dogs came to an unfortunate end. He also talked about his latest doctor's appointment, introduced his new Super Deluxe Pick a Winner game, and played two new songs.



04.16.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



Yahoo's Sean Leahy previewed the NHL playoffs with us and did his Top 11 Breakfast Cereals. And Leahy loves crunchy orange balls. The Ed stopped by and rolled around in the grass. Then Cousin Brandon battled Larry in "Brewster's Millions" trivia.



04.14.09 

Playoff Preview: Wales Conference



All the favorites are going to advance, right? Not so fast, Washington.



04.13.09 

Playoff Preview: Campbell Conference



Vancouver is a lock. Anaheim and Calgary could pull off upsets, but I'm still picking the favorites.



04.12.09 

NHL Adjusted Point Totals



It seems people dig the crazy math, so I adjusted all the top scoring seasons in NHL history to the points-per-game average from 1985-86 when Gretzky set the record. It's some wild, wild stuff.



04.12.09 

NHL News and Notes



Franzen re-signs and Lemaire splits.



04.10.09 

The Ed Show



The Ed finds out he's getting cheated at his new dog walking job.



04.09.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



We were able to talk a little hockey between The Ed's repeated phone calls.



04.09.09 

Dave Dameshek Podcast



Despite our best efforts, Tina Fey was denied entry into the Land of the Fox. Shameful. Just shameful.



04.04.09 

Putting Green in Perspective



Mike Green's 30 goals in today's NHL are all the more impressive when compared to the historic seasons of Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey, who both played during higher-scoring eras.



04.04.09 

NHL Adjusted Goal Totals



Yet another Suite 101 thing. This time, I adjusted the best goal-scoring seasons in NHL history to place them in the context of 1981-82 when Gretzky set the record.



04.03.09 

The Ed Show



In a truly memorable episode, Dick Banks stops by to unveil three songs he recorded with The Ed.



04.02.09 

The Great Debate Continues



That Gretzky-Lemieux article I wrote for Suite 101 is gettin' all sorts of feedback, and some are wondering if Gretzky and the Oilers were solely responsible for driving up the league scoring average during the early 1980s. And, well, no. They weren't. Read all about it.



04.02.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



The Ed tells us about the price of various food items at a spring training baseball game, Cousin Brandon stops by to talk about Tina Fey and being a Red Sox fan, and then we go Around BlogTalk with some Rob Van Dam.



04.01.09 

The Brilliance of Bobby Orr



Here's another article I wrote for that Suite 101 place. This one looks at Bobby Orr's ridiculous scoring numbers. I put them into 1985-86 terms to compare them to Paul Coffey, and then I update them to today's standard to compare them to what Mike Green is doing.



03.31.09 

The Greatest One: Gretzky or Lemieux?



Here's an article I wrote for the freelance site Suite 101. They have their own peculiar formatting and whatnot, so don't blame me. But the story shows how Gretzky's scoring numbers are inflated due to the era in which he played. When the numbers are adjusted according to the league's overall goals-per-game average, Lemieux's stats are superior across the board.



03.31.09 

Notice: Things Are Changing



A few changes are coming to LCS.



03.30.09 

Trumps Never Quit



The Buffalo Donald Trumps won't go down without a fight. But it might be too little, too late.



03.27.09 

Vote Fey!



I was on our pal Dave Dameshek's podcast yesterday to announce Tina Fey's candidacy for the Land of the Fox. And I need your help. Yes we can!



03.27.09 

The Ed Show



More fake radio gold. The Baby, Franklin, and Security Guy Irv all make appearances.



03.26.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



The Ed, Zippy, and Captain Justice all made appearances. I also did my first ever fantasy baseball auction draft during the show. Yeehaw.



03.23.09 

The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh



The Pittsburgh Penguins have a new fight song. Tell your friends.



03.21.09 

The Ed Show



The Ed makes fake radio history every week. This time he visits a McDonald's drive-thru.



03.20.09 

Send in the Clown



Who wants to punch Alexander Ovechkin in the face? The line forms behind me.



03.19.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



Captain Justice, The Ed, and Cousin Brandon. That's a full show.



03.17.09 

All Overlooked Team



No one's really noticed, but these guys have had some swell seasons.



03.16.09 

Roy Still King



Martin Brodeur is about to break Patrick Roy's wins record. But I've seen Patrick Roy play. Patrick Roy is a friend of mine. And, Martin Brodeur, you're no Patrick Roy.



03.13.09 

The Ed Show



Don't forget to listen to The Ed Show. And tell one friend about it. Because if you don't do it, then you can't do it, and it won't get done.



03.12.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



I'm going back to linking to a page on our site with the BlogTalk player, and maybe that will calm Google's ass down. But we did our Top 11 Mr. Show skits. So give it a whirl if you're a fan of the Bob and David.



03.09.09 

Advantage Crosby



Not much time to write hockey this week, but I had to comment on that Pens-Caps game. It counts towards my court-imposed community service.



03.05.09 

The Bettmans



Episode Three premiered on last night's fake radio show. Tell your friends.



03.05.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



We recapped the trade deadline, and then Larry and Cousin Brandon squared off in "Ghostbusters" trivia. And it was a tight one.



03.04.09 

Dullsville



That was great. When's the real trade deadline?



03.03.09 

Teams to Watch



Here are the five clubs I'll be watching at the deadline. Well, technically I'll be watching reruns of "Columbo," but these five teams should be up to some monkeyshine come Wednesday.



03.02.09 

Brodeur Conference Call



Martin Brodeur chatted it up with NHL media this afternoon, yapping about his return from injury, his place among the all-time greats, and other stuff.



03.02.09 

NHL News and Notes



More randomness, including Bill Guerin, the Pens approaching the deadline, Jason Spezza, and those wonderful, wonderful Nashville Predators. (Sunshine) Detroit!



02.27.09 

NHL News and Notes



Topics include Whitney with the Ducks, the Pens hitting the road, Ryder making his mark in Boston, and little Stevie Sullivan scoring like a chimp.



02.27.09 

The Ed Show



Our pal The Ed tries to get a cleaning franchise and then calls about a job selling books and magazines door to door. Oh, and he's also in an adult baseball league.



02.26.09 

Whitney Solid Gone



Ryan Whitney got traded for Chris Kunitz. Could Jordan Staal be next?



02.26.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



We start out talking hockey with Ace Reporter Jim Iovino, touching on the big Pens-Caps rivalry. Then our pal The Ed stopped by to battle Larry in "Seinfeld" trivia. After that, it was back to hockey before closing out the show with an "AroundBlogTalk" dedicated to Eklund. And I'd rate the segment an E5 for comedy gold. Eklund is very good.



02.24.09 

Jacques Martin Conference Call



The NHL had a bunch of conference calls on Monday. Here's the transcript for Jacques Martin's. He talks about Jay Bouwmeester and whatnot. Sadly, no one asks him if he eats cats. I'm just sayin' he looks like ALF, that's all.



02.23.09 

Shoot the Puck!



The latest entry in my ongoing campaign to convince Kid Crosby to shoot the puck, and this time I've got some real wizard stats.



02.21.09 

Picks to Burn



Which teams have draft picks available to move at the trade deadline?



02.20.09 

The Ed Show



The Ed took calls from his fans and then tried to enroll in school to become a court reporter. More fake radio gold. And don't forget to visit The Ed's Super Deluxe Web Site.



02.19.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



Yahoo's Sean Leahy filled in for Jim Loveno during the hockey portion of the show, talking about the Penguins, Canadiens, Thrashers, and his love for Hell's Kitchen. The Ed stopped by to talk about baby powder in his underpants and a new lady friend. We closed things out with another award-winning "Around BlogTalk" segment.



02.18.09 

Mike Green Conference Call



Mike Green had a conference call with NHL media yesterday. He talks about breaking Paul Coffey's record, his man-love for Bruce Boudreau, and his complete ignorance of the term "rover."



02.17.09 

The Islanders? Really?



Yeah, the Pens lost 3-2 to the Islanders in Dan Bylsma's first game, but c'mon. The Isles are very good.



02.16.09 

It's About Time



Hey, who woke up Ray Shero?



02.15.09 

Olympic Countdown Begins



We're less than a year away from the 2010 Winter Olympics. Wow, 2010. Shouldn't we have flying cars by now?



02.13.09 

The Ed Show



In the first episode of Season Two, The Ed welcomes wrestling legend the Ultimate Warrior, discussing Warrior's favorite ice cream toppings and the frequency with which he does yard work. Then The Ed tries to get a job. Fake radio gold. And don't forget to sign up for The Ed's Super Deluxe Hockey Game II.



02.12.09 

Jim Loveno Talks to Kids



On last night's radio show, Ace Reporter Jim Iovino told us how he travels the countryside mentoring America's youth. Well, here's a first-hand account of his fine work.



02.12.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



We talked the hockey, discussing Pens-Sharks, Mike Green's scoring binge, and Ilya Kovalchuk possibly staying in Atlanta. The Ed gave our buddy Frenchy advice on the ladies. Jim Iovino informed us about his cross-country speaking tours. And then Cousin Brandon battled Larry in John Hughes trivia, focusing on "The Breakfast Club," "Weird Science," and "Sixteen Candles."



02.10.09 

Tim Thomas Conference Call



The NHL held a conference call with Tim Thomas yesterday. Timmy talks about facing the Sharks tonight, his reduced workload in Beantown, and his unique goaltending style. Aw, Timmy's the tops.



02.09.09 

That Sucked



The Pens lost to those filthy Red Wings, Sean Avery clears waivers, and Mike Green is real wizard.



02.06.09 

The Ed's Super Deluxe Hockey Game



Our pal The Ed is back with his second Super Deluxe Hockey Game. It's free to play, and you can win valuable prizes like The Ed's Official Super Deluxe Home Game and a Todd McFarlane hockey man. Follow that link to sign up over at the Dave Dameshek message boards. The game starts March 1. Tell your friends.



02.05.09 

LCS Hockey Radio Show



Yahoo's Sean Leahy spent the first hour with us, talking hockey, Don Mattingly, "Hell's Kitchen," and some "Seinfeld" trivia. Then Larry and I discussed the Super Bowl and why we're not really Steeler fans. The Ed stopped by in the final 15 minutes to tell us about getting paid to test products. And after the show, I realized I mistakingly referred to Dallas Cowboys tight end Jackie Smith as "Jackie Harris." Wow, I must have watched more "Roseanne" than I care to admit...



02.04.09 

Ryan Rolling



Bobby Ryan is sticking it to all the doubters. Kevin Lowe, I'm looking in your direction.



02.03.09 

Langenbrunner Conference Call



I just saw Jamie Langenbrunner had a conference call yesterday. So here he is talking about his goal-scoring binge and whatnot.



02.03.09 

Caps v. Devils



Big game tonight. Bolts at Islanders! Oh, and I guess the Caps are playing the Devils, too.



02.02.09 

Wingers Wanted



It's the same old tune in Pittsburgh, the Sens fire the wrong guy, and I like Sheldon Souray.
