Road trip day 1: I crashed a wedding party in Ann Arbor
Yesterday I finally began this road trip I have been yapping about for a bit too long now, and boy day one did not disappoint. After some sad goodbyes to my parents and our sickly cat, I got a haircut and hit the road toward the beautiful Ann Arbor. The drive My route had me […]
What makes Western New York special
While my time back in Western New York was short this time, it really gave me a newfound love and appreciation for the place I call home. I am about to depart for my cross-country trip, and I can’t help but to be overcome by some emotion. For most of my life, there has been […]
What having NHL credentials is like
I had the incredible opportunity to intern for the Pittsburgh Penguins this past year, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I have been covering the Sabres for Trainwreck Sports and our Crossing Swords Podcast page for a few years now and always wondered how coverage changes with credentials. With the […]
The universe wants me to go to Arkansas
I have been doing some last-minute research on my upcoming road trip and I just keep getting signs that I need to be going to Arkansas. I feel as though I am getting a similar feeling that Joseph Smith (yes, that Joseph Smith who created the Mormon religion) got when he moved from Western New […]
Harrison Butker should stay in his lane
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker certainly made the most of his time as the commencement speaker at Benedictine College. The majority of Butker’s speech surrounded the importance of faith in his life, but comments on how women should view themselves in society and the “sins” of the LGBTQ+ community are beyond disheartening to see […]
Is it safe to tame a baby opossum?
I know that the obvious answer to this is no, but I need all of us to pool our brains together and find a way to make this work. I’ve been back home for a few days now, and was in the mindset to find a cat to take back to Pittsburgh (we all know […]
Happy Mother’s Day to the hockey moms
As Mother’s Day 2024 comes to a close, I just want to thank all of the hockey moms (and non-hockey moms) out there. For hockey moms, there is no offseason. I remember far too many Mother’s Days when my mom would have to drive me over an hour each way for me to get on […]
Alex Tuch will be the next Vincent Trocheck
It feels like every year during the playoffs, some player who is not normally talked about garners the attention of the national media. Matt Belesky, Adam Henrique, Bryan Bickell, Nic Paul, and Tyler Johnson (thanks Garth and Ryan for the help) all had big playoff runs that resulted in them becoming bigger names. During this […]
All I want is a cat, yet I’m cursed
I’ll cut right to the chase for today. I am cursed. As silly as this may sound (this is serious) I am cursed by the cat gods. My roommate and I have each been trying to get a cat for some time now and keep hitting roadblock after roadblock. As someone who has always grown […]
We need to talk about wings
Everyone in Buffalo has opinions on three things: the Bills, the Sabres, and where the best place is to get wings. The internet was abuzz yesterday as Bar-Bill has really become the only place suggested by folks within the Bills organization (hell of a marketing ploy if they are doing that). But why has Bar-Bill […]
