The Legacy Of Bobby Hull

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

‘The Golden Jet’ Bobby Hull was the most feared goal scorer of the’60’s and’70’s and arguably the greatest left wing to ever play professional hockey.

He and Mikita were the first NHL players to use curved stick blades, which made his already wicked slapshot even more difficult to stop. This was a very significant development in pro hockey, and now its rare to find a player that plays with the flat stick blade that was once commonplace before Hull and Mikita’s revolutionary modification.

The Constitutional Case Against The Federal Sports Gambling Ban

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

The Federal ban on sports betting has been blasted by anyone who knows anything about the subject for a number of different reasons.
