Seven Years Later, It’s Clear That the 2004-05 Season Was Truly Wasted
Aug 23rd
By Sean McCafferty aka 30ranfordfan
My, how time flies! It seems like just a couple of years ago that the 2005-06 NHL season started. The long awaited end to a yearlong lockout had come, and the NHL was ushering in a new era. One with rules that would promote a better, faster, more exciting game. One with a new breed of superstar unlike any we had seen in a generation.
Gone would be the days that clutching and grabbing would impede the NHL’s best players. With the likes of Sidney Crosby & Alexander Ovechkin now the poster boys for the ‘New NHL’,

Give Bettman a Break
May 30th
By Sean McCafferty aka 30ranfordfan
With the Eastern Conference Final now in the books, I know that we hockey fans have a great Stanley Cup final to look forward to, with the New Jersey Devils taking on the Los Angeles Kings. Both teams have performed admirably throughout the first three rounds of the playoffs, so a series with great goaltending and clutch goal scoring should very much be in the cards. In less than a couple of weeks, we’ll all know which team has won the Stanley Cup. Those of us tuning in will get to see what should only be More >
NHL Western Conference Playoff Preview
Mar 29th
By Sean McCafferty aka 30ranfordfan
With teams having about ten games remaining, now appears to be a great time to look back on my early season predictions, see how badly I called this year’s NHL race to unfold, and make a few bold predictions as to what will happen between now and when Lord Stanley’s Mug is handed out.
My early season predictions for the Western Conference had a nice mix of accuracy, and being totally off base. Of the five teams I considered to be playoff locks, four of them are looking very good. Vancouver and Detroit are sitting in very More >

SCF’s Live Chat with ITG’s Dr. Price

by Richard McAdam (aka RGM81) and Sean McCafferty (aka 30ranfordfan)
On January 6, 2012, In The Game President Dr. Brian Price participated in a chat session with members of SCF. Though the initial impetus for Dr. Price reaching out to SCF to have a discussion was the controversy surrounding the upcoming release of ITG Enforcers (for more information about the product, see the official preview here the chat was a wide-ranging affair that covered many bases and shed some interesting light on a variety of topics relevant to collectors.

Panini Really Captured The Spirit of the Thing.
Nov 3rd
By Sean McCafferty aka 30ranfordfan
If the play on Dickie Dunn’s immortal words in the title was lost on you, you probably won’t get. If you’ve never described a penalty as “two minutes, by yourself, you feel shame, and then you get free” you might roll your eyes as your read on. If the words “criminal element” don’t immediately make you think of Ogie Ogilthorpe, some of Panini’s best ideas this year were probably an afterthought for you.
