Columbus Discovers Irbe You heard it here first. A few days ago I wondered why teams would take a chance on Dominik Hasek and not someone like Arturs Irbe. Columbus answered the bell and traded for him I'm guessing he'll be backing up starter Marc Denis, with the hope he'll emerge as a starter or push Denis to greater heights. I'm curious what this means for Fred Brathwaite, Denis' backup last season, who only had four wins in 21 games. Irbe was actually playing in the ECHL last year, so he's a pretty big risk. Who knows if he's ready for the NHL. Or if he'll ever be ready. So maybe Columbus will hold onto a few goalies and see who floats and who sinks. Posted by Steven Ovadia on Thursday, June 17, 2004, 08:40 AM Eat Puck Awww geez. Everyone's piling on hockey. Now it's the competitive eaters. The New York Post 's infamous Page Six had an item on how ESPN is going to air the annual Fourth of July hot dog-eating contest from Coney Island. Fine, right? Yeah. Until the trash talking starts. Richard Shea, the president of the International Federation of Competitive Eating told Page Six We have clearly passed the NHL in popularity I think he's being tongue-in-cheek but it still hurts. Especially since Shea fronts a sport that any of my relatives can utterly dominate on any given holiday.

Leagues June 16, 2004 BLUE JACKETS ACQUIRE GOALTENDER ARTURS IRBE FROM CAROLINA Two-Time All-Star was centerpiece of Hurricanes' run to 2002 Stanley Cup Finals COLUMBUS, OHIO - The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired two-time All-Star goaltender Arturs Irbe from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for future considerations, Blue Jackets President and General Manager Doug MacLean announced today. Irbe, 37, has appeared in 568 career NHL games during his 13-year career, posting 218 wins, 33 shutouts and a 2.83 career goals-against average.  Irbe's 218 wins are the second-most by a European-born goaltender in NHL history, trailing only Dominik Hasek's 296 wins.  Irbe appeared in 10 games with Carolina this season, recording a 5-2-1 record with a 2.45 goals-against average and .899 save percentage. "Arturs Irbe is a proven National Hockey League goaltender who has played in two All-Star Games and led Carolina to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2002," said MacLean.  "He is coming off an outstanding performance at this year's World Championships and we felt this was a good opportunity for us to add a proven veteran to our mix at that position." A native of Riga, Latvia, Irbe has been a regular on the Latvian National Team, including the 2004 World Championships where he registered a 2-1-2 record with a 1.80 goals-against average and .925 save percentage. He was named one the three best players for Latvia by the team coaches and his only loss came in a 34-save effort against silver medalist Sweden in the Quarterfinals.

Michael Lyons K ristaps Cerps slides up to a puck in a ramshackle hockey rink in post-communist Latvia and fires it across the ice into an unguarded net. “Latvijas uzvaras!” the 12-year-old shouts. “Latvia wins!” He, like many other youngsters in this historically hockey-crazed nation of 2.5 million people, dreams of playing for Latvia’s national team, which made a respectable showing at the 2002 Winter Olympics. But by the time he’d even be old enough to play on the national team, many Latvians fear it’ll be a mere shadow of what it is today: that is, a team still capable of competing with the very best hockey squads in the world. Since Latvia regained independence, there’s been precious little money to develop hockey and to keep good players at home. Aging’s also a factor. Latvia’s team was one of the oldest to take part in the Olympics, with the average age of its players at 31; several say they’ll soon retire. “I don’t see many young players who can replace them,” said Arturs Vaiders, sports editor for
