Earlier this month, THW's Mike Coll…
Pittsburgh PenguinsI have been a supporter of Phil Kessel since he arrived in November of 2009 via Brian Burke’s first blockbuster trade. The honeymoon is over, though. I am not discrediting what he has meant to the team, what he has contributed and his commitment. There is nothing wrong with the way he has played or ...
The Ottawa Senators weren’t projected to go this far in the playoffs, let alone make the playoffs after they learned they would be without Jason Spezza for the regular season. Daniel Alfredsson is getting older, what about Anderson in net, look at their blueline with only Chris Philips and Erik Karlsson leading the charge, yadda, ...
It might be that disastrous collapse in game 7 of the first round. It also might be the fact that their number one goalie and captain have just one year left of their deals. Dave Nonis faced many questions as General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday at locker clean out day.
Game 7. It is the most heart-wrenching 60 minutes of hockey you will experience until overtime. Then, it is downright torture. A Maple Leafs hockey fan- and I’m not talking about the ones that come out of the woodwork and jump on the bandwagon posting Facebook statuses revealing their lack of knowledge- has gone through ...
Twitter has become an online destination for fans of any sport of congregate. It creates a community that not only brings fans together, but is home to some pretty awesome comedy and chirping. That being said, why tell you what happened in game 6 of the Leafs/Bruins series when I can give you the highlights ...
It’s not over ’til it’s over. For the Toronto Maple Leafs… it’s not over, yet. They’ve managed to drop both home games and win two on the road to stay behind in the series 3-2. The Boston Bruins seem to be… not the Bruins who dominated the Leafs all season. That being said, the Leafs ...
Who could ever fault a team for squeaking into the playoffs and making the best of their situation? How could you justify knocking a team who seized an opportunity for their franchise and won the Stanley Cup in a complete surprise? I don’t think you could find a hockey fan that would deny those are ...
It’s not the fact that a player was hit. It’s not the fact that Raphael Diaz fed Lars Eller a pass that led to the hit. It’s the fact that there was nothing wrong with the hit Gryba delivered with disastrous results to Lars Eller. You can throw around phrases like “suicide pass”, “no respect”, ...
If your team didn’t make the playoffs this year, every cap to the season will start by saying it was a disappointing season. It was. There were expectations, there was hype, there was a blockbuster trade; that doesn’t secure wins. More often than not, blockbuster trades don’t live up to their expectations. Fans and analysts ...
Sometimes things don’t always work out the way you wanted them to. Sometimes things don’t work out the way they were supposed to, or the way 99% of NHL fans predicted. Case and point: the 2012-13 Carolina Hurricanes. Fresh new season for Head Coach Kirk Muller to work with, a couple new studs working up front ...
