Earlier this month, THW's Mike Coll…
Pittsburgh PenguinsThere sometimes has to be an intermission or a break from the vile fantasy performances of the evening. After all, the material can get old or stale. What would happen then? No one would read this of course. That wouldn’t look too good. I would lose face as a writer but worse, it means being ...
This really has gone to the dogs and that is not a bad thing always. All we keep hearing is just how bad it is getting trying to navigate rosters full of red on people’s spreadsheets. The anger that owners exhibit this time of year borders on sheer lunacy. You never think of issues like ...
This is what it has come to. Yes, the fantasy best of each day, month, and year get lauded all the time but what about those who either disappoint us short or long term. What about those players? There are just some that just play like they are in the doghouse. The most agonizing thing ...
With rumors swirling about possible moves, the hockey world is abuzz wondering who will be changing teams and what deals will be made before the April 3 trade deadline. As far as the players are concerned, there’s not much they can do but wait. The few with no trade clauses might be making up lists ...
It has become the bane of so many. Hit X got this but Hit Y was identical and received nothing. The problem has driven people (fans, media, players, coaches, etc.) bonkers for decades.

While plenty of Pats like LaFontaine, Verbeek, Flatley, Falloon, and Hickey all had respectable ...
A lot has been made this season about the so called Vancouver Canucks goalie controversy. After not being able to unload Roberto Luongo during the off season, the Canucks entered the season with two number one guys in net. They have been alternating starts so far this year and Thursday night during their game with ...
It is an excellent question. Every year it seems people, even media, are just amazed at the sheer volume of injuries. Hockey is a violent sport. If you do not like it, then the door is on the right. This is just how it is. Could more be done to protect players? Maybe. However, ...
Martin Havlat could only stare straight ahead with his mouth open as he lay on the ice. Why? Because all he needed to do was tap the puck into a wide open net that to put his team in the lead. Instead, he celebrated a bit too early. Watch for yourself (play starts at 1:10 ...
Phil Kessel is slumping. This early season has brought us some very odd statistics. Everyone remembers the epic site “DidGomezScore.com“ last season and how Scott Gomez went over a year without putting a puck in the net. For a guy who made as much money as he did, it provided the hockey world with much amusement. ...
