Postcards from the Road

Postcards from the Road

First there was the March on Atlanta, and it was good.
Dan Ellis heard the Thrashers come a’knocking and told them in no uncertain terms that they couldn’t come in.  To be fair, Andropov managed to get a puck past him during second period and thus kept it from being a shutout, but just the one. [...]

The Chris Pronger Effect

The Chris Pronger Effect

It was not long ago when the entire hockey world was split between those that thought Chris Pronger would become an absolute force on the Flyers’ blueline and those who thought the organization overpaid for an older, over-the-hill sloth of a defenseman. More controversy followed when Flyers’ GM Paul Holmgren locked the future Hall-of-Famer up until the age of 42.

January 31: The Day The Leafs Changed?

Sunday, January 31st 2010 will turn out to be a day that most Toronto Maple Leaf fans will not forget anytime soon. After a miserable loss the previous evening, one that saw them blow a 3-0 lead after one to get trounced 5-3 by the Vancouver Canucks, Leafs GM pulled the trigger on two deals that will undoubtedly make a huge impact on the team both now and in the years to come.
