There may finally be an answer to the Phoenix Coyotes franchise instability saga at this coming Tuesday evenings Glendale, Arizona city council meeting. Councillors will vote YES or NO on a clause concerning whether they will cover all of the NHL’s losses moving forward, in exchange for the city of Glendale receiving more time to [...]
Finalist nods once more for Crosby and Ovechkin but Henrik Sedin should earn a trip to the podium as the NHL’s most valuable player.
Everyone has a sport record locked in their mind that will live with them forever. Somebody asks a question regarding it; you automatically yell out the player, year, stats and what they accomplished that was so incredible. For myself, it’s Teemu Selanne’s rookie campaign with the Winnipeg Jets in 1992/1993 which stands on top. Maybe [...]
Hockey isn’t over for all cities in Canada. It is alive and well in Winnipeg. The Manitoba Moose have made it to the Calder Cup finals, the AHL’s version of the Stanley Cup, for the first time in franchise history. And the buzz is significant around Winnipeg. Add to that the world spotlight being cast [...]
Gary Bettman hasn’t exactly been Winnipeg’s favourite character since his NHL tenure began in 1993. That’s why it’s so ironic that we may see him in a favourable light as of yesterday. For the past few years I have been assuring supporters of the Return of the Jets Campaign that Winnipeg was higher on the [...]
The NHL won’t speak about it. It’s too embarrassing. At a time of the year when the spotlight shines brightest on hockey the last thing the league needs is more dire news headlines to dim the lights. My guess would be that someone will have to speak about it soon after Lord Stanley has been [...]
After being in Las Vegas this past week, I am more certain than ever that an NHL team in that city would be more of a bust than all my hands at the Blackjack table at the Golden Nugget. First of all, the city is currently taking a massive economic hit from what I experienced. [...]
As the playoffs are set to commence in 3 weeks, the races remain tight for the eight spots in each conference. One thing is certain, out of the league’s six most struggling franchises, four are cetain to miss the playoffs with the other two on the brink of 8th place or bust. This moves their financial [...]
A night that will always be remembered by any Jets fan was “The Peca Hit”. Where were you when Teemu Selanne got clocked so cheaply by Mike Peca that it sent the game into a wild ride of endless bouts and bench wars. Peca would mysteriously disappear from the line-up, as the Cancuks feared for [...]
Pay-cheque deductions: income tax, health coverage, EI insurance…parking?! That is what you’d see as a Tampa Bay Lightning employee. The team is asking all employees to pay to park their car at their own job in an effort to help pay down an annual lease of $250,000 for a piece of property adjacent to the [...]
