Top 10 Moments in Vancouver Hockey History
Canucks fans are proud of their team and its history so, naturally, the best way to rile up a Canucks fan is to mention the lack of a Stanley Cup in the franchise. Unfortunately for those who want to rile up said Canucks fans, I am here to provide a list of the best moments ...
The case for the World Cup of Hockey
This is a debate that will creep up on us every four years, and fade into oblivion in non-Olympic years. This is the debate on the future of International hockey competition, and whether the National Hockey League needs to commit to Olympic participation, or sneak away from the midseason–usually overseas–schedule and produce their own world tournament, the World Cup?
Three Crazy Ideas for the Bruins
By Mike Miccoli, Boston Bruins correspondent
The Boston Bruins winning streak remains at four as the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver pauses all NHL action. Yes, you read that right. The Bruins are on a four-game winning streak; second longest in the NHL below the basement-dwelling Carolina Hurricanes’ five-game streak, just as the Olympic break goes into effect. And while maybe just one or two of the victories seemed legitimate, the Bruins were still able to secure an important eight points in four games (10, in six games, if you count the previous two overtime losses) placing them right in playoff contention in the 7th spot in the Eastern Conference.

Flyers Win Big With Olympics On The Radar
It’s no question that Mike Richards knows how to win. He has led his team in the Canadian Juniors Ontario Hockey League to a championship followed soon after by a Memorial Cup victory against the best that Canadian Juniors has to offer. Afterwards he was the captain of one of the most impressive Canadian teams ever to enter the World Junior Tournament including names such as Sidney Crosby, Dion Phaneuf, Ryan Getzlaf, Jeff Carter, and Shae Weber. With that team he brought gold back to Canada in the WJC for the first time since 1997. Then he won the Calder Cup with the Philadelphia Phantoms. So there are only two things left on Mike Richards’ “Captain Championship” checklist; a Stanley Cup of course along with an Olympic Gold Medal.
