The Need for Celebrations in Sports

The Need for Celebrations in Sports

October 26th, 2015 In 1980, the disco group Kool & the Gang declared to the whole world, "Celebrate good times, come on!" Their hit, "Celebration", is a jovial, infectious song, pleading to the listener to simply let go and have some fun. Celebrations are great. Got a job promotion? Great! Invite some friends over for a BBQ. Graduated...
Blurred Lines: Why the Trapezoid Does More Harm Than Good

Blurred Lines: Why the Trapezoid Does More Harm Than Good

October 13th, 2015 I'll start by saying that we're lucky to be fans of a league that takes risks. The NHL is a league that never seems fully satisfied. They're always tweaking rules and instituting new facets of the game in a quest to appeal to a greater audience. Because some of their new ideas fall flat we sometimes take for granted the innovations that...
Dale Tallon: Turning the Panthers into NHL's Next Dynasty

Dale Tallon: Turning the Panthers into NHL's Next Dynasty

September 17th, 2015 There's no easy way to build a sure-fire Stanley Cup contender - no simple blueprint that will bring a team unmitigated success. To create a perennial powerhouse in the NHL, you must have a lot of things go right for you. For example, your drafting has to be spot on, player development has to be done carefully, you need to make timely...
Will Youngstars Experiment Fall Flat in 2016 World Cup?

Will Youngstars Experiment Fall Flat in 2016 World Cup?

June 9th, 2015 Like advertisements on NHL uniforms, the re-institution of the World Cup of Hockey was inevitable. It was only a matter of time before the league brought back their own tournament under their own auspices. The NHL was leaving too much money on the table by not having their own sanctioned international competition and it was about time...
Is There a Way to Evaluate Trade Deadline Acquisitions?

Is There a Way to Evaluate Trade Deadline Acquisitions?

June 8th, 2015 The general manager position is easily one of the most difficult jobs in hockey. GM's have to build a winning hockey team, and then find a way to maintain that success to become a perennial winner. All of that has to be done while steering clear of cap issues, fan complaints and media attacks. It also happens to be a very difficult...
Decision on Leadership Looms For DeBoer, Sharks

Decision on Leadership Looms For DeBoer, Sharks

June 2nd, 2015 Peter DeBoer saw some tough luck in his first seven seasons of NHL coaching. After 13 stellar years of work in the OHL (including two Coach of the Year awards and a Memorial Cup win in 2003), DeBoer was viewed as the Next Big Coach to enter the NHL. But 7 seasons later and he has just one playoff appearance and only two 40+ win seasons...
Pierre McGuire in Uncharted Territory for Game 7

Pierre McGuire in Uncharted Territory for Game 7

May 29th, 2015 As the Fratellis serenaded the United Center for the sixth and final time Wednesday night, the Chicago Blackhawks skated off the ice, satisfied with their 5-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. The big win sets the stage for a winner-takes-all game 7 on Saturday night back in the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. In the post game...
Unleash the Beast: Time for a New Logo in New Jersey?

Unleash the Beast: Time for a New Logo in New Jersey?

May 12th, 2015 If you follow basketball (which I don't) you may be aware that the Philadelphia 76ers are in the midst of a rebuild. The team has been putrid for the last two seasons but there's still hope that the team is headed in the right direction and that there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Recognising this possible upward trend, the...
