Battle on the Hudson: The Greatest Playoff Series in NHL History

Battle on the Hudson: The Greatest Playoff Series in NHL History

December 3rd, 2012 Seven games in thirteen days, 27 periods, two teams six miles apart, and two organizations taking very different routes in their quest to reach the Stanley Cup Finals. These are just a few of the reasons why author Tim Sullivan called the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils the best in...
The Greatest NHL Shootout Ever

The Greatest NHL Shootout Ever

November 26th, 2012 One of the hallmarks of the "new" National Hockey League is the shootout. For the last seven seasons, many skaters have dazzled with their silky mitts and slick shots, adding a whole new dimension to the highlight reel. But the greatest shootout in NHL history will be remembered for a fantastic goal from the unlikeliest source. On...
Wayne Gretzky's Greatest Game With The New York Rangers

Wayne Gretzky's Greatest Game With The New York Rangers

November 20th, 2012 When the New York Rangers signed Wayne Gretzky as a free agent in the summer of 1996, the hope was that a reunion with his friend and team captain Mark Messier would reinvigorate 'The Great One.' After two non-playoff seasons with the Los Angeles Kings, and a mid-season trade to the St. Louis Blues in the 1995-96 season, Gretzky...

THW Panel: The 2012 Hockey Hall of Fame Class

November 9th, 2012 There is no shortage of offense among this year's Hall of Fame class. Pavel Bure, Adam Oates, Joe Sakic, and Mats Sundin were all premier offensive players during the 1990s.

How The 2012 Lockout Changed My Perspective on Hockey and the NHL

October 31st, 2012 For as long as I can remember, I have loved the sport of hockey and the New York Rangers. My dad still reminds me that the day after I was born, he held me in the hospital and we watched the Rangers on television. I was hooked. Mark Messier quickly became my favorite player, and I wanted to know as much as possible about him, the...
NHL Lockout 2012: Revenue Sharing Is the Key to Labor Peace

NHL Lockout 2012: Revenue Sharing Is the Key to Labor Peace

October 29th, 2012 How does the National Hockey League earn a record $3.3 billion in revenue and yet most of its teams lose money? The answer is the lack of a revenue sharing program that helps out all 30 NHL teams. This article certainly isn't the first published work that argues this point. While the two sides have been hung up on the share of hockey...

John Davidson Is the Right Person to Fix the Columbus Blue Jackets

October 28th, 2012 John Davidson was named the new President of Hockey Operations for the Columbus Blue Jackets in a move that was originally speculated by the Columbus Dispatch's Aaron Portzline within the last week.

New York Rangers: Five Under the Radar Prospects

New York Rangers: Five Under the Radar Prospects

October 23rd, 2012 In an earlier post, we listed the five best prospects in the New York Rangers farm system. Although the five prospects previously mentioned are the cream of the crop in the Blueshirts organization, by no means are they the only talented prospects that the Rangers possess.
