I've devoted most of my life to being a Pittsburgh sports fan. Currently, I live in Austin with my wife Sarah and our dogs Clooney and Maggie.. But, I had the pleasure of taking in all that is Austin, TX - mostly the Texas Stars American Hockey League franchise - for the past 4 years.

Dead Weight: 5 Players That Must Be a Compliance Buyout

Dead Weight: 5 Players That Must Be a Compliance Buyout

June 30th, 2014 The Compliance Buyout is a chance for teams to cut dead weight from their roster. It’s like giving you the chance to return that hideous sweater a relative got you for Christmas. You’re happy they spent money on the gift. But, really, you’re looking for the first chance to dump it and get the cash back so you can spend it on...
Should NHL Owners Ban International Play?

Should NHL Owners Ban International Play?

May 18th, 2014 With the news of Alexander Ovechkin’s leg injury, at the IIHF World Championship, it makes you wonder when NHL Owners and General Managers will finally wise up and forbid their players from playing in these tournaments.

Pittsburgh Penguins Fans Are Stuck With Marc-Andre Fleury

May 4th, 2014 If you love, or hate, Marc-Andre Fleury as the Pittsburgh Penguins starter you are going to be stuck with him no matter what the outcome is at the end of the 2014 playoffs. And, that may not be a bad thing. Yes, he seems like he is always just one allowed goal from a meltdown. But, he is also a goalie that has averaged 35 wins over the...

April 22nd, 2014 Jonathan Quick has been the worst goaltender through the start of the 2014 NHL Playoffs. This shouldn’t come as a surprise as his numbers are the likes of Marc-Andre Fleury during the 2012 and 2013 playoffs. However, the question has be asked while watching his performance through the first two games against San Jose, “is this the...

Should the Anaheim Ducks Start Rookie John Gibson in Postseason?

April 14th, 2014 It’s crazy to think, trusting your Stanley Cup hopes and dreams on a 20-year old rookie, but after only two regular season games should the Anaheim Ducks start John Gibson when the NHL Playoffs start? Yes, Gibson’s professional work in the NHL ranks is just 45 games. However, in that time he’s established himself as the best goalie...
Is Sidney Crosby the LeBron James of the NHL?

Is Sidney Crosby the LeBron James of the NHL?

March 31st, 2014 Sidney Crosby and LeBron James share one thing mostly in common. They’re the most loved and hated man among fans and players in the NHL and NBA and they just so happen to be the face of their leagues. They whine but score. They dive, but create scoring chances for their teammates. They basically do it all while getting criticized for...
Will The NHL See Tanking in 2014-15?

Will The NHL See Tanking in 2014-15?

March 17th, 2014 You’ll hear the phrase “tanking” thrown around towards the NBA. However, when it comes to the NHL and the term tanking, it isn’t a hot button topic yet. Next season the question will be will teams throw their season to increase their odds at drafting the next great superstar: Connor McDavid? Already there have been small signs...
Was the Tim Thomas Trade the Best Move at the Deadline?

Was the Tim Thomas Trade the Best Move at the Deadline?

March 10th, 2014 In the aftermath of the NHL Trade Deadline, it looks like the best move any team made was the Dallas Stars acquiring Tim Thomas from the Florida Panthers. Yes, there were flashier moves like: the Rangers adding Martin St. Louis for Ryan Callahan or Roberto Luongo going to the Florida Panthers. However, no move will benefit their team...
