Caps Struggle to Find Balance in Correcting the Overcorrecting Keara Dowd | October 13, 2011 Everyone told them they had to change, and the Washington Capitals did just that. Since their sudden rise in 2008, the Caps have been labeled as an offensive team with…

THW Power Rankings #1 Alex Stallings | October 7, 2011 Here it is: my first weekly power ranking of the season! Please note that I have taken everything possible into consideration and these are exactly correct so no arguing! Actually…
Growing Hockey from the Grassroots Up Jas Faulkner | September 27, 2011 NHL expansion into what is often called “nontraditional markets” has led to at least two generations of children watching teams like the Kings, the Coyotes, the Predators, the Lightning and the Capitals with interest. Shane and Shea and Ovi inspire awe in young fans. They also instill the desire in these kids to get on the ice and try it out for themselves.

What Does The Shea Weber Deal Mean For Nashville? Jas Faulkner | August 10, 2011 In the Coen Brothers’ 1987 film, “Raising Arizona”, an ex-convict named Hy is given marching orders by his wife to get some diapers for their newly stolen (by them) baby. While he is in the store, Hy has a lapse and goes from being a doting adoptive dad to his former identity as a petty thief. Pulling a pair of pantyhose over his head, he hitches up his trousers, musters up every last reserve of inner badass energy and walks up to the clerk where he demands all of the cash and a package of Huggies. There is a pause as the clerk eyes him coolly and then drawls, “Son, you got a panty on your head.” This scene stands as an apt metaphor for Predators GM David Poile’s summer.
Saying Kaddish in Nashville: The Predators Departed, 2011 Edition Jas Faulkner | August 4, 2011 Seasoned fans are only too aware that this is the time of the year when owners and GMs will assure everyone that old favorites are being sent out to live on a farm where they can be happy and run free. With the totality of every heart that beats in a sweater (be it NHL issued or an eBay knockoff) we want to believe that there is a hockey Nirvana where everyone gets to be Gordie Howe forever. The truth is that time, injuries and salary caps take their toll and names are removed from above the wooden benches in locker rooms all over the continent.
