NHL Failing to Take Advantage of League's Most Exciting Team

NHL Failing to Take Advantage of League's Most Exciting Team

February 10th, 2016 What does the NHL want? More scoring! When do they want it? Now! Where do they want it? Apparantly not on NBC Sports Network. The Dallas Stars appeared on NBCSN for the second time this season last night against the Minnesota Wild. They play the St. Louis Blues on NBCSN next Tuesday in what will be Dallas' final appearance on...
Why the All-Star Game Needs John Scott

Why the All-Star Game Needs John Scott

January 6th, 2016 In case you've been living under a rock, I'll repeat the largest NHL headline of the century. John Scott is an all-star. That's right, the 6'8'' enforcer was selected by fans to lead the Pacific Division's squad. This is despite the fact that Scott only has accumulated 11 points over his entire career. This is also despite the fact that...
Why We Should All Vote Jack Johnson Into The 2015 NHL All-Star Game

Why We Should All Vote Jack Johnson Into The 2015 NHL All-Star Game

November 27th, 2014 Things are pretty tough these days for Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson. Last week the collective hockey world was both stunned and saddened by the news that Johnson, a 27 year-old that has already earned more than $18 million during his NHL career, is filing for bankruptcy. The reason? Johnson was taken advantage of...
Will the NHL All-Star Game Finally Come to Nashville?

Will the NHL All-Star Game Finally Come to Nashville?

September 11th, 2014 The city of Nashville is capable of hosting 10 NHL All-Star Games the next three years, says chief operating officer and president of Bridgestone Arena and the Nashville Predators Sean Henry. In June, the city of Nashville and Bridgestone Arena submitted a bid to host the All-Star Game in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. "With what this...
Who is AHL President and CEO David Andrews?

Who is AHL President and CEO David Andrews?

February 9th, 2014 The 2014 American Hockey League All-Star game is just a few days away-- just enough time to clear the air on a common misperception: There is a lazy tendency to call American Hockey League President and CEO David Andrews the "Gary Bettman of the AHL" by virtue of their positions atop the two primary hockey circuits in North...
NHL Must Address Columbus ASG When Labor Accord is Reached

NHL Must Address Columbus ASG When Labor Accord is Reached

December 6th, 2012 Wednesday night was one of the most pivotal evenings of the entire CBA saga that the NHL and NHLPA have found themselves embroiled in for the past several months. Negotiations were tense and fraught with high emotions, but in the end the two sides made progress on several key issues, and things appear to be at least headed in a positive...
Hockey Collectibles Reminder of Past NHL Lockouts

Hockey Collectibles Reminder of Past NHL Lockouts

October 3rd, 2012 One of the more unique aspects of the collectibles world is that there is memorabilia created for every instance in the game, including times when the game doesn't happen. Yes, as odd as it may sound, past NHL work stoppages have resulted in unique pieces being produced. While one would expect such events, which have a decidedly...
Calgary Flames to honour Al MacInnis Feb 27

All-star Game to Columbus, Planned Fan Protest, Carter on the Block

January 28th, 2012 On Saturday January 28 a group of angered Blue Jackets fans plan on holding a protest in the plaza outside Nationwide Arena.  Hours later the NHL is reportedly set to announce Columbus as the 2013 host of the All-star game and festivities.  The protest started as an idea on the popular HF Boards forum and spread rapidly from there....
Hartnell Deserves All The Credit For All Star Season

Hartnell Deserves All The Credit For All Star Season

January 28th, 2012 Scott Hartnell’s big year can easily be attributed to things other than him by short sighted people. However, the biggest reason for Hartnell’s success this season is well, Scott Hartnell. While no one is arguing that Hartnell has a couple of extremely talented linemates, we haven’t seen this version of Scott Hartnell prior to the...
Much Needed Rest for the Chicago Blackhawks at the All-Star Break

Much Needed Rest for the Chicago Blackhawks at the All-Star Break

January 27th, 2012 As the National Hockey League breaks for its annual All-Star festivities in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, there is at least one team that is excited about the weeklong break.  The Chicago Blackhawks, who have been strong of late, failed to capitalize on a home and home with the Nashville Predators and allowed the team from music city to...

6 Reasons Why The Detroit Red Wings Have Won 6 Straight

6 Reasons Why The Detroit Red Wings Have Won 6 Straight

December 1st, 2011 The congratulation of Jimmy Howard is a common sight in Hockeytown these days. (Icon SMI) Sitting in 2nd place in the West with 2 games at hand on the conference leading Minnesota Wild, things are looking pretty good right now for the Detroit Red Wings.

Norris Trophy Mythology: Nicklas Lidstrom's Quest For Number Eight

Norris Trophy Mythology: Nicklas Lidstrom's Quest For Number Eight

October 28th, 2011 In any conversation about the most prolific defencemen of all time you will undoubtedly hear the mention of names like Bobby Orr, Doug Harvey, Raymond Borque, and Paul Coffey. Along with these past NHL greats often comes the suggestion of current Detroit Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom, and why not? At the end of every season...
Fleury, Blooming into MVP Performer

Fleury, Blooming into MVP Performer

March 7th, 2011 How people in the city of Pittsburgh constantly bash Marc-Andre Fleury on popular Pittsburgh sports talk shows, like Mark Madden's popular show on 105.9 WXDX, is beyond my comprehension. To some critics, most of whom know very little about hockey, Fleury will never be good enough. Fleury hasn't been the most consistent between the...
