Ben Bishop Trade Revisited
February 28th, 2018 It wasn’t long ago that Ben Bishop donned the Ottawa Senators’ logo on the front of his jersey.

July 28th, 2017 It’s that time of the year again — some random summer day when I decide to publish my offseason standings predictions. These are always a hit, even if they are a miss. For the record, this is my third annual attempt at making offseason predictions and I’ve correctly picked 24 of the 32 playoff teams over the last two years. That...
