Blackhawks Rivalries: Brother Detroit, Criminal Canuck

Blackhawks Rivalries: Brother Detroit, Criminal Canuck

February 25th, 2013 Chicago and Detroit. The classic rivalry between two Original Six teams that emulates more of a "big brother" rivalry than a pure hatred between two foes. Any Blackhawks fan worth their breath will tell you that "Detroit Sucks," but deep down they all know that there is a mutual respect between both teams on the ice. I do understand...
Edmonton Oilers 2013 Season Preview:  Youth Is Served

Edmonton Oilers 2013 Season Preview: Youth Is Served

January 17th, 2013   There might not be another team in the NHL with as much anticipation to start the season as the Edmonton Oilers. Languishing at the bottom of the standings over the past three years with finishes of 30th, 30th, 29th, Oiler fans are ready for the team to make their move. Obviously the silver lining to finishing so low...
Breaking Down the Edmonton Oilers Forward Group

Breaking Down the Edmonton Oilers Forward Group

September 8th, 2012 Over the past few years there has been little to cheer about in terms of on-ice success if you're an Edmonton Oilers fan.  With the team firmly entrenched in re-build mold, Oiler fans have consoled themselves with the fact that within a (hopefully short) period of time there would be a stable of young, exciting, blue chip talent...

Battle Royale: the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings Jockey for Pacific Supremacy

"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past." — Thomas Jefferson. One team has ruled the roost four consecutive years, missing a fifth (despite registering 108 points) only due to Anaheim's Cup-winning season in 2006-07.  The other has been a perennial doormat for much of its existence, making the playoffs...
Bowman Finally Building His Blackhawks

Bowman Finally Building His Blackhawks

July 11th, 2011 For the first time in his time as general manager of the Blackhawks, Stan Bowman has the financial freedom to build the team the way he sees fit.  Interestingly enough however the additions he made on July 1st are all of a different breed of player than Bowman had acquired in the past.  In adding Andrew Brunette, Dan Carcillo, Jamal...

Jordan Staal Gets Match Penalty for Sucker Punch

February 1st, 2011 Late in the second period of the Pittsburgh Penguins' battle with the New York Rangers on Tuesday night, Jordan Staal charged into a scrum and landed a blindside punch on the chin of Brandon Prust. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh-eH451n5Y&feature=player_embedded Prust quickly dropped to the ice and Staal found himself with a...

Hotlanta Hero: Examining Dustin Byfuglien's Flying Start for the Thrashers

December 1st, 2010 Jim Neveau, NHL Correspondent When the Atlanta Thrashers acquired Dustin Byfuglien from the Chicago Blackhawks back in June, it was widely considered to be a solid trade for a franchise still reeling from losing its primary goal scorer in Ilya Kovalchuk. The move also brought veterans Ben Eager and Brent Sopel into the mix, but the...
