Mi-C-ing in Action: NHL Teams Currently Without Captains
September 4th, 2015 While you don’t necessarily need a captain to win in the NHL, the healthy majority of teams currently without one just missed the playoffs. That admittedly could be a coincidence. The one team that didn’t? It was instead led by Hart Memorial Trophy winner Carey Price. That isn't. And he, for the record, technically wore a ‘C’...
Hockey News: Latest on Patrick Kane, Antti Raanta, Jack Eichel, and More
September 2nd, 2015 A collection of all the news, stories and rumors from around the world of hockey: The top-ranked players in NHL 16 are not surprising. Is Joe Thornton Hall of Fame worthy? Anze Kopitar and the Kings aren't close in contract talks. Mitch Marner may or may not wear number 93 when he plays for the Leafs. Now there is...
Why is Hybrid Icing Still a Thing?
August 10th, 2015 It’s the thought that counts, right? When your mom bought you that Notre Dame Snuggie for Christmas, simply because you mentioned watching a Fighting Irish game once in November, you accepted it because she put thought into the gift. The idiom is true on a broader scale, as well. Hybrid icing was instituted by the NHL to open the...
Decision on Leadership Looms For DeBoer, Sharks
June 2nd, 2015 Peter DeBoer saw some tough luck in his first seven seasons of NHL coaching. After 13 stellar years of work in the OHL (including two Coach of the Year awards and a Memorial Cup win in 2003), DeBoer was viewed as the Next Big Coach to enter the NHL. But 7 seasons later and he has just one playoff appearance and only two 40+ win seasons...
Who Are Three Potential Devils Captains?
January 31st, 2015 There are a lot of questions going on with the Devils. Especially after taking a brutal 43-14 shot differential in their OT loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins Friday night. One question I believe is beginning to form is internal leadership. Now we all know that New Jersey has a plethora of leadership, whether it's from Patrik Elias,...
New Jersey Devils Quarter Mark Review
November 22nd, 2014 It's not about how you start but how you finish. This season the New Jersey Devils got off to a relatively fast start. The beginning of the 2014-15 campaign was leaps and bounds above their introduction to the 2013-14 season. Yet, a bumpy road across their first 20 contests, has left them with virtually the same results as last season at...
Bryce Salvador: No Blues After Leaving St. Louis
November 7th, 2014 There’s always a moment in every successful playoff run that stands out. The play that catapulted the championship team from the middle of the pack to the team that couldn’t be beat. For the Chicago Blackhawks in 2013, the moment where captain Jonathan Toews headed to the penalty box and teammate Brent Seabrook poked his head in...
Q & A With Bryce Salvador of the New Jersey Devils
November 3rd, 2014 New Jersey Devils captain Bryce Salvador knows a thing or two about the game of hockey. It’s true. He likely knows more about hockey than you do; well most of you, unless you are an ex-player reading this…Brendan Witt? The 38-year-old, 14-season veteran has seen and experienced just about every situation over his career with the...
Albany Devils October Review
October 31st, 2013 October opened with a bang. Fifty-one seconds into their season opener on the road at the Hartford Wolf Pack, Scott Timmins buried the puck to give the Devils an early one goal lead. Unfortunately, although the Devils led the game in shots 26-22, the Wolf Pack managed to rally and beat the Devils 4-3. Despite the opening night...
Bryce Salvador: Leading By Example
October 21st, 2013 We all know it takes a special breed of person to play hockey, especially those that play defense and those that play goaltender. The goalies at least get some oversized pads to give them some protection from the pucks that are fired at them. Defensemen like New Jersey Devils captain Bryce Salvador don’t have any more padding or...
Damien Brunner: A Bright Spot in the Devils Dismal Start to Season
October 16th, 2013 The New Jersey Devils season started two weeks ago and yet they are still searching for their first win. With a 0-3-3 record (3 points) they have struggled to find consistency for the course of a 60-minute game. They’ve been shutout (twice); saw a three-goal lead evaporate in Edmonton and a two-goal lead vanish in Vancouver. One of the...
NHL Shootouts: Is It Time For A Change?
October 10th, 2013 Is it time to get rid of the shootout in the NHL? It is the only of the four major sports that has a tiebreaking method in the regular season that doesn’t match up with how ties are broken in the playoffs. But we all know that NHL playoff overtime is a different animal; games can go on for hours, which make the NHL playoffs one of the...
New Jersey Devils Goaltending: Along Came a Schneider
September 27th, 2013 First impressions are usually lasting ones and although it’s only preseason Cory Schneider has made a great first impression for the New Jersey Devils franchise and their fans. In the parts of four-preseason games (10 periods) he appeared in he allowed just one goal on 80 shots faced, including one complete game shutout against the New...
