2018 NHL Draft: Top Canadian Centers

2018 NHL Draft: Top Canadian Centers

October 23rd, 2017 The 2018 NHL Entry Draft is roughly eight months away but it's never too early to start getting familiar with some of the names that will be announced at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas, next June. This year's class is considered to be much deeper than 2017's and is full of impactful talent. In this edition, I'll break...
Why Canadian Fans Should Cheer on the Stars

Why Canadian Fans Should Cheer on the Stars

April 14th, 2016 In a follow up to Wednesday's piece, where I criticized the notion that Canadians will be disinterested by this year's NHL post-season due to absence of a Canadian market for the first time since 1970, I present today's argument as to which one of the 16 American teams fans of the seven Canadian teams should send their support...
O Canada! How 7 Canadian Teams Became Mediocre

O Canada! How 7 Canadian Teams Became Mediocre

February 18th, 2016 The seven Canadian teams have won 43 Stanley Cups since 1915. Montreal and Toronto are the two most successful clubs in the NHL with 37 of those. However, the last time the Stanley Cup belonged to a team in Canada was in 1993. Now, at the time of writing, all seven Canadian teams are outside of the playoff picture. If the postseason...
WJC: 6 Takeaways From Canada-Finland Quarterfinal

WJC: 6 Takeaways From Canada-Finland Quarterfinal

January 2nd, 2016 HELSINKI, FINLAND – In what was one of the best games you'll see, Finland comes away with a seesaw 6-5 victory over Canada to advance to the medal round. Here are six takeaway from the matchup. Tons of Energey, Great Emotion If you're a hockey fan and you haven't seen world juniors hockey in person, it's an absolute must for your...
My 2016 Team Canada World Juniors Team

My 2016 Team Canada World Juniors Team

August 11th, 2015 We're currently going through the dog days of summer, so I thought it would be fun to try and get into the minds of the Team Canada brass and try to predict what Team Canada's U20 roster will look like in Helsinki, Finland. I will break down each position and talk about who should be in the mix for positions and who will ultimately...
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

May 18th, 2015 PRAGUE – If you think you had a tough week, try being Alexander Ovechkin. After yet again failing to win a Game 7  –after having his team lead 3-1 in the series  – and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, Ovechkin promptly flew halfway across the world to join his Russian comrades only to make it to the gold-medal game of...
Oh, Canada - Not so Friendly to Columbus

Oh, Canada - Not so Friendly to Columbus

March 18th, 2015 International road trips have been a struggle for the Jackets. Columbus has played in five games north of the border this season ahead of tonight’s game in Edmonton. With the exception of its Feb. 7 game in Ottawa, those games have all resulted in losses. The Blue Jackets were outscored 16-9 in those games, 15-5 if you exclude...
WJC Attendance: A Tale of Two Cities

WJC Attendance: A Tale of Two Cities

January 5th, 2015 The 2015 World Junior Hockey Championship comes to a close Monday night and already there seems to be some uncertainty about the International Ice Hockey Federation’s 2017 edition of the tournament. Like this year, in 2017 the Boxing Day classic is set to return to co-hosts Montreal and Toronto, but the success of the tournament in...

Team Canada Goalies: In Argument of Comrie

When Hockey Canada announced their roster for the IIHF World Under-20 Championships (also known as the World Juniors) they had only named two goalies: incumbent Zachary Fucale and challenger Eric Comrie.  This meant that rather than bringing in 3-4 goalies to camp and having them fight for the two positions, Hockey Canada would have...
Hockey Honours Canada's Fallen

Hockey Honours Canada's Fallen

October 25th, 2014 This week has been the most difficult time that Canada has ever faced. First came the shocking fatal ambush on two Canadian soldiers just south of Montreal on Monday, October 20, 2014. One of the soldiers, 53 year old Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent died of his injuries. The man who ran over the soldiers with his vehicle was later...
Canada or Columbus: A Stanley Cup Race

Canada or Columbus: A Stanley Cup Race

August 9th, 2014 I know what you are thinking.  You probably are still laughing at the notion that the Columbus Blue Jackets will not only win a Stanley Cup soon, but will do so before ANYONE in Canada will.  I know what you are saying.  "Columbus has been one of the laughing stocks of the league since they arrived in 2000.  They haven't even won a...
What Going To The World Juniors Means To Me, A Half-Canadian

What Going To The World Juniors Means To Me, A Half-Canadian

December 30th, 2013 The first time I saw a hockey game in Toronto, there were so many goals that I missed one of them. I was pretty upset. December 21st, 1999. The Maple Leafs blew out the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-1. I was 14 years old. The strongest memories from your childhood exist only in snapshot. I have three from that night - walking up the...
Differences in North American and European Players:  Truth or Myth

Differences in North American and European Players: Truth or Myth

August 16th, 2013 I sat down with KHL Medvescak Zagreb Coach Mark French and captain Alan Letang to discuss the differences between playing and coaching in North America and Europe.  French was at the helm of the Hershey Bears last season and will coach his first season in Europe this year.  Alan Letang is a former draft pick of the Canadiens, who has...
The Real Losers of the NHL Lockout

The Real Losers of the NHL Lockout

January 4th, 2013   I can’t say my life is the worst without hockey because my income doesn’t depend on it. Sure, having a winter without the sport that thrives on the chill of the wind in the air and the snow covering the ground is hard. It was depressing not having a player like Ilya Bryzgalov enlighten me with his philosophical...
Hockey Betting From The WJC: He Said, She Said?

Hockey Betting From The WJC: He Said, She Said?

December 29th, 2012 Day three of the tournament brings an abrupt change in the intensity level of the hockey betting. The first two days featured mostly games that could have been picked from a hat and been perfect. The time changes now. There are four games tomorrow but the big one is obviously going to be Team USA versus the home Russian squad. There is...
