Today in Hockey History: April 28

April 28th, 2020 This date has given us a little bit of everything over the years, including some very late regular-season games as well as Stanley Cup playoff milestones. Also, one of the greatest blueliners in National Hockey League history is celebrating his 50th trip around the sun. Goalie Power On April 28, 1970, Jacques Plante recorded his...
An Interview with Bobby Smith

An Interview with Bobby Smith

March 28th, 2020 Originally written back in 2012, this chat with one of the game's greats will be a very nice trip down memory lane for some of our older readers - we also hope younger ones will appreciate how good and how much of a gentleman Bobby Smith was (and still is). The 1977-78 season for the Minnesota North Stars was hockey atrocity. Three...
5 Biggest Villains in Red Wings History

5 Biggest Villains in Red Wings History

July 24th, 2019 Every Detroit Red Wings fan knows their names. Some fill us with dread, and others awaken an anger we haven't felt in years. Whether they've backstopped opposing nets or agitated the Red Wings for years, these players are infamous and vilified by just about every fan in Detroit. For better or worse, these five villains have brought some...
Kotkaniemi the Latest Kindergarten Canadien

Kotkaniemi the Latest Kindergarten Canadien

October 14th, 2018 When he donned the bleu-blanc-rouge on opening night of the 2018-19 season, Jesperi Kotkaniemi tied Claude Lemieux as the third-youngest Montreal Canadien in history, at 18 years, 89 days old. The native of Pori, Finland and third overall pick in the 2018 draft also made history by becoming the first NHL player born in the...
1994 Playoffs - We Need a Movie on This!

1994 Playoffs - We Need a Movie on This!

December 22nd, 2017 There are some good hockey movies out there. We were blessed with Slap Shot in 1977. We chuckled at the antics of the children in The Mighty Ducks in 1992. We reminisced with Herb Brooks in Miracle in 2004. With the 20th anniversary of one of the most memorable playoff runs in NHL history coming up next year, why not relive the ecstasy...
Brendan Lemieux Proving He Belongs

Brendan Lemieux Proving He Belongs

October 30th, 2017 It is already apparent that general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Winnipeg Jets won the trade that sent power forward Evander Kane to the Buffalo Sabres in February of 2015. The Jets packaged Kane with rugged defender Zach Bogosian and goaltender Jason Kasdorf to the Sabres for Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan...
Top 10 Montreal Canadiens Goal Celebrations

Top 10 Montreal Canadiens Goal Celebrations

October 5th, 2017 This article was originally published in July, 2013. The Montreal Canadiens have scored a lot of goals in its 100+ years. Puckloads -- over 20,000 to be precise. Which also means there have been a heckuva lot of goal celebrations for the bleu blanc et rouge -- and some a lot more memorable than others. Writing my recent article for...
Hockey Hall of Fame Debates: Claude Lemieux

Hockey Hall of Fame Debates: Claude Lemieux

September 6th, 2017 Hockey Hall of Fame Debates: Claude Lemieux. Many hockey purists are bristling from the title alone, let alone the notion. Before scoffing or writing it off, take a look at the facts behind the reasons for Lemieux's inclusion. The odds are stacked against him for sure and it does not help matters, so to speak, that two Detroit Red Wings...
Making His Case: Brendan Lemieux

Making His Case: Brendan Lemieux

September 12th, 2015 When you're part of a prospect pool as loaded as that of the Winnipeg Jets, coming out of the first game in Penticton as the clear standout is no small accomplishment. Despite being surrounded by top end talent, however, Brendan Lemieux stood taller than everyone else in tonight's losing effort to the Calgary Flames' prospects. If...
Built To Be Champions The 1995 New Jersey Devils

Built To Be Champions The 1995 New Jersey Devils

March 7th, 2015 "The championship to New Jersey! The Devils win the Stanley Cup!" That was Mike "Doc" Emerick's call on FOX, when it was all over and the New Jersey Devils were crowned 1995 Stanley Cup champions. Ah yes but how were they molded into a championship squad? For that, we take a look at how a roster was built from a team on the cusp of a Cup...
New Jersey Devils Top Enforcers

New Jersey Devils Top Enforcers

March 2nd, 2015 Ever since the New Jersey Devils assembled a coaching staff with Lou Lamoriello, Scott Stevens and Adam Oates sharing leadership duties, the team has shown an increased emphasis on toughness. Players like Mark Fraser, Jordin Tootoo and Tim Sestito, have been stepping up and standing up for teammates. Yes, it is a different NHL but the...
Hockey Hall of Fame 2015?

Hockey Hall of Fame 2015?

November 18th, 2014 With the 2014 Hockey Hall of Fame induction in the books, it's time to turn an eye to the potential class of 2015. It is quite the extensive list and fairly astonishing that only four will make the cut. One wonders how a player can be delayed if said player is a virtual lock right off the rip. This is how we end up with a Pat Burns...
The 1993-94 Devils: On The Doorstep Of A Dynasty

The 1993-94 Devils: On The Doorstep Of A Dynasty

May 26th, 2014 If your team has won a Stanley Cup, chances are that season was most special to you.  However, there are seasons in which one can look back on fondly, even if the end result made for a bittersweet taste, rather than drinking from Lord Stanley's Cup.  If the 1987-88 season marked the arrival on the NHL map for the New Jersey Devils,...
