Hockey News: Holtby Shines Again; Cole out for the Season

April 9th, 2015 Deservedly, Carey Price and Pekka Rinne have been the talk of the goaltending world in the 2014-15 season. Rinne has been the brick wall that is separating the Nashville Predators from making the playoffs and golfing in late April. His 2.17 GAA and .923 save percentage are in the top 10 among goaltending leaders, while Price's 1.93...

Sbisa and Dorsett's Contracts Create Cap Crunch for Canucks

April 9th, 2015 The Canucks will feel the salary cap crunch after extending two of their depth players. General Manager Jim Benning resigned Derek Dorsett and Luca Sbisa on Wednesday.

Canucks' Fourth Line Looks Promising

Canucks' Fourth Line Looks Promising

October 30th, 2014 After nine games played, there have been many pleasant surprises for the Vancouver Canucks. One can start with the fact that the Sedins are on pace for over a point per game again and new linemate Radim Vrbata has not just blended in, but actually appears to be the spark behind recent first line success. And now it appears that they...
The NHL Encourages Diving

The NHL Encourages Diving

August 18th, 2014 Diving was one of the biggest hot button topics during the 2013-14 NHL playoffs. It started early with a number of incidents in the first round, and continued to be an issue throughout the rest of the playoffs. Universally, fans want diving in the NHL to be a thing of the past. The only facet in which hockey should aspire to be like...
The Dishonor of Embellishment in the NHL

The Dishonor of Embellishment in the NHL

May 28th, 2014 There's always the players you may not like, but certainly respect. The player you can't stand, but would love to have on your team. And then there's the players who cheat. The dishonor of embellishment has been on full display in this postseason with the New York Rangers being whistled for multiple diving penalties, and more recently,...
Fantasy Hockey: Rewarded for Penalty Minutes?

Fantasy Hockey: Rewarded for Penalty Minutes?

November 22nd, 2013 Simply coming up with a title for this piece cost me about an hour. It may have taken longer to give this rant a name than it did to record my stream of consciousnesses on the subject. At The Hockey Writers, titles usually range from thought provoking questions to slightly snarky one-liners. Both styles are equally effective at enticing...
Best Blue Jackets Players of All Time

Best Blue Jackets Players of All Time

August 18th, 2013 Of all time? Well... okay... the best Blue Jackets of the last 12 years. But for a team and a city, save for a few glimpses of greatness and one short-lived playoff experience, those 12 years have been long and painful, making them feel like a lifetime. One of the greatest Columbus Blue Jackets just came home - Jody Shelley, who has...
Blue Jackets New Division Features Familiar Faces

Blue Jackets New Division Features Familiar Faces

April 23rd, 2013 The July blockbuster that sent Rick Nash to New York was viewed by most of the hockey world as an overwhelming victory for the Rangers. For Columbus, it appeared to be another disappointing chapter in what would turn out to be the final months of the Scott Howson saga. That was before Howson was replaced and the once lowly Blue Jackets...
Identity Crisis: Columbus Blueshirts And New York Blue Jackets?

Identity Crisis: Columbus Blueshirts And New York Blue Jackets?

April 7th, 2013 Who are the "Columbus Blueshirts" and the "New York Blue Jackets"?  Are these names of the latest Broadway shows?  Or are they a couple of brand new NHL expansion franchises? No, they are merely a metamorphosis of the NHL trades that have occurred over the last year.  Talk about team identity crisis!  Not only did players get...
Blue Jackets Beat:  Kekäläinen Stunning In Trade Deadline Debut

Blue Jackets Beat: Kekäläinen Stunning In Trade Deadline Debut

April 4th, 2013 Coming into the trade deadline, Hockey Operations President John Davidson and General Manger Jarmo Kekäläinen warned that there would be no short term deals -- no rentals -- forthcoming at the deadline.   It was widely reported that the club was dangling one of its three first round picks in an effort to bolster offense, but the...
Blue Jackets Beat:  A Win From the Heart

Blue Jackets Beat: A Win From the Heart

February 22nd, 2013 The omens were in the air yesterday.  An ice storm bearing down on the Midwest, threatening travel plans.  The stock market tanking . . . then recovering a bit.   James Wisniewski delivering a soliloquy on how losing -- no matter what the effort -- was unacceptable.  And then the game began . . . 18 seconds in.  Turnover. ...
Blue Jackets Beat : Good Things Happen . . .

Blue Jackets Beat : Good Things Happen . . .

January 29th, 2013 . . . when you put the puck on the net.   That's the completion of the the sentence above, and a lesson that the Blue Jackets need to have drilled into their heads.  A gritty 2 - 1 victory over the Dallas Stars last night added emphasis to the point.  But more on that later.   The Blue Jackets played a somnolent first...
The 10 Most Offensively Gifted Enforcers in the NHL

The 10 Most Offensively Gifted Enforcers in the NHL

March 21st, 2012 An enforcer in hockey is defined as a player whose role on a team is to respond physically and aggressively to unwarranted play by the opponents, usually by challenging the guilty parties or the other teams' enforcers to a fight. An on-ice policeman, as you will. Many enforcers also stage fights between one another to attempt to...
Rick Nash and the Blue Jackets embarrassed by Blackhawks

Rick Nash and the Blue Jackets embarrassed by Blackhawks

February 19th, 2012   When the face of your franchise could very well be handed a one-way ticket out of Columbus by next weeks National Hockey League trade deadline, the thought of it hurts. A friend, a teammate and the captain of a struggling Blue Jackets organization. 22 other players are immediately affected, but by the time evening rolls...
5 Stats that Help Define the Blue Jackets Season

5 Stats that Help Define the Blue Jackets Season

January 31st, 2012 Statistics can be taken out of context, or used to prove points that are not relevant to the statistics themselves.  Some statistics can be close to  irrelevant, plus/minus and shots on goal eventually may be phased out by better statistics like Corsi ratings and scoring chances.  Some statistics however can help pinpoint a team's...
