Top 5 Goaltenders of the 1960s

December 16th, 2020 The last line of defence. In a nutshell, that is what a goaltender has, is and will always be. No matter the era they played in, the job has always remained the same.

Today in Hockey History: Dec. 10

December 10th, 2020 The Great One proved that his nickname was well-earned twice on this date in National Hockey League history. This was also a very busy date in upstate New York. In addition, some cross-town rivalries were put into motion and the last game of two record-setting streaks occurred. It is time to take our daily trip back through the...

Today in Hockey History: Oct. 25

October 25th, 2020 The National Hockey League’s highest-scoring defenseman ever took his place at the top of the list on this date. Also, there has been a ton of memorable moments, on Oct. 25, for the league’s “Original Six” franchises. Bourque Takes the Top Spot Ray Bourque made NHL history, on Oct. 25, 2000, as he picked up two assists in...

Today in Hockey History: July 20

July 20th, 2020 July 20 has been an eventful date in National Hockey League history despite no games being played.

Top 3 All-Time Maple Leafs Goalies

Top 3 All-Time Maple Leafs Goalies

January 25th, 2020 From A-to-Z, or rather from Frederik Andersen to Ken Wregget, the Toronto Maple Leafs have had nearly a hundred goaltenders take the ice. As one of the NHL’s original six franchises, founded in 1917, they’ve had their fair share of great goalies. This article looks at the best of the best. The Maple Leafs, one of the oldest and...

THW's Goalie News: Nilsson Leads Upset, Hart Rings Bell & More

December 10th, 2019 Today’s look at the world of goaltending takes us all over the map.

Maple Leafs News: Questioning Depth as Kadri Returns

January 2nd, 2018 Forget the mini-slump the Toronto Maple Leafs may have gone through leading up to the holiday break in the NHL’s schedule, especially if their Next Century game was any indication of what this team can do offensively. Still, the Leafs have lacked consistency in the first half of the season - with Frederik Andersen being the backbone...
Goodbye, Mr. Bower

The Top 40-year-old Goaltenders In NHL History

September 8th, 2017 This article was originally written in November, 2014. More than the 12 victories he needs for 700 and the fourth Stanley Cup he so desires, Martin Brodeur is hoping to continue his career because he is a competitor. A competitor who aspires to outshine his peers. He isn't alone. In fact, all Brodeur had to do is take a look at one of...

50 Years Ago in Hockey: Leafs Down to One Goalie – Again

50 Years Ago in Hockey: Leafs Down to One Goalie – Again

March 1st, 2016 The Toronto Maple Leafs are down to just one healthy goaltender again.
