Flyers: Revisiting the Hartnell and Timonen Trade

Flyers: Revisiting the Hartnell and Timonen Trade

October 20th, 2020 On June 18, 2007, the Philadelphia Flyers made a trade with the Nashville Predators, sending a first-round pick for winger Scott Hartnell and defenseman Kimmo Timonen. They both quickly signed long-term contract extensions with the Flyers, and made a huge impact for the club throughout the late 2000s up until the mid-2010s. They were...
Philadelphia Flyers' Best Defensemen of All-Time

Philadelphia Flyers' Best Defensemen of All-Time

August 15th, 2020 An old saying in sports goes that “defense wins championships.” While offense and goaltending play key roles in winning hockey games for sure, defense is so crucial. This is especially the case because they help the goalie with their aggressive style and hitting to try and create better vision for the netminder as well as clear the...
Is Finland's Elli Mäkelä the Next Kimmo Timonen?

Is Finland's Elli Mäkelä the Next Kimmo Timonen?

January 18th, 2018 Though she will be turning 17 years old in just a few days, Finnish defender Elli Mäkelä already has a very cerebral approach to hockey. Coming off of her first U18 Women's World Championship in Moscow, Russia, she took the time to talk hockey with THW. The Finns would finish fifth in Moscow, but the experience Mäkelä received was...

Erik Brannstrom: Let Him Entertain You

February 8th, 2017 We all love to debate draft prospects and player rankings prior to the NHL Entry Draft. But, there are always a number of promising young players who fall out of the discussion. From Sweden, Timothy Liljegren, Lias Andersson and Elias Pettersson are anticipated to get picked within the first half of the first round this year....
Forsberg Squared: The Tale of Two Outcomes

Forsberg Squared: The Tale of Two Outcomes

December 22nd, 2016 Trades—every GM makes them and are one of the key indicators that define how “good” a GM is. Similarly to the draft, determining the quality of the trade tends to take a few seasons to fully show the value. It is always fun playing “Captain Hindsight” and looking at the winners and losers of an organization’s trade...
Flyers Pay Tribute to Kimmo Timonen

Flyers Pay Tribute to Kimmo Timonen

October 15th, 2015 The defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks came to Philadelphia on Wednesday night, making it a perfect night for the Flyers to pay tribute to recently retired defenseman Kimmo Timonen. Timonen spent the last eight seasons (more or less, if you include being on IR most of last season) of his 16-season, 1,108-game career...
The Nashville Predators Franchise Four

The Nashville Predators Franchise Four

September 25th, 2015 The Franchise Four. The Mount Rushmore. Four players who tell the story of an organization. In this series, I’ll be taking a look at the history of all 30 NHL squads. For criteria, I’m choosing one forward, defenceman, goaltender and a wild card from any position. Since entering the NHL as an expansion team in 1998, the Nashville...

Game of Numbers: 2015 Stanley Cup Winners Edition

They were categorized into individual milestones, franchise marks and players that found themselves in the top 100 of all-time in specific statistical categories. With the Chicago Blackhawks taking their third Stanley...

Hockey News: The Chicago Blackhawks are Stanley Cup Champions. Again

June 16th, 2015 For the third time in the past six years, the Chicago Blackhawks are the last team standing, crowned Stanley Cup champions. Duncan Keith deservedly won the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP, , and I'm sure there wasn't a dry eye watching 40-year old Kimmo Timonen lift the Cup for the first time in his career. I picked the...
3 Stars of Stanley Cup Final Game 6

3 Stars of Stanley Cup Final Game 6

June 16th, 2015 One of the things that stood out to me about hockey when I was younger was the “Three Stars of the Game” after each game. It was, different, like everything in hockey was to me when learning the game. It was reminiscent of the “Hero & Goat” caricatures by the late, great Bill Gallo that I read in the NY Daily News after...
Kimmo Timonen Not to Blame for Blackhawks' Deficit

Kimmo Timonen Not to Blame for Blackhawks' Deficit

May 26th, 2015 Kimmo Timonen's brief tenure in Chicago hasn't gone exactly as planned. In 15 playoff games with the Blackhawks, the 40-year-old blue liner has been held completely scoreless on a minuscule 9:25 of average time on ice per game. Clearly, this isn't what GM Stand Bowman had in mind when dealing for the 15-year veteran. But if all the...
The Blackhawks Are Digging Their Own Grave

The Blackhawks Are Digging Their Own Grave

May 22nd, 2015 While the series may have been locked at 1-1 heading into Wednesday night's game, another matchup was a lopsided advantage for the Ducks: hits. The Ducks outhit the Blackhawks 115-79 through two games, and it was not done by accident. Last night, the trend continued as the Ducks outhit the Blackhawks 45-27 as the Ducks took a 2-1...

Blackhawks' Key Deadline Acquisitions: How Are They Fitting In?

April 1st, 2015 At this year's edition of the NHL trade deadline, the Chicago Blackhawks made two sizable splashes in an attempt to supplement their roster. At the heart of such attempts was the goal of maintaining their status as a legitimate contender in the Western Conference. While the Los Angeles Kings picked up the most sought after defenseman on...

Top 10 Candidates to Win the 2015 Masterton Memorial Trophy

March 10th, 2015 Since 1968, the NHL has annually awarded the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy to the "player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey."
