But there are some goals that are so etched into franchise history that they stand out above all the others. Compiled here are the best of the best. Note: They are not ranked in any particular order of importance. Brad May's Overtime Series-Clinching...
Where Are They Now?

Where Are They Now?

April 4th, 2016 Do you remember when Jonathan Cheechoo scored 93 points in a single season with the San Jose Sharks or when Cam Barker was selected third overall in 2004 and you were expecting them to be your team’s new shooting star? Suddenly those names have disappeared and you lost track of those guys. What are they up to and how have their careers...

Whom Should The Isles Target in 2010?

July 28th, 2010 Has Garth Snow added enough pieces to his roster if he expects the Isles to make the playoffs next year? Or should he continue to make a few calls?

Why the Atlanta Thrashers Will Make the Playoffs

GM Don Waddell believes that his team is a buyer and can make the playoffs. I wholeheartedly agree with this, and will take it one step further and say the Thrashers are going to make the playoffs. Before I get ragged on for predicting this, hear me out. Yes, the Thrashers traded away Ilya Kovalchuk, arguably the best player the...

Florida Panthers Continue to Give Out Free Hockey; PLUS Another Addition to the “Only the Panthers” File…

December 8th, 2009 Fans of the Florida Panthers are having a heck of time figuring out how to feel about their home team.  7 of the team’s 15 home games have gone to extra time.  Free hockey, as the saying goes, for those who paid for 60 minutes.  The Cats have gone to OT 5 times on the road, for a total of 12 of 30 games needing additional...
Top 20 Fastest NHL Skaters

Top 20 Fastest NHL Skaters

Vote Now for the Second Annual "Biggest Bust of the Year Award"!

May 6th, 2009 This is something I started last season when writing in the minor leagues of online blogging, a website known as Bleacher Report. The award title was a little bit different, it was formerly known as the "Biggest Waste of an NHL Roster Spot Award". But I thought that it would be better to shorten it up a little bit and add new criteria....
