Kit of the Day – The Edmonton Oilers
July 13th, 2018 The National Hockey League version of the Edmonton Oilers has always been an all-or-nothing team. For their first 13 seasons – starting in 1979-80, the Oilers made the playoffs every single year, winning five Stanley Cups and only losing in the first round on three occasions.

How to Fix the Red Wings' Jerseys
July 9th, 2018 The Detroit Red Wings have one of the most iconic sets of jerseys in the National Hockey League – in all of sports, really.

They made two Stanley Cup finals in four seasons, taking the New Jersey Devils to seven games...

June 1st, 2018 Perhaps no team in the National Hockey League had as inauspicious a start as the Washington Capitals. In the entire century-plus of NHL history, the 1974-75 Capitals, one of two expansion teams to enter the league that year (after a horrendously unfair expansion draft from an already depleted league), hold the league’s worst-ever...
