Lightning Finding Amazing Value in Bogosian

August 29th, 2020 Heading into the 2020 NHL trade deadline, it was clear that the Tampa Bay Lightning would be buyers.

Lightning Finding Their Postseason Magic Once Again

August 20th, 2020 If you had told Tampa Bay Lightning fans that the team would eliminate the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1 before the start of the 2019 Playoffs, the general response wouldn't have been excitement, but the statement "Wow, the Blue Jackets stole a game..."

Bruins, Other Top Teams May Not Love Possible Playoff Structure

March 18th, 2020 Obviously, right now no one really knows when or if the 2019-20 National Hockey League season will resume. If it does, and it seems like the league wants to do everything it can to make that happen after the Coronavirus risk passes, it's not clear just what form the resumed season will take. However, on Monday, a possible 2020 NHL...

Why the NHL Should Integrate Goal Line Technology

Why the NHL Should Integrate Goal Line Technology

May 1st, 2018 If Game 2 of the Washington Capitals versus Pittsburgh Penguins series taught us anything, it was that there is still no conclusive ruling on what a controversial goal is or is not.

In Defense of the NHL Playoff Format

In Defense of the NHL Playoff Format

April 5th, 2018 As the 2017-18 National Hockey League season winds down and the Stanley Cup Playoffs approach, it is becoming increasingly apparent the current playoff format, introduced for 2013-14, is widely despised.
