Phil Kessel: A Slumping Star

Phil Kessel: A Slumping Star

January 20th, 2016 A few short months ago, the city of Pittsburgh erupted when General manager Jim Rutherford announced he had traded for the goal scoring wing Phil Kessel. Not only because Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin were finally getting the elite wing "they deserved" but because the cost of acquisition was minimal. Young defender Scott Harrington,...
Garret Sparks, Nick Spaling Out Till After Christmas

Garret Sparks, Nick Spaling Out Till After Christmas

December 18th, 2015 The Toronto Maple Leafs lost both forward Nick Spaling and de factor starting goaltender Garret Sparks in the first period of Thursday's overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks. On Friday, the team announced that both will be out through the holiday break at a minimum, according to The Canadian Press's Stephen Whyno. That means the...
Leafs Lose Garret Sparks, Nick Spaling on Thursday

Leafs Lose Garret Sparks, Nick Spaling on Thursday

December 17th, 2015 The Toronto Maple Leafs didn't even make it out of the first period on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks without losing a couple of players. Nick Spaling played just a single shift before heading to the locker room. The team announced that he sustained an upper-body injury and won't return to the game. With Jonathan Bernier...
Pittsburgh Penguins: Revisiting the James Neal Trade

Pittsburgh Penguins: Revisiting the James Neal Trade

December 5th, 2015 During the 2014 NHL entry draft the Pittsburgh Penguins made a trade and it was a big one. They sent the goal scoring wing James Neal to the Nashville Predators for forwards Nick Spaling and Patric Hornqvist. I was not a fan of this trade when it happened and I'm still not a fan to this date. Hornqvist has been a positive addition to the...
Phil Kessel a Hidden Gem

Phil Kessel a Hidden Gem

November 30th, 2015 Phil Kessel has not missed a game since returning from shoulder surgery in 2009. He spent six years wasting away as a part of the continually disappointing Toronto Maple Leafs and he finally escaped over the offseason. Kessel has a poor reputation because of his physical size, sometimes lackadaisical backchecking and aversion...
Patric Hornqvist Deserves Criticism; Should Not Be Traded

Patric Hornqvist Deserves Criticism; Should Not Be Traded

November 11th, 2015 The date was June 27, 2014 and many of you may know it as the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. That date is also very important in the recent history of the Pittsburgh Penguins. This was the day that one of the most prolific scorers, James Neal, was traded to the Nashville Predators for forwards Patric Hornqvist and Nick Spaling. It was a trade...
Trade Analysis: Todd Bertuzzi

Trade Analysis: Todd Bertuzzi

June 24th, 2015 Todd Bertuzzi’s legacy in the NHL is an interesting one. The 6-foot-3 winger from Ontario was drafted in the 1st round by the New York Islanders in 1993, but never really lived up to expectations while on the Island. He played parts of three seasons on Long Island and had a high of 39 points in 76 games as a 20-year-old. He was only...
A Look Back: The Neal - Hornqvist Deal

A Look Back: The Neal - Hornqvist Deal

June 5th, 2015 View image | gettyimages.com Last season was the first one James Neal and Patric Hornqvist spent with their new teams. On June 27th, 2014, Neal was traded to Nashville for Hornqvist and bottom-six player Nick Spaling. At the time, many viewed this as a huge coup for Nashville, in that they had just acquired a premier...
