Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Remembered

September 7th, 2020 *Originally written in September 2012* On September 6, 2012, there was cause for celebration in Yaroslavl, Russia.

Maple Leafs' Recent Dealings With the Senators

September 16th, 2018 Bitter rivals for years and regular opponents in the playoffs during the early 2000s, it’s understandable that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators have rarely come to terms when it comes to trades. With just one move in the last 20 years between the two clubs, we had to go all the way back to 1933 to find the fifth most...

Blues’ Lack of Scoring Dooms Season... Again

May 11th, 2013 The prototypical Blues fan can speak up yet again.

Minnesota Wild: A Tradition of Busted Hopes

January 2nd, 2013 Much like the New Year, a new NHL season is also a time to hope.

Are Parise and Suter Worth 196 Million?

July 5th, 2012 Minnesota has suffered. It has for a while. Zach Parise, Ryan Suter, and 196 million dollars changes it all. The Minnesota Vikings are 0-4 in Super Bowls and their best two teams in franchise history never made the Super Bowl; 1998 and 2009. Gary Anderson missed wide left after being perfect the entire season in 1998 after a 15-1...

KHL Team Charter Crashes, Hockey Tragedies Keep Piling Up

September 7th, 2011 Waking up this morning and turning on Twitter I am usually looking for something good to get my day going.
