Patrick Holland: An NHL Player in the Making

Patrick Holland: An NHL Player in the Making

November 2nd, 2013 When injuries wreaked havoc on the Montreal Canadiens, Patrick Holland received a call from GM Marc Bergevin to join the team. While his minutes were limited, the 21-year-old showcased his skills at the NHL level through with the Habs. Prior to his promotion, Holland had posted a goal and an assist through four games with the...

Capitals Make Right Call in Keeping Tom Wilson

The Washington Capitals have elected to keep 19-year-old rookie right wing Tom Wilson past the 10-game mark, meaning this season will count against his entry-level contract. In doing so, General Manager George McPhee and Head Coach Adam Oates have chosen to develop the rugged and skilled Toronto-born forward on the big club instead...
Montreal Canadiens: Brendan Gallagher A Serious Calder Candidate

Montreal Canadiens: Brendan Gallagher A Serious Calder Candidate

March 4th, 2013 The Canadiens might have found the offensive spark plug that they have been lacking in recent years in Brendan Gallagher. The feisty winger, who was selected 147th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens, is playing better every game. At just 5’9″, 175-lb (soaked wet), the Edmonton, Alberta native plays like...
The Curious Hate of Nail Yakupov

The Curious Hate of Nail Yakupov

February 18th, 2013 Each year, over 700 hockey players don the jersey of one of the 30 National Hockey League teams. Once they pull the sweater over their heads, they become a part of that team. Their nameplate still sits on the back, but what truly matters is truly the name on the front. Zach Parise is not the superstar signing when he scores, he is just a...
Emerson Etem Showing He Belongs in the NHL

Emerson Etem Showing He Belongs in the NHL

February 7th, 2013 It was midway through the third period last Monday night when I peered down toward the ice at Honda Center and noticed something a bit…different. Daniel Winnik, the team’s leading goal-scorer, was no longer flanking Perry and Getzlaf on the Ducks’ top line as he had been to start the game. Instead, recently recalled WHL...
Vladimir Tarasenko’s Blazing Start is More Than Just Stats

Vladimir Tarasenko’s Blazing Start is More Than Just Stats

January 23rd, 2013 Six minutes and thirty-six seconds, that’s how long it took for Vladimir Tarasenko to introduce himself to the NHL. Fifteen minutes later he made it clear that he was there to stay. His three goals in three games is the most among the Blues forwards despite averaging 14:46 minutes of ice time per game. The stat alone is impressive...
Chris Kreider and the New York Rangers' Dilemma

Chris Kreider and the New York Rangers' Dilemma

January 23rd, 2013 What a difference a year makes. Chris Kreider burst onto the Broadway stage in the 2012 playoffs. After winning a National Championship with Boston College, the Rangers' first round pick in 2009 joined the team's postseason roster, and proceeded to register five goals in 18 playoff games. The impressive run created high...
Why the Rangers' Chris Kreider Will Win the Calder Trophy

Why the Rangers' Chris Kreider Will Win the Calder Trophy

August 29th, 2012 The last 12 months of hockey for Chris Kreider were a whirlwind. At this time one year ago, Kreider was sitting in a classroom, and preparing for his junior season at Boston College.  The 2011-12 season was a memorable one for the 21-year-old. Kreider recorded 45 points in 44 games for BC, while helping them win a NCAA title. And that...
My Apology Letter to the New York Rangers' Chris Kreider

My Apology Letter to the New York Rangers' Chris Kreider

April 29th, 2012 When the Rangers signed Chris Kreider almost three weeks ago, I was skeptical of the impact he would have for the Blueshirts. Like everybody else, I believe that Kreider has the potential to be an all-star in the NHL and a cornerstone for the Rangers for the foreseeable future. Unlike a lot of people, I didn't feel that the talent he...
Gabriel Landeskog: Flying at Altitude

Gabriel Landeskog: Flying at Altitude

November 18th, 2011 If you have had the pleasure to watch the young Swede Gabriel Landeskog play for the Colorado Avalanche don’t be ashamed if you confused him to be a veteran. Landeskog has wasted no time adjusting to the NHL game after being selected second overall by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Thus far Landeskog has posted...
Fabian Brunnstrom: Waiting In The Wings

Fabian Brunnstrom: Waiting In The Wings

October 18th, 2011 There's one player on the roster of the Detroit Red Wings that has yet to see any ice time. That player, as it should be quite clear to you now, is Fabian Brunnstrom. Through the first four games this season the Red Wings are undefeated, and that being the case, it's hard to fault coach Mike Babcock for not inserting Brunnstrom into...
Red Wings' Prospect Gustav Nyquist Impresses During Preseason

Red Wings' Prospect Gustav Nyquist Impresses During Preseason

October 4th, 2011 The Detroit Red Wings organization is one known for drafting excellence. The late round gems the franchise has managed to secure are countless. Pavel Datsyuk (171st overall, 1998), Henrik Zetterberg (210th overall, 1999), Jonathan Ericsson (291st overall, 2002), Johan Franzen (97th overall, 2004), and Darren Helm (132nd overall,...
Blackhawks 2011 Rookies in Review

Blackhawks 2011 Rookies in Review

February 24th, 2011 As the NHL season looks down the final 20 games of the race to the playoffs, it is only natural that fans and writers alike begin turning their attentions to speculating about the various player awards which will be handed out in June. Who might qualify from the Blackhawks?
Sbisa To Hurricanes

Sbisa To Hurricanes

February 2nd, 2009 Don't panic Flyers fans, and certainly don't rejoice you Carolina fans. Yes, Sbisa after 39 games with the Flyers will be moving on to the Hurricanes, but these are the Lethbridge Hurricanes of the WHL, strong contenders not only for the Western Hockey League title but maybe even the Memorial Cup as well. Today on the Flyers website...

Future Star Giroux Nets First NHL Goal

When drafting Claude Giroux 22nd overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Daft the Philadelphia Flyers couldn't have possibly known what they were getting. It wasn't as if they were drafting in the top 5 selections which almost always guarantees a successful pick. While various teams in NHL history have always managed to draft well even with...
