2020 HHOF Misses - Fleury, Mogilny, Chabot, CuJo & More

2020 HHOF Misses - Fleury, Mogilny, Chabot, CuJo & More

July 2nd, 2020 This past week was a big day for a few former hockey players both NHL and when it comes to the women’s international game. On Wednesday, June 24, the Hockey Hall of Fame announced its 2020 inductees - including Doug Wilson, Kevin Lowe, Kim St. Pierre, Ken Holland (under the builder’s category) and first-ballot players in Jarome...
Tape2Tape: Kassian, Tkachuk and the Coming War

Tape2Tape: Kassian, Tkachuk and the Coming War

January 16th, 2020 By now, we’ve all seen the tape of Calgary Flames’ forward and super-pest Matthew Tkachuk hitting Edmonton Oilers’ forward Zack Kassian and the latter rag-dolling Tkachuk following the last hit. Kassian was handed a four-minute double minor and the Flames would go on to win that instalment of the Battle of Alberta. But I’m...
2020 World Juniors: Controversies & Questions Remain

2020 World Juniors: Controversies & Questions Remain

January 7th, 2020 It’s a tournament that brings the world together over the holiday season - one that unites some of the best junior players from across the world in a best-on-best under-20 tournament so that one country can call themselves the best - at least for the next year. While there seems to be more and more quality competition on a yearly...
Tape2Tape: Should Fines Stem From Thornton-Mrazek Melee?

Tape2Tape: Should Fines Stem From Thornton-Mrazek Melee?

December 6th, 2019 Goalies walk a fine line when they swing their sticks in an attempt to slash opposing players - whether it be in front of their nets or as they skate by their crease. Often players will retaliate causing a dust up between those on the ice and creating more animosity in a game that already carries a fair amount of that from the second...
Tape2Tape: Did the Canadiens Ruin Alex Galchenyuk?

Tape2Tape: Did the Canadiens Ruin Alex Galchenyuk?

October 20th, 2019 To ruin something is to reduce to a state of decay, collapse, or disintegration. We often talk about how players, coaches or teams can specifically ruin their respective careers or seasons by being unable to put it all together at once and get into the winning column. But it isn’t as often that we discuss a specific team and how they...
Tape2Tape: Patrick Marleau, the Forgotten Leader

Tape2Tape: Patrick Marleau, the Forgotten Leader

September 9th, 2019 It’s a game that favours youth now - at least that seems to be the trend in the NHL these days. Teams are more willing to give opportunities to younger players and bring veterans in on professional tryouts (PTOs) than pay an established player whose career seems to be tailing off. For Patrick Marleau, that was the case in San Jose...
Tape2Tape: Bruins Benefitting From Shift in Officiating

Tape2Tape: Bruins Benefitting From Shift in Officiating

May 7th, 2019 I’m not a conspiracy theorist by any means. In fact, give me the chance to debunk conspiracies and I’ll do my best to do so. That said, there’s something fishy going on with the officiating surrounding the Boston Bruins thus far in the NHL’s postseason. Say what you will about their style of play and the difference between...
The NHL's Department of Player Safety - A Model of Inconsistency

The NHL's Department of Player Safety - A Model of Inconsistency

April 21st, 2019 Personally, I think it’s been one of the best years in a while when it comes to supplemental discipline handed down from the NHL’s Department of Player Safety (DoPS). For the most part, they’ve been consistent and relatively fair in terms of who they suspend and for how long. Players like Evgeni Malkin and Connor McDavid even...
Tape2Tape: Canucks' Michael DiPietro and Overcoming Controversy

Tape2Tape: Canucks' Michael DiPietro and Overcoming Controversy

February 20th, 2019 It was a little over a week ago, on Feb. 11, 19-year-old Michael DiPietro made his NHL debut for the Vancouver Canucks against the San Jose Sharks. A third-round pick of the Canucks (64th overall) DiPietro had already seen one change in colours this season when his former junior club, the Windsor Spitfires, moved the young goaltender to...
Tape2Tape: Is Rittich Worthy of MVP Consideration?

Tape2Tape: Is Rittich Worthy of MVP Consideration?

February 17th, 2019 It wouldn’t be fair to say that David Rittich came out of nowhere for the Calgary Flames - after all this is the third season in which he’s appeared in an NHL game. That said, this is the first season in which he’s become a household name for fans of the league. While you still wouldn’t put him amongst the game’s...
Tape2Tape: Marner's Absence & My Annual All-Star Frustration

Tape2Tape: Marner's Absence & My Annual All-Star Frustration

January 9th, 2019 It seems like we have a conversation about this particular weekend on the NHL’s schedule on a yearly basis - at least I do. I’ve written about previous all-star snubs, whether changes are needed to the NHL All-Star Game and even went as far as questioning whether the NHL should rid itself of the All-Star Game altogether. But...
Maple Leafs: What's Nylander Actually Worth?

Maple Leafs: What's Nylander Actually Worth?

November 6th, 2018 The first month of the NHL season has come and gone. The clocks fell back an hour, and we’re nearly a week into November and, still, William Nylander’s blue and white Toronto Maple Leafs jersey sits untarnished somewhere in the depths of Scotiabank Arena. Now, with the Dec. 1 deadline looming less than a month away, the...
The NHL's Most Underrated Superstar

The NHL's Most Underrated Superstar

September 19th, 2018 A superstar is a high-profile and extremely successful performer or athlete and it’s safe to say that the NHL has a handful of them littered around the league. While all of them are individually recognized for their pure skill and uncanny ability to dominate the game, some of them have flown under the radar - at least when it comes to...
Should Islanders' Fans Temper Tavares Frustrations?

Should Islanders' Fans Temper Tavares Frustrations?

July 17th, 2018 It was bound to happen. Fans of the New York Islanders are already turning their backs on their former captain - criticizing him for leaving and heading home to Toronto to play for the his childhood Maple Leafs. Granted it’s not all Islanders’ fans, just a select few within their following who’ve decided to direct their...
Maple Leafs and Bruins, Cue the Nightmares

Maple Leafs and Bruins, Cue the Nightmares

April 9th, 2018 Fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs watched on carefully as the Boston Bruins took on the Florida Panthers on Sunday in the final game of the NHL’s regular season. While the Panthers had already been eliminated from playoff contention, the outcome determined whether the Leafs would meet the Bruins or Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round...
