Predators Focusing on Special Teams With Acquisitions

Predators Focusing on Special Teams With Acquisitions

October 28th, 2020 It’s fair to say that one of the reasons the Nashville Predators finished sixth in the Western Conference and were eliminated by the Arizona Coyotes in the Qualifying Round of the 2020 NHL Playoffs was their ineffective special teams. Their power play was stagnant, ranked 25th in the NHL, while the penalty kill was even worse at 29th....
Lightning's Penalty Kill Is 'Killing It'

Lightning's Penalty Kill Is 'Killing It'

October 18th, 2018 What may have been lost in the Tampa Bay Lightning's eight goal shellacking of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 13 was the dominance of the teams often maligned penalty kill. The unit went five for five on the night, keeping Columbus off the scoreboard at the most vital of times. This continued into their next game against...
Lightning's Potent Power Play

Lightning's Potent Power Play

December 26th, 2017 At the end of the 2015-16 regular season, Tampa Bay Lightning fans had one question keeping them up at night... How did a team that featured star offensive players like Steven Stamkos, Tyler Johnson, and Victor Hedman have the 28th ranked power play? The Lightning were ranked 12th in scoring, yet on the power play, they looked...
Lightning Power Play Clicks in Season Opener

Lightning Power Play Clicks in Season Opener

October 14th, 2016 The Tampa Bay Lightning opened the regular season with a 6-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings in a game that picked up right where the teams left off in the 2016 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. For the Lightning, one thing was very different. The power play clicked. Down 2-0 in the second period, Jonathan Drouin netted a...
Todd Richards Named Assistant Coach of Tampa Bay Lightning

Todd Richards Named Assistant Coach of Tampa Bay Lightning

June 7th, 2016 The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced former Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild head coach Todd Richards as the team's new assistant coach. He replaces the departing Steve Thomas on the Bolts bench. The 49-year-old Richards has a wealth of experience coaching in the NHL and on the international stage. He's been head coach for...
Blue Jackets Fans Deserve Better

Blue Jackets Fans Deserve Better

November 12th, 2015 The year that Blue Jackets fans were waiting for was finally here. After enduring a brutal 2014-15 season full of never-ending injuries and heartache, fans had much to cheer about during the team's incredible 15-1-1 stretch to end the season. Although the Blue Jackets missed out on the playoffs, there was a buzz in the air around...
Todd Richards Fired, John Tortorella Hired

Todd Richards Fired, John Tortorella Hired

October 21st, 2015 The Columbus Blue Jackets seventh straight loss to start the 2015-16 season was the straw that broke the camel's back. The Blue Jackets have reportedly fired head coach Todd Richards and are bringing in future U.S. National Team coach, John Tortorella to save their season, according to Darren Dreger. Tuesday's game, a 4-0 loss to the...
Blue Jackets Trade Talk, and Todd Richards

Blue Jackets Trade Talk, and Todd Richards

October 20th, 2015 So let's fire Todd Richards, and trade Kerby Rychel for P. K. Subban, Kris Letang, and Drew Doughty. No? If you follow the Blue Jackets talk on Twitter, this is what a smart team would do. Still no? Alright then. Realistically, Columbus General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen is in a very difficult position. From a trade standpoint,...
Mistakes At All Levels Dooming Blue Jackets

Mistakes At All Levels Dooming Blue Jackets

October 18th, 2015 When your team starts a season with the highest expectations they've ever had, an 0-6 record is completely unacceptable. Yet, that's where the Columbus Blue Jackets find themselves after a 4-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks Saturday. The big question that everyone's asking is, who's to blame for all of this? Is it the players who at...
What's Really Going On In Columbus?

What's Really Going On In Columbus?

October 15th, 2015 What a difference two weeks can make. The Columbus Blue Jackets finished the preseason on a high note. Their first team played lights out in handing the Nashville Predators a convincing defeat. The night before,  a team  of mostly Blue Jackets minor leaguers went to Buffalo and defeated the Sabres, who were playing their projected...
Could another slow start be a fatal blow for Todd Richards

Could another slow start be a fatal blow for Todd Richards

October 7th, 2015 A new season means a fresh start—a clean state with glimmering hope and endless possibilities. But as the records reset each October, the Columbus Blue Jackets once again find themselves asking a familiar question: How do we pickup where we left off? It’s a legitimate and often maddening question for Blue Jacket fans, and...
Path to Postseason a Promising One for Blue Jackets

Path to Postseason a Promising One for Blue Jackets

August 28th, 2015 The Columbus Blue Jackets failed to reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2015-- a disappointing result for a season that promised so much. After qualifying for the postseason for just the second time in franchise history in 2014, the Blue Jackets won their first playoff game but lost the series in six games to the Pittsburgh...

Todd Richards Adds Bronze To Impressive Resume

Todd Richards Adds Bronze To Impressive Resume

May 18th, 2015 We knew that Todd Richards was a good coach.  But even this performance was unexpected. After losing in the semifinal to Russia, Team USA rallied to beat the host Czech Republic to capture a bronze medal in the IIHF World Hockey Tournament.  This marks the 2nd medal the Americans have won in the past 3 World Championships. Not...
Solid Penalty Killing Leads the Way for USA Hockey

Solid Penalty Killing Leads the Way for USA Hockey

May 13th, 2015 Team USA hockey has turned a lot of heads at the 2015 IIHF World Championships, and one reason has been a great penalty kill. USA Hockey has only given up two man-down goals in 22 attempts, which is fourth in the tournament. They were second for most of the tournament before Slovakia scored on the power play Tuesday.
