Avalanche Need Depth in Free Agency
June 29th, 2017 After their dismal 48-point season and the fact that Matt Duchene seems likely to be traded during the offseason, it’s clear that the Colorado Avalanche are entering another rebuild. Therefore, the team should avoid making any big splashes when free agency opens up this Saturday, July 1. With holes at forward, defense, and now...
Senators Success Fueled by Depth
March 14th, 2017 They aren’t setting the league on fire, they don’t have much star power and they definitely don’t strike fear into the hearts of their opponents in the way some of the best do. But don’t tell that to the Ottawa Senators, who have forged their own path to success in 2016-17. The usual suspects – Erik Karlsson, Kyle Turris,...

Senators Deadline Deals Paying Off
March 11th, 2017 Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion's trade deadline moves signaled he wants his team to take the next step as a franchise.

Stempniak Stepping Up
October 27th, 2016 Lee Stempniak is stepping up. In this freshly minted NHL season, the Carolina Hurricanes forward is tied with Victor Rask for the team lead in goals scored (4), and shares second with Jeff Skinner in total points (6).

Hurricanes Continue to Build the Right Way
July 3rd, 2016 Day one of NHL free agency is always a crazy day across the league. Teams who are eager to improve immediately hand out big dollars to players over long contracts, and in many cases, they end up regretting it. The Carolina Hurricanes didn't do that on July 1. The Hurricanes have insisted on building their organization in a way that...

NHL's Inconsistency Making News Again
April 20th, 2016 If you weren’t tuning into the NHL prior to start of the playoffs, I’d first like to ask why? Regardless of your reasons, you may have missed Blackhawks’ Duncan Keith taking a solid stick swing at the face of Wild forward Charlie Coyle. The incident (or act) cost Keith the remaining five games of the regular season and Game 1 of...
Emerson Etem Makes His Case

Rangers Great Start Powered by Different Elements
October 13th, 2015 The New York Rangers have come out of the gate strong (3-0-0), and their best assets have been their speed, their physical play, and goaltending.
