NHL
The Bob
Jan 28th
By Matthew Schultz aka MattDMC
As many of you may have noticed by the banner in my signature and many of my posts, I’ve made it fairly obvious that I collect Sergei Bobrovsky and that he is my favorite goalie in the league. With that said here’s the story of how he became my favorite and how the collection began.
Now, I will admit I haven’t been a hockey fan for long and haven’t followed the game as long as most of the members on the site but when I finally did get into it, I was hooked. When I was More >
A Monotonous Tone to an Exciting Season: A Look at my Eastern Conference Predictions
Jan 28th
By Cole Feinbloom aka cfagent0
This year’s shortened NHL season is going to prove to be a monotonous challenge, so to speak. Fans, although ecstatic that hockey is back, are more than likely not too excited about the schedule. Not facing off against out-of-conference opponents, playing against teams twice in a row, and what seems like an ultra-repetitive schedule in general might make fans shy away from the sport a bit. But for those dedicated fans who stuck with the league through the lockout, and look to stay dedicated to their team throughout the season, this article is for you. I More >
P.K. Subban and His Future in Montreal
Jan 24th
by RGM81 aka Richard McAdam
The face of the Canadiens? While the Habs have begun their 2012-13 season, P.K. Subban still awaits a new contract.
Throughout the summer of 2012, Montreal Canadiens fans waited with nervous anticipation for the announcement that the team had re-signed its star blueliner, P.K. Subban. With only a limited window of opportunity before a presumed lockout, other NHL clubs were racing to lock up their key on-ice personnel for as long as possible while the rules still permitted long-term back-diving contracts. Though it was a long-running staple of the Canadiens’ philosophy to avoid those types of larger More >
The NHL Lockout Begins
Sep 17th
by Richard McAdam aka RGM81
Hockey fans across the world are waking up today to a grim reality: for the second time in eight years, the National Hockey League has chosen to lock out its players in an attempt to restructure the collective bargaining agreement with the Players Association. For many fans, both younger ones and fans gained in the past seven seasons due to the game’s incredible growth, this is a new experience. For long-time fans, it is a stark reminder of the events of September 2004. We do not know how long this lockout scenario will endure; we may More >
The Finnish Flash, The Ageless Wonder
Sep 8th
By Jon Maxfield aka DnJcards
In sports, it seems that age is almost as powerful as on field/ice/court play, even more so in a physical contact sport like Football or Ice Hockey. Age determines your selling point on a free agency market/trading market, it determines when you’re supposed to retire. Without exaggeration age is about as important to sports as your talent level. Whether it’s “Completely full of potential” young age of 18-23 years old, the “They’re at their potential, we know what to expect” age of 24-33 years old, the “past their prime, still able bodied” age of 34-36 years old, More >
Seven Years Later, It’s Clear That the 2004-05 Season Was Truly Wasted
Aug 23rd
By Sean McCafferty aka 30ranfordfan
My, how time flies! It seems like just a couple of years ago that the 2005-06 NHL season started. The long awaited end to a yearlong lockout had come, and the NHL was ushering in a new era. One with rules that would promote a better, faster, more exciting game. One with a new breed of superstar unlike any we had seen in a generation.
Gone would be the days that clutching and grabbing would impede the NHL’s best players. With the likes of Sidney Crosby & Alexander Ovechkin now the poster boys for the ‘New NHL’,
