Boston’s Depth To Thank For Victory Over Toronto

While David Pastrnak and Linus Ullmark fielded questions from the myriad of media outlets yesterday at the NHL’s 2023 All-Star game festivities, backdropped by a picturesque South Florida sandy beach. New Englanders were gearing up for what is set to be a historically frigid weekend. Wind chills will make the outside air dip down into […]

Los Angeles Kings: C is for Consistency

Having been a Kings fan since the mid-’90s, I have seen the ups and downs, and almost there. Then in 2011-12, the long fantasy finally came true, and with Alec Martinez(now with the Golden Knights) and his jazz hands, we won a cup. Then a year later, we got blessed again. Hyping the fans up […]

Making the Case For Lightning’s Stamkos as a Hall of Famer

In an era dominated by defense, the goal scorers don’t always get the recognition they deserve. If they miss substantial time due to injury or illness over the course of their career, the chances of them making it into the Hockey Hall of Fame is probably slim. An honor reserved for the best of the […]

Buffalo Emerging As Most Logical Landing Spot For Veteran Defenseman

The Buffalo Sabres have been a surprise around the NHL this season as they currently sit fourth in the Atlantic Division and third in the Eastern Conference Wild Card race with a 26-19-4 record and 56 points. They trail the Pittsburgh Penguins by just one point for the second Wild Card spot and the Washington […]

Boston Bruins’ Top Assets For the 2023 Trade Deadline

The NHL-leading Bruins have 80 points and are atop the Atlantic Division as they pursue a return to the Stanley Finals, looking to bring home the Cup for the first time since 2011. While this […]

Avalanche Getting Back on Track

The season after winning the Stanley Cup is usually a tough one for the team that wins it. They sometimes start off slow, run into injury problems, play against teams that have figured out ways to stop them, etc. It is usually never easy. A good example of this is this year’s Colorado Avalanche. The […]

Time to Start Believing in the Devils

Going into the season, many in the hockey world figured that the New Jersey Devils would be better than they were last season. That really was not going to be hard to accomplish. All the team had to do to be better than they were last season was get good/healthy goaltending, put the puck in the net more, and win […]

Not Trusting the Maple Leafs When It Matters Most

I want to preface this blog by saying that I have a lot of respect for the Toronto Maple Leafs as a National Hockey League franchise. They have won Stanley Cups, have had a ton of Hockey Hall of Famers as part of their franchise, have one of the most passionate fan bases in the league, and of course, they are […]

Dahlin Having Standout Season in Buffalo

There is no doubt that being a Buffalo Sabres fan is not easy. For starters, they do not make the Stanley Cup playoffs a lot. Year in and year out, they end up close to the bottom of the standings and end up watching the postseason instead of playing in them. Secondly, the Sabres give […]

A Change of Scenery Would Help Kevin Hayes

The Philadelphia Flyers have been a really tough team to figure out this season. Some weeks, they look like the worst team in the league. It is during these weeks when they cannot put the puck in the net, does not play well defensively, and generally lose a lot of hockey games. In other weeks, […]
