Goaltenders and the Hockey Hall of Fame: Not Just About the Numbers

When one thinks of Hall of Fame caliber players in any professional sport, one usually thinks of an athlete with outstanding numbers, a plethora of personal awards, and who played a big part in helping their team win a championship.

Reasonable Expectations for the Edmonton Oilers

If we turned the calendar back exactly a year, we’d see the Edmonton Oilers in a glaringly similar position as they are today. A 6-4 loss at home against the lowly Ottawa Senators on January 15 dropped the Oilers’ record to 18-15-2, and the season’s outlook would seem even more grim after fans watched their […]

Is 2023 The Year Of The Kraken?

Not much was thought of this team heading into the 2022-23 season. Only their second year as an NHL franchise, the Kraken are on the up and up.

Bo Horvat To Boston?

Once again, the March 3rd trade deadline approaches, and once again, the Boston Bruins are linked to all the big names on the market. It is no surprise, though, as general manager Don Sweeney is known for his big deadline deals, with his two most recent ones netting the Bruins Taylor Hall and Hampus Lindholm. […]

Could The Colorado Avalanche Go All In On Bo Horvat?

After winning the Stanley Cup last season with what can be considered a juggernaut of a team, the Avalanche have fallen on hard times halfway through the 2022-23 season. Their lack of success this season can be attributed to injury as the team was decimated, losing star after star. They also lost their second-line center […]

The Bruins are a Well-Oiled Machine

It is safe to say that the Boston Bruins are a winning-hockey machine. As of this writing (Tuesday, January 10), the Bruins are first in the Atlantic Division and the entire NHL with 68 points, thanks to a 32-4–4 record. The closest teams behind them, the Carolina Hurricanes (57 points) and Toronto Maple Leafs (57 […]
