How can the Dallas Stars fix their dreadful goaltending?

The Dallas Stars took a step forward this year in many aspects. They won the Central Division with 109 points (their most since 2006-2007) a year after falling short of a postseason berth in 2014-2015. The faces of the franchise – Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn – and the rest of the Stars’ electric offense was […]

The Washington Capitals shouldn’t change a thing

Blow it all up! Trade Alexander Ovechkin! Fire Barry Trotz! Change the entire team! Hold your horses and settle down that raw emotion. The Capitals fell to the Penguins in the Eastern Conference semis in six games. It was a hard fought series from both sides and was top notch entertainment from two of the league’s best. […]

It’s odd to think that at this time of the year the Chicago Blackhawks are focused on the offseason rather than contending for a Stanley Cup. The Hawks tend to deal with there mortal enemy the salary cap only after they are champions. The Hawks went all in this year. It’s peculiar to see them out so […]

Jonathan Drouin is seizing his opportunity

It didn’t seem that it was meant to be. Rewind back to the regular season. Back to the days when Jonathan Drouin was requesting a trade from the Tampa Bay Lightning and taking part in a rare hockey maneuver – holding out. Drouin refused to play for the Lightning and wouldn’t return to NHL action […]

What does Steven Stamkos really want?

0 comments by Jacob Stoller on 5/7/2016

The NHL’s biggest free agent is going to have plenty of options to choose from when July 1st rolls around. Scorers capable of 50+ goals a season don’t find their way into the free agent market too often. While Stamkos may have lots of options and lots of suitors for his services, we must evaluate what Steven […]

Frustrations are starting to boil over with the NHL’s review system and particularly with the coach’s challenge starting to become a headache, factoring in several close games. Fans are split […]
