I know these Go Fund Me stunts are nothing more than that – just stunts that have no chance of happening. So, when a group of Flyers fans set up a Go Fund Me site to raise $750 million to buy the Pittsburgh Penguins in response to Mario Lemieux and company exploring a sale, it wasn’t […]

0 comments by on 8/19/2015

The NHL hasn’t decided whether its players will participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. Alex Ovechkin has decided that it doesn’t matter, he’s going. In an interview with Tass in Russia, Ovechkin said that he, and others, will head to Pyeongchang to play for their country: “The same situation was with the […]

Jeremy Jacobs wants to write off Bruins meals as tax deductions

0 comments by on 8/18/2015

Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs has the reputation of being … well, frugal. From going from charter flights to commercial, to making their non-playing employees pay the taxes on their 2011 Stanley Cup rings, the comparison to C. Montgomery Burns seems apt. This comparison will evolve further as Jacobs is currently fighting the IRS to get […]

10 stadiums that should host an outdoor NHL game

0 comments by on 8/10/2015

Gary Bettman said recently that he doesn’t think outdoor hockey games have been overdone. I happen to agree with him. The outdoor games draw big crowds, spike in the ratings and are just plain fun. I went to Yankee Stadium to see the Rangers play the Islanders. At game time it was eight degrees … […]

0 comments by on 8/2/2015

Jonathan Bernier and the Maple Leafs had already started their arbitration hearing and submitted their cases. But before the arbiter could hand down the ruling, the two sides came together and came up with a compromise: A two year deal with a $4.15 cap hit in each season.

Lou Lamoriello sent shockwaves throughout the hockey world on Thursday when it was announced that he had resigned from the cushy confines of New Jersey with the Devils as their president to become the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Five teams ready to roar back into the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2015-16

0 comments by on 7/13/2015

The 2014-15 season provided many surprises. Calgary, Winnipeg and Ottawa making the playoffs while the Kings, Bruins, and Avalanche missed out landed all over the spectrum in terms of surprise. One thing is for certain is that nothing is for certain, so don’t expect the same 16 teams to battle next April for the Stanley […]

Five NHL coaches on the hot seat for 2015-16

0 comments by on 7/8/2015

Coaches are hired to be fired. It’s understood within the business. Next season will be no different when it comes to NHL coaches being in danger of losing their jobs. There’s pressure on all coaches, but some enter 2015-16 with more than others. Here are a few that stand out for having the stove turned […]

Connor McDavid tantalizes in Oilers scrimmage

0 comments by on 7/7/2015

Connor McDavid tantalized Oilers fans with a scented whiff of what’s to come in October as he scored five of eight goals in an 8-6 victory for the White team over the Blue team. Sure, it was a scrimmage that featured 4-on-4 and 3-on-3 competition, but if this is what we can expect going forward, […]

America’s hero goes to Washington: T.J. Oshie is a Capital

0 comments by on 7/2/2015

It would make sense that the hockey player who was the symbol of American patriotism at the last Winter Olympics will now make his living in the nation’s capital. T.J. Oshie was traded to the Washington Capitals today in exchange for Troy Brouwer, minor league goalie Pheonix Copley, and a 2016 third round pick. Oshie […]

Marc Savard getting traded in 2015 is ridiculous

0 comments by

Funny … After I went on about how the Boston Bruins were driving their fans insane, they actually had a pretty good week. They traded Martin Jones, who they got in the Milan Lucic deal, for a 2016 first round pick and a prospect. And on Wednesday, they made a seemingly innocuous trade when then […]

The Boston Bruins are driving their fans crazy

0 comments by on 6/30/2015

It has been an interesting 96 hours for the Boston Bruins. A Bruins fan might tell you that by “interesting”, I mean “horrific”. Since Friday, the B’s, with new GM and former Bruin Don Sweeney running the show, traded fan favorite Milan Lucic to the LA Kings for two players and the 13th overall pick, […]

Islanders wheel Griffin Reinhart to Oilers for picks

0 comments by on 6/27/2015

The Islanders started draft night with no picks in the first round, but Garth Snow dealt his way in with two trades. The first trade they made was interesting, as top prospect defenseman Griffin Reinhart went to the Edmonton Oilers for picks 16 in the first round and 33 in the second round. Reinhart was […]
