0 comments by on 5/19/2016

Phil Kessel is finally getting the praise he deserves. The Kessel narrative has long been an unfair one. Since joining the NHL, Kessel has become one of the best scorers in the league. He’s also survived cancer. But after getting traded from the Boston Bruins to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2009, Kessel had drawn mostly […]

It might be time for the Blue Jackets to trade Sergei Bobrovsky

What should the Columbus Blue Jackets do with Bob? The Blue Jackets long had a goalie carousel of underachievers which ended with Steve Mason imploding. Acquiring Sergei Bobrovsky from the Philadelphia Flyers for three draft picks instantly brought the team much-needed stability between the pipes. Bobrovsky joined the league’s elite netminders when he burst onto the […]

Ken Hitchcock doesn’t want a multi-year deal because he might “get sloppy”

0 comments by on 5/13/2016

Ken Hitchcock isn’t looking to cash in. Despite guiding the St. Louis Blues to the Western Conference Finals,  Hitchcock hasn’t necessarily helped. Between questionable coaching decisions, such as not playing Vladimir Tarasenko nearly enough time, to his team routinely getting outplayed, the Blues are lucky to be where they’re at. Hitchcock was likely a goner if […]

With the NHL draft coming in June, the debate of who should be selected first overall rages on. U.S. center Auston Matthews is the consensus number one pick.
