Forbes announced their annual list of team valuations for the NHL. The Toronto Maple Leafs continue their reign atop the list, but what would it mean if another team came to Canada, and maybe even Toronto?

I guess there is something to be said about businesses that work around the clock. In a Jim Irsay like fashion, the Anaheim Ducks made changes that would shake the franchise overnight. Rather than picking the team up and moving, it was announced late last night that head coach Randy Carlyle was relieved of his […]

That escalated quickly. It used to be that teams would wait until Christmas before making any rash decisions with their coaching staff, no matter the team’s record. But today changed all of that. After Bruce Boudeau got the axe this morning, Paul Maurice got his walking order from the Canes. It has been a […]

The NHL is far from a perfect league and I’m sure there are many things we would all like to change. Me personally, I’m distressed that there are no longer any Ulfs in the league. From birth I had always had an Ulf in the league. First Ulf Nilsson, later to be followed by Ulf […]

That I’m Able To Play Hockey I mean that both physically and financially. I’m fortunate enough to have both the money and able (albeit out of shape) […]

It seems like the staple of the past few seasons was that the Oilers are going to suck. It’s been a safe bet. They were lacking in talent beyond Hemsky, they’ve been injury plagued (especially Hemsky), and they have had questionable goaltending at best. It appears that this is the case no longer. While the […]

Oh beautiful British Columbia, how you are Canada’s paradox. You are the land of the Super Natural. I’ve seen your majestic mountains, stunning ocean and beautiful urban parks. You have it all West Coasters; Gentle winters, liberal politicians, booming film industry, affluent citizens and a commendable appreciation for CFL. You even had the Olympics. You […]

Have you heard that Sidney Crosby is coming back? No? Well now you have. If you are like most people, chances are you’ve already heard that he is coming back tonight somewhere around 2,000 times. The entire hockey media world has stopped and proceeded to make their pilgrimage to Pittsburgh as Crosby will be in […]
