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 […]

Suck it, Vancouver. Yep, that’s right. A typical “What I’m Thankful For” post. I’m an American. Deal with it. I’m just going to get right into it. 1. 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 […]

Growing up in Edmonton, hockey was part of my life from a young age. While I was the only one in my class that didn’t lace them up to play minor hockey, as my parents were in favour of less violent alternatives, I was a hockey fan from a young age. Colorado and Florida in […]

“When you’re going for a rebound, you’re not in a clear state of mind. You’re blinded. You’re glorifying something that’s coming along right now; just because they’re convenient. … (Rebounds) come back to haunt you. … Don’t do a rebound. They are the worst thing that you can do.” Rebounds, according to Asaka […]

[benderIntro] I imagine most of you reading this have already heard the tragic story of 16-year old Kyle Fundytus who died after taking a slapshot to the throat when attempting to block a shot.

During my time with one of my previous employers, I had a fantasy hockey column called Free Agent Finds. This was a quick look around the league to find performers that are worth owning yet might have been overlooked in your specific fantasy league. With any luck, you can then run out and secure said […]
