Why You Shouldn’t Care About How You Write, Just Write

Apologies for being slightly off-topic here, but I feel this is the best place for this post as it was NHL writers discussing this topic. Thanks for bearing with me. A debate was started up this morning on Twitter between several prominent NHL writers (among them Dave Lozo, Greg Wyshynski, and others) about the right […]

The Kids Are Alright: Cody Ceci

It’s early in the NHL season and aside from Jets, Islanders and Blue Jackets fans, I can’t imagine too many people have become overly concerned about the entry draft yet. Of course that will change as the season develops and we might as well get started now. Every couple of weeks I’m going to highlight […]

In Swedish Losing is Boring?

I was browsing Swedish Elite League team Djurgarden’s website earlier today, when I came across this bold headline. Apparently Djurgarden player Mario Kempe was none to happy with a recent loss. He didn’t mince words. I initially though it was just a bad translation since I was using Google Translate, so I took it to […]

Puck Drunk Fantasy – Studs Struggling Early

The 2011-12 season has turned the page on October and is in its second month. November is the time where the truth typically comes to light and the cream starts to rise to the surface. Hot starts typically begin to fade and cool starts begin to warm. In the game of fantasy hockey, one of […]

Putting a Fork in Steve Mason

To say that being an NHL goaltender is a difficult job is one of the biggest understatements one can make. In the past 20 years 336 men have tackled that job, only 127 of those players passed the 100 game threshold, and 111 of those goaltenders never passed 10 games. The man who is currently […]

Happy Friday everyone. I know Friday’s can drag on and by the end of the day your brain wants nothing but a cold beverage and some mindless visual stimulation. This being the internet and all, I can only help with the visual stimulation. Here are some eBay puck finds and at the bottom of the […]

Don Maloney’s Fighting an Unwinnable Battle Against Kyle Turris

  During an appearance on local radio station CKOI 104.7 Wednesday evening, Senators director of player development Pierre Dorion said any trade negotiations with the Phoenix Coyotes for Kyle Turris are ‘dead in the water’. (Note: If you’re not up-to-date on the latest Turris happenings, I’ve chronicled the saga here.) In other words, he’s holding […]

Pekka Rinne Re-Signs in Nashville

  Fresh off the heels of the release of this month’s The Hockey News magazine that insinuates that the Nashville Predators may have trouble retaining its three most prominent players, Pekka Rinne’s agent Jay Grossman (

A Round of ‘Shops: Other NHL Product Advertisement Ideas

Based on the new Patrick Kane and Tim Thomas Discover commercials, I found myself wondering what other product/player pairs would be good fits. Here’s what I was able to find out. Matt Cooke and Summer‘s Eve Matt Cooke, being the league’s douche du jour, has teamed up with the industry’s leading provider of feminine hygiene […]

The Age of Discover-y

Believe it or not, it pays to discover. It was announced yesterday through a NHL.com press release that Discover Financial Services and the National Hockey League had the intention of signing a new multi-year sponsorship agreement which would name Discover as an official partner of the NHL. There was no mention as to when the […]

Puck Potpourri-Nathan Horton: Did He Give a Hoot in Florida?

During the 2010 off-season, Nathan Horton was traded from the Florida Panthers to the Boston Bruins with Gregory Campbell in exchange for Dennis Wideman and two draft picks. The Panthers were coming off a terrible season. They finished second last in the Eastern Conference and third to last in the NHL. The Bruins had finished […]

It’s In the Cards: Mario Gosselin

Every Week I’ll be scavenging through my basement and pulling out an old hockey card from a box and writing about that card and that player. This week I purposely went to box that is filled with 87-88 O-Pee-Chee cards. The 87-88 O-Pee-Chee set was what first got me seriously into collecting. Up until this […]
