Well, I was kind of really wrong with my prediction for the Florida Panthers. A “team full of second and third liners” was what I called them. So now, our friends in southern Florida are all yelling: So I’d say that the Panthers are definitely the surprise team at this point in the season. Whoddathunk [...]
Let’s ask Mr. Horse how he feels about the NHL’s realignment: Yeah, I agree with Mr. Horse. In case you haven’t seen the new alignment, you can view it here. Let me fire off all of the reasons I think this is a bad idea: If you liked playing teams outside of your division, but [...]
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I know our Canadian friends have already celebrated their Thanksgiving, but here in the good ole US of A, we’re okay if you guys from up north double dip. So let’s go around the league and see what each team should be thankful for today: Anaheim Ducks: Teemu Selanne decided to play [...]
Sometimes a situation is so messed up, you don’t even know where to begin. First, here’s the video: The NHL has chosen not to suspend Milan Lucic for nailing Sabres goalie Ryan Miller. Really?! But I’m not sure what I should be angrier about as a fan of hockey: the lack of discipline from the [...]

If you ever wanted an abusive relationship would look like in the NHL, I give you Sean Avery and the New York Rangers. Avery cleared re-entry waivers to fill a spot for the injured Mike Rupp and is set to be in the lineup soon. They claimed they were done with him before, but the [...]
There are ways to show your displeasure with the refs or your team and there are ways you don’t. Tonight in Boston, after what the Bruins fans and Jack Edwards thought were some bad calls against them, a bottle was thrown onto the ice (Edwards thinks every call against the Bruins is a bad one). [...]
If it hasn’t happened already, I’m predicting that the NHL is going to get some coverage on a few ESPN commentary/opinion shows. And, like always, they’ll say something stupid. Last night in the Penguins/Capitals game, Jay Beagle roughed up Kris Letang a bit along the boards, so Arron Asham came over to let Beagle know [...]
The Northwest Division was by far the worst division in hockey last season, as highlighted by the fact that they were responsible for four of the seven teams in the West that did not make the playoffs.
