On Evander Kane and trading away young talent

0 comments by on 2/12/2015

The Winnipeg Jets finally did the inevitable on Wednesday morning, in what was becoming an absolutely insufferable saga. After trade rumors that spanned across multiple years, they finally moved Evander Kane, sending him to the Buffalo Sabres in a blockbuster deal that was highlighted by a return of Drew Stafford and Tyler Myers, with Zach Bogosian also headed to Buffalo, among others. The move comes […]

Los Angeles Kings might not be the playoff lock we think

0 comments by on 2/5/2015

As much as the National Hockey League, as a whole, is lauded for its parity, there are a small group of teams that have found their way into the postseason, and subsequently rolling towards the conference finals, in each of the last several years. One of those teams is obviously the Los Angeles Kings, who have […]

Rick Nash quietly having MVP-worthy season

0 comments by on 2/4/2015

As we begin to head into the homestretch for the NHL season, the buzz surrounding individual awards is certainly going to start picking up. In relation to the Hart Trophy in particular, awarded to the league’s most valuable player, there are the usual host of names in the mix. Alex Ovechkin is there, as is Patrick Kane. Goaltenders […]

Is this the year the Arizona Coyotes finally trade Keith Yandle?

0 comments by on 1/8/2015

While they’ve managed to demonstrate a bit of competence lately, going (technically) over .500 in their last ten games, the Arizona Coyotes have had a rough go of things this season. With the calendar having just turned over to 2015, don’t expect those struggles to come to an end anytime soon. In fact, as the weeks begin […]

How are the Winnipeg Jets winning games?

0 comments by on 12/30/2014

Coming into the season, expectations were low for the Winnipeg Jets. They weren’t expected to be as bad as a club like Edmonton or Buffalo, but with very little improvement over the summer, and a roster riddled with flaws, it was expected to be the usual business in Winnipeg. Yet, as we near the calendar turning […]

Arizona Coyotes experiencing serious buyer’s remorse with Mike Smith

0 comments by on 12/24/2014

To say that this season has been a disappointment for the Arizona Coyotes would be a tremendous understatement. Assuming things continue at their current pace, this is a team that will likely continue to battle it out with the likes of the Edmonton Oilers to stay out of the Western Conference cellar, a far cry from where this team […]

Dallas Stars a disappointment, Tyler Seguin is not

0 comments by

Coming into this 2014-15 NHL season, the Dallas Stars were the sexy pick by many to make some serious noise out of the Western Conference. Not that those types of predictions weren’t justified. Coming off of a season in which they improved a great deal off of their brief rebuild, they made some very notable additions, including […]

Look out NHL, here come the Chicago Blackhawks

0 comments by on 12/3/2014

It wasn’t long ago that there were serious questions being raised about the Chicago Blackhawks, as invalid as those questions may have been. In the days prior to their annual Circus Trip, in taking at least a six-game trip out west, the Hawks were hovering in and out of the Western Conference playoff picture. While it’s […]

At what point should we take the Nashville Predators seriously?

0 comments by on 12/2/2014

Looking up and down the standings through the first quarter-or-so of the 2014-15 NHL season, and the usual suspects are present. No one comes as a particular surprise to anyone. Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Montreal, St. Louis, Anaheim. All of these teams were expected to be strong contenders in their respective conferences. Then there’s the matter […]

Early surprises add intrigue to first quarter of 2014-15 NHL season

0 comments by

We just passed over the quarter mark in this 2014-15 NHL campaign, and it was a section of the year that brought about a number of questions about which teams we should take seriously as potential contenders, and which are clearly pretenders that are the beneficiaries of a hot start. These questions are present for […]

Michael Del Zotto a pleasant surprise for Philadelphia Flyers

0 comments by

The Philadelphia Flyers don’t exactly have too many positives going around the locker room these days, outside of perhaps the offensive excellence of Jakub Voracek. They currently sit 13th in the lackluster Eastern Conference, and their 19 points on the year have them just three ahead of the lowly Buffalo Sabres. Nonetheless, there is at least one pleasant surprise […]

Toronto Maple Leafs: Are they really bad or just really mediocre?

0 comments by on 11/24/2014

To say that the 2014-15 season has provided something of a mixed bag for the Toronto Maple Leafs would be an incredibly heinous understatement. Their losses have led to an induction of mass panic throughout the hockey world, while their wins would appear to serve no other purpose than to instill some sort of flawed belief within […]

As goes Mike Smith, so go the Arizona Coyotes

0 comments by on 11/15/2014

The Arizona Coyotes are not a very good hockey team. This is an obvious statement that requires no advanced statistics or anything of the like. They’re decent on paper and the product on the ice has been quite poor. If the current trend that has been witnessed in the first near-quarter of the season is any indication, […]

Young talent key in another LA Kings title run

0 comments by on 10/16/2014

The Los Angeles Kings came into the season as one of the few very elite teams throughout the league, and a favorite to capture a third Stanley Cup title in a span of just four seasons. Not bad for a team that didn’t even have one just a few years ago. Nonetheless, the Kings have discovered the […]

It’s early, but the New York Islanders are absolutely for real

0 comments by

Sweeping declarations are fun. On Thursday night, the New York Islanders will square off against the San Jose Sharks in a matchup of teams off to hot starts. While it’d be extremely far-fetched to say that this is a potential Stanley Cup Finals preview, there’s no doubt that both of these teams have the ability to make some noise […]
