Let the Countdown to January 24th Begin
As much I looked forward to last night’s ‘meaningful’ installment in the Battle of Ontario, the one game on Ottawa’s six game road trip that I am most interested in is Kyle Turris’ return to the desert on January 24th.
Despite having published a number of posts that conveyed the point that as a young player who had produced some promising offensive results proportionate...

KHL All Star Game
The KHL All Star Game will be played this Saturday in Riga, Latvia. It is always interesting to see which players make the AHL All Star rosters as almost all of them have been seen in North America in the past.
The game is West Conference against East Conference. Each team has a big name player as their captain. In the past it was Team Jaromir Jagr representing the East and Team...

The 7 NHL veterans still livin’ the dream in minor leagues
The Seven is an arbitrary list of randomly connected hockey subjects that will run every Thursday on Puck Daddy. Agree to disagree.
There was a time when the North American minor league hockey system would be peppered with ex-NHL players at every level. You'd have teams like the IHL Las Vegas Thunder in 1994 with wacky rosters that included everyone from Alexei Yashin to Pokey...

Parise named Devils' captain
The Devils put their house in the best order they could.
Nevertheless, they have yet to acquire a major center to fill the hole left by Travis Zajac's surgery, and failed to give someone such as Alexei Yashin a look. But they have made the right decisions with the...

Does Keeping Yashin Around Risk Affecting Team Chemistry?
On Tuesday, Katie Strang of Newsday reported that Alexei Yashin skated with the New York Islanders at the team facility in Syosset, New York. There have been many reports surrounding Yashin, the Islanders, and his reason for being in New York. I don’t think the Islanders have anything to lose by bringing Yashin in on a training camp tryout.
While the team has nothing to...

Islanders Not Looking To Add Any Veteran Forwards
According to the New York Post, the New York Islanders do not plan on signing any veteran forwards to their roster before the start of the season, this means no Alexei Yashin. Islanders fan can rejoice as Alexei Yashin will most likely not be coming back to the Islanders. Although I have to admit, that [...]

Islanders Not Looking To Add Veteran Forward
From Brett Cyrgalis at the NY Post:
“The possibility that any of the aging forwards lurking around the Islanders were going to score contracts was at least temporarily squashed yesterday by general manager Garth Snow.
“Right now, I don’t have any plans to add another forward to our group,” Snow told The Post. “As much as we’d like to add quality veterans, we...

Isles looking at another long season
It's been a rough year for the Islanders.
On the ice, they stumbled to another last-place finish in the Atlantic Division and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight season. Off the ice, things were even worse.
There was the public embarrassment of Evgeni Nabokov refusing to play for them when they claimed him off waivers. There is the fact that they are struggling to even...

Hoping the Islanders stay put
There has been ample reason to trash the New York Islanders over the past two decades, but with owner Charles Wang's latest attempt to get his team a suitable arena falling to the sword of tax-concerned voters, let's also remember the importance of this franchise.
Yes, yes, all 30 NHL teams are special little snowflakes and no two are alike, but bear this in mind: The last team...

Bourne Blog: The summer I fell out of love with hockey
In the summer of 2008, I was at the make-or-break-it crossroads of my hockey career. I was 25 and coming off a pretty good season between the ECHL and AHL.
Problem for me was, 25 going on 26 isn't exactly youthful for an undrafted player trying to claw his way out of the minors, and each year there was going to be more and more young bucks who were drafted and on the rise. It's also...

NHL GMs Go Hollywood and Embrace the Reboot
Here in the United States, we seem to be in a period where we’re enthralled by the idea of a reboot, with reboot defined as the reconceptualization of a previously developed idea.
The Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies were popular but to breathe new life into the character, the franchise is getting rebooted, giving a slightly different take on Spider-Man than seen in the Sam...
