Rick Nash – the refreshing change
Plenty more Nash celebrations as a Ranger to come

Lindros And Others On the Lockout
from Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun,
If you want to get Eric Lindros wound up, ask him about the NHL lockout, which has not-so-quietly extended into a third month — with no negotiations scheduled and no real end in sight.
The retired NHLer and former NHLPA ombudsman wasn’t overly optimistic when asked to give his opinion during a break in the action at the Mike Keane...

In a few days, the latest class of NHL Hall of Fame inductees will take their place in the Great Hall at the corner of Yonge and Front St. in Toronto.

Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Lindros, Thursday Games, Results Roundup
It is sometimes hard to believe that it's been 20 year since Eric Lindros first set foot in Philadelphia as member of the Flyers, and 11 years since he was traded to the Rangers. It was such a bittersweet journey. But, as so often happens, the passage of time has allowed many of the old wounds to heal.
Nowadays, it is much easier to focus on the many positives and good times...

Eric Lindros vs Sidney Crosby
Both Eric Lindros and Sidney Crosby were regarded as the next ones well before their respective drafts and with the possible exception of Mario Lemieux, nobody has ever attracted more pre-draft hype than the two. Unfortunately, both players have had to endure difficulties with injuries early on in their careers. Lindros’s injury troubles began [...]

Tim Panaccio: The Guy With The Black Helmet

Athletes Who Have Had the Worst of it With Concussions
Concussions are a very odd phenomenon. There are situations where a guy gets concussed and he’s back in the game a week or two later. Then there are situations when a guy suffers a concussion and his career is put into jeopardy. If only we were neurologists here at Unathletic.
Today, we feature some athletes who have had the worst of it with concussions. Unfortunately, these guys...
This Day In Hockey History (2/26)
Here comes another moment from yesteryear on "This Day In Hockey History". Now on The Program today, there will be no Fantasy Hockey ONE, as we do it traditionally on the show. If you remember the "Legion Of Doom" then you should remember today's moment from 15 years ago. That was a team that could really put on an offensive show at times with just one...
Hockey Hall of Fame Snubs
By Bob Haynes (@BobHaynesJr)
This is a subject that really bothers me at times. I feel there is too much put into the number of championships that a player won during a career in all sports. I do not look at the stats as much when determining if a player belongs in the Hall of Fame, I simply use the “eyeball test” and watch the player. I also add to that the dominant player...

This Day In Hockey History (1/7)
As we go down that road of moments, sometimes we stumble on those that are just too obvious to pass up. Today is one of those times as we look at the Boston Bruins now and then try to see where they are compared to some past teams. One team that went on a very long streak was the Philadelphia Flyers in 1980 but more recently 1997. We found a moment from 14 years ago to share...
