Chip McCleary: Blues feel low (again) in the Mile High city
I don't know what it is about going to play in Denver that turns the Blues into complete mush. Maybe it's the altitude. Maybe it's the snow on the ski slopes. Maybe it's years of having seen Patrick Roy in net, Joe Sakic at center, and Peter Forsberg terrify the defense on every shift. (No, it's not the new marijuana laws; the Blues were crap there before...

Have you ever played a Fantasy Sport that you knew nothing about? Last year I took the plunge and joined my first Fantasy NHL League. The main reason I joined the league was due to the NBA lockout at the time, but it turned out to be pretty fun. I would recommend you do the same and join a Fantasy NHL league before the season starts this weekend. Even though I hadn’t watched...

It was typical Sundin.

NHL HOF 2012 Inductees: Mats Sundin, Joe Sakic, Adam Oates and Pavel Bure
The Hockey Hall of Fame Induction ceremony went off swimmingly, except for the time maybe when Mats Sundin pronounced Elmer Lach’s name “Latch,” and Patrick Roy took a swipe at the Canadiens, saying they decided to trade him, which only sort of happened after Roy told Ronald Corey he’d never play another...

Richard Cloutier: Hall of the Sorta Okay Hockey Player Induction Ceremony Held
Joe Sakic, I get. Elite point producer. Won a couple of Stanley Cups. Won a Hart Trophy and a Conn Smythe. NHL First Team All-Star three times.
The Hockey Hall of Fame (or as my brother-in-law calls it, the Hollyhowk of Fame) lets in too many people. Isn't it just suppose to be for the elite guys: The Gretzky/Messier/Lemieux types? What is Mats Sundin doing in there? Who invited...
