Thoughts On A Monday
from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, • Sometime before his career is over, Kris Letang is going to win a Norris or two. One of the reasons he’s improved is that he takes things a lot more seriously, but Bylsma adds, “He’s only halfway to where he can be.”

Oy, the
stuff you find on eBay: This fashion disaster is billed as a "2002 U.S.
Olympic Hockey Jersey!" despite the fact it looks nothing like this
or this.
We're unsure of its origins save for the fact that it was
created by American Hockey Company, which also designed sweaters early last

Goalies And Their Coaches
from Michael Stainkamp of NHL.com,
Goaltenders have their own coaches and their own rituals. Some are placid, some talkative; others are feisty or combative—sometimes even with their own teammates. A goaltender can steal a game for an outmanned team. But when a goaltender fails, everyone in the building knows it.
“The goalie is an individual position in a team sport,” New...

The 10 Most Undeserving NHL Starting Lineup Figures
Growing up as a child of the 1980's, three things were my world: Hockey cards, G.I. Joe cartoons and Kenner Starting Lineup figures. Beginning in 1988, Kenner starting producing figures of Major League Baseball players, but didn't make the hockey jump until 1993.

The Difference...
I've probably spoken about this before, but there is a stark difference in this year's Rangers team as opposed to years past.A Before the lockout, the Rangers were notorious for leaving points on the table. It was a few years ago, so my memory of those lean years is (thankfully) fading, but in 2002-03 and 03-04, I used to try to keep track of how many games the Rangers blew when...
