Half the fun of being a sports fan is looking back on how certain plays affected certain games or who got picked and where in late rounds of professional drafts. But with the fun, comes the pain. For Arizona sports fans moments like the Cardinals trading for Calvin Pace and Bryant Johnson instead of Terrell Suggs, John Paxson’s jumper against the Suns, the Coyotes signing...

Well, that was about as wild as it gets. Not one for the archives in terms of how to play, or how to win. But, wow, was that a finish. I am racking the rusty rolodex between my ears trying to remember a similar game, and I’m sure there was one. I thought a game in L.A. in 1993-94 was similar, but I went back and looked. In that one, Kelly Hrudey stopped Tony Amonte on a penalty...

Doug Weight and Tony Amonte. How I used to cringe throughout the 90’s whenever I saw them dominating the NHL. Both of them the crown jewels of the New York Rangers prospect list in the early 90’s. Both were college bred American born players and both absolute necessary trade chips towards building the 1994 Stanley [...]

Just happened to be in Chicago this weekend and decided to bust our NHL cherry with a stop at the Blackhawks vs. Blue Jackets game. BONUS: just happened to be Halloween costume night. That meant lots of slutty women were just cruising the United Center in their Blackhawks Ice Girls costumes looking to jump some Tony Amonte costume bones. There was a Hooters waitress dude and we also...

Based on their superior regular-season performance...

The Hawks have to win in Montreal tonight, and they haven't done that since Steve Sullivan and Tony Amonte did the scoring for them. In other terms, that was 10 years ago. Granted, they've only been there five times since, but you get the idea.Upping the ante for the now-panting Hawks is the fact that this is the Canadiens' last home game of the year, and they can clinch a playoff...

For many of us puckheads, the NHL trading deadline is an exciting time. For some of you, your club may be one or two solid players away from going from a solid playoff team to a Stanley Cup contender. For others, it is all about your team rebuilding for the future and, sometimes, gutting the team (see: Ottawa).With this in mind, it is time remind fans to be patient with their respective...

While winning the Stanley Cup in 1994 was monumental for the New York Rangers organization, it is also a time that marked the beginning of a period where the Blueshirts sacrificed their future for veteran presence and the hope of more Stanley Cups. Joh Kreiser at NHL.com wrote about what the team gave up in 1994 to end their 54-year drought: To Smith, that “different kind of...

Only one Hall of Famer, however, still makes a living playing in the NHL. The Four's Question of the Day for Tuesday's game asked fans who was the only active NHL player in the Beanpot Hall...

This is Bobby Sheehan. Man he could scoot. Sheehan debuted with the Habs (despite being born in Bruin country. Same thing with Larry Pleau) but established himself as a California Golden Seal before cashing in with the WHA. He might have been faster than Yvan Cournoyer and the Roadrunner was a blur.Sheehan has a connection to this year's NHL draft. Possible first round pick Charlie...

"For one night, the Philadelphia Flyers turned back into the Broad Street Bullies," read the AP headline. Mostly, they were referring to the fact that on March 5th, 2004, the Flyers brawled their way to 213 penalty minutes in a game against the Ottawa Senators, while the Sens chipped in with 206 minutes of their own. The combined 419 minutes was good enough to break the previous...

Friday I took a field trip up to the heart of enemy territory. The ball park which the Yankees organization held the mortgage on for several years was hosting its final two hockey games of the winter, with a Hockey East doubleheader. My alma mater, Boston College, faced their arch rivals, Boston University in the nightcap.As our friend 'Duk from Big League Stew told hockey blog Puck...
