Senators Fans Brace For Long, Hard Winter
It is becoming more and more apparent that the window the Ottawa Senators had to win a championship has shut. After facing the Anaheim Ducks in the finals (and losing 4-1) in 2007, the team has steadily slid in the standings and we might actually be within spitting distance of the awful 2001-2002 seasons.A Chara [...]

Brunnstrom is a Bust
Remember that Swedish wonder-kind who was overlooked by scouts left and right and ended up with an opportunity to sign as an unrestricted free agent with the NHL at age 23? Remember how everyone said that he wouldn't be able to adapt to the game and that people were idiots for throwing good money at [...]

Lightning So Offensive That They're Getting Defensive
A couple days old, but whatever: Chalk one up for Tampa Bay's new GM (no idea what his name is, and let's be honest, it's pretty irrelevant since Koules and Barrie are running the show) for finally listening to the rest of the rational world and seeing that his team's defense could use a bit [...]

Rumor of the Day: October 16, 2008
Today's rumor comes from the Rockies where very few people are impressed with the early (winless) performance of the Colorado Avalanche. First on that list has to be the Denver Posts's Adrian Dater:
So where are we now? We've got a team that is 0-3, one that has allowed 13 goals and blown all three games [...]

The Least Surprising Firing Ever.
Ok, like who couldn't see this one coming?
Not only do the Chicago Blackhawks load up on on-ice talent this offseason, they add Scotty Bowman to the front office and hire Joel Quenneville as a pro scout. I guess only a few people knew he was actuall scouting the team's head coach. I bet his first [...]

Rumor of the Day: October 15, 2008

Is It Us, Or Are These Awesome?
I am having a lot of trouble finding anything ugly or bad to say about the new uniforms the Caorlina Hurricanes unveiled a couple of nights ago.
It's gotta be intimidating when they swoop in on an attack looking like a flock of Johnny Cashes (Cashi?) a??Actually, flock isn't right, is it? When they [...]

Hollweg Is a Misunderstood Soul: Part 2
Ok, let's do a role-playing multiple choice question. Here goes:
You have a history of hitting players from behind, and were recently suspended for 2 games for your third infraction in 41 games. The suspension took you out of your new team's lineup for its first two games of the season. Game 3 and you're back [...]

Hockey is Back. Thank You, Baby Jesus!
Finally! After months of non-news and trades, and non-trades, and crappy innuendo about Mats Sundin, we can finally start writing about actual hockey again. Well, maybe not just hockey, but you know what we mean.
So what better way to start the season than having the most dominating team unfurl their Stanley Cup banner, then meet [...]

Orr + Scars = Credit Card?
I'm really not sure what to think of this ad. The music makes you nostalgic, the growing scar makes you wince, the dates and milestones get you choked up, and then seeing Bobby Orr sitting on the bench will either make you cry or (if you have a black little heart) shrug and order another [...]

Rumor of the Day
Not so much a rumor as a dispelled rumor. And even then, it's not actually a rumora??. just mind-numbing innuendo. The always-awesome Mike Farber (from Sports Illustrated) is finally killing these ridiculous stories about the NHL expanding to Europe. And not a fucking moment too soon either.
a??But European expansion remains one of those theoretical topics [...]

The Best Hockey Logo?
This summer, The Hockey News began running their Ultimate Hockey logo tournament to determine the logo that "brings a city together and sets it apart from everywhere else.
