Wishing for a Special Forces Mindset

13 May, 2011

Big news — the Red Wings are out of the playoffs, prematurely. Prematurely for them of course is anything short of securing the Cup. The seasons change, some faces change, the objective though for the Wings ever remains the same. I was struck at the ferocity and domination with which Detroit skated in periods two [...]

First-Round Flops Over the Years

20 June, 2008

A survey such as this is a powerful reminder of the crapshoot that is selecting 18-year-old hockey players. However, it is also an invitation for fans to react with, “What [...]

Watching Other Teams Flirt With the Stanley Cup

29 April, 2008
