Hockey Sweater Obsessives, Your Ship Has Arrived

10 October, 2008

Paul Lukas of Uni Watch fame has published his NHL preview, chock full of hockey uniform photos from new sweaters, to memorial patches, to the sneaky “C” that Roberto Luongo added to his mask since by NHL rules no goaltender may wear the captaincy “C” on his jersey. So if you’re into the details of [...]

First-Round Flops Over the Years

20 June, 2008

No team can get it right in round one every year, even drafting very high. And at times all teams get it really wrong then. 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 [...]

Quarter Mark Report Card

21 November, 2007

My three stars of the season’s first quarter are: (3) Pascal Leclaire — the backstopper of the BlueJackets, disbelievingly into playoff contention, with a .940 save percentage, 1.59 goals-against (second-best in the league) and five shutouts. He’s my Vezina Trophy winner for the first quarter; (2) Henrik Zetterberg — previously a terrific scoring forward, now [...]

OFB Season Preview

3 October, 2007

What would a band of hockey bloggers be without predictions for the new NHL season? We don’t claim to possess either a crystal ball or spy’s eyes inside the training camps of 29 other clubs, but we thought it might be helpful to our readers to compile a list of offseason (and late last season) [...]

Free Agency — It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

3 July, 2007

The Capitals did as promised: they were major players in the free agent market this offseason. And it’s no sure thing that they’re done dealing, as pursuit of RFAs via trades has been a stated goal of the team for months. I’m not saying that Michael Nylander, Viktor Kozlov and Tom Poti were the absolute [...]

I'm a Free Agent. Do I Want To Sign in D.C. This Summer?

16 April, 2007

Already the Doom and Gloom set is sure that the Caps are longshot suitors for super-talented UFAS this summer. Their thinking is: no one would want to come and live here, and play for this cursed franchise, when offers from the league’s elite and non-rebuilding are considered. Their conclusion is that Caps’ management is necessarily [...]

The IIHF 2007 World Junior Championship — A Preview

26 December, 2006

I highly recommend a visit to the official web presence for this year’s World Juniors, which takes place in Sweden and commences the day after Christmas. In the past 5 years or so, this tournament has gained a richly deserved reputation for being perhaps the best in all of hockey. Here’s why: It isn’t crammed [...]
