A quick preseason overview
Posted on 26 Sep 2010 by Philippe Lemire.
Ah the preseason, a short period of time where all sports fanatics attempt to predict exactly how the entire season will go for their team based on, well, 6 or seven games. They put their all-star sniper, the goaltender, that off-season pick-up that's supposed to slingshot their team in the playoffs and in some cases the new coach under deep scrutiny. Is the new coach's system effective? Is the...

Official rule changes for the 2010-2011 season
Posted on 21 Sep 2010 by Philippe Lemire.
I recently stumbled upon a video on the Capitals Website that outlines all the official rule changes and new rules for the upcoming NHL season. The most important/controversial one is without a doubt the one that deals with checks to the head and the removal of hipchecks below the knee. When it comes to the head-checking rule, the new standard for deeming what is “bad” or good when ...

Sink or Swim? NHL experiments with new rules at R&D camp
Posted on 3 Sep 2010 by Philippe Lemire.
During the summer season the NHL decided to pick some of next years draft-eligible players and use them as, well, lab rats for 2 days. The research and development camp was held in Toronto and for a duration of two days new rules, ranging from genius to outta-whack, were tested while the draftees tried to strut their stuff in front of general managers and scouts alike. This guaranteed that the ...

Posted on 29 Aug 2010 by Philippe Lemire.
“Ovechkin, moron.” Admit it, that's most likely the exact thought that went through your mind as you read the title of this post. Truth be told, yes, nabbing Ovechkin in the first round of your fantasy draft will allow to flat out smack kids in the face. But then what? What about the second round? Supporting player? Goaltender? Enforcer because your league awards points for penalty ...

Posted on 15 Aug 2010 by Philippe Lemire.
It's that time of year again; fans are pulling their dusty jerseys out of the closet, analyzing last season's stats in order to figure out who they're going to draft in the first round of their fantasy league and trying to nab tickets to their teams season opener. Ah yes, the NHL season is just around the corner my friends. Every fan out there is asking himself the same question; how will my te...

Caps sign both Muscle and Import
Posted on 2 Aug 2010 by Philippe Lemire.
It's a debate that's been going on between mechanics, pubescent teenagers and Need for Speed gamers for decades. Should you go for the torque and brute force of American Muscle or sacrifice the brute image and go for a smaller, faster import model? Well in this case, the Caps figured to hell with all that bullcrap and decided to go with both by signing both Tomas Fleischmann and D.J King recent...

Locked and Loaded’
Posted on 18 Jul 2010 by Philippe Lemire.
I guess since this is my inaugural post on this website, I probably do one of those cliché this-is-who-I-am intro paragraphs that everyone absolutely loves to read with a passion. I was born and raised around the sport of hockey, played it with a passion and still do whenever I have time. Most of the other bloggers on this website would probably consider me a young buck, seeing as I'm only 1...
