Posted on 29 Mar 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.

Apparently I'm not the only nut job who wonders if this is happening!… GLENDALE, Ariz. — The NHL is denying a report that it has a deal in place to move the Phoenix Coyotes to Winnipeg if a lease agreement at the team's suburban arena isn't reached in the near future. The report, published in Monday's online edition of the Phoenix Business Journal, s...

My Take On The Phoenix to Winnipeg Rumors
Posted on 9 Mar 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.

It indeed sounded insane but when a “respected journalist” will put those words down under his name I'll pass the word on. Recently there have been rumbl...

Posted on 5 Mar 2010 by Corey Krakower.
Inspired by a friend of mine who told me that he thought Luca Caputi (recently traded to the Leafs) was a great hockey name, here is my All Star team composed of the best names hockey has ever seen. Of course by All Star I don’t mean quality of play, seeing as most of these guys never even made it to Pro Hockey. Be advised; content is intended for mature audiences only, even though it is obvi...

TRADE DEADLINE RECAP – EXCITING DAY OR WASTE OF TIME?
Posted on 4 Mar 2010 by Corey Krakower.
Yesterday was one of the stranger NHL trade deadline days in recent memory. On one hand, many called the day a bust, dreadfully boring and a waste of time. Yet, the final tally was 41 trades since the Olympic roster freeze was lifted.

Posted on 3 Dec 2009 by Corey Krakower.
In part 2 of “Talking Trades”, the insanely close and wildly unpreditacble Western Conference is analyzed. Anaheim – There is some talk of Scott Niedermayer potentially being shopped if the Ducks continue to struggle.

Talking Trades (part 1 – Eastern Conference)
Posted on 1 Dec 2009 by Corey Krakower.
American Thanksgiving is usually the marker that NHL GMs use to properly evaluate their team, and where they stand after 20-25 games.
