Its my life, its my rock and roll fantasy.  The 64.3 million dollar cap (48.3 million dollar floor) opened the door for a crazy day in Philadelphia today that saw Jeff Carter get traded to Columbus for Jakub Voracek, CBJ’s 8th pick, and a 2012 3rd round pick.  Then Mike Richards was shipped […]

             Inevitably one had to see this coming.  Ten years ago, the New York Islanders made a trade that seemed at the time to make total sense.  They sent Bill Muckalt, Zdeno Chara, and their 2001 1st round pick (2nd overall) to the Ottawa Senators for Alexei Yashin. Much has […]

There are just times where you sit there and go, “well that was a disaster”.  Indeed the New York Islanders had quite a few of those moments.  However, this one occurred ten years ago today and paved the way for many in the NHL to call the Islanders a laughingstock.  Truly, it was a moment […]

This classic from March of 2007 which literally saw my computer die very late in the game.  Fortunately, we saved the archive and still are able to bring you this classic post.  This is not quite in its entirety but I have a feeling a few Flyer fans will be kind enough to remember the […]

It is time to bring out the videos and well here they are.       Thanks again Inside Hockey….     Have a great night everyone and yes Mr. Skinner, ummmm……nevermind.

  Fantasy Hockey 101 was for the beginner and we will still do occasional columns and Fantasy Hockey 201 took the same quick hitting approach but raised the stakes a bit.  Now it comes time for the unveiling of Fantasy Hockey 301.  We humbly thank our friends from Weekly Slapshot for all of their help […]

When looking into what we would put up today, it was not an easy decision.  There is a level of insanity that often follows rumors this time of year because it is so close to the Draft and Free Agency period.  A panic rises out of the most inane report it seems.  Well here is […]

This has already been a sad day in more ways than one but 32 years ago came the ultimate boom that many in hockey saw coming for a few years.  It was a moment that truly changed hockey forever.  Would we have 30 teams today?  I doubt it if the following did not happen…..   […]

It was just another easy day at the office so here are a couple videos thanks to our friends who are in Las Vegas covering the NHL Awards.  Thanks Buddy, Ryan, and company.         Ah the shiny hardware….there will be more tomorrow.

(Photo Credit:  Tenders’ Lounge)   Oh controversy, how we enjoy thee.  This year we give you the fun of twising the fantasy hockey awards around with the NHL Awards in a way that may not be the prettiest of mashups.  However, we hope you enjoy our way of “doing up” some of the awards and […]

Today’s moment seemed so radical at the time and yet it was only from 12 years ago.  Then just a few years later the NHL went a step further.  We almost seems due for the next radical OT change perhaps?  Well let’s get to this one first.     June 21, 1999 The NHL announced […]

It is time to fire up the videos before we head to bed.  Well some of us are anyway.  At any rate, let’s get to this.          Have a great night!

  (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Well congratulations to Nick Lidstrom who signed a 1 year, 6.2 million dollar deal to stay with the Detroit Red Wings.  Lidstrom came off a 16 goal, 46 assist year which features a whopping 39 points on the man advantage (7 G 32 A).  The concern may have been the […]

It is hard to believe this event happened 19 years ago today and yet it did.  This is what happens when players get to choose where they go.  Now it is time for the video and the moment.  Here we go.     June 20, 1992 Quebec Nordiques traded the rights to Eric Lindros to […]

Well it is time to head to bed.  HP gets our one finger salute tonight.  In the meantime, there shall be a couple videos and this time we did not forget the cider.         Have a good night and see you Monday!
