The most important thing when looking at talent is to have the ability to draw on the experience of others who have pretty much seen it all.  Humbly there are too many to thank via Twitter that were at the NHL Draft the last two days.  Simply it is just a day to reflect but […]

This moment is from 13 years ago and yes it did add an award to the NHL Award list.  However, it was one that was richly overdue.  Here we go.     June 25, 1998 NHL Board of Governors announced that a new trophy would be awarded every year (starting in 1999) to the NHL’s […]

         Well there were two big trades in the NHL on draft night.  First was the Devin Setoguchi trade to Minnesota and then there was the Brian Campbell trade to Florida.  First off, here is the quick fix info from Ian over at fantasyhockey.com.   ————————————————————————————- The San Jose Sharks traded Devin Setoguchi, […]

There are a couple videos and then very very late tonight we will play fantasy hockey roulette.  In the meantime…..         Have a great night…day 2 starts at 11am ET tomorrow.

Ever since the NHL returned from the 2004-05 lockout season, it has been referred to as the “new” NHL. At first, I did not agree with the new slogan, catch phrase, or whatever you want to call it. However, after much thought and looking how things have changed since the dreaded 2004-05 lockout, I can […]

(Photo Credit:  Russlyhockey) Caption:  Boy does Ilya Bryzgalov have a lot to live up to.  Pat Hoffman asks the question on everyone’s mind. ————————————————————————————- That was my sentiment when I heard that the Philadelphia Flyers went out and signed goaltender Illya Bryzgalov to a 9-year deal. Have NHL general managers not learned anything when it […]

Pat Hoffman strikes hard with this post on how much better the NHL is doing.  Do not worry there will be more on this. ————————————————————————- Many hockey fans and media alike thought that the lockout during the 2004-05 NHL season would kill the NHL going forward. Well, fast forward to today and the National Hockey […]

There is the time when you always remember your first.  Sixteen years ago today for the New Jersey Devils gave us the following moment.  The brandy from the Stanley Cup was simply beyond good.  It is time for the video and then said classic gem.     June 24, 1995 Neal Broten and Shawn Chambers […]

This will be a very quick edition as we get ready for the NHL Draft tomorrow….         Have a great night everyone and may tomorrow be just as crazy!

    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.
