ARGH!!! Talk about a close game! Even though Rick Nash opened the scoring for the west during the NHL All-Star Game 12 seconds in to the first, it was an up and down roller coaster that led to the Eastern Conference taking the win (they won 8-7).
The East were leading heading in to the third […]

It may have been a short game (just 12 minutes!) but it was great! As soon as you’d recover from one goal being scored another would get put in. These young players are really dynamic and I found it extremely exciting to watch them play.
Watch the game:

It was an exciting game the other day when Team Canada faced off against Sweden and the World Juniors! Honestly, with Canada up 2-0, I was getting a little bored. Happy, but bored. I think watching "Miracle" over the holidays with my son made me want a little more "down-to-the-last-second" hockey. My wish was granted! […]

The Canadian junior team knocked off the U.S. with a 4-1 victors in the semifinals. Former London Knights goaltender, Steve Mason, had been dealt to the Ontario Hockey League’s Kitchener Rangers earlier in the day and delivered a 33-save performance in Canada’s win in Pardubice, Czech Republic.
"It was sweet," Canadian forward Colton Gillies said. "That […]

Billionaire Daryl Katz must really, really want the Edmonton Oilers.
Katz, whose family owns a large pharmacy retail chain, has made another bid for the Oiler - this time a C$170-million to C$175-million offer. This compares with his previous offers of C$145-million and C$150-million.
The biggest obstacle facing Katz and his ownership aspirations is the Oilers’ ownership […]

With a provincial election in Ontario this October, the ruling Liberal party would like nothing better than to appear it supports the move of the Nashville Predators to Hamilton. What better way to curry favour with local voters than backing something like an NHL franchise.
The problem, however, is the government can’t be seen to be […]

The Globe & Mail’s David Naylor has a good column looking at the five reasons the NHL - and the Nashville Predators - aren’t coming to Hamilton. The reasons include:
1. The Toronto Maple Leafs and its territorial rights
2. Nashville’s lease
3. Concern about too many teams in one region with Toronto and Buffalo already in […]

Apparently, the NHL is planning another outdoor game - this time between the Buffalo Sabres and the Sidney Crosbys (aka Pittsburgh Penguins).
Good idea, right?
However, the NHL is apparently thinking about playing the game on - get this - New Year’s Day.
You what most Americans do on Jan. 1 other than recover from New Year’s […]

Now, this is cool.
As you probably know, there’s an ongoing debate about whether bloggers are jouranlists. Are all, if bloggers are actively covering a particular topic and providing insights/analysis/news, shouldn’t they be seen in the same light as journalists?
Well, the New York Islanders appear to think so. They’ve introduced a new program called NYI Blog […]

The Kansas City Star has an interesting article looking at the NHL’s reluctance to put more franchises in Canada even though the six teams north of the border apparently generate one-third of the NHL’s revenue.
It’s somewhat ironic to see this story appear in the Kansas City Star given it looks like the Nashville Predators […]
