A Shake-Up From Shanahan
Explaining the sport you love, to friends and family who are unfamiliar to it, can sometimes be a difficult task. Many the hour I have tried to break down the rules of ‘the code’, despite there never actually being any written confirmation of them.
“So Bertuzzi was wrong for punching Steve Moore [...]
2011-2012 Season Preview Part 2
So now we look to the West, and to the second half of the NHL. Last season’s Western Conference champions, the Vancouver Canucks, went all the way to the final, and narrowly missed out on the triple of Eastern Conference Champions, Eastern Conference Playoff final Winners, and Stanley Cup winners. [...]
2011-2012 Season Preview Part 1
We’re a month away from the opening games of the season, and so apart from the odd rookie playing out of his skin in training camp, the rosters are pretty much solidified for the NHL teams.

Non-Playoff Hockey Is Still Hockey
At this point in the season we all look at the schedule and see who’s battling for that final playoff spot or the important playoff seed that could determine home ice advantage for your favorite team. That is what makes this time of year as a hockey fan so great. One thing we sometimes underestimate [...]
United States Vs Canada & The 3-Point System
I love the 3-point system used by Olympic hockey (3-points for a regulation win, 2-points for an overtime/SO win, 1-point overtime loss). There has been lots of talk about changing the NHL point system and most of them are all theory, but actually seeing one system in action really shows it’s value. With [...]
The Points System
For a while now, something bothers me in the way the NHL are attributing points after each game. It all started in 2005-06 when the NHL felt that it would be better to eliminate the tied games and replace it with a shootout round after the OT. No arguments there, going to a hockey game [...]
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

The general feeling, as I understand it, is that as the rules changed to [...]
