Ethan Moreau ready for LA, moving on from Edmonton and Columbus
Last week, Ethan Moreau got his first taste of being inside Staples Center as a member of the Kings. It between observing the work being done to the ice and taking photos with other guests, he shared several thoughts about signing his recent deal with Los Angeles. First off, even though it’s a one-year contract, [...]
NHL DRAFT DAY WINNERS & LOSERS?
We should remark right here and now, that there can be no gauging on the NHL drafts winners and losers for a good 3 to 5 years. Maybe even 6 years down the line, ultimately. However, we can comment on VALUE. Value in many cases was blown up this draft as many teams started drafting [...]

New Blue Jackets Head Coach – Scott Arniel
Scott Arniel, coach of the AHL’s Mannitoba Moose, has officially been hired by the Columbus Blue Jackets to be their new head coach. Guy Boucher rejected the Jackets offer in order to accept the job with the Tampa Bay Lightning (Hey Guy…enjoy Mike Smith!) To be honest, I don’t know much about Arniel, he seems [...]
2010 NHL Entry Draft Drawing Takes Place TONIGHT
At 8pm Eastern time, the NY Islanders will get their 2nd lottery win in a row and skip from #5 to the #1 slot. Ok, ok, you aren’t buying it. Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Jokes aside, tonight comes, right before the playoffs, the Draft Lottery which is produced and televised by TSN [...]
A Plus/Minus Plus: The Nielsen Ratings
by Brenna Solop Every year there seems to be an Islander who flies under the radar, which is quite impressive considering this is a pretty stealth team as a whole. Amongst these gritty blue collar players and learn-as-you-go rookies, Frans Nielsen has emerged as an impressive two-way player. The quiet, unheralded Nielsen has built one [...]
Antoine and Jake Showing Up for the Jackets

Nabokov made a career-high 50 saves and shut down all three shootout attempts in a game where the Sharks were completely outplayed by the Detroit Red Wings. Thanks to his play, the Sharks pulled out a [...]
A Month in Review (October 2009)
To mark the end of the first month of NHL hockey, I’d like to take this time and write a little something about each team, and my general thoughts heading into November. October has proven to be an eventful month full of shocks, surprises, excitement, and disappointment. I’m sorry that all teams won’t get equal [...]
Canucks Eager for Home Opener
The Vancouver Canucks kicked off their season with two road losses. Fans have not been too pleased with their defensive efforts and had high hopes for their team this season. Starting the season with 2 losses was not part of the game-plan, but it happened, it’s over with, and the Canucks now play their home-opener [...]
