Week 20 of the Nerdy 30: The Week Before Sportsnet Analysts Say Dumb Things
We are here everyone! The week before the trade deadline has arrived and teams are either going to make the move that gets them to the playoffs or a Stanley Cup Championship, or the move that will cripple the franchise long term. Either way, all the on-the-second panic and incorrect analysis is going to be […]
Week 18 & 19 of the Nerdy 30: Trades are coming and the Blues are finally sung
Monotony is officially over in the NHL. Two major trades happened in the last week and they all have short term and long term implications for the teams involved. I am, of course, talking about the Evander Kane and Cody Franson trades that happened almost a full month before the March 2nd trade deadline. I […]
Week 17 of the Nerdy 30: Dancing Sharks with Leaf Blowers
With the NHL’s implementation of four divisions last year, we as fans were able to remember what it was like to watch hockey back in the 1980s, except with 30 teams instead of 21. That being said, these divisions are starting to stake claim as to which is the toughest in the NHL, and that […]
Week 15 & 16 of the Nerdy 30: Pennsylvania Problems
Before we hockey fans had the opportunity to enjoy (or ignore) All-Star festivities in Columbus, Zac Rinaldo decided to prove how valuable he was to the Flyers and anyone that ever thinks of signing him. According to him, he is great at injuring an opponent’s best defenceman so much that he gets him and his […]
Week 14 of the Nerdy 30: Weak storms but Powerful ‘Hawks
As we continue to dive deeply into the NHL season every week, we start to think whether certain teams can get into the Stanley Cup playoffs or not. However, with Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin waiting to get their names called in the 2015 NHL Draft, teams rightfully don’t have the motivation to […]

Week 11 of the Nerdy 30: Coyote Ugly and Panic in St. Paul
It’s Christmas time in the NHL. All the data for this season is starting to mellow out and players, coaches, training and equipment staff, figureheads, media members and fanboys like me get to take a temporary break from professional hockey for the rest of the week. But before you know it, the World Junior Championships […]
Week 10 of the Nerdy 30: Reincarnation and Hibernation
After a really sad week off the ice, hockey decided to go bonkers in order to be fun again. Now, all hasn’t been coming up roses because the devaluation of the Ruble could affect Russia’s KHL, let alone the country itself, in the the worst way imaginable. Russian Machine’s Fedor Fedin wrote an awesome piece […]
How bad is the Heisman Trophy Curse?
The Heisman Trophy is stupid because almost all of the winners for the best player in college football are terrible when they hit the NFL. That is all. If I was a more amateur blogger, I would just write those two sentences and be done with it. Instead, I will be diving deeper into the […]
Week 9 of the Nerdy 30: Mustaches will be shaved
Considering how dark of a week it has in the hockey world, it was fitting that a hilarious man with the most awesome mustache had to be fired in Paul MacLean. Yes, it was called months in advance, but it’s not like Ottawa was going to make a playoff push anytime soon in a deep […]
