Day 7 of 2018 Stanley Quips: A Chance of Fluerys
So I could have talked about my Capitals again, except after an overtime [make that, double overtime!!!] win and avoiding further embarrassment to this city’s history. But that’s a story for another time because we actually have someone pull off the sweep. And it was from the expansion team that everyone wants to talk about […]
Day 6 of 2018 Stanley Quips: The Joy of Pepsi
So I ended up watching the Avalanche-Predators game last night and, man, I was not expecting this series to be as competitive as it has been! As I was stating in my power rankings, Colorado looked like a team that was about to breath its last breath coming into the their playoff clinching game against […]
Day 5 of 2018 Stanley Quips: Capital Won’t Arena
So I decided to go to only my second ever Stanley Cup playoff game in my entire life last night. My first one was back in 1998. It was Game 2 of Washington’s first round series against a Boston team that was still home to Ray Bourque and some 18-year old rookie named Joe Thornton. […]
Day 2 of 2018 Stanley Quips: Blue Barrys
Just because you expect pain to hit you in the soul doesn’t mean it won’t hurt. That’s basically how I felt after Game 1 last night as Washington once again blew a 2-0 and 3-2 lead over a younger and fresher Columbus team with a changed head coach and different ideas. I mean, Thomas Vanek […]
Day 1 of 2018 Stanley Quips: Yeah, let’s talk about that 7-0 beatdown…
And just like that, Philadelphia’s season is over. At least, that’s how the city and their fans will tell you how the series is going. Or at the VERY least, that’s how Pittsburgh and their fans will tell you how it’s going. That’s just how that state works. The collective mood swings of those two […]
2018 Stanley Cup Conference Quarterfinals Preview
Due to circumstances out of my control, today’s DC Sports Dork was published four hours after the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs. As a result, these opinions were as of before today’s (April 11th) sets of games took place. New Jersey vs. Tampa Bay The first series up definitely is the most likely to […]
Who Will Win the Pacific Division in 2018?
1. Edmonton Let’s get this out of the way right now. The Oilers are going to improve dramatically without having to improve their roster. Why is that, you ask and how on Earth does that make any sense. For starts, this NHL offseason did not see a single move in which one particular NHL team […]
Who will win the Central Division in 2018?
1. Nashville It was nothing short of a magical season for the Nashville Predators and hopes are that 2017-18 is an improvement on that. The real question is whether those said hopes can actually be a reality. There is a strong argument that the Predators should have won the Stanley Cup last year. That was […]
Who will win the Atlantic Division in 2018?
1. Toronto Beyond Edmonton, I can’t think of any other NHL team more excited about this season more than the Toronto Maple Leafs (I’m sorry….Trohntah Maypa cannot). Auston Matthews returns after setting the world alight last postseason and the future can not be any brighter for him. He’s not alone in this instance, however. William […]
Who will win the Metropolitan Division in 2018?
1. Pittsburgh Welp, the Penguins are the champs and boy did they ride their luck. Not only am I saying that from refereeing decisions and teams playing at their worst at the most poorly timed moments, but I’m also saying that in how general manager Jim Rutherford found so much untapped talent and made it […]
