As we get closer to the trade deadline, every team across the league will need to figure out whether they have any shot at making the playoffs or not. Sure, they can go ahead and look at the standings and think they have picked up enough overtime losses to keep them going. But really, they […]

Since the league has surpassed another one-15th slice of the NHL schedule, another team has to be eliminated from playoff contention. Among the first observations when looking at this season as a […]
Welp, we had another week of hockey that has just passed us by and two points of fact are happening as the season has gone along. First, there are too many bad teams. Second, there are not enough really good teams. Consider that we haven’t even hit the halfway point in the regular season and […]
