In the 2003 Michael Lewis book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning An Unfair Game," the Oakland A's acquired David Justice. Justice was a two-time 40-home run player who gave the Athletics what hockey men call Rings in the Room, but that's not nearly why the A's targeted the 36-year-old for the 2002 seas...

When the Oilers and Rangers met up on October 14th, Edmonton grinded out a 2-0 win on the back of a Stuart Skinner shutout. It was one of those games where the boys needed their goalie to steal one, and that’s exactly what happened. So, with New York in town for the rematch on Thursday…

This is it. It’s time for the future of the Minnesota Vikings to take the stage. A very confusing and injury riddled series of events culminated through the first eight weeks of the Minnesota Vikings’ season.

Our friend John Muir is back to talk about three hockey cards of inaugural Islanders he came across in an unlikely location. While on a hunt for Pokémon cards with his kids, John found some NHL trading cards from 1972 that captured the soon-to-be-hapless Islanders in all their haplessness. One was a depth forward who […]

The Philadelphia Flyers might have won the game Thursday night’s showdown against the Nashville Predators, but they did lose something incredibly important to their season. In the middle of what ended up being a one-sided affair for the final two periods (on the score line anyways, maybe not the shot total), Flyers captain Sean Couturier went down with an injury. Couturier did not return to the game as almost immediately after he went down the tunnel, the Flyers put out an announcement th...

It’s very difficult to separate the impact of an NFL running back from his offensive line. There is only so much a running back can do if his guys fail to open holes, and just about any back can be effective if the line is good enough. It is perhaps the very first chicken and […]

When I look ahead to the Green Bay Packers’ next opponent, sometimes it can take a bit of digging to find where the offense can attack the defense. I start by looking at the numbers. I typically start with DVOA, then just click around a while on NFL Pro. From there, I throw on the […]

Yeah, last night’s game sucked. After skating 10 games to start the regular season and the only blowouts being in the Blackhawks’ favor, there was finally a big, ugly loss to put on the board. Those are going to happen to every team every year. The Blackhawks have had more than their fair share of those the past few years. After sleeping on it, my thoughts on the Blackhawks’ loss shifted. Last night’s game felt a different. Rather than the “here we go again” exhausted, defeated feeli...

I'll be honest in saying that there aren't a lot of books that I've read where the complete history of a team is both described and brought to life through pictures. For some teams, their histories would occupy volumes of books as there would be all sorts of key moments in those franchises' histories. For others, the stories would be shorter, but there still would be big moments. For a franchise like the Pittsburgh Penguins, they have reached the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in thei...
