What was the cap era's best team to not get a single Hart vote? The answer is weird

I’ll make you a deal: You indulge me in one of those Slow News Summer ideas I’ve had kicking around, and at the end I’ll surprise you with something weird that I found while researching it. Do we have a deal? Sure we do. Let’s start with the Carolina Hurricanes. As you may have heard, they won the Stanley Cup this year, the ultimate dream for every long-suffering hockey lifer and/or middle-schooler . And in doing so, they might have established themselves as the best team in the history of the...

Pennies On The Dollar

I'll always be the last guy to credit Rogers Communications with anything intelligent based on how they spend their money, but there are certain things that happen where one has to ask the obvious questions that go with what transpired. Rogers was busy today announcing that they had reached a deal with Amazon Prime Video to have Bezos' streaming service exclusively broadcast Wednesday night, regular-season, national NHL games and early-round Stanley Cup Playoff series in both English and Frenc...

TBC: Cutting Edge

I'll be the first to admit that I've likely forgotten more about hockey than what I know. That's not to say that I should stop learning, but it does reinforce the importance to keep learning and reading about the game. I enjoy the history of the game when presented in a fun way, player biographies often bring insight, and I'm always looking for something that will give me better understanding of how the game is presented. Thanks to Arsenal Pulp Press, I was given an opportunity to read a book ...

I'm not sure what else can be said or done for the Pederal Prospects Hockey League to save the league and its member teams from itself. The schedule was released on Friday to little fanfare despite the interest the league believes it has, and I went looking to see if the league was going to take baby steps forward with their newly-expanded map to help the financial situations of a number of teams. As stated, there are some massive distances between franchises this season that a bus ride simply...

Priced Out Of The Market

As you likely know, I'm not a hockey executive. Frankly, with the state of economics in hockey right now, I'm not sure I'd want to be working in a front office right now because it seems like everyone is either delusional or insane. Or maybe both. Being that I'm not qaulified to diagnose anyone as senile, though, it became somewhat hard to ignore that the new AHL team in Hamilton might be on a fast track to another relocation thanks to their ticket prices. Welcome to professional hockey, Hamil...
