Some Good From A Lot Of Bad

It isn't often that professional hockey teams fold in the middle of a season, but the team with the jersey to the left - the UHL's Mohawk Valley Prowlers - were one of the few pro teams who did fold midway through their campaign. The team only lasted in Utica, New York from 1998 to 2001, so it's not like they had a massive impact on the community in their short existence. However, there are a few notes to examine when it comes to the Prowlers calling Utica home for parts of three seasons. Let'...

Why it’s time for the NHL to eliminate video review

Video review doesn’t belong in the NHL. It’s time for the league to do something that will improve the game. It started with good intentions, but it has been a disaster. Many other sports are also using video review, and it hasn’t improved any of them. This is one example of overthinking an issue and…

And I'm Out

There comes a time in every person's life where one walks away from something that simply cannot be saved. I'm not trying to impose any savior complex or white knight complex on anyone, but the NHL is broken. Whether it be ticket prices that are no longer affordable, TV contracts that make watching impossible, or signing players whose reputations shouldn't allow them any sort of privilege, it seems the NHL simply no longer has a place for morals and ethics. Like Mark Cuban above, because of th...

The First EBUG?

As we know, the NHL has mandated that every team has to have an Emergency Back-Up Goaltender, EBUG, available this season. We've already seen fun stories about Peter Thome getting his shot and the return of the first NHL EBUG to win a game , but there was an EBUG sighting on another team long before David Ayles stepped onto the ice for the Hurricanes. Pictured to the left is that EBUG, and his name is Joe Franke who was pressed into action on December 14, 2002 as the Fort Wayne Komets and Elmi...

NHL Bizarro-meter 2026: Which Western Conference team had the weirdest offseason?

The offseason is over, and at least for a few teams, things got weird. How weird? We’re about to find out. Yes, it’s time for the annual offseason rankings, in which we blow the dust off our trusty bizarro-meter and feed it each team’s summer headlines. After a few bleeps and bloops and flashing lights and occasional puff of toxic smoke, we’ll get back a rating out of 10 that answers the question: Just how weird did things get? As always, we start with an important caveat: “Weird” doesn’t mean...

A New Philly Cathedral?

In a joint announcement today made by the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers alongside the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, exterior renderings of a proposed new arena in south Philadelphia were shown to gathered reporters and media. There have been rumblings as far back as 2022 about Philadelphia getting a new arena for one or both of its arena-homed teams, and today seemed to be the day where the dream became reality. Of course, there are people like me who don't wear the rose-coloured glasses that others d...

The Hockey Show - Episode 729

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, remains out of the studio for another week, albeit for an entirely different reason. We had fun at the Hockey For All Centre last week as we chatted with Winnipeg Ice head coach Eugene Kaminsky, and this week sees us chatting with another incredible hockey mind and awesome person as we tackle a subject most seem to avoid! Who did we chat with and what's the subject? All that is answered tonight on The Hockey...

Evan Bouchard’s contract is aging well amid the NHL’s salary cap boom

The NHL is undergoing a historic salary cap boom, and with that come consequences. Not only has it sent player salaries skyrocketing, but it’s also shifted how front offices do business. In the flat-cap era, teams didn’t always have the cap space to sign their restricted free agents long-term, which forced them into cheap bridge…
