If It Has To Be This Way, Let It Be Colorado’s

Sam Fels April 18, 2019 0

These could be the most NHL playoff-iest of the NHL playoffs. One division winner, THE division winner, was kneecapped in four games. One is trailing 3-1. The Predators laid an egg big enough last night to feed a few villages. Even the Caps are somewhat lucky to be up 2-1 on the Canes, and were […]

You Get What Anyone Gets – Saying Goodbye To The ’18-’19 Lightning

Sam Fels April 17, 2019 0

“How did it come to this?” Jon Cooper asked, as he removed his chaps and put on a robe, a little alarmed at the amount of scented massage oils on his hands and elsewhere. He looked out the window of his yacht, and no it wasn’t him wondering how he ended up with this curious […]

Ian Mitchell Ain’t Comin’

Sam Fels April 17, 2019 0

Well, this offseason is off to a great start. For the link-shy, what that says there is Ian Mitchell is returning to Denver University for his junior season. That has been speculated on these pages and elsewhere, but now it’s official. Which puts the Hawks in something of a bind. Of their magic quartet of […]

You Get What Anybody Gets – Saying Goodbye To The ’18-’19 Penguins

Sam Fels April 17, 2019 0

And now the Penguins have their own 2017 Predators series. We’re not alone. Two years after their third Cup. Swept out. Looking out of ideas, out of energy, out of speed. Those who had been pillars of historic success simply nowhere to be found. A GM floundering and picking up slow, past-it d-men, holding onto […]
