Analyzing the Rookie Phenom Who is Tearing Up the NHL

Analyzing the Rookie Phenom Who is Tearing Up the NHL

Posted by | Mar 3, 2020 | , | 0 |

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn a tweet on February 22nd, NHL Network analyst stated “Quinn Hughes might be the most dynamic defenceman in the NHL with the puck… And he’s a 20-year old rookie.”  This in short shows how remarkable Quinn’s rookie season has been. Calder debates aside, Quinn is having not just a phenomenal, but historical rookie season. He is putting up numbers we haven’t seen from a rookie defenceman in nearly 30 years (27 to be exact – Vladimir Malakhov most recently did it with the Islanders in 1993).

Why the Islanders Can Bounce Back from a Rocky Month

Why the Islanders Can Bounce Back from a Rocky Month

Posted by | Feb 25, 2020 | , | 0 |

Reading Time: 3 minutesIt has been a long month for Islanders fans. The Islanders have a record of 6-7-2 in the month of February, which is not normal considering the play they have shown since Barry Trotz took over the bench. As a lifelong Islanders fan, it is killing me that this team hardly put the puck in the net, especially with talent such as Mathew Barzal and Anders Lee on offense.

Reading Time: 3 minutesAlex Ovechkin propelled himself into the gifted 700-goal club Saturday, slapping a shot from his iconic spot near the faceoff dot past Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood. Ovechkin got to 700 in a mere 1144 games. That’s 0.612 goals per game, good for sixth all time. When strength of goaltending and durability are considered, the Great Eight has many calling him the greatest goal scorer of all time, including Spittin’ Chiclets host Paul Bissonnette, who tweeted Saturday that Ovie was the “greatest goal scorer of all time. Crazy stuff”. But is he? The 80s and 90s birthed...

Reading Time: 4 minutesColin Kaepernick and Akim Aliu. One well known, the other seemingly irrelevant. Yet between these two men, one is making a huge social impact through his sport. The other is Colin Kaepernick.  Akim Aliu is a 30 year old hockey player who played for the Calgary Flames, as well as a host of different minor league hockey teams. He is Ukrainian-Canadian, moving to Canada at 7 years old from Kiev, Ukraine. Yes, he was never the best or the strongest player, but he worked hard and made his way up in the hockey ranks. One thing...
