Does History Set a Precedent for this Upcoming NHL Season?

Reading Time: 2 minutesIf all goes to plan, the 31 NHL franchises will hit the ice to start the regular season as soon as January 15th of the new year. The slated proposal would see clubs play a total of 56 games plus playoffs in a 28 week stretch finishing the week before the start of the Tokyo Olympics on July 23rd.    The question is, what would a season of this nature look like?   In the last 25 years, there have been two seasons shortened, both to 48 games, and both due to lockouts (94-95, 12-13).

The NHL’s Reverse Retro Jerseys: Ranked

Reading Time: 10 minutesIt was an incredible marketing move on behalf of the NHL to bridge the gap between the Stanley Cup Final and the start of the unconventional 2021 season with the release of the “Reverse Retro” series of jerseys. Following the path laid out several years previous with the NBA’s “City Edition” jerseys, the reveal of a compound uniform line has proven to be a more successful strategy for the introduction of alternate uniforms than those used in previous.

Taylor Hall’s Signing Is Yet Another Example of How ‘Big Name Free Agents’ Can’t Win in the Public Eye

Reading Time: 2 minutesTaylor Hall’s decision on October 11th to join the Buffalo Sabres on a one-year, $8 million deal sent shockwaves throughout the league, and unsurprisingly, also brought about a mountain of criticism in the media.

This is not at all helped by most...

The Cost of Ryan Strome for the New York Rangers

Reading Time: 2 minutesJeff Gorton, GM of the New York Rangers, has his biggest decision for his Restricted Free Agent, Ryan Strome. Strome put up a career high in points and assists this past season on the ice.  He is a solid Center who has decent playmaking skills, but needs to improve on consistent face-off wins and to limit his penalties. During his career with the NHL (including his time with the Rangers), Strome has a career faceoff win average of 45.9%. Strome was drafted by the New York Islanders in the first round of the 2011 draft and...
