Phew, this off-season was a roller coaster when it came to goalies trading teams, which for us, means a slew of new masks to review. Even the goaltenders who tend to stick with the same traditional themes will be forced out of their comfort zone with something new. With just about a month to go […]
Well, the superior visual brands had a rough go in the first round, going 2-for-8, with just two biggest upsets – Montreal and Chicago – correctly predicted. To be fair, some of them were extremely close calls, but let’s hope the better(-looking) franchises do a bit better in the second round Round of 16. • More: NHL Playoffs 2020: […]
The Conference Finals gave superior branding a perfect 2-for-2, which brings us to 9-for-14 through three rounds. With only one more match-up to go, branding is guaranteed an above .500 success rate, which is probably more than you can say for your own bracket (myself included). Let’s see who we’ve got in the Finals. • […]

Tuesday was Christmas around these parts…all 31 teams in the NHL and got new jerseys. Well, some are more new than others. With the switch from Reebok to Adidas for the 2017-18 season, the new uniform manufacturer unveiled what each team will be wearing next year on their home rinks. There are a tons of […]
The news came down a few weeks back that once Adidas starts taking over manufacturing of the NHL’s jerseys next season, there will be no third jerseys for any team in the league. At least (probably) just for next season. There are 17 teams in the league that have third jerseys, which means we’re going to say goodbye […]
Hockey’s getting back into the swing of things a little earlier this year with the return of the World Cup of Hockey, kicking off at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on September 17th. Our crew already broke down each team’s uniforms when they were revealed back in March, but the masks are rolling out fast for the highly anticipated […]
Seeing as how the shins are about 10% up the human body, it’s accurate to say that we’re now shins-deep into the new 2014-15 NHL season. Sure, “shins-deep” is a little (if ever) used expression but it’s definitely more accurate. Knees-deep is too deep. Balls-deep is just uncouth for this site. We’re not in over our heads either.
