Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, which is most often associated with the colour green. But don’t forget what all those drunk leprechauns are (theoretically) searching for as they stumble the streets of their respective cities (other than their lucky charms) – that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Plus, we did the green jersey thing last […]
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 […]
We’re down to the final two teams in the last (meaningful) NHL match-up until October (not counting the World Cup of Hockey). How’d it go in the Conference Finals? 1-for-2. That brings this year’s total to 8-for-14 (after going 3-for-8 in the first round and 4-for-4 in the second round). We’re guaranteed an over .500 finish. Yay […]
Well, round one was a doozy, to say the least. In addition to dozens of goals, handfuls of overtimes and players being pelted by light-up bracelets, we also saw a lot of great masks through the first eight series. • More: The 2016 Bucket Bracket Showdown (Round 1) We even saw some unexpected masks, like Michal Neuvirth and Petr Mrazek, […]

The two have a long love story history together that may seem more obvious to European hockey fans than their North American counterparts. Take the […]
Ed. Note: Because we’re doing the best and worst logo in All-Star Game history, the Top 5 is temporarily a Top 4, and styled slightly different accordingly.) The NHL All-Star weekend is approaching, an annual event with a long history of questionable design choices. We have seen some nicer sweaters throughout the years too (although this year, not so much), but the […]
Question. What is the ultimate predator? According to Animal Planet, it’s the Great White Shark. Unfortunately, for naming an NHL team, that moniker is already taken. Next? Lion. Well, that’s not very hockey-esque (unless you’re from Finland), and has nothing to do with Nashville. Next? Grizzly bear. Hmm…well, the Memphis Grizzlies play in the same state, so they probably wouldn’t like that. […]
