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 […]
It’s that time of the year again…the annual Stadium Series featuring 4 games 2 games 1 game this Saturday (February 25) with the Battle of PA between the Penguins and Flyers at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. So, it’s time to do our annual countdown of the all the Stadium Series jerseys in existence. With two new additions this year, we’re up to 15 […]
The Philadelphia Flyers brought ice hockey back to the City of Brotherly Love in 1967 as one of six expansion teams added by the NHL. They doubled their number of clubs in the league from six to 12. The Flyers would go on to win their home debut against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Oct. 19 under the leadership of head coach Keith […]
The Flyers, in celebration of 50 years in the NHL, announced a new jersey they’ll be wearing next year. In keeping with the theme of their golden anniversary, the jersey features an exorbitant amount of gold on it. And gold, when not created on a metallic or shiny material, is beige. Let’s keep that in mind, shall […]
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 […]
With the announcement yesterday that Vincent Lecavalier – at one time not so long ago considered one of the biggest stars in the league – is officially hanging up his skates after a somewhat resurgent half-season with the Kings, what better way for us to pay tribute than by ranking the best jerseys he wore over […]
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 […]
Happy New Year! It’s that time of the year again, when the best hockey game – aesthetically speaking – during the regular season is played. It’s the Winter Classic, 2016 edition. With the addition of another Bruins and the first Canadiens jersey, it’s time to create an updated countdown of the best Winter Classic jerseys. As January 1, 2016 marks […]
With 30 teams in the NHL, each with at least two goaltenders on their roster and some wearing multiple masks in one season, the league has seen thousands upon thousands of masks throughout its long history. Ok, so goalies didn’t actually wear masks until the late 50’s when Jacques Plante became the first NHL netminder to wear […]
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. Not even close. […]
