NHL
The National Hockey League messed up, and if vulgarity weren’t frowned upon in journalism, I would not have used the word “messed.”
If the NHL cared about its credibility, not to mention if it wanted to gain a little public exposure that it desperately needs, the league would have come out quickly and harshly against the [...]
After a couple of weeks with dealing with food poisoning, and other various matters, which I deem more important than breathing, I am back with the post-all star edition of the NHL power rankings. Before I begin, let me say this, as someone who is a family member of a victim of domestic abuse, please, [...]
Here we are, at the all-star beak. Teams are starting to seperate themselves from the pack in the West, while in the East, things are getting a little top heavy. New Jersey is playing better without Broudeur, Boston is sick despite their injury situation, and Montreal is starting to rebound after a cold end of 2008.
Trash talk, it’s done everywhere, in every sport. We hear it every week, from the disgruntled former player all the way to good friends just getting pumped up for a game. It’s good harmless fun, right? Not according to the National Hockey League. Sean Avery of the Dallas Stars is now testing the limits of [...]
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Now that the holiday season is here, it was time for a change. So, after a long look at the formula I was using for the power rankings, it took a major change. Instead of using a complicated formula, I make it easier to understand. The new power [...]
The second week of the SportsColumn NHL power rankings sees a shake-up…at the bottom of the standings. People on the Island are rejoicing as the firing of Barry Melrose wasn’t the cap to a horrid week for the Lightning.

As our historic election is over, and the results have been counted, let me take a moment to congratulate Barack Obama on proving that Americans can see past the color of someone’s skin, and elect on ideas.
With that being said, the season’s first edition of the NHL’s power rankings are finally out. What have [...]
It’s that time again, time for the NHL previews at Sportscolumn. In this upcoming series of columns, we will look at what will drive the NHL this season. We start in the Northeast. There are some interesting story lines in, arguably, the best division in the east. Montreal forgives Patrick Roy and his number will [...]
As the Montreal Canadiens look ahead to the 2008/2009 season, they have high aspirations. This is the Habs 100th year in the league. They have many big events planned for this upcoming year. But what would make things so much sweeter for the faithful Habs fans is a Stanley Cup. Every year, fans in Montreal [...]
This year, sports fans are witnessing (or if they aren’t, they should be…) the most exciting playoff season that the National Hockey League has seen since the 2001 season that saw Ray Bourque finally win Lord Stanley’s Cup. This is the time that all fans, be they the traditional fan base of the original six [...]
