Minnesota Wild 2017-18 Season Preview

Posted on October 15, 2017 by

I’ve always wondered why Minnesota named their team the “Wild” ever since they re-entered the league in 2000. Well, I looked it up. Apparently, it was chosen as an ode to Minnesota’s wildlife and outdoors reputation. Oh. Other names that … Continue reading →

Posted on October 4, 2017 by

On New Year’s Day 2014, I found myself standing among a crowd of 100,000 people watching a hockey game at a football stadium in Detroit. It was fun. I couldn’t feel my feet for five hours and I’d do it … Continue reading →

Dallas Stars 2017-18 Season Preview

Posted on September 30, 2017 by

One of my favourite t-shirts as a kid was a Dallas Stars 1999 Stanley Cup Champions shirt. There’s a birthday photo of me somewhere as a 10-year-old (or thereabouts) wearing it. So for that reason, I’ve always felt a certain … Continue reading →

Columbus Blue Jackets 2017-18 Season Preview

Posted on September 27, 2017 by

Posted on September 27, 2017 by

I don’t know why the Colorado Avalanche were a complete and utter dumpster fire last season, but they were. Perhaps it all started going down the mountain before the first snow fall. Head Coach, Patrick Roy, resigned a month before … Continue reading →

Calgary Flames 2017-18 Season Preview

Posted on September 21, 2017 by

I wasn’t a fan of the Calgary Flames when I was a kid. For starters, I don’t live there. On top of that, by the time their games came on at 10PM ET, I’d be in bed. And if that’s … Continue reading →
