The goal of this project is pretty simple. I set out to create a complete map of the aftershocks of the epic 1992 trade of Eric Lindros from Quebec to Philadelphia. That trade set off a domino effect of transactions which has greatly impacted all 31 franchises over the past 26 years. While...

I put together a list of my top 100 prospects and some honourable mentions as well. A player must have less than 25 games played in the NHL to be considered a prospect. Also, before you chirp too much, basically the back half and the honourable mentions are one big group and are tough to...

Interesting question I think. To me video review has been a complete failure. The point is to get calls right, now they have created more confusion than they have ever helped. Players are frustrated and so are fans. At least when a ref made a wrong call on the ice people understood that they are...

I hate that bad teams are rewarded with high draft picks, talented prospects who those poorly managed franchises often ruin. Athletes who spent their whole lives working their butt off to achieve their dreams to be mismanaged and have their development stunted by incompetent management. Go to...

On January 19th 2017, Red Fisher passed away. Red spent his storied career covering hockey in Montreal from 1955 to 2012. He was admitted into the Order of Canada on December 29th 2017, one of Canada's highest national civilian honors. Here are some of the remembrances by HF members to...

After watching the Rangers face the Islanders at the Garden, once again coming out flat, and giving up routine Grade A chances, I wanted to do a little more digging into how poor this team is. 46.46 CF% (30th in NHL) 46.92 FF% (28th in NHL) 47.25 SF% (29th in NHL) 422 High Danger Chances...

This is the second in a series on where visiting hockey fans can get comfort food when traveling to another city to cheer on their team. Last month we took a look at Buffalo, NY. Montréal has an excellent public transportation network of subway (Metro) and buses and Uber is a popular option...

I've long wondered why the NHL doesn't have a unique award for the defenseman who scores the most points in a season. Benefits: Honors the best offensive defender in the league. A perfect corollary to the Selke Award, which honors the best defensive foward. Unlike the Selke, it's not a...

I’ve decided to go for a different “theme” each month, and this month is gonna be the big one, my top 200 prospects eligible for the 2018 draft. There are some overagers and unheard of prospects to most included, but that’s what you get when making a list of 200. I’ve seen ALMOST every single...

This is really a strong strong draft, each team will have a very different list from the next, from pick 6 on is pretty much going to be totally different for every team with guys in the 2nd round being able to fill in for 1st round. This is my version of how I like the players not giving away...

If you're a New York Islander fan who wants to keep John Tavares, you're probably wondering if the universe is conspiring against you, these days. In November, the Islanders won seven of eight games to improve to 15-7-2. But evening during that hot streak the Isles gave up at least three goals...

Exactly as it says on the tin. Lot of deserving candidates so far. Hard to pick in several positions. My Hart voting for example would for sure be in a different order (I would vote Tavares higher for Hart than Stamkos+McDavid... but I think Stamkos has objectively been more 'outstanding' as an...

Watching the Wings win three straight is kind of rough. It's been great to see the kids play well. Larkin. Athanasiou. Bertuzzi. And Mantha and Frk played well last night, too. At the same time, a three- game win streak isn't helping our lottery odds (though I'm beginning to think that other...

Including all players who are not established in NHL. What I saw from some CHL games, NCAA, U17, U18 - U20, Jr A challenge, Memorial Cup, Rookie tournament and pre-season. I don't see the games in Europe (Liiga,SHL,KHL) therefore international tournaments is really important for me to evaluate...
