Hawks Taking Flight? First off, congratulations go out to the Chicago Blackhawks, who, despite not having a “go-to” goaltender, pulled out a terrific Stanley Cup victory over the Cinderella Philadelphia Flyers. While I admire the team that Stan Bowman and company have assembled, I just cannot see this team becoming a dynasty, not when you consider how much talent the Hawks will have to part with this ...

When the upcoming NHL Draft arrives, there will be a lot of hungry teenagers hoping to hear their names called. There will also be a lot of general managers hoping to find a jewel late in the draft.

Cohen is also allowing me to run a hockey trivia challenge that starts ...

With the 2010 NHL Draft just a week and a half away, there are several questions and debates that have yet to be answered.

Who will Atlanta select to help in the near total rebuild of their organization after cleaning house shortly after the end of ...

I may be biased, but is everyone seeing the trend in naming a young player the new captain of the team? Is it not bizarre that when Sidney Crosby became the youngest captain in the NHL at the tender age of 20 and found success by winning the Stanley Cup, soon after teams started giving their young players a "C" on their jerseys?  Crosby was raised in front of a camera and ...

Greetings Habs addicts! Hope you enjoyed the playoffs and are now basking in the summer sunshine and the brief pause from hockey. Don't worry, the draft and free agency are just around the corner so there will be no shortage of hockey talk coming up.

Edmonton/Boston: Will A Trade Be Made? As draft day approaches, the question remains: Taylor or Tyler? Edmonton has given no hints as to whom it plans on taking with the first overall pick, but most analysts concur that Taylor Hall will go first overall in the 2010 draft. This is despite the fact that the Central Scouting Bureau ranks Seguin number one. It seems that raw ...
