The outrage mob has gotten out of hand with goaltender Carter Hart. Hart doesn’t deserve jail or prison because it’s “morally right” to side with the victim. I see a lot of hockey fans saying Carter Hart should be in prison. That’s where this conversation stops being about hockey and turns into something far more…
During my time working in the corporate digital media world, I came to one startling realization: I was nothing more than content fodder. Nobody wants to be content fodder. That’s one major reason I left the sportswriting world behind in favor of building my own lore, products, and systems. If you’re in digital media, even…
The NHL is a godsend that the NFL should strive to revert to. While the National Hockey League isn’t perfect, it’s a far cry from sports’ evil empire. As I write this, the NFL is about to start its annual month-long ritual known as the playoffs. While America supposedly watches, Yours Truly and those no longer sucked…
The Olympic ban on Russian players has gone on long enough. It’s time for the IIHF and IOC to end this nonsense once and for all. I don’t buy the fairytale version of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Russia didn’t wake up one morning and decide to invade Ukraine in a vacuum. The West spent decades expanding,…
The NHL is the least woke of the four major North American pro sports leagues and has become an outlet for strong libertarians like myself. While the NHL may engage in corporate DEI language, symbolic gestures, and league-wide initiatives, it remains a safe haven for sanity. Why? It doesn’t often center those gestures as its…
The Arizona Coyotes may have been the most unique team in NHL history, paving the way for a tribute in Arcane Elemental Academy. When you have a main character named Yote, you know there’s gotta be a method to the madness. I mean, I don’t even think there’s anyone in America named Yote and if…
Shane Doan is one of the most legendary players to ever wear an Arizona Coyotes uniform, and there’s a secret tribute to him in my young adult fantasy series. The Arcane Prophecy may be a cross between Harry Potter and Robert Murphy’s Chaos Theory, but if you know me, you’ll also know I’ll have some sporty tributes. Hell, the name…
I’ve been to my fair share of hockey games, and the cheap seats often draw the worst kind of people. Seriously, don’t waste your time. It’s been years since I’ve gone to a hockey game, as I’m often too busy with about a million different endeavors to fight traffic. Still, I remember sitting in the…
Whether Jonathan Toews is libertarian or not, it doesn’t matter. But in an interview with TSN’s Elliotte Friedman, he dropped a truth bomb. Jonathan Toews knew it wouldn’t be long before he’d suit up against his former team, the Chicago Blackhawks. Spending his career twilight years with the Winnipeg Jets following a two-year layoff, Toews…
Giant middle finger or not, the latest NHL Heritage Night looked great and we need to see more of it. It was one of the best aesthetic matchups yet. A few months ago, I talked about how the Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes should meet while cosplaying as the Quebec Nordiques and Hartford Whalers, respectively….
Steve Yzerman is an NHL general manager known for his patience and slow rebuilding methods, which is also called the Yzerplan. Hockey and book sales rarely intermingle. But when they do, it’s because I looked to a certain NHL general manager for inspiration. Enter Steve Yzerman, who returned to the Detroit Red Wings in 2019…
Jackie and Quinn Cozens weren’t named for the NHL darlings. The truth ties back to Buffalo’s ill-fated Kid Line — and it cuts deeper. Everybody wants to see Jack and Quinn Hughes team up at some point in their NHL careers. And, next to Tkachuk brothers, Matthew and Brady, they’re the most popular siblings playing…
