It’s Nikolai Kulemin’s Time to Shine
By Lukas Hardonk (@LukasHardonk) It’s obvious that the Toronto Maple Leafs are struggling to score. As a team, they have found the back of the net just five times in their last four games, with two of those goals against the St. Louis Blues last Thursday and another two against the Ottawa Senators last Saturday.

Mike and Mike Talk Hockey
Mike Luciano (@MikeLuci) After a prolonged delay, I’m proud to announce that I’m going to start covering the Buffalo Sabres in addition to the New Jersey Devils for The Hockey Guys. Going to school in the great city of Buffalo, I get a lot of exposure to the Sabres and interact with a lot of [...]
Creating Unrealistic Expectations
By Bob Haynes (@BobHaynesJr) There is a great disservice going on every summer to players in the NHL by the agent and the player himself. In an effort to maximize every dollar possible and to try and guarantee that the player can support his family for life after hockey, every summer the bidding war causes [...]

Mattias Tedenby: An Untapped Resource
By Mike Luciano (@MikeLuci) It’s great to be back writing hockey. I’m in Ithaca this weekend on a much needed getaway after getting some immaculate stresses lifted off my shoulders from the unrelenting academic demands of my class schedule, but have and always will find the time to write and talk hockey.

Maple Leafs’ Recent Struggles Don’t Mean Season is Over
By Lukas Hardonk (@LukasHardonk) The Toronto Maple Leafs’ 2011-2012 season began eerily similar to their 2010-2011 campaign, as a 4-0-1 record had people wondering if this team was for real. Last season, it turned out that the Leafs weren’t. They struggled to win in their next 12 games, as they tallied just one win over [...]

Musings on Trade Rumors and Cap Implications
By Patrick Powell As we inch closer to American Thanksgiving, which has recently been the date when some General Managers push the proverbial panic button or change the dynamic in their respective dressing rooms, rumors are aplenty. Let’s explore some speculation and their potential cap implications for various trade partners. The woeful Columbus Blue Jackets [...]
When a Winning Streak of One Matters
By Rhys Richards (@RREsq) Going into tonight’s game against the Colorado Avalanche, the Detroit Red Wings were 4-5-1 in their last 10 games. Fans certainly did not expect that record after the Wings came roaring out of the gates to a 5-0 start. That early jubilation ended with a six-game losing streak in which the team [...]

Consistency is Key
By Christopher Decker (@HockeyGuy_Chris) It was imperative. It was critical. It was what everyone has been waiting for. As has been repeated to no end throughout the blogosphere, on TV, and by a plethora of beat writers, the New York Rangers have lacked consistency year in and year out. Too many times have they played [...]

NHL: Equipment Issues and Solutions
By Bob Haynes (@BobHaynesJr) Facial Protection Should be Mandatory: The hot topic recently is whether players should be required to wear visors or not in response to the Chris Pronger injury. To me this is a no brain solution, I say NO to visors and YES to all players wearing a full cage. The game [...]
