From earlier: Everyone is good at something. You just have to keep digging until you figure out what it is. Your team is the best... at this very specific stat. www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...
Red Light newsletter: - Pens stay alive - Ending the Oilers/Ducks OT debate - Were the Kings the worst playoff team of the cap era? - Links, trivia, and lots more... www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...
From yesterday: Eight tough questions I'd insist on asking any candidate to be the Leafs new GM. This is a free link, feel free to share: www.nytimes.com/athletic/716...
Got to be honest, Bobby McMann doing a long-distance run-in all the way from Seattle would be pretty cool booking.
Just a snapshot of the difference between success and failire in the NHL. The small details and thin margins that separate the smart teams from the dumb ones.
The votes are in for the 3-2-1-0 reader poll, and the results are... a bloodbath.
Weekend rankings: I covered all the most important news from an ugly weekend in Toronto. Plus thoughts on the Sharks, the Penguins, and lots more. www.nytimes.com/athletic/699...
It's weird that 16 of these 17 players are all from the same conference, right?
New post: Who says no to these 11 NHL trades (featuring things that can not actually be traded)? www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...
The reviews are in: My work proving that the hockey gods hate the loser point is being called "quite possibly the single most important discovery in sports history". By me. I called it that. But the readers are also on board. www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...
From yesterday: Are you a hockey fan who got distracted by the Blue Jays run, and now you're wondering how the Leafs season has been going? You're in luck, I've prepared a handy Q+A to get you back up to speed. www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...
New post: So you're a Toronto sports fan who was paying attention to the Blue Jays for the last few months, and now it's time to turn your attention to the Maple Leafs. No problem. I'm here to get you caught up on how it's going. www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...
All you need to know about how rough a year it's been for the Calgary Flames is that this goal just happened, and these three players have combined for 29 games this year.
From earlier: How well do you know these NHL player nicknames? Probably not very well because they all sound fake, but hockey-reference insists that they're real. t.co/rAYgy5ymlx
Going through some old reader emails and found this one from months ago. This is just how it ends, so you can imagine how the rest of it went, but that last sentence is going to be my new mic drop in any argument.
New post: Happy draft day. Which team can put together the best starting lineup of cap-era busts? www.nytimes.com/athletic/645...
