    • The Cincinnati Myth
    For years, I have heard the story about how the WHA likely could have sent five or six teams to the NHL when it came to the 1979 absorption of the WHA into the NHL. The four teams that were incorporated into the NHL - the Edmonton Oilers, the Hartford Whalers, the Quebec Nordiques, and the Winnipeg Jets - had varying levels of success in their histories after joining the NHL, but I was always told...2025

    • Friday Question: Which athlete do you hate the most?
    Time to be a big old bunch of haters. In a perfect world there’d be no hate. I don’t know if John Lennon said that, or Elmo from Sesame Street. Obviously we all should aspire to hate less and love more, but when it comes to sports that’s not an option. Naturally there are athletes we just grow to hate with a red-hot passion. People who get our blood boiling every single time they set food on the f...2025

    As the city of Hamilton looks to fill its renovated FirstOntario Centre, it should be noted this isn't the first time that the city has pursued an AHL franchise for its arena. FirstOntario Centre is the original Copps Coliseum that opened on November 30, 1985, and it's played home to a few different hockey franchises. One of the teams that called the city home was the Hamilton Canucks who spent on...2025

    When it comes to remembering details about the first version of the Winnipeg Jets, I'll admit that some of those details have faded into darkness over time. While players and moments in the Jets' history still are talked about and remembered today, there are specific things that a number of people likely have forgotten. While virtually everyone remembers the Jets having an AHL affiliation with the...2024

    Make no mistake that this picture of the Hartford Whalers from an era that is long past today's NHL has some interesting quirks. The player wearing #8 in the image is Risto Siltanen, and you can see the classic European Jofa helmet that he wore. The Oilers signed him in 1979 before trading him with Brent Loney to Hartford for Ken Linseman in 1982, but he was an effective scorer no matter where he ...2023

    It may seem weird to people, but I had the day off today and I spent it in a local library. While some will yell "Nerd!" about my location this morning, I did spend a couple of hours before lunch at the library doing something I had never done before: converting a VHS tape into a digital format. I knew this could be done, but I had never actually looked into doing it until this past week when the ...2023

    It's hard to imagine Linus Ullmark not winning the Vezina Trophy this season after the incredible campaign he has. Take away the fact that the Bruins are far-and-away the best team in the NHL right now and have been all season, but Ullmark's numbers are quite jaw-dropping when you see how goods he's been. Currently sporting a 30-4-1 record after tonight's game against the Vancouver Canucks, Ullmar...2023
