To say that the career of Sam Morin has been like a roller coaster would be an understatement. BackgroundSam is a 6 foot 7, 202-pound beast that roams the blue line as a defenseman. He was born in Quebec, Canada, and started playing Pee-Wee hockey in 2007. During Sam Morin’s junior hockey days, he was […]
At any level of athletics, officials have been criticized for as long as I can remember (sometimes me being the biggest critic). It is one of the hardest day to day jobs that anyone could have in sports. Night in and night out they are constantly being screamed at by players, coaches, and (pre-Covid) a […]
Amid a season full of uncertainty, something that won’t change is the annual buzz surrounding the NHL Trade Deadline. Love it or hate it, deadline day is one of the most polarizing days of the NHL season, and the right (or wrong) moves can have a significant impact. Just look at what the Tampa Bay […]
If you are a fan of the Philadelphia Flyers like I am…I am so sorry. This team has no idea what their identity is. I have a saying and it goes, “offense wins games, defense wins championships.” This hockey team has neither. Ok, that might be an exaggeration but that is what it feels like. […]
The year was 2011. Barack Obama was in the White House, and social media was still on the rise. That was also the last year the Buffalo Sabres made the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Philadelphia Flyers ended the 2020 season with disappointment as they lost to the New York Islanders in Game 7. They left the NHL Bubble with their heads down but after time went by, they realized how great of a season they actually had. The mental toughness that team had was crazy good. It is […]
2020 was a crazy year, mostly due to the coronavirus. As sports fans we have seen the NBA, NCAA, MLB, NHL, and NFL either limit the number of fans in attendance, or flat out ban fans from attending games altogether. This has resulted in some weird new “normal” such as artificial crowd noise and cardboard […]
With just more than 10 minutes remaining in the Chicago Blackhawks’ 7-2 blowout of the Detroit Red Wings Feb. 28, Patrick Kane fired a snipe past Detroit goaltender Thomas Greiss. But it wasn’t just any goal — it was the 400th of Kane’s career, as he became the 100th player in NHL history to reach the […]
Although the NHL’s temporary divisional realignment has created some compelling new rivalries, one matchup it has robbed from fans is the Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Edmonton Oilers. Each time these two teams meet, the real showdown is Sidney Crosby vs. Connor McDavid at center — two of the game’s most talented players. A 10-year difference between draft […]
The year 2020 was a year that we will never forget. The whole world is in damage control mode to help try to limit COVID-19 as much as possible. No one would have ever imagined how a virus could shut down the entire world for over a year. But the wrath of 2020 started early […]
