There’s no way I could write a hockey article this week and ignore the NHL draft lottery: I’m not a fan. Let’s bring back the “live” option, 1000 labeled ping pong balls, a barrel, and a blindfolded celebrity.  This “We’ll do the actual drawing in a closed room - just 14 balls and complex mathematical [...]

How do you stop a freight train? Or, in different words, what do the Toronto Maple Leafs need to change now - tonight - to knock off those prowling Florida Panthers? I’ve often said that a Stanley Cup playoff series doesn’t favor the team that’s “just happy to be here,” but that might apply to [...]

The first four series are now two games in, and it probably should surprise no one that the Carolina Hurricanes are up 2-0. Last season’s playoffs, they were 7-1 at PNC Arena, and 0-6 on the road. So, a few quick bucks on the Islanders for Friday might look good. The other three matches are [...]

Four years ago, when I wasn’t yet writing about hockey, my very first article was the prediction that Tampa Bay, winners of 62 regular season games, would be swept in the first playoff round by Columbus. Ok, I’m blatantly lying. BUT the lesson learned here was that a team that’s been desperate to win every [...]
