As NHL GMs have spent the last few years saying to the salary cap: Please rise.Those GMs are about to get their way, and so are we. It’s time for another round of Cap Court, the feature in which we put contracts on trial. The last time we did this, it was with a twist: We were looking for great contracts, not the usual bad ones. That was a nice dose...
With three weeks to go in the regular season, let’s regroup on where we’re at in the wildcard races.The Western race is pretty much down to one spot, and the Golden Knights have got it right now with only the Wild and Blues to hold off. In theory the Kings’ could be vulnerable too, but they’ve been holding serve lately, and we may not be far from declaring...
Man it’s been a long time since we did one of these.

It’s fun. Or at least, that’s the...

And the Golden Knights, due to the perception that they’ve had too much...
The trade deadline has come and gone, and… it wasn’t bad, right? It didn’t quite live up to the type, but deadlines never do. And while there are ways we could give the annual market a boost, this one delivered some interesting moves.It also should probably shuffle up our rankings, although I’m still working through that part. Let’s dig through a few...
