Mike Grier: My Favourite Post-Dynasty Oiler
Editor's Note: On Thursday, December 1st, Mike Grier announced his retirement from the NHL after a career that spanned 14 seasons. Grier was one of the lynchpins to the Oilers "little teams that could" of the late 90's and early aughts. We could not hope to describe Grier's time in Edmonton and...
Veterans In Danger of Losing Their Jobs
Training camp is an exciting time for fans. With the exception of the entry draft and the first couple of days of free agency, there isn’t much in the summer to keep hockey fans following the game (barring acrimonious disputes over restricted free agent offer sheets).

Jekyll and Hyde or is it Heckle and Jeckle?
I have given up trying to figure out this team. Before game 4 I didn't have any grand illusions of any miraculous comeback. All I asked for was a good effort and play for PRIDE. If you were going to go down, go down fighting...or at least competing in the corners. Through the first half of the game...
Minnesota Wild @ San Jose Sharks: The Morning After
San Jose Sharks 3 - 1 Minnesota Wild Hmm, was Lemaire's sandbagging actually a self-fulfilling prophecy? Were the Wild too interested in the election coverage? Did they actually trade places with random Bay Area fans between the second and third period, or were they just that bad to be outshot...
