The unappreciated legacy of Art Williams
In reflection, Arthur L. Williams Jr.'s tenure as owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning is often looked at as another example of unstable, inconsistent ownership that has plagued the club throughout its history. He's dismissed as a fool, as someone out of his element from the get-go. His background was...
Answering the question of the McGuire candidacy
While other names are popping up (as forum discussion and now beat reports have mentioned Ron Hextall), there is one candidate whose name has been invoked several times from local and national media sources. A name that's common for those who follow hockey on the national level (and we're talking...
Alone At the Top
"Best player in the world? Yeah." -- Montreal defenseman Josh Gorges, before the current series began Michael Farber wrote an article for the Wednesday, May 5 issue of Sports Illustrated, titled "Alone At the Top", detailing the evolution of Sidney Crosby. I just got a chance to check it out,...
Drew Doughty: Winner
With the Los Angeles Kings set to make the playoffs, the media attention is ramping up.

New Sports Illustrated hits shelves, forgets hockey exists
The glory days of hockey coverage in SI. Living in Canada, where hockey reigns king, it's easy for me to forget that the sport isn't quite as publicized elsewhere.

Commenting on Sports Illustrated's "Worst Owners" list
In case you hadn't seen it, SI has compiled a list - based on a number of relevant and perhaps not-so-relevant datum - profiling the best and worst owners in the National Hockey League. Being a "Non-traditional" market, it's not shocking that Florida's Alan Cohen was named the second-worst...
Sports Illustrated: Florida Panthers' ownership among "worst" in NHL through 2008
Still breaking down a press release received from SI this afternoon (dated May 12th, 2009), but in an "unscientific" poll (of whom? Editors? Players?), the sports weekly broke down their top five "best/worst" owners among the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB. Among other criteria, the following...
Ruutu Voted Third Dirtiest Player In NHL
Beloved Ottawa Senators pest Jarkko Ruutu has been voted the third dirtiest player in the NHL, according to a recent Sports Illustrated survey conducted that polled 324 of Ruutu's fellow NHLers. Ruutu received 12% of the votes, putting him slightly behind Chris Pronger and Steve Ott, who each...
Jokinen Selected as One of NHL's Best in Shootouts
I was notified by a rep from Sports Illustrated yesterday that Jussi Jokinen placed third best in a recent player's poll asking, "Whom would you most want to take the last shot in a shootout?" The sniper has already contributed in that way for the Canes since his recent arrival in Carolina, and...
