NHL as of December 12th

Last week in the NHL was just crazy including last night when Patrick Laine literally one timed the puck in his net, just look it up on youtube. We found out that the Vegas Golden Knights' trademark was rejected so now the NHL and the Golden Knights will have to deal with that. The Blue Jackets were undefeated this week and 4th in the NHL at one point, but are now 6th which is still good for the playoffs. The Canadiens murdered the Avalanche 10-1 at home a few days ago which kind of makes up for their 10-0 loss to the Blue Jackets earlier this season. The Flames are on fire (pun) and moved up to 1stin the pacific division at one point, but are 3rd now just one point behind. The Flyers unveiled their stadium series jerseys and they in my opinion are the best outdoor game 2017 jerseys in my opinion. Also the Flyers are on a 9 game winning streak. http://www.espn.com/nhl/injuries sorry I have no time to post them so just use the link for this week. Will the Golden Knights name be changed? Can the Flames continue their comeback? How long will the Flyers winning streak last? stay tuned....

NHL as of December 4th

This past week in the NHL was as usual really good which had the Blackhawks take over 1st place for 1 day than go back to the Carey Prices' I mean the Canadiens. The current top 5 in the NHL are 1. Canadiens 2. Rangers 3. Blackhawks 4. Penguins 5. Blue Jackets so original six teams are doing pretty well. Plus the Blue Jackets are on fire and just keep winning and have jumped to third in the Metro division. Yesterday Mike Smith of the Coyotes made 58 saves against the Blue Jackets and still lost 3-2 in a shootout and almost smashed his stick, but didn't. The Avalanche and Coyotes are now the two worst teams since the Islanders won a few games to move up to 26th in the league. Beside all of that last week wasn't as crazy, but still had some good games. Also the Centennial and Winter Classic are less than one month away so it's time to get excited for that. Lastly I should mention that Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford had an emergency appendectomy surgery right before playing the Flyers and is out for 2-3 weeks now. So as usual the injuries are below. Will the Canadiens stay in first? Are the Blue Jackets going to stay at the top? Will the Coyotes ever move out of the bottom two? stay tuned....

NHL as of November 27th

If you want to read about the new "Vegas Golden Knights" just scroll down and check out the last post. Also I missed a few points in my Vegas post so here. It's just Vegas instead of Las Vegas because locals call Las Vegas just Vegas. Unless you're blind there is in the mask a V which stands for Vegas. I was afraid this would happen, but the logo got leaked on twitter an hour or two before the live unveiling so I actually got spoiled, but at the time it was just a rumor. Anyways it was another rough week for NHL teams injury wise and just like last week I'll list them.
Bruins - Zdeno Chara - Day to day
Hurricanes - Eddie Lack - Concussion
Blackhawks - Jonathan Toews - Day to Day
Avalanche - Semyon Varlamov - Day to day
Red Wings - Niklas Kronwall - Day to Day
Red Wings- Jimmy Howard - unknown

Lightning - J.T Brown - Day to day
Jets - Toby Enstrom -  Day to day
The standings are all pretty much the same except the Senators are quietly 6th in the NHL with 27th points believe it or not. No surprise the Islanders and Coyotes are the two worst teams. The things is the Metropolitan division is full of good teams and up coming good teams while the Islanders are just meh and don't have anyone that's good except for John Tavares and Nick Leddy who are the only ones who do crap for this crap team. It looks like the Oilers are first in the Pacific division and this seems like the start of another Oilers dynasty as Connor McDavid plays like Wayne Gretszky, he's just amazing at hockey. The Maple Leafs and Red wings unveiled their Centennial Classic uniforms here https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-centennial-classic-uniforms-revealed/c-283940140 and the Penguins revealed their stadium series jerseys here https://www.nhl.com/news/pittsburgh-penguins-stadium-series-jersey-revealed/c-284080778 sorry the page doesn't really show the jerseys so just google "Penguins stadium series jerseys" and it should be somewhere. The NHL has been amazing so far and I can't wait to see what happens this week. Are the Senators for real? Are the Islanders going to be last all year? Are the Oilers true Stanley Cup contenders? stay tuned....

Vegas Golden Knights

Before my main post comes out, last week we learned that the new NHL team is called the Vegas Golden Knights and the colors will be black, gold, red, and grey. When I watched the unveiling live I was a first disappointed with the logo since I thought it looked like a Spartan, but actually the logo fits in with every other logo and it's not that bad. The majority of people thought the Golden Knights would be called the Las Vegas Dessert Knights, but Golden Knights is ok. The uniforms might be on sale by February, but we don't even know what
they look like so we have to wait a while :(. The logo on the bottom is their secondary logo is actually found on the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. I won't judge everything until the jerseys come out so keep an open mind. Also if you don't like the logo you shouldn't worry since this is only the first logo and EVERY NHL team has changed their logo at some point so don't worry. What do you think of the logo? Do you like the name? When will the jerseys come out? stay tuned....

NHL as of November 20th

A pretty rough week for some teams who have had star players suffer long term or just injuries.
Lightning - Steven Stamkos - 4-6 months
Devils - Taylor Hall - 6 weeks
Flames - Johnny Gaudreau - 1 month
Avalanche - Matt Duchane - Day to day
Avalanche - Gabriel Landeskog - Day to day
Kings - Anze Kopitar - Day to day
Wild - Zach Parise - Day to day
Predators - Colin Wilson - Day to day
Senators - Bobby Ryan - Day to day
Penguins - Patric Hornqvist - Day to day
Shark - Tomas Hertl - Day to day
Blues - Alexander Steen - Day to day
As you can see that's a lot of injuries for star players. Connor McDavid got his first NHL hatrick against the Dallas Stars last night which is ironic because he got his first NHL goal against the Stars. Also 2 days ago Matt Calvert of the Blue Jackets to a slap shot to the face and ended up scoring the game winning goal against the Rangers to make the Blue Jackets amazing start even better. The Brooklyn Islanders I mean the New York Islanders have fallen to last place along with the Arizona Coyotes with 14 points and the Canadiens are only 2 points ahead of the Blackhawks for 1st place. Can the Islanders make a comeback? Will the Canadiens hold their lead? Are the Blue Jackets for real? stay tuned....

NHL as of November 12th

We have found out the Las Vegas expansion team will announce their team name and jerseys on November 22nd which is in 10 days! So every team is at least 12 games in and we are seeing some interesting results already. First off the current top 10 is 1. Canadiens 2. Blackhawks 3. Rangers 4. Penguins 5. Capitals 6. Oilers 7. Senators 8. Devils 9. Lightning 10. Red Wings. It looks like the Eastern Conference is doing pretty well for themselves. Also there are some good teams last year that are currently not doing so well like the Wild, Stars, Panthers, Predators, and Islanders. Fans should not worry because it's still relatively early and for the Panthers, they are going through a ton of key injuries to their best players so hopefully they can get back on track. The Carey Prices' I mean the Canadiens are 12-1-1 which is showing how good they are with Price, but when hey played their backup goalie against the Blue Jackets, they lost 10 TO FREAKING NOTHING. So no matter how good their players are, it all comes down to Carey Prices health. The Blackhawks last night had their 7 game winning streak snapped against the Capitals in over time, so now they have to got for the point streak. Some bad news for current Hurricane and former Blackhawks Bryan Bickell who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis which explains why Bickell lost his touch and couldn't skate very well. Luckily he has hope he will make a return to the NHL. It is too early to judge which teams for sure are good so once it's 30-40 games in we can probably know who's hot and who's not. Can Carey Price stay healthy? Will Bickell return to the NHL? Can all the good teams that are currently bad make a comeback? stay tuned....

WInter Classic Jerseys

So the Blues and Blackhawks have finally revealed their winter classic jerseys for their January 2nd Game in St. Louis. Which one do you think is better?
