World Cup of Hockey Final Preview

No surprise Canada is in the final, but what we didn't expect was team Europe to be in the finals as well. Europe made it to the semi final and played Sweden and won 4-3 in over time on Thomas Tatar's goal. Canada beat team Russia to make it to finals as usual. The finals are best out of three so it may not be a walk in the park for Canada. I'm just going to keep this short so I think Canada is going to win the series 2-0 for SURE. Seriously what's the point of writing these if Canada wins all international hockey stuff? Anyways that's about it and there's only 16 days left until the actual good stuff happens so I'll be more consistent then. Who will win the WCoH? Does Europe stand a chance? Will Canada sweep Europe? stay tuned....

World Cup of Hockey Day 2

Yesterday had Sweden play Russia and team North America play Finland. I didn't watch any of it, but Sweden apparently survived a late surge by Russia and barely survived, but with their amazing defensive core they survived. With team North America they played amazingly especially their studs stepped up. So the current sanding are 1. North America 2. Sweden 3.Russia 4. Finland. Sorry this was short, I had no time to make this post and I don't really need to add a lot into these WCH posts. Can Russia bounce back? Is North America for real? Is Finland out of it? stay tuned....

World Cup of Hockey Day 1

So day one of the round robin tournament is now over and there's plenty to talk about. First off team U.S.A got put into their seat against team Europe losing 3-0. That was the worst possible thing that could have happened as team U.S.A has to play Canada for their next game. Europe controlled the game and U.S.A actually got one goal, but was somehow called off. As for team Europe everyone thought they were going to lose, but they somehow won and now are 1-0 in their group which is group A along with team U.S.A, Canada, and Czech Republic. A few hours later Canada played Czech Republic and murdered them 6-0. Not too much to say here since pretty much everyone thought something like that would happen. I literally stopped watching after one period since they got 3 goals including one with 0.7 seconds to go. So group A standings are 1. Canada 1-0 2. Europe 1-0 3. U.S.A 0-1 4. Czech Republic 0-1. Group B will be playing today and we'll see what happens then. Also every team plays every team in their group at least once. Can team U.S.A bounce back against Canada? Will Czech Republic bounce back against team Europe? What will happened with group B? stay tuned....

Las Vegas Team Name Update #2

It's been about a week since my last post on Las Vegas and we finally got some real information on the team name and the jerseys. First off, the name will be something K-n-i-g-h-t-s. No more Nighthawks or anything cool, but instead it's something Knights which is okay I guess unless they really nail the name because you only get ONE chance to name a team and it has to be done right. The good news is that we know the color scheme which is will have red for sure for Red Rock, but will most likely be black, gold, grey, and red and that has the potential to look really nice. Foley also stated  that the jersey looks like steel mesh that has another color underneath it. I looked at pictures of steel mesh and it made me more confused, but I'm not writing it off. And I take back what I said about Knights, that can be a really cool name with something else and if that's the direction Foley wants to go in, fine by me. Lastly they do have the name picked out already along with the basic logo and the goal is to announce everything in October before the preseason games at T-Mobile Arena. What will the name be? Do you like the color scheme? What will the jerseys look like? stay tuned....

Las Vegas Team Name Update

I know I haven't talked about it at all. but the Las Vegas NHL team is nearing an identity that will most likely be Nighthawks, Desert Hawks, Desert Knights, Golden Knights, and Silver Knights. Owner Bill Foley obviously wants Knights or Night in the name which is fine as long as the name isn't stupid. My personal favorite is Nighthawks since it's one word and it just works with the name Las Vegas. Foley has said that he wants a two word name so it probably won't be Nighthawks unless they make it Night Hawks or just keep it as Nighthawks. Also Foley added fake names to the list of names to throw people off notably Sand Knights, but my theory is that his misdirection ploy could possibly be real. Just a theory. The team said earlier that they hope to have a name set and announced by September, but now they're saying it should be set for October right around the time when the season starts along with the uniforms and logo. Lastly the color scheme is probably going to be black and gold which hopefully works out unlike the horrific 2016 All Star Game Jerseys. What will the name be? Which name do you like he most? Will the name be announced by mid October? stay tuned....

Recent News

Sorry I haven't posted for a few days, school has started and I've been busy, but I can still post like normal once the first week is over. Anyways some recent news that has happened is that the Blues have named Alex Pietrangelo which wasn't a surprise since as a defenseman consistently puts up points and has always been a leader or alternate captain. Today the Jets named Blake Wheeler captain today which again wasn't too much of a surprise, but Dustin Byfuglien also had a good chance. Wheeler has always had 25+ goals with the Jets since he was traded to them from the Bruins so he deserves it. Lastly the Flyers have finally revealed their 50th anniversary alternate jersey which has gold around their logo and has golden last names and letters on the back and side of the jersey. Also if you somehow didn't already notice they have a new logo for their 50th anniversary season which most likely will be the center ice design, but you never know. I also don't know if they will wear it on the road or at home, but there could be a chance that they wear it for their home opener. Did the Blues make the right choice? Did the Jets make the right choice? What do you think of the Flyers new alternate jersey? stay tuned....

Stars Sign Jiri Hudler

If you didn't think the Stars were a scoring powerhouse last year that you should now with the new addition of Jiri Hudler. Hudler just signed with the Stars half an hour ago reportedly worth 2 million dollars for 1 year. Seriously the Stars were second best in the league and had Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, Jason Spezza, Patrick Sharp, and Ales Hemsky as their core of forwards and if that wasn't already good enough, then add Jiri Hudler who had 16 goals and 30 assists in 72 games. I know it doesn't seem all that good, but the year before that he had 31 goals and 45 assists in a longer season so he's capable of getting a 25-30 goal season especially with the Stars with their amazing core. Was this a good signing? Can Hudler have a better year than last year? Will Hudler get resigned after this year? stay tuned....
