Our writers share their thoughts on the latest rumors swirling around the NHL.
”Goaltending is a normal job, sure. How would you like it in your job if every time you made a small mistake, a red light went on over your desk and 15,000 people stood up and yelled at you.” – Jacques Plante
Pride is good in small doses, but never something to depend on. With last [...]
“Nobody can be successful if he doesn’t love his work, love his job.” – David Sarnoff
And yes, I love this job. Thanks to Alin Mateescu and staff for bringing me to RMT.
Arguably, the best fan-centric franchise in the NHL resides at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. In their fledgling nine years, as [...]
New Jersey Devils (39-19-3) — 1st, Atlantic…3rd Conf.
What got them there? Well honestly a resilient offense and timely goaltending from someone not named Martin Brodeur for most of the season is what got the Devils to this point. When Brodeur went down on November 1st…did anyone expect them to be in this position? No! Scott [...]
As powerful as the Red Wings may seem, 2nd place in the West, they have one big issue, GOALTENDING.
Neither Conklin nor Ozzie have been good enough this season, and let’s face it the Wings won’t repeat the great cup run with a .890 save percentage.
My personal solution, DO NOT TRADE FOR ANYONE, DO NOT CALL [...]
With Nikolai Zherdev wanting to go and play in the KHL earlier this season while still under contract, and now the rumors that Jaromir Jagr might play for the Edmonton Oilers this season, what’s going on?
We all know this is the 100th season of a great hockey club the Canadiens, but I must point out the fans of this storied franchise must be getting on the management’s nerves. Let me explain my point.
For the most part of the season, the Habs loyal have linked their club to many star players. [...]
There are various reports that the Anaheim Ducks might be willing to trade Chris Pronger. Also that the Ottawa Senators could be sellers this year. With this in mind, could Chris Neil be available? Could those players be the extra toughness the Montreal Canadiens need to make a good push this year?
A little bit over 42 games have gone by for most teams, usually at this point we’re getting ready for the playoff push, and it is on this time that we come to see which players or teams have been either surprises or disappointments.
Let’s start with the players:
Who’s been great this year:
1.-Kyle Quincey, one of [...]
The addition of Brendan Shanahan means that someone will be coming out of the line-up for the New Jersey Devils. John Madden may not be coming out of the line-up, he might be leaving town.
The Montreal Canadiens are better by the numbers with the exception of the power play than at this time last year. Some surprises good and bad, and one hot rumour!
As just about everybody on the hockey planet is aware, the Toronto Maple Leafs have been devoid of a Stanley Cup for the last 41 years, seemingly on the path to 42. In an attempt to be facetious, many Leaf cohorts would happily replace their first-born to see their beloved blue & white win the prestigious trophy. There is quite obviously a myriad of reasons why the Maple Leafs along with their numerous fans have not relished in the ecstasy of Stanley Cup success in quite sometime. Over the years, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) has turned this team into one of the most profitable franchises in all of professional sports. They have focused on the business aspect of this team and they have succeeded admirably. They have continuously put making money ahead of winning hockey games. However, over recent years, the business aspect has seemingly turned against them.
The Montreal Canadiens wrapped up their pre-season yesterday with a loss to the Minnesota Wild and made their final cuts save one. It’s now, or maybe later?
Various media outlets are stating that there could be a possibility that Marion Gaborik could be moved. The Minnesota Wild are playing the Montreal Canadiens tonight, and guess who is good friends with the Wild’s GM Doug Risebrough?
The pieces are falling into place, just like most Florida Panther fans had expected. Keith Ballard, recently traded to the Florida Panthers in a very controversial trade on GM Jacques Martin’s part, for Olli Jokinen. The dollar amount for the contract is uncertain at the moment, but it has indeed gone down.
Well, the long anticipated trade, has been finally completed. Not a trade that is very controversial, only Toronto Maple Leaf fans arguing over if the fourth round pick was legit or not. So in that case, I guess it was pretty good wasn’t it? It seems that way. How do you judge this trade? I think it’s pretty much trading a liability for a liability, an injury burdened Mike Van Ryn for an under-performing Bryan McCabe. So either way, both teams have question marks with their respective returns.
