We want to start this post by acknowledging something a reader wrote in the comments section recently. Long-time THW reader gcmgome wrote, “Sorry but my eyes glaze over when these types of stats are dragged out.” We sympathize.

We’re now in December and you know what that means? That’s right! It’s the most wonderful time of the year as the 2022 World Junior Championship is quickly approaching. Hockey fans anxiously wait for this event as it has been a holiday tradition and has grown tremendously since it’s first official tournament in 1977. While
The 2021-22 NHL season is in full swing and several rookies have already jumped out as Calder Trophy contenders. To keep you up to date, we at The Hockey Writers have created the Calder Trophy Tracker, a veritable who’s who of the NHL’s top rookies this season. This will be updated and published monthly and
Since coming to the Carolina Hurricanes via a trade with the Florida Panthers back in February of 2020, Vincent Trocheck has emerged as a key piece of the team’s identity. He’s slotted in exclusively as the second-line center since his arrival, which pushed down Jordan Staal to his rightful position on the third line –
After what Mikko Koskinen has done for the Edmonton Oilers this season, it’s unreasonable that fans are still hating on him and blaming him for any misfortunes. He is a 12-2 goalie, tied for second in the league in wins, and doing so in just 14 games. What makes him so impressive this season is
Throughout the course of his 17-year career, Ryan Getzlaf has meant more to the Anaheim Ducks organization than perhaps even he realizes. Even on the night where he became the all-time leading scorer in franchise history, he was effusive in his praise towards longtime-teammate Teemu Selanne, the previous record holder for the Ducks. “Teemu was
Just a couple of days ago, fellow Hockey Writers’ contributor Kevin Armstrong took a look at players the Toronto Maple Leafs might want to target from the Pittsburgh Penguins if the Penguins held a fire sale. Considering the Penguins struggled early thanks to injuries and illnesses, they are on a trajectory to potentially miss the
After more offseason moves and another promise of better days ahead, the Vancouver Canucks have started the 2021-22 season on a frustrating 5-7-2 run with two of the worst special teams units in the NHL and a slew of other problems that would take a few articles to summarize. As other writers have said, they
The San Jose Sharks feature one of the NHL’s top up-and-coming defensemen, Mario Ferraro. While not considered a household name outside of the Bay Area, Ferraro has the makings of a true San Jose legend. He’ll carry on a legacy of beloved players who bleed teal and white. The rich history of Sharks players such
Over their 50-year history, the Vancouver Canucks have had many players come through the doors of Rogers Arena and the Pacific Coliseum. It’s hard to remember them all, especially when they are more well-known in another jersey. In this series, we are going to look back at some former NHLers that played for the Canucks,
Lost: Vancouver Canucks, Pittsburgh Penguins Have Winless Weeks Canucks Haven’t Capitalized on Home Ice Last week was brutal for the Vancouver Canucks. They played their first three home games of the season and lost all of them by a goal. The Canucks’ goal-scoring issues were on display as they only scored four goals in
This is where you’ll get your fix of stats and milestones from around the NHL over the past couple of days. There’s action every night and always something interesting to talk about. Whether someone’s setting new scoring records or a player scoring their first goal, it’ll be here. There will be a focus on teams
The Edmonton Oilers are 3-0 after rallying to defeat the Anaheim Ducks 6-5 on Tuesday, Oct. 19, at Rogers Place. With six points, Edmonton sits atop the Pacific Division standings just over a week into the 2021-22 NHL season. As usual, it’s the MVP duo of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid leading the Oilers. The
Although the NHL’s 2021-22 season is barely underway, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to hear that goaltending storylines are already aplenty. As the position that often faces the greatest fluctuations between scrutiny and celebration, only a few games are ever required for the masses to dictate which trend any given netminder is playing through
It’s easy to fall back on analytics this early in the season due to the impatience that lingers over franchises. Said analytics also usually come with negative rhetoric because 31 teams haven’t won a Stanley Cup in at least two years. Luckily for the Washington Capitals, and 30 other teams in the NHL not named
On Oct. 14, the New York Islanders agreed to an eight-year contract with 27-year-old defenseman Ryan Pulock. The team’s top right-side defenseman, in many ways, reflects head coach Barry Trotz’s vision for the team as a disciplined, defense-first skater who is also a quiet, team-first player. With the extension, Pulock will remain an integral part
Getting off to a slow start to the season isn’t uncommon whenever you are coming off of a long playoff run. For the Tampa Bay Lightning, the last two seasons have been unlike any other, as they won back-to-back Stanley Cups in less than a calendar year. This compressed schedule led to short offseasons, where there
It goes without saying that when an organization infuses the type of star power that the Chicago Blackhawks have this past offseason, progress should follow. They’ve revised their roster from top to bottom, forcing the narrative away from being referred to as a mere rebuild. While those who have jumped aboard have to accept that
