Dee Lux DX7's World of Hockey

St. Louis is F**KING INSANE....wtf!!??? .......OH WAIT! I get it! Their GM is probably close to being fired, that's when these stupid moves tend to happen....Although, if that is the case I don't understand why the President or owner would sign off on it......I just thought it was a given in 2018 that you NEVER GIVE UP YOUR FIRST ROUNDER, Personally, I don't think there are many exceptions to that rule, I don't find that rental deadline players ever really deliver Stanley Cups, and I can't recall a team who were ground down by the playoffs to using their "Depth" acquisitions and managed to go all the way. Y'know, one thing I've come to believe this last couple of years: "Hockey people" really aren't all that smart, the GM's in the NHL are guys from an old boys club who get their jobs due to who they know, I honestly don't think these GM's posses any kind of "special skill" or insight on player personnel and t...

Moore cheap shotted our captain Moore knew he had to answer Moore fought worst fighter on our team and KNOWS that doesn't get him off the hook The GOOD fighter on our team comes straight for him, and after a LIFETIME IN HOCKEY...Moore turns away, screwing both himself and the guy coming for him Bertuzzi goes to engage in a fight like both he and Moore have countless times in countless games spanning their entire lives, there is a code of conduct that governs how this is done, it exists to mete out justice but ALSO to make sure that Justice stays within the game, everyone goes home that night to fight another day Moore breaks the code, he turns away, Bertuzzi attacks as anyone especially Moore knew he would, I expect Moore thought he might get Bertuzzi ejected or suspended by turning away, he broke the code he gambled and EVERYONE LOST Bertuzzi breaks his neck, THE LAST THING IN THE WORLD HE WOULD HAVE WANTED Moore's dishonorable actions scar t...

Recently, I saw a trade rumor involving The Edmonton Oilers and Chicago Blackhawks, in which Towes was the centerpiece, and Drai was the piece coming back. The report didn't surprise me, but the reaction amongst certain fans did. "NO! They can't give up Towes! He must retire a Hawk. Not with that salary he can't. Chicago would be beyond stupid to pass this up. The truth is, and I can't see why Bowman didn't realize this because everyone else did. Signing Taves and Kane to those deals was stupid, the party was over and everyone needed to make a fresh start, sure they were going to get another couple of years of solid play but things were headed downhill. Now, if you deal Kane to Buffalo and Taves to Winnipeg (If he's willing to go) then those two players might get a fresh start, just like everyone else the players need a goal. And bringing ANOTHER cup to Chicago is a "Been there, done that" proposition for both guys no ...

Welcome readers! Nice to have you along as I make my first foray into the "True Crime" genre of writing. But I will not be writing about an unsolved murder, rape, kidnapping or any of the like, I will, however, tell you the sad tale of a robbery, a theft that took place in plain view of the authorities, Authorities who didn't know enough about what they were in charge of (or didn't care) to take action against it and right a wrong that would ultimately cost the NHL it's brand new, blue-puck-glowing TV deal with FOX, stunt the growth of the game and nearly turn hard-core fans away in disgust. I write to you of the "Dead-puck" era, and the man single-handedly responsible for it, a man who STOLE the Stanley cup in 1995, by exploiting a flaw in the game. Hockey has always been known as fast, violent and exciting, and for most of its history, it has been, but during the 1960's came a revelation that would forever change the game. ...

Seattle, welcome to the NHL! I'm sure you're excited and nervous,  Don't be scared, there are very few things an NHL franchise can do to absolutely kill its self. But, of those few things, there is one you NEED to avoid. Make sure your arena is centrally located, with bars and restaurants close by, so people can "make a night of it" There was a team once that decided to fly in the face of this wisdom and they toil in purgatory to this day. You've heard of the Coyotes? Consider their cautionary tale: First of a;; people need to let go of the idea that the NHL "Doesn't work" in Miami or Phoenix. The Coyotes were doing JUST FINE until, in one of the worst moves in pro sports history, they decide to cheap out and build an arena way out in the middle of nowhere. To give this some context, Ottawa did the same thing and have ALWAYS had attendance issues because of it, even in the playoffs. People are NOT willing to sit in an hour and...

    In a career saving, prayer answering group of sentences Griffin Reinharts dreams, for which he worked his whole life, were rescued from the clutches of evil men. When I think of how he must have felt when Vegas took him in the expansion, draft it must have been some small fraction of what a German camp survivor felt as Allied troops rolled in. Make no mistake, damage has been done, but I think it isn't too late for him, I think Reinhart will prove himself to be a serviceable #4 D-man I thought he looked ok in The playoffs, and really how bad can he be? I think he was a scapegoat because a lot of executives used him to make themselves look bad, so they punished him for their own ineptitude. Had he been a 2nd or 3rd round pick, he would have been quietly enjoying his solid but unspectacular NHL career for a few years now, but the powers that be, angry at their own ineptitude did their best to convince him he couldn't play and...
