When Kirk Muller was brought in by the Canadiens, the expectation was that the Habs’ power play would be among the league’s best, just like it had been under Muller and Guy Carbonneau. The Habs’ 20.1% conversion rate on the power play is good for 11th in the league. I’m not a math whiz, but […]

There’s some sort of circular beauty in the fifth week of a top-five commentary. Your Habs played three times this week, and there were moments on every segment of the spectrum. Who was good? Who was bad? (That’s right. Fab Friday’s don’t have to be seen through rouge tinted glasses.) The States are in turmoil, […]

Preseason hockey isn’t always the most exciting game to watch. The rosters are often filled with unrecognizable camp hopefuls and declining vets on PTOs. In short, preseason hockey is always met with a collective shrug, especially when there are more exciting things to watch (how about those Blue Jays?). So if you missed the preseason, […]

Sometimes the way the human brain decides to organize information is flawed. Lists can organize information in order of descending importance or value. At the same time, lists can be arbitrary combinations of information (Think about a grocery list). Somewhere in the middle of those two concepts is the way we rank NHL prospects. Noticeably, […]
