The current method for determining the GWG is plain wrong. In a few occasions, a team up by one goal scored an empty-net goal with about a minute left in the...
Unfortunately Brian, you are correct, because the NHL leaders lack the courage to do the necessary thing. When it comes to hockey, current leaders know nothing...

Maybe something should have been put into the new CBA that stipulated that all ice surfaces must be increased to Olympic-size by the last year of the CBA. I...
The problem is multi fold... 1-Some buildings just can't be re configured. Others could be but it would mean serious down time as well as expense that hockey...

Nice piece on Wally Stanowski in the Globe today. Tough old bird. I sure can't drink at ten in the morning anymore but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. ...
Baseball's game-winning RBI statistic was ridiculed despite having a better pedigree than hockey's game-winning goal and is no longer an official statistic. If...
... I could have told you at the time John LeClair signed his last contract with the Flyers that he was getting paid for something he wasn't going to do. ...
From: "Morey Holzman" <epenaltybox@...> ... If you've ever watched hockey played in Europe, on bigger ice surfaces, I can assure you that the trap works...
It was done in the 1910s in the NHA. CLint Benedict left the crease in 1911 and scored a goal in the offensive zone for Cliffsides in a playoff game against,...
No question that the trap is still effective in Europe, after all Sweden was the lab for developing new and less exciting forms of it. In Europe a tactic...
Does anyone know for certain which number Fetisov wore in his one game with the devils in 89-90? Also, can someone tell me every player in Devils history who...

I'm looking for information on the sale of the Hamilton Tigers in 1925 to Bill Dwyer, a NY-based bootlegger. The story I've always heard is that after a...
Have you looked at the book Morey Holzman and I wrote, Deceptions and Doublecross: How the NHL Conquered Hockey? There is a good amount on the Tigers and...
Joe, is this the one you're thinking of? http://www.formac.ca/main_book.php?id=1795 Hamilton's Hockey Tigers by David Wesley and Sam Wesley (with a foreword by...
That's the one. One of the Wesley's contacted me some time ago looking for photo sources. He was looking for action shots. 96 pp. - could be a bit slim on...
Thanks for your quick response. Deceptions and Doublecross sits in a prominent place on my desk, and I was just looking through it. Your chapter, "Stop...
