While there is much to be said for the talent level of that team, I have to agree it wasn't pure coaching. I had heard this stuff about the Bruins before, one...
There is currently a trial for events that took place in a QMJHL game last year. The accused was a minor at the time of the events and so his name can't be...
Coaching may not have played much of a role with the Bruins. For my book "The Rangers, The Bruins, And the End of an Era" I spoke to Ed Westfall and asked him...

Yes, Bettman won the battle, but the creditors, I suspect, lost the war. I feel sorry for the Coyotes' unsecured creditors such as the advertising and...

Incorrect on that. Houston and Seattle are basketball arenas and not conducive to NHL hockey. Same way US Air (used to be America West) arena in Phoenix was....
