This is a slow news day, so I thought that I would bring this up today. Hope I don’t bore you out there, but there is a myth going around in the hockey world that I wanted to at least begin to expose. Just about two years ago, a man named Malcolm Gladwell wrote a [...]

Cameron Talbot, the rookie just a little more than six months away from the NCAA tournament, stopped 41 shots tonight to lead the Hartford Wolf Pack to a 3-0 win in Providence. Named the game’s first star, Talbot made his first professional start between the pipes, and made some critical saves in the last half [...]

The Hartford Wolf Pack went from Albany last night to Bridgeport tonight, where they beat their cross-Connecticut rivals by the score of 2-1. Neither the Sound Tigers, the Islanders AHL affiliate, nor the Wolf Pack were on top of their game tonight, and I have to be honest and tell you that this was a [...]

Not much went right this afternoon for the Hartford Wolf Pack, as the team was downed 4-3 by the Worcester Sharks. If you look at the score sheet, and even the final score, it does not look as bad as the Pack did on the ice. It was horrible for two periods and then so-so [...]

The winds of change were all over the XL Center in Hartford tonight, as the team and the arena are undergoing a makeover. From the new scoreboards, videotron, lighting and excited fans in the arena to the new faces on the ice, things are definitely looking up in Hartford. I did not get up here [...]

The Rangers completed their successful home portion of the pre-season with a 5-4 shootout victory over the Ottawa Senators tonight. New York won each of the pre-season games in Madison Square Garden this year, defeating the Devils, the Red Wings, and the Sens. In this evening’s game, Ottawa put some of their best players on [...]
