Who was a better passer - Gretzky or Sid? (I'd like a few votes on this one myself but only because I don't skate, shoot or score like these gents)

Who was a funnier interview - Brett Hull or Jeremy Roenick?
Battlin’ Billy Smith vs Chico Resch – Bow Tie Bill Made The Right Call
If the Islanders had traded Billy Smith away instead of Chico Resch, would they have won as many cups in the 1980's (or any cups for that matter)?
Names Not On The Cup
When it comes to players who never won a cup that I would have loved to see win it, Jean Ratelle and Gilbert Perreault are the ones that come to mind first.
Great First Rounds
As the play-offs for big boys begin, one has to wonder who will be the underdog that surprises this year. The first round of the NHL play-offs is one of the great carnivals of team sport.

Tournament Tomorrow
Three games in a day in a four team tournament against a great bunch from Waterloo's High Tech League. I cannot think of a better way to spend a Saturday. Can't wait, especially after last night's warm-up with the first night of the summer season.
Iggy and Sid and the Legacy of Butch Goring
The trade deadline has been a media frenzy for years. The Iginla trade was a big a deal as I can remember in the past few years. I love the deal. The Pens have added a class act and a great player without giving up a player from this year's roster. Clearly, they are …
