Nikolai Khabibulin's Resurgence
The Edmonton Oilers have had a surprisingly competitive start to the 2011-12 season. Some of that success has come because of improvements at the team level, most notably on the penalty kill, but no one (save perhaps Tom Renney) has had a bigger hand in the early-season success than Nikolai...
Open Forum: Memories of the NHL Hockey Hall of Fame Class
For you younger fans out there, let me tell you one of the strange rites of passage in life is when players you remember as pimple-faced rookies start entering the Hockey Hall of Fame. With full heads of gray hair. Since we have Islanders fans and LHH readers from all corners of the continent and...
Hockey Hall of Fame, 2011 inductees: congrats to Nieuwy, Belfour, Howe & Gilmour
Any coincidence that three are ex-Maple Leafs? Absolutely; a grand bunch of entrants who have earned the honor. Seriously: we can debate legitimate HOF qualifications all year long - whatever those qualifications may be (hard to say, since none of the discussion is made public), but it's near...

Former Dallas Stars Joe Nieuwendyk, Ed Belfour Selected for 2011 Hockey Hall Of Fame Class

Which Leaf Will Get Inducted Into The Hall Of Fame?
It's that time of year again: Hall of Fame Inductees Day. The day where anyone with the barest connection to the Leafs' will have their accomplishments derided because the Hall is so Toronto-centric. Proof of that particular slur is that there are so many Leafs in the Hall of Fame. That couldn't...

Not a Bang But a Whimper
In a career reaching into four decades, Mike Modano has built an impressive resume: over 550 goals, 800 assists, one Stanley Cup, and the reputation of an "every-minute" forward with point-per-game skills in a period when the former was rarely recognized and the latter hard to come by. Now, we are...

This week is the official start of the Dale Tallon era of the Florida Panthers. Although Jacques Martin left the team at the end of the 2008-2009 season, the following season saw the promotion of his assistant, Randy Sexton, who spent his single season attempting to clean up Martin's mess but...
Reliving the Jacques Martin era, part 1: A look back at the 2006-07 Panthers
