Welcome to the Thursday ramblings once again as it is another Thursday in January. The World Juniors are over, and the three CHL trade deadlines have completed with the OHL and WHL deadlines wrapping up earlier today.

Thanks largely to the efforts of Team East forward Tyler Madden (pictured above and son of long-time NHLer and Cleveland Monsters Head Coach John Madden) potting two goals on home ice, and Youngstown Phantom goaltender Ivan Provestov stopping each Team West shot he faced, East prevailed over West 4-3 in Tuesday’s annual USHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.

Last month we left off with the advent of tracking shots on goal, and making an attempt to justify finding even the smallest of competitive advantages through mathematics and analysis. Post-expansion, the NHL game transitioned through phases of exorbitant toughness, extreme skill gaps between [...]
The World Junior concluded this weekend and what a show it was. As always the tournament never disappoints from an entertainment standpoint and there were breakout performances from all sorts of players. In case you missed it, our NHL Draft feature writer Steve Kournianos from the Draft Analyst yesterday submitted his piece and it looks [...]
