by Women's Sports Blog
posted August 12, 2010 at 5:00pm

The question asked by this blog, 'who signs a 17-year contract in his late twenties?' was answered conclusively by the NHL: someone who is trying to circumvent the salary cap.  The league and now an independent arbitrator have voided the Devils-Kovalchuk...more

A guest post by Shannon McKarney. Oh, it’s tough, being a Canadian hockey fan. Half your teams don’t make it to the playoffs in the first place. Two of your teams ended up, in fact, as the second-worst and the absolute worst in the league. Cause,...more
