Team North America lost a heartbreaker to Russia in their previous game, completely outshooting and outchancing Ovechkin and pals in the final frame only to come up one goal short. The upstart young stars team has been full value so far this tournament, providing entertaining, high-octane hockey that puts their opponents on their heels. The…
View image | gettyimages.com It’s an indication of the strength of this particular UFA crop that Justin Williams comes in number 1 on our list. That’s not to take anything away from the 33 year old, who has been a high-end winger for years. But his age and the fact that he’s only scored in the 40-point range…
There is a lot of information and analysis to consider when it comes to the NHL entry draft. Hundreds of draft eligible kids, thousands of stats lines, dozens of draft coverage publications/blogs and innumerable opinions about who is going to pick whom. If you’re like me, you probably spend a lot of time clicking from tab-to-tab…
Photo Credit: Sergei Belski/USA TODAY Sports This is a series counting down the top-10 pending UFAs. It will be posted across the Nation Network over the next month! Enjoy! Almost every postseason there arises an unlikely hero from the middle of a team’s roster to make headlines. And any time that player is a pending…
About this time last year we at the Nations were trying to figure out a way to make the seemingly endless lock-out interesting (and to keep the lights on as our advertisers fled in terror). Flash forward 12 months and we’re bigger than ever after adding Brian Sutherby, Daily Faceoff and getting JetsNation…
By now most of have heard of this new Budweiser red light thing. For those of you living under a rock (or who PVR every game and zip through commercials), Bud has come up with a replica goal light which you can sync with your favorite team, install in your house, and have it…
We’ve run a few of these recently and there seemed to be some interest, so Draft Street has set up another Nations Freeroll contest for this week. Here’s a run-down of the rules for those who are unfamiliar:
So NHL hockey is back and every nation site is rocking with tons of daily content, comments, arguments and the odd terrible MS paint picture or photoshop. Every site, that is, except for the baby in the network: JetsNation. I convinced Wanye to buy JetsNation.ca and develop the site as soon as they announced…
Apparently Olli Jokinen landed in Winnipeg after his second stint ended in Calgary this off-season. And now he’s playing with Evander Kane in the Jets top six and has already collected an impressive 0 points in three games played. As a native Flames fan I have naturally had many years (on more than one…
May all the Nations Network writers have a very merry Christmas today and tomorrow. Unless you’re a grinch or something, then may you have a miserable humbug and successfully ruin everyone else’s good time (looking at you, Bettman).
Well it hasn’t been the merriest of Christmas seasons this year has it? Instead of squeezing present shopping around Hockey Night in Canada or Battles of Alberta, we’ve had to put up with histrionic lawyers at press conferences, game cancellation announcements and endless debates about which side of the labor argument is more reprehensible.
I have been doing monthly NHL equivalence updates for Flames prospects this year and recently decided to take a look at Jets prospects to see how the two teams compare. For those unaware, NHL equivalencies (NHLE) are a method of adjusting a prospects points according to how good his league is relative to…
