Where Did The Goalies Go?
Andrew Lickenbrock has created this handy-dandy map to show movement in the days leading up to an especially goalie-heavy trade deadline.

Martin Brodeur Asks Out Of New Jersey. But Who Else Would Want Him?
Last night's win over the Red Wings, his 684th all-time, was either Martin Brodeur's last start as a Devil, or his last start as a Devil until Friday (when NJ takes on Detroit again in the first half of back-to-backs). So no one knew quite how to act....

Now Corey Crawford's Pads Are Missing
Corey Crawford is cursed. The Blackhawks goaltender took to the Soldier Field ice on Saturday in his regular mask, because his custom Stadium Series mask just never showed up. Missing? Stolen?

Kevin Westgarth and Luke Gazdic fought last night during the Flames-Oilers game, and it was a rather even match.

Tim Thomas Makes Outstanding Save After Falling On His Ass

Do The Olympics Really Screw The Best NHL Teams?
Since the Nagano Olympics in 1998, NHL players have played Olympic hockey, and NHL coaches have bitched about NHL players playing Olympic hockey. It punishes and best teams, with the best players, they say. But is there any evidence to actually back this up? Well, it's complicated. ...
Is Time For Give NFL, NBA, MLB, And NHL Medals, Olympic-Style
Even though our gaze has drifted back home after being fixed out in Sochi for so long, we still have Olympics on the brain.

T.J. Oshie is on Team USA for his shootout prowess. This is no secret.
