Crunch Wrap: Welcome to the Salt City, Conor Geekie

Okay. Sorry for missing a week there, but we’re back on the Syracuse Crunch coverage. You know who else is back? It’s Conor Geekie. The Tampa Bay Lightning reassigned him earlier in the month after he was off to a bit of a slow start in Tampa, but he hasn’t missed a beat at the AHL level. In three games he has three points (two goals, one assist) with both goals coming on the power play. Last season, he put up 20 points (11 goals, 9 assists) in 27 games, so, if nothing else, we know that he’s ...

On October 30th in 1997, New York Rangers forward Wayne Gretzky skated in a game against cross-river rival New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum with his name mispelled "Gretkzy" on the back of his jersey. Far from an isolated incident in the world of sport with typos and misspellings abound, rarely does it involve the sports greatest player of all time skating for one of the league's highest

Skinner & Pickard On The Clock With Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers could clean some things up in their game, but are currently over .500 and in a playoff spot. Things could be worse and they have been to start each of the last two seasons, but the team turned it around and has gone to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals. Goaltending has been the biggest issue with the Oilers and why many believe they haven't yet hoisted the Cup. On that, Ryan Richaug said, "They're going to let it ride here with Skinner for a little bit...If he's not capable o...

We Are In the Minnesota Wild's Metapod Era

Last year, the Minnesota Wild's motto was "Choose Your Hard." We don't know what their motto is this year, but "Choose Your Harden" is as good a guess as any. That's a Pokémon joke, so let's explain that real quick. Pokémon evolve into stronger forms throughout the games, and Caterpie might be...

Oilers Rumors: Cap Clearing Moves Coming Shortly

The Edmonton Oilers seem to be in great hands with general manager Stan Bowman as he has made almost all solid moves since joining the team. Nobody can bat 1000, but he also doesn't sit still and let things play out when there are obvious issues. The Oilers don't have much cap space to work with this season, but will have plenty to utilize in the offseason. But that is a long way away and Edmonton is a Stanley Cup contender again, even if they don't look like it quite yet. To get there, some m...
