That’s life in the NHL, a results-oriented league where the outcome is all that matters unless you’re a GM, in which case you’re allowed to mumble about your job being hard and everyone is supposed to feel sorry for you. These guys have only had four months to figure this stuff out since the season started, including two weeks off during the Olympics. Be reasonable. Or don’t. Today, we’re going ...

The Best There Ever Was
There are certain constants in this world that seemingly never change. Constants can be from a mathematical point of view where values like the force of gravity and the relationship of a circle's circumference to its diameter never change.
