Reaves Night of Revenge

The Instigator |Episode 20 Reaves Night of Revenge   Vegas Golden Knights tough guy Ryan Reaves got his revenge on Washington Capitals enforcer Tom Wilson. It came with a vicious blind sided hit. Was it revenge for beating them in the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals or was it revenge for all of the dirty hits and players he has injured over the past few years. I am guessing the latter of the two. Wilson has a reputation of being a predator. Well on this night of revenge, he became the vic

Going Through The 2018 NHL 3rd Jerseys...So Far

There is a common theme with most of the NHL 3rd jersey releases in 2018. They're nostalgic and simple. Many of the 3rd jerseys were alterations of the previous Stadium Series jerseys worn by some of the teams. Others, were completely new with a resemblance of Deja Vu infused in the sweater. It's definitely familiar, except now Adidas is branded onto the jersey where as before, it was Reebok's duty.   Anaheim Ducks This modern classic was released for the 25th anniversary se

NHLErrata launch

Ever since I started collecting the NHL data it was very important to me to validate the collected information.
