NHL Network drops their top 10 goalies list. Lets fix this…
Connor Hellebuyck – An easy #1 for me and that is no offense to Vasi, the reigning Cup champion goalie. Hellebuyck stood on his head for the Jets and deserves the spot. John Gibson – Easily the best goaltender on the worst team on this list. I really believe he is that good and just needs something in front of him. Darcy Kuemper – Anyone see him against the Avs in the playoffs? Enough said. Andrei Vasilevskiy – This is one that I would love to see in between the pipes for the Sabres for a couple dozens games. Is he that awesome he propels his team up? Or is…

A Deeper Look into the Adidas Reverse Retro Jersey: Anaheim Ducks
This will be a series where I do a post on each team with where the jersey inspiration came from, what they did, what they could have done better, and how it fits eventually with the full set of pants, socks, helmet, gloves, etc… Anaheim Ducks (1995): The unofficially dubbed, “Wild Wing” jersey was originally worn in the Ducks’ third season and was their first third jersey. The fan favorite is the only jersey to feature a team’s mascot. Reveal: Inspiration: What they could have done differently: Give wild wing a different jersey color. Sorry for the poor photoshop.

Adidas Reverse Retro Jerseys Ranked!
Anaheim Ducks – Jersey porn right here! Los Angeles Kings – Colors are so gorgeous. Well done. Buffalo Sabres – Colors are on point. If they did the goat head as the main logo, it would be a top 10 jersey of all time IMO. Get rid of “Buffalo” and the gray stripe on the bottom too. Colorado Avalanche – Very simple and paying respect to the Nordiques. St Louis Blues – An exact reverse retro for them. Well done! Edmonton Oilers – The orange pops so well. Very nice without getting crazy. Minnesota WIld – Colors are sooooo nice. North Stars logo would have been perfect, but I udnerstand…
