But in ranking the best skates — by use among NHL players over the 2017-18 season — [...]
2018 NHL Draft
Each year, when the Stanley Cup Playoffs end, only one team can really be happy, right? OK, this year, maybe two. The expansion Las Vegas Golden Knights and the perennially cursed Washington Capitals merely making the Stanley Cup Final marked a historical achievement.

Best Hockey Pants: 2017-2018 Season
As seriously as anyone can take short pants, the NHL takes its pants seriously. So seriously, in fact, the league famously banned a style of full-length trousers that plagued the sport briefly in the 1980s.

Best Hockey Gloves: 2017-2018 Season
Most people probably pay attention to hockey gloves only when they’re being dropped. But players pay great attention — and they’re particular. There were 40 different glove models in use by NHL players at the end of the regular season, sold under eight different brands. CCM was the most-used brand, but its top-selling model wasn’t as popular as the line-leaders [...]

After Vegas Success, NHL Watchers Ask Who Gets Knighted Next
In Vegas, the house always wins. Or in this case, the Fortress. That’s the castle-like deal at one end of T-Mobile Arena, above the ice that the Las Vegas Golden Knights call home. And winning is virtually all the Knights have done since entering the NHL this season, rapidly hitting the expansion jackpot and establishing a template for future franchises that [...]
Top-Paid NHL Players
Let’s get one thing straight: Connor McDavid is the highest-paid player in the NHL. Sort of. Certainly, the Edmonton center’s contract extension, signed in July for eight years and $100 million, gives him far and away the highest average annual salary — $12.5 million per — over the life of a deal when it kicks in next season. But then, Alexander [...]
