I was going to write this blog yesterday and talk about being prepared for a team you humiliated and the ramifications of a 5 day break at home. Im glad I didnt as what happened last night in Calgary really shook my reality. If the Flames were a team looking for revenge and such it certainly did

Greetings from the Orlando airport for the annual family jaunt to the in-laws. I just landed and went through my texts and two sources, from different ends of the continent have told me that they are hearing that the Oilers are putting a huge package together to try and draw either Alexander Semin

My Take: What can you do? The New Jersey Devils started off 9-0-0 on the road and now are 0-1-1 in the last two road games. Not to fear, this is a little bump in the road for the first place Devils. The Nashville Predators played a solid game and Pekka Rinne was outstanding. It was good to see t

In addition, the defensemen would be more involved in pinching at the blue lines while forwards would have additional backchecking responsibilities

Going into last nights game it would have been pretty hard to imagine any scenario that would have been tougher on the team than the events of October twelfth when the Flames lost after taking a 5-0 first period lead. That shouldnt be an issue anymore. To be fair, the first period was an incredi

Is the game plan too complicated to figure out? The Canadiens have two options against the Capitals tonight: Limit them to two or less goals somehow (probably would require another tremendous performance from Price, and at least 25 shot-blocks from the players in front of him), or break it open and

This is a fun fantasy game! Simply pick a player who you think will register a point out of each nights lineup of games. Kopitar? Crosby? Kane? You can even enter players days in advance if you arent able to get to the site each day. The current longest streak (which just ended) is 20 games.

A lots being made of the Blackhawks impending signings of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith. Various reports have the Hawks needing to complete trades in order to sign the players, Duncan Keith (contrary to his own recent quotes) not completely onboard, etc. Now, the picture is not co

West Coast games always present me a challenge these days. Last night, I stood no chance. With that, I wont pretend to be qualified to provide any sort of comprehensive recap or critique of the Tampa Bay Lightnings 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks in Anaheim last night. But I will take the blame

When captain Ilya Kovalchuk returned from his broken foot last week, the top line of he, Nik Antropov and Maxim Afinogenov were reunited and have since gone on an offensive assaultâ ¦leaving opposing defenses and goalkeepers in ruin. Counting the 5-3 win last Thursday in New York, the Thrashers hav

No matter what, it will be for Minnesota native Kyle Okposo who is being celebrated by friends and family during this mini-homecoming. A glimpse into Kyleâ &tm;s personal life revealed in todayâ &tm;s Newsday paints a picture of a young man with a very large, loving family. But the truth is the Is
