Im sick and tired of ignoring the 1,000 pound gorilla in the room. The Buffalo Sabres have a crisis in their crease on nights when Ryan Miller is resting. Lindy Ruff and Darcy Regier had better address this matter ASAP as their Sabres have frittered away a sizable first place lead that they had b

If there was any glimmer of hope that this yearToronto Maple Leafs was just a club that started off the season in a bad slump and actually not as bad as theyâ &tm;ve appeared to be, that hope was extinguished on Thursday night with the disgraceful 6-5 shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Hawks face off against the Edmonton Oilers tonight at 9:30 Eastern at the Rexall Center. On the surface, this would look like 1-2 relatively easy road points for the Hawks, coming off a 7-1 blitzkrieg of Albertas other NHL team, the Flames, Thursday night, and facing a banged up Oilers squad

Last nights game had all the makings of trouble after the first period. Goalie fighting the puck, iffy PK work and general timing issues after a 6 day break all provided the Avalanche with a 2 goal lead after 20 minutes. Into the second the Canucks got a PP and new hero to Canucks fans everywhere

MINI-PREVIEW (1:30 AM) The Flyers will need to quickly forget about their 6-3 loss in San Jose and battle through potentially tired legs as the club travels to Phoenix to take on the hard-working Coyotes. For Philly, it marks the fourth game of the week (in three different time zones) as well as th

TORONTO (Nov. 21) â " Though itâ &tm;s understandable why followers of the Maple Leafs are angry and disheartened by the clubâ &tm;s dreadful showing in the first quarter of the season, Iâ &tm;m astonished with the number of people that are essentially writing off the Brian Burke-Ron Wilson tandem.

Maybe its just because "Star Trek" came out on DVD this week or maybe its because my good friend Rob Ryan wrote a great article, reviewing "Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan" but lately, the Canucks-Avs games feels like that movie. For years, the Avs have beat up on the Canucks. At one point they h

When the Avs take the ice for their rematch vs. the Vancouver Canucks, theyll have reinforcements in the form of T.J. Galiardi and John-Michael Liles. Both will be great to have back but Galiardi in particular, as the team went 3-5-1 without him and 0-2 vs. Vancouver. Galiardi was supposed to be o

PREVIEW (11:30 AM) Winners of seven of their last eight games, the Philadelphia Flyers will face off tonight against a San Jose Sharks team that is 9-1-3 in its last 13 games.

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

When John Tortorella took over as coach last year from Tom Renney, much was made about the change in style from a dump-and-chase to puck control fromat. 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.
