With the recent losing streak the Pittsburgh Penguins have been on, it is no surprise that everyone is looking to GM Ray Shero to make some moves to help the team get out of the midseason slump they are in.
I believe that prior to the trade deadline, Shero will be under a bit of pressure [...]
Penguins’ GM Ray Shero was one busy man this offseason, replacing several key members of the Eastern Conference champs, such as Marian Hossa, Ryan Malone, Gary Roberts, Ty Conklin and Jarkko Ruutu. Shero did an admirable job during free agency to fill the holes, not only in signing free agents Miro Satan, Ruslan Fedotenko, Matt Cooke and Eric Godard, but also in resigning veterans Brooks Orpik and Pascal Dupuis.
A short summary of the opening night contest between the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In a way the Detroit Red Wings have one of the toughest jobs in hockey this coming season – defending the Stanley Cup. Detroit was the last team to win back to back championships (in ‘97 and ‘98) and is considered a favorite to repeat in ‘08-’09 – which is saying a lot in an era where repeats are rare and more often than not a team wins the Cup and finds their roster cracked open before the start of the next season, the pieces of their Stanley Cup puzzle scattered into free agency, priced out of the team’s salary cap allowances after having proven their worth all the way to the ultimate prize.
I recently got the opportunity to sit down with “Hockey Days” author Howard Shapiro for a little Q & A. Shapiro is on a media blitz promoting his latest effort, “Hockey Player For Life,” set for release October 7.
We all remember the Winter Classic played in Buffalo New Years Day. This year the Winter Classic is making its way to Chicago where the Blackhawks will face off against the Detroit Red Wings at Wrigley Field on January 1, 2009.
The star winger that was traded at the deadline to Pittsburgh has decided to sign with the Detroit Red Wings a one year deal worth 7.4 million dollars.
On this past Friday–draft day–the Montreal Canadiens traded their first round draft pick–25th overall–along with their second round draft pick next season to the Calgary Flames for forward Alex Tanguay. Here are some statistics and an opinion on how Tanguay will affect the Habs.
The 2008 entry draft is two days away. At this point too many things are happening to believe no trades will take place. Here are some final rumours.
Things are pretty busy in Montreal these days and rumors are all over the place. Maxime Lapierre, Andrei Kostitsyn, Corey Locke, Mats Sundin, Teemu Selanne, Marian Hossa: what’s Bob Gainey doing?
With the draft only being 10 days away, here are some more Montreal Canadiens rumours, updates and minor news.
It is no secret as to who has been the favourite team of most NHL fans during the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Pittsburgh Penguins have become the darlings of this year’s playoffs, which has prompted many to jump on their bandwagon. Boasting intriguing youth such as Sidney Crosby, Evgeny Malkin and Marc-Andre Fleury, it is easy for fans, especially young ones, to get caught up in the hype associated with this young and offensively gifted team.
With draft day just 21 days away there is too much of nothing going on in Montreal. Too quiet. With all the restricted free agents and a few unrestricted free agents to sign, could one think that Habs general manager is up to something?
The Pittsburgh Penguins are the first team to the Stanley Cup final. The Pens soundly defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 6-0 Sunday night leaving no doubt that the Pens loss in game four was a wake-up call.
The biggest knock on Marian Hossa was his play in the post season. Know that Hossa has played 12 games in the post season this year, where are the critics?
