There are various reports that the Anaheim Ducks might be willing to trade Chris Pronger. Also that the Ottawa Senators could be sellers this year. With this in mind, could Chris Neil be available? Could those players be the extra toughness the Montreal Canadiens need to make a good push this year?
Recently, there was an article in the National Post on Tuesday, September 9, 2008 regarding hockey goons. They tackled the question of fighters like Jarod Boll and George Parros being overpaid and over supported. Dr. John P. Haisken-DeNew, an economist at the Ruhr and Pestphalian Institute for Economic Research concluded research that showed some players who fight a lot may not be getting points but are still being paid a substantial amount of money. Basically he is saying they are being paid to fight. He thought the players who fought would be penalized financially but this is not the case.
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?
The NHL entry draft is in two weeks. The Montreal Canadiens are making some news. Some rumours are floating around about players coming, being interested in, or the Habs having interest in them. Along with some minor news.
…would you move guys like Patrick Marleau or Joe Thornton? Anything a GM does is an attempt to make his team better, but would that be the move to help the Sharks gain some depth?
Jason Spezza is definitely a player any GM would love to have on his team, but what if the Ottawa Senators are looking to trade him? What are the possibilities and what kind of team would they look to become by doing such a trade? What kind of team would be willing to pay the price?
Much has been made in regards to Mats Sundin’s comments about his hockey future. Will he stay? Will he go? Will he hang up the skates? No one, not even Sundin apparently, knows. Unfortunately, it looks like this situation is going to drag on for another few weeks until Sundin figures things out.
There are a lot of reports surfacing in the mainstream media that former LA Kings coach Barry “Billy Ray” Melrose will be introduced as the Tampa Bay Lightning’s new head coach, possibly as early as today. That might be a problem for current coach, John Tortorella…
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?
On his Maxim.com blog, Buffalo Sabres All-Star goalie Ryan Miller took the time to answer a question posed by RumorMeThis. Wanna know what his his favorite playoff moment is?
The second round of the play-offs will be as good, if not better than the first round. With all the interesting match-ups for the next round, it’s hard to say which one will be the best to watch.
With the Anaheim Ducks now out of the play-offs, Brian Burke now has some time to think about his future in the NHL. Where will Burke end up next season?
The Montreal Canadiens once again lost to the Boston Bruins, this time 5-4 in Boston. Saku Koivu, and Francis Bouillon both came back tonight, it seemed to spark the Habs, obviously not enough.
With the Ottawa Senators going from heroes in the beginning of the season, to zeroes and getting swept in the post season after squeaking in, there are many questions that surround the Sens.
