Time to get this started…well how did we get here?
New Jersey Devils (51-27-4) — 3rd seed.. won Atlantic!
If someone had told me, the Devils would have been without Martin Brodeur for most of the season and yet win the Atlantic….I would have said you were cuckoo! Even during our preview show in August, I [...]
”Goaltending is a normal job, sure. How would you like it in your job if every time you made a small mistake, a red light went on over your desk and 15,000 people stood up and yelled at you.” – Jacques Plante
Pride is good in small doses, but never something to depend on. With last [...]
Many supporters of Leafs Nation have been truly skeptical of the career of Nik Antropov.
It started when the Leafs took him in the first round, 10th overall, when many believed he would be an early second-rounder.
But he had a very dominant season in the second tier of the then, RSL, and so the Leafs went [...]
The Kostitsyn brothers may be linked to organised crime.
After being drafted in the third round, 69th overall of the 2006 NHL entry draft, people were questioning whether Mason has the talent and skill to be a starter in the NHL. In order to start for an NHL franchise, a goalie was must have quick reflexes, know each team’s strenghs and weaknesses with the [...]
We all know this is the 100th season of a great hockey club the Canadiens, but I must point out the fans of this storied franchise must be getting on the management’s nerves. Let me explain my point.
For the most part of the season, the Habs loyal have linked their club to many star players. [...]
New Jersey Devils have won eight in-a-row and are the hottest team in the league. Depsite that, GM Lou Lamoriello is still looking to make a move and Devils veteran forward Brian Gionta is rumored to be one of the players on the trading block.
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?
The addition of Brendan Shanahan means that someone will be coming out of the line-up for the New Jersey Devils. John Madden may not be coming out of the line-up, he might be leaving town.
The Montreal Canadiens are better by the numbers with the exception of the power play than at this time last year. Some surprises good and bad, and one hot rumour!
Steve Yzerman, one of the most beloved figureheads in all of hockey. Continuously mentioned in the same breath as recent hockey greats; Gretzky, Lemieux and Messier. His resume as a player is almost unparalleled; 6th place in all-time NHL scoring, 10 time NHL all-star, recipient of the Lester B. Pearson, Frank J. Selke, Conn Smythe [...]
I’ll be updating this column weekly, tracking the season of the New York Islanders. The big story thus far has been the inactivity of franchise goalie Rick Dipietro. He finally received his first start of the year against Florida on Saturday night and let in a goal early on. However, he settled down afterwards and played reasonably well, keeping the Islanders in the game.
It’s tough to watch the Rangers when you live in Ottawa (still working on getting Centre Ice). However, I discovered that Leafs TV online is still offering free online streaming of games, including the broadcast. That’s how I enjoyed watching a tense 1-0 Rangers shootout win against a relentless Toronto Maple Leafs team last night.
As just about everybody on the hockey planet is aware, the Toronto Maple Leafs have been devoid of a Stanley Cup for the last 41 years, seemingly on the path to 42. In an attempt to be facetious, many Leaf cohorts would happily replace their first-born to see their beloved blue & white win the prestigious trophy. There is quite obviously a myriad of reasons why the Maple Leafs along with their numerous fans have not relished in the ecstasy of Stanley Cup success in quite sometime. Over the years, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) has turned this team into one of the most profitable franchises in all of professional sports. They have focused on the business aspect of this team and they have succeeded admirably. They have continuously put making money ahead of winning hockey games. However, over recent years, the business aspect has seemingly turned against them.
Last season the Minnesota Wild won their first ever Northwest Division title but were ousted in the first round of the playoffs by the Colorado Avalanche. The big question for the Minnesota Wild this season is the whether or not they picked up enough goal scorers to make up for the players they lost in free agency. Here’s a quick rundown off who came and went, along with their scoring numbers from last year.
