The Pittsburgh Penguins have put Miroslav Satan on waivers. This move leads me to believe that they are making room and clearing space to make a deadline move today. It wouls seem that the player that will gain the most interest from other teams is young center Jordan Staal. The Pens have signed Staal to [...]
The Pens give up on Ryan Whitney and look to make a playoff push.
The Pittsburg Penguins are a team that will take any win they can get. The New Your Islanders gave them quite the game.
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 [...]
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.
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.
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.
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.
Next year could prove to be what many hockey circles across the globe are calling the NHL’s most abundantly-laden, super-star draft ever.
With a decision forthcoming, let’s take another look at the potential landing spots for Mats Sundin and the pros and cons of each.
The NHL in the USA, much like Rodney Dangerfield, seems to get no respect from the mainstream media. You constantly hear about how the game needs to be marketed better to the US fan or that Sidney Crosby is the face of the new NHL. To his credit, he has taken on the responsibility of this onerous task and is very open with his time.
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.
So many talented players, only one Conn Smythe Winner. Who are the best players? We know who the best players are. Who’s the ultimate MVP? That we could know as early as Monday. Who should win the Conn Smythe? I have a pretty good idea…
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?
