NHL Free Agency- Less of a Frenzy
Posted on 2 Jul 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The NHL Free Agency Frenzy this year had big names and potential drama, but for the most part, the teams played it pretty close to the vest. Instead of rebuilding with key pieces, most teams opted for add-ons; good, consistent players in secondary roles who could be relied on to do the little things right. Late re-signings stole most of the drama, with quality players being locked up by their o...

No Spending Spree in Ottawa
Posted on 1 Jul 2012 by Mika Oehling.
There will be fireworks in Ottawa today, but they won't be for blockbuster deals. The Senators decided to forego big names on the first day of NHL's free agency with a couple of small deals and an abrupt stop to the rumour mill, as hopes for Nash and Parise were dashed. Perhaps it's the aura of fiscal responsibility in Ottawa which has caught on to the Senators team. Ottawa's deals for Lundin, ...

Draft Day and Rumours Day
Posted on 23 Jun 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The 2012 NHL Draft is almost wrapped up in Pittsburgh today, with the closing rounds set to go before the end of the day, but as the rounds come to a close, so does the book on some rumours, big and small. The day started out with intrigue, as Jordan Staal of the Pittsburgh Penguins refused a 10-year extension with the team in the morning, got traded to his brother's franchise in Carolina, and ...

2012 NHL Awards Belong to Shan-Man
Posted on 20 Jun 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The 2012 NHL Awards in Las Vegas was a big night for Evgeni Malkin, Gabriel Landeskog, Erik Karlsson and Henrik Lundqvist. It may not have been the kind of night any of them expected; the night was almost too big for Malkin, who struggled through speeches for the Lindsay and the Hart, Karlsson delivered a half speech, Landeskog's mother was working her tan and Lundqvist outdid them all by dropp...

The Senators 2012 Draft Look
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The Ottawa Senators find themselves roughly in the middle of the pack for this year's NHL Draft selection process- for now. Rumours abound that the Sens will do something unexpected this year, including trading picks for available players or going with a goaltender in the first round, a move considered risky for many, considering their often long development process. So what will it be next wee...

The Usual Suspects in Vegas
Posted on 14 Jun 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The 2012 NHL Awards will be handed out in Vegas on June 20th and the nominees list is somewhat repetitious; whether or not some people will think this is a good thing will vary across teams, but New York Rangers fans will have plenty to smile about. Henrik Lundqvist shows up three times on the list, Callahan is up for the Messier leadership award, and Tortorella makes the short list for the Jac...

Saving the Best for Last
Posted on 11 Jun 2012 by Mika Oehling.
It's the Queen's Jubilee this year, but hockey royalty has just been crowned in LA. The LA Kings, after surrendering two odd games in a row to the New Jersey Devils, soundly beat them for the Cup 6-1 in a wild game. It wasn't a beautiful game through and through, but the end result is always the same and you can't help but feel the emotion. LA is ecstatic and it's impossible not to feel proud a...

No LA Crowning in Newark
Posted on 9 Jun 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The LA Kings looked anything but dominant in their game 5 match up with the New Jersey Devils, as the Devils came back with a 2-1 win to force a game 6 in LA. It appears as if the pressure of hoisting the Cup has finally gotten to the Kings, and nobody seemed to be feeling it more than goaltender Jonathon Quick. Quick has been the runaway Conn Smythe nominee in this series through 3 games, but ...

Calm before the storm?
Posted on 6 Jun 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The New Jersey Devils survived elimination in the Stanley Cup Final with a 3-1 win and did it with a relative amount of calm. The Kings showed signs of finally cracking to the pressure of a big game and it all unraveled in the third period where all 4 goals were scored. But could this be the calm before the storm? LA has been so dominant in this series and New Jersey looked done in game three. ...

Nothing to Show for It
Posted on 4 Jun 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The New Jersey Devils fought their way to the Stanley Cup Final, but now that they're in it with the almost perfect LA Kings, they have very little to show for it. LA is steamrolling their way to the Cup and is up 3-0 over the Devils in this best of 7 series. It could all be over on Wednesday in LA which would be the best possible ending to LA's post-season Cinderella run. Marty Brodeur has sai...

King of the Road
Posted on 2 Jun 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The LA Kings continue to be perfect on the road and have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the series. It wasn't an easy task; it took overtime to finish with a 2-1 win, and despite scoring early in the game, the Devils did manage a comeback in the third when it seemed least likely to happen. The Devils can't seem to get the kind of start that they need to be a factor in this series. They're alway...

Too Prudent at Prudential Centre
Posted on 30 May 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The New Jersey Devils may look back at this game and pinpoint their first period as the place where they lost this one. This isn't to say that the rest of the game was perfect; not by any stretch of the imagination. But the fact remains that they were outplayed and outskated in the first period by the LA Kings and didn't manage to capitalize on their power play opportunity after LA's goal. LA k...
