Flyers Blow Home Ice & Playoff Preview
Posted on 13 Apr 2009 by Joshua Bartle.
The Flyers players and coaches a like talked about how important it would be to get 4-seed and home ice in the first round in the playoffs, and made that their goal in April. When it was time to seize the opportunity, they left it on the table for the Penguins. Plain and simple, the way this team is playing right now is not good enough. Against a Rangers team with nothing to play for on Easte...

Hurricanes meet Devils
Posted on 13 Apr 2009 by Chris Cote.
For the 4th time since the Hurricanes moved to Raleigh, they will meet the Devils in the postseason with Carolina holding a 2-1 edge in those previous three series. These two teams are almost identical to one another. Both are fast teams, both are led in scoring by a young, 40 goal scoring center, and both have stud goaltending. If you think Jersey has the edge on that last point, consider t...

Loch Ontario Monster? & Team Canada
Posted on 13 Apr 2009 by Kevin Gibson.
Toronto is trying to sign Swedish goalie Jonas Gustvasson. The 6'4 goalie is nicknamed the Monster. I wonder if it has something to do with his height? Gustavsson picked up 5 shutouts in 13 playoff games for Farjestad. The Dallas Stars are apparently also interested. However if The Monster wants to compete for a starting job, Toronto would be his best bet. I can't see the 24 year old ...

“The contract”
Posted on 12 Apr 2009 by Scott Brown.
Shawn Horcoff’s contract continues to be a hot topic in the Edmonton media/call in shows message, I touched on his production and where he would need to be to live up to his deal, but the criticism has heated up… To be fair, one of the main drawbacks of the contract is the impending dropping cap… The contract was signed (or at least announced) on July 17th, 2008 everyone kne...

Who Woulda Thunk It?
Posted on 12 Apr 2009 by Mark Gage.
The Vancouver Canucks North West Division Champions when, after gaining one point in a 4-3 OT loss to Minnesota on Jan 31st, they were 12 points behind Calgary and had played 2 more games than the Flames? While not quite worthy of miracle status, it's pretty damn close in today's NHL game where about 40% of the losing teams still get a point in the standings. Yesterday in Colorado the...

So that’s what a meaningless game feels like
Posted on 12 Apr 2009 by Ryan Cleaver.
You'd like to allow less than a touchdown in the finale of the finest of your 33 regular seasons, but the Washington Capitals can take solace in the fact that this was the first meaningless regular season game the franchise has played in two calendar years. The chink in the run and gun Caps' armor is their vulnerability to the stretch pass and the Florida Panthers attacked that early...

Flyers Await Playoff Opponent
Posted on 12 Apr 2009 by Joshua Bartle.
After another close win vs. the Islanders, the Flyers and their fans will have their eyes up in Montreal, to see who they play in the first round of the playoffs. It will either be the Pittsburgh Penguins or Carolina Hurricanes. The Flyers clinched their playoff spot with a hard-fought game against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. After giving up the first goal of the game in the second perio...

Ducks Clinch a Playoff Spot
Posted on 11 Apr 2009 by Dan Caristo.
The Ducks clinched the playoffs last night in a shootout win versus the Stars. It was a bittersweet end of regulation when the Ducks gave up a late equalizing goal, but only needed a single point to clinch. After the trade deadline all the “experts” predicted Anaheim to quickly drop out of the playoff race and start the rebuilding phase. The Ducks did the opposite, going 10-2 down ...

Oilers Spoil Flames, Division Hopes Over
Posted on 11 Apr 2009 by Alex Hamilton.
I believe it was the worst, objectively speaking, game I have seen all year. Uninspired play from both sides, atrocious reffing, mediocre goaltending and defense, bad ice. It all added up to a 5-1 drubbing of the Flames by the Edmonton Oilers in a must-win game for the Flames. The loss means that the Flames division hopes are all but extinguished; all the Canucks have to do to win the division ...

Pens crush Isles 6-1; Last place clinched
Posted on 10 Apr 2009 by Frank Mazzola.
Tavares or Hedman a near certainty after 30th spot is secured Islander fans, your long wait is over. Your team is now absolutely guaranteed to finish no worst than second from the bottom (pending the results of the Draft Lottery to be held this Tuesday) in the league. A franchise-type player may be yours for the taking. Former Islander captain Bill Guerin scored and Mathieu Garon stopped 28...

Back To Basics
Posted on 10 Apr 2009 by Mark Gage.
Coming on the heels of the extremely entertaining 4-1 win over Calgary 2 days earlier this was a snooze-fest in comparison, but the 1-0 win over the Kings last night was exactly what most of us wanted to see from the Boys. As they pursue home-ice in the playoffs wins are obviously important, however of far more importance to a prolonged Spring on the Left Coast is having the team play the way t...
