Not Passing The Doobie!
Posted on 21 Jul 2011 by Dan Rakusan.
Well, it's official! The Rangers have avoided arbitration with cornerstone forward Brandon Dubinsky. Four years, $16.8 million seemed to work for both sides as the hearing was approaching on Thursday. This bodes well for the Rangers, who have now successfully re-signed 3 of 4 RFA players who filed for arbitration. The only one left is potential captain, Ryan Callahan, who is scheduled t...

Posted on 20 Jul 2011 by Corey Krakower.
It’s been a busy July for the NHL with respect to player movement, and that is expected to continue, as we get closer to the start of training camps.

Experience Factor
Posted on 20 Jul 2011 by Eric Cooney.
I've been thinking about my post from yesterday, trying to pinpoint what about the bottom-six, chiefly the third line, gives me pause for concern about the next season. It's not in the ability of the individual players, because I like the game of all of the guys I mentioned independently. Maybe it's not even about the possible chemistry or lack thereof either because there is no real way...

Chemistry Compromised?
Posted on 19 Jul 2011 by Eric Cooney.
It's fairly evident that the Kings made improvements through their off-season moves this summer. I will go further and qualify this with “on paper”, so as to not rile up anyone adamant that the Kings will still be worse than their favorite team next season. That said, the off-season additions have excited Kings fans and have us asking, “Is it October?” (more…)

ERIC GODARD AND THE ROLE OF A HEAVYWEIGHT
Posted on 12 Jul 2011 by Travis Currie.
So the Dallas Stars have gone out and signed someone cut from the cloth of what some feel is an obsolete profession: a true heavyweight in Eric Godard. But is the role really obsolete ? Is it really a useless art, once used to combat the other team's heavyweight, intimidate, and police the game ? The NHL's heavyweight heyday was back in the mid 80s to mid 90s. Every team had their version, at l...
