Mark Howe’s #2 Goes to Rafters Tonight
Posted on 6 Mar 2012 by Joshua Bartle.
Back in June, I wrote something of a back story regarding Mark Howe's career, as has renowned Flyers blogger Bill Meltzer a number of times. Later in the summer, the Flyers announced that Howe's #2, actually last worn by Lukas Krajicek, would be hung from the rafters. The time has come tonight, as the team for which Mark Howe last played and now is a scout for, the Detroit Red Wings come to tow...

Tough Road Ahead
Posted on 6 Mar 2012 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings have been getting a bit of luck lately. Both Phoenix and San Jose have endured a spate of losses recently, helping out the Kings' playoff hopes. The Kings have been doing their share as well, winning 3 of 4 since the arrival of Jeff Carter. However, the Kings do not have an easy schedule down the stretch and it will take a few different things coming together (in my opinion) for...

Grabbo Gets Extended
Posted on 6 Mar 2012 by Ben Fisher.
Not a bad few days for Mikhail Grabovski, who led the Leafs to victory with a goal and an assist against Montreal (where Grabovski is essentially Public Enemy No. 1) on Saturday, and then celebrated by signing a five-year contract extension to remain in Toronto through 2016-17. The deal, reportedly worth $27.5 million, represents a triumph for the Leafs as well, just weeks after Grabovski trade...

Trade or UFA? – Hurricanes Upgrading
Posted on 6 Mar 2012 by Johnny G.
In the wake of the trade deadline Jim Rutherford express his priority for the off-season as the need for a top-six forward to play with Staal. I am glad to hear this as I think few will disagree with that assessment. My next thought was who should it be? There are two routes to go for Jim Rutherford which ostensibly include unrestricted free-agents and hockey-trades. The list of UFA forwards is...

One Week Later…
Posted on 5 Mar 2012 by Matt Preston.
Those who follow my rambling pontifications with any sort of regularity know I’m prone to three things: 1. Self-deprecation. 2. A propensity for using big words, often in the wrong context, to try and make myself look smart. 3. An over-reliance on clichés. And I have never been one to let a good trend just die, so here is one more: “Don’t quit your day job.” This little writing gig of ...

Ownership Limbo Part 1
Posted on 5 Mar 2012 by Patrick McLellan.
Despite the fact that the Blues have catapulted themselves into the upper echelons of NHL teams this season, their ownership is still in tumultuous territory. Numerous deadlines have come and gone with still no ownership in place. One can easily poke around the web for the reports on this, but to summarize, the Blues still do not have an owner, Tom Stillman and his group have not finalized thei...

Bruins continue to struggle
Posted on 4 Mar 2012 by Patrick Regan.
The Bruins looked to bounce back sunday after a tough loss to the Islanders the day before. This would not be an easy task however as the Bruins had to take on the first place Rangers. The Bruins got out to a rough start and went down 2-0 early in the game forcing Claude Julien to call a timeout. The Bruins seemed to get their act together and put together two goals to tie the game. However, in...

Best Advice: Retire Sid Crosby
Posted on 4 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
The signs were there. Though it’d been months since his January ‘11 concussion, Sidney Crosby was still having symptoms that persisted well into summer’s pre-season prep period. An extended recovery, coupled with the brief transition time between the all-go signal and ice play, made me sense the Penguins’ captain was alright but maybe not all right. Understandably eager to return to act...

Can Carlyle Turn Things Around?
Posted on 3 Mar 2012 by Ben Fisher.
Look, I'll be the first to question the true impact of a coach in any sport. Fact is, your team is only as good as the players on it and those players shouldn't require a good coach to play hard, nor do they need a bad coach to coast if they should be so inclined. But something had to be done – and fast – for the free-falling Leafs and their 1-9-1 mark over the past 11 games. Withou...

Gilroy on Board And Sens Moving Up
Posted on 1 Mar 2012 by Jonathan Ward.
Gilroy on Board + Moving Up On Monday, February 27, the Senators acquired defenseman Matt Gilroy from the Tampa Bay Lightning, the team's only move at the NHL's trade deadline. In exchange, Tampa received Brian Lee, a player who never fully met the expectations of the Senators organization. Throughout his time in Ottawa, Lee struggled, finding his way in and out of the lineup on a regular basis...
