30 NHL Prospects Ready for Prime Time
Posted on 15 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
Cap space has become one of the best assets a team can have in the NHL’s Salary Cap Era. One of the easiest ways for a GM to give himself cap flexibility is to use roster spots on rookies that carry entry level deals, and that’s precisely what teams are doing. NHL rosters were loaded with rookies during the 2010-11 season, and the trend is expected to continue in 2011-12. As fans start to p...

Penguins: Who Stays And Who Goes
Posted on 14 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Earlier in the week, former Pittsburgh Penguin Jaromir Jagr said that he had the best years of his career while playing in Pittsburgh. With the media the way it is, it of course stirred up a conversation about a possible return to the ‘Burgh for Jagr. While those rumors have slowed down over the past few days, the talks about which free agents the Pens need to retain are heating up. ...

A Remarkable Journey Comes To An End
Posted on 27 Apr 2011 by Anna Santiago.
The two teams came into this series as polar opposites. The Vancouver Canucks were the President's Trophy winners; the undisputed league leaders of the NHL. Though they've had a couple of cup runs, it's been almost been 20 years since they've made it close to dancing with Lord Stanley. But with those unstoppable Sedins and their terrific netminder, the Vancouver Canucks came into the 2011 NHL p...

Luongo Starts Playoffs With A Shutout
Posted on 14 Apr 2011 by Kevin Kelly.
The second season started tonight as the NHL playoffs began with five games on tap including the Vancouver Canucks who hosted the defending Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks. Vancouver who won the President’s Trophy for most points in the regular season has high expectations and anything else but getting to the cup finals would be considered a lost season. Vancouver and Chicago are ve...

998..999..1000!
Posted on 1 Apr 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Jarome Iginla received a partial breakaway feed from Alex Tanguay and raced down the right side snapping a wrist shot on the blocker side beneath Jaroslav Halak's blockers and history was made. Iginla's second goal and third point of the night led the Flames to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues keeping their slim playoff hopes alive but more historically important it was the 1000th point of th...

Sharks Split Games on the Road
Posted on 16 Mar 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
Just prior to puck-drop against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night, I tweeted that I was a little surprised to see Antti Niemi get the start in net for the San Jose Sharks. I felt as though he was due for an “off” night, being his 25th consecutive start, and that we'd might see Antero Niittymaki between the pipes. Sure, playing in Chicago against the team he went the distance wi...

Two-faced Lightning lose 2-1 to Senators
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Christopher Tran.
In a post-game interview after the win against the Chicago Blackhawks, Steven Stamkos had these sentiments “”We're really persevering right now. We're learning about what it takes to win in those tight games, and for the most part we've been on the winning side of those.” But, what a difference one game can make. The Lightning came out flat and stayed that way the rest of the ...

Streak Snapped In Florida
Posted on 8 Mar 2011 by Anna Santiago.
For the streaking Chicago Blackhawks, tonight's game should have been an easy win. The Florida Panthers, who were coming off of a streak of their own (a 5-game losing streak, to be exact) are ranked 13th in the standings in the East and 26th overall. But maybe it was the Panthers' determination to snap out of that slump, and the Blackhawks complacency with their 4th place ranking in the West, t...

The Hawks have found their stride
Posted on 6 Mar 2011 by Kelly Barrett.
With 8 straight wins, Chicago is flying high in the standings at 9th overall with 80 points. They have been creeping up in the standings since the All-Star break when they were out of contention, and now seem to be unstoppable. The Hawks have found their stride. Can they keep it up going into post season? 16 games left in regulation play. After taking care of the Maple Queens, I mean Le...

Phil stays, Campoli goes
Posted on 1 Mar 2011 by Mika Oehling.
It was a tale of two men named Chris at the trade deadline: Chris Campoli, a young defenseman who has been playing a pretty good season so far with consistent, aggressive play and Chris Phillips, a veteran presence in Ottawa with less than stellar numbers, but history on his side. Chris Phillips resigned with Ottawa for 3 years and while he took what some people would consider a small financial...

Down But Not Out…Or Are They?
Posted on 1 Mar 2011 by Nicholas Starcevich.
Sunday night the Predators tallied two points in a much needed victory, ending their four game skid. The streak could not have come at a worse time, but then again it could not have ended at a better one. While other teams like the red hot Chicago Blackhawks for example are doing what the Preds are not – tallying off points and gaining ground - Nashville continues to spin their...
