San Jose Sharks Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Christopher Tran.
The San Jose Sharks have already secured their biggest need of the summer—a first pairing defensemen. Mark the date: June 26—the day the Sharks acquired defenseman, Brent Burns. This pickup wasn’t without significant cost; in return the Sharks gave the Wild a budding, but inconsistent, Devin Setoguchi, last year’s first-round draft choice Charlie Coyle, and their 2011 first-round pi...

Columbus Blue Jackets Summer Playbook
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
Columbus had a very disappointing 2010-11 season, prompting GM Scott Howson to create an aggressive approach to the offseason. His first big splash was trading the #8 overall pick in the draft (Sean Couturier) and Jake Voracek to the Flyers in exchange for superstar Jeff Carter.

It's easy for the Oilers to keep developing their young talent and the Sens are ...

Blue Jackets Lay a Thrashing
Posted on 21 Sep 2010 by Jason Wagensveld.
The Blue Jackets started their preseason with a 5-2 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers. The forward line of Tom Sestito, Mike Blunden, and Kyle Wilson had a strong game and were responsible for two goals and 5 assists. Veteran goalie Mathieu Garon and top prospect David Leneveu split the playing time in nets and both played solid letting in one goal each. Mike Commodore earned 5 of h...

Bouncing Czechs Too Much For Latvia
Posted on 20 Feb 2010 by Dan Rakusan.
You have to give Latvia credit; they did not lay down and die, even when they went down 4-0 in the second period. The game, at that point, looked to be heading towards a blowout, but a renewed commitment to defence propelled the Latvians and their immense throng of fans to within two of what looks to be a very strong Czech team. I will admit, I fell in love with Latvia at the 2008-09 World Ju...
