Introducing the #KraksOTChallenge
Posted on 23 May 2012 by Corey Krakower.
With all due respect to ESPN’s John Buccigross (@buccigross on twitter), I hate his playoff overtime challenge. Don’t get me wrong; I LOVE the idea, I just hate the fact that people get to predict 2 players (one from each team) who will score the overtime-game winner. A truly successful prediction would involve picking 1 player from the team that you feel will actually win the OT. Of course...

Bills Lead The Charge in Home Opener
Posted on 18 Sep 2011 by Norm Duhamel.
Ralph Wilson Stadium exploded with cheers as Ryan Fitzpatrick found David Nelson in the end zone with a mere 14 seconds left in the game to pull out 38-35 win against the Oakland Raiders! Buffalo dug themselves a huge hole in the first half falling 18 points behind the Raiders as the first half ran out. This game was by no means done. With 6 lead changes in the game, it appeared that the team ...

Boston Bruins Summer Playbook
Posted on 1 Jul 2011 by Jim Mulligan.
Over the years, I have argued that Bruins GM, Peter Chiarelli, has overpayed while paying for his team. I have written in this space that Andrew Ference, Tim Thomas, Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and Michael Ryder were all overpaid by at least $1M per player. Due to these overpayments, the Bruins were always up against the cap ceiling and could never get that Tomas Kaberle, puck moving defensem...

Carolina Hurricanes Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
The Carolina Hurricanes finished 2 pts out of a playoff spot in 2010-11, and are widely considered to be a team “on the rise”. They have a great mix of superstars, quality veterans and young talent, and players genuinely enjoy being part of the organization. That’s why so many pending UFAs sign there. The Hurricanes are set in goal for the next little while with Cam Ward, although they do...

HALL OF FAME ALIGNED WITH STARS
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Travis Currie.
Two integral parts of the Dallas Stars 1999 Stanley Cup Championship were enshrined into hockey's land of immortals today as they were two of four players inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. JOE NIEUWENDYK Bob Gainey had a vision for the Dallas Stars back in the mid 1990′s. He felt if some of the scoring pressure could be taken off of Mike Modano, the team would greatly benefit and so ...

Manu is my Hero
Posted on 23 May 2011 by Jon Lopez.
Manu Ginobili told an Argentina newspaper that he had a fracture in his arm during the playoff series against the Grizz. This is not me trying make excuses for the Spurs losing, this is me telling all of you what kind of heart this man has. Manu is the Ultimate Warrior in the NBA. Say what want about Kobe and the injuries he's played through. Kobe doesn't go all out like Manu. I've turned hardc...

Out with the Old…In with the New…
Posted on 19 May 2011 by Melissa Tzotzis.
They say time flies when you’re having fun. Perennial contenders have aged over night and have dropped like flies this NBA post season. First, the San Antonio Spurs, then on Mothers Day the Los Angeles Lakers and last week it was the Boston Celtics. It seems like the oldies are worked, last I heard Kobe and Shaq are going cane shopping together! When you no longer age like fine wine – you f...

A Good Problem to Have
Posted on 18 May 2011 by Matt Preston.
It seems the Wunderkid has arrived. With Patrice Bergeron on the shelf with a concussion, Bruins fans have finally gotten a taste of what they were clamoring for with every Bruins loss this postseason and every game the power play went scoreless: Tyler Seguin. After being scratched for the Bruins’ first 11 playoff games, Seguin was inserted into the lineup in place of Bergeron at the start of...

Nonsensical Hockey League – 3 Things That Make Me Go ?????
Posted on 16 May 2011 by Kirk Butler.
Well I do have to admit.. considering who is really in charge (Gary Bettman & Owners) it doesn't surprise me when with regular frequency a new rule or addendum the NHL approves make absolutely no sense to me. So as a result I have decided to start a new regular Blog called: Nonsensical Hockey League. The frequency with which this blog will be posted all depends on Bettman and others i...

Uh oh. Lakers are in trouble
Posted on 5 May 2011 by Donovan Williams.
Okay. I've said for a while to wait for me to say it is time to panic… WELL NOW IS THE TIME TO PANIC. Everyone except Kobe and Andrew Bynum seemed like they were playing a critical playoff game. Blake, Brown, Barnes, Artest and Fisher all looked out of sorts. And what to make of Pau? There has to be something physically wrong with him because he looks completely out of sorts. I am ALMO...

Bad change costs Caps
Posted on 2 May 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
Another tight game. A game the Washington Capitals had prepared for since mid-December, when coach Bruce Boudreau overhauled the Capitals style of play. The Caps limited the Tamp Bay Lightening to just 23 shots in over 66 minutes. Limiting shot attempts is the recipe for success within the Caps system. The Caps even rallied to score the game tying goal, late in the third. With Michal...

Surprise heroes, second round playoffs – thoughts, sights, sounds…
Posted on 29 Apr 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
Out of nowhere, comes two unlikely potential playoff heroes… Michal Neuvirth and Dwayne Roloson. Neuvirth, a seemingly steady and technically efficient goalie, is facing 29.6 shots/game. He can thank the Cap's shin pads for keeping that number under 30 shots/game. Roloson, an energetic and somewhat spastic net minder, has seen over 36 shots/game - but he has been equally as im...
