Dirty Bird Blog: The Fog Has Lifted
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Clifford Pine.
“Relax, chill out. We've got lots of time. We're not winning the Stanley Cup in the first exhibition game. It's just the way it panned out. That's why we have these games, to work things out. Not only myself, but the team. And not just our team, every team.” – Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price after losing 4-2 in his first pre-season game of the 2010-11 season. With ap...

2011 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Breakdown
Posted on 5 Jun 2011 by Mike Crocetto.
The defensive unit for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was one to be feared for over a decade. With players such as John Lynch, Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, and Simeon Rice giving offensive coordinators many sleepless nights, our recent defense has been more like NyQuil than anything. With the past two drafts it is obvious that we are trying to go back to our old ways. DL- Last year we added two Defen...

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. ...

5 reasons why Montreal can beat Boston
Posted on 13 Apr 2011 by Corey Krakower.
“The game of hockey isn’t played on paper; it’s played on ice.” It feels kind of strange quoting myself, but that was my message to the underdog team that I coached this year before game 1 of a best of 3 final versus the league powerhouse. This message also perfectly describes Montreal’s playoff run last year, and could apply this year as well. Boston is better than Montreal, on paper...

5 Days…What’s the Jackets Buzz?
Posted on 23 Feb 2011 by Jason Wagensveld.
The Jackets start the night 2 points out of a playoff spot but will finish the night 4 points behind either the Kings or the Ducks. The Jackets are becoming hesitant buyers. They are staying with the pack in the Western Conference but have a lot of hurdles to leap before they have secured a playoff spot. Jacket Buzz There is reason to believe that the Jackets GM Scott Howson has made a ca...

STARS SALE IN THE WORKS ?
Posted on 16 Feb 2011 by Travis Currie.
According to sources, there's a group interested in buying the Stars and it is believed that all parties involved, including the NHL, have agreed on a price for the team. It's looked positive before, only to have things go south. So don't consider this a done deal just yet but it is a positive sign. A deal at least in place before the trade deadline won't mean the Stars can go on a shopping spr...

UPDATE 3/10/2011—– UPDATE 3/10/2011 Michael Young's unhappiness and desire to be traded has been public for several weeks.

Atlanta Spirit show true colors
Posted on 26 Jan 2011 by John Morgo.
As I write this, the Hawks hold a 56-54 lead over the Bucks halfway through the third quarter. The good news is Al and Marvin Williams are back in the lineup after their respective injuries. Al has 8 points and Marvin has only three, while Milwaukee's Corey Maggette leads all scorers with 21. Josh Smith has 12. The big rumor is the Hawks have asked Denver about Carmelo Anthony. It won't happen....

Looking Forward
Posted on 14 Dec 2010 by Jeff Burke.
There is still a lot to be excited about in Friar town! The Padres have moved forward without many of the pieces that helped the team reach the highs of 2010. Now it falls to the players that have been brought in, and those to come, to keep up the competitive spirit that was so much fun to watch last season. The puzzle pieces are still intact. With Buddy Black and Darren Balsley, t...

Kovalev back to Montreal would be a perfect fit
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Corey Krakower.
With Andrei Markov out for the rest of the year; the Montreal Canadiens have an additional $5.75 million to spend this season. A few weeks ago, I would have said that he smart thing to do would be to look to acquire a defenseman; someone like Kevin Bieksa or Ed Jovanovski. The problem with that plan is that Montreal’s defense has been rock solid as of late. So if you’re not going to add a d...

Shut Out by the Habs
Posted on 24 Oct 2010 by Mika Oehling.
The Ottawa Senators 3-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens last night was disappointing to say the least. Fresh off a stellar night against the Buffalo Sabres, it was thought that the momentum that was gained off that win would transfer over into the following night; no such luck. The Senators were shut down by the Habs, who played as a solid team with great defensive moves. As with past games, the...
