New York Islanders Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Garth Snow is in a pickle. The New York Islanders' general manager has $27.534 million to spend come July 1 and a crop of promising, young talent on which to build around but he's missing the buzz. Empty seats, a run down enviorment, poor statistics and win record don't help entice players to call Nassau Coliseum home. (i.e. Christian Ehrhoff: FAIL; Evgeni Nabokov: FAIL) A second showing of M...

Tampa Bay Lightning Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
The Tampa Bay Lightning were one of the huge surprises in 2010-11 after a disappointing season the year before. A new owner, GM and coach brought the team all the way to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, where they lost out to the Boston Bruins. The Lightning enter the offseason looking to build on that success, but it certainly won’t be easy. Midseason acquisition Dwayne Roloson was r...

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...

Dirty Bird Blog: Let The Games Begin!
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Clifford Pine.
For me, there are three sure-fire signs that summer has arrived; the smell of meat grilling on the BBQ, the ladies walking about wearing bikini tops with short skirts & best of all, the deafening roar of the crowd as the Montreal Alouettes fly out of the tunnel to start the new CFL football season. For the first time in a long time, the Alouettes kick off the season at home. The B.C...

Buffalo Sabres Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by George Kouvalis.
The ink may still be wet on the legal documents that Terry Pegula signed to take over the Buffalo Sabres, but one thing is for certain, he wants to put his stamp on his team and fast. Pegula is determined to bring a Stanley Cup to Buffalo and will spend away to make it happen if he has to. He has said he wants to win a cup with his core three of Ryan Miller, Tyler Myers and Thomas Vanek, ri...

And the Off-Season Games Begin
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Matt Preston.
The parade is over. The confetti’s been swept up. The last few drops of $100K champagne downed. The lockers have been cleared. All the hardware has been handed out. The faithful of the Back-and-Gold will always have their memories of the Boston Bruins’ historic Stanley Cup run this Spring, but they are now just that: Memories. It has been two weeks since Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canuck...

McCann for MVP
Posted on 29 Jun 2011 by Marcus Young.
As Derek Lowe and the Braves try to polish off a sweep of King Felix and the Mariners (up 5-3 in the top of the 9th), one thing has become crystal clear to me during this interleague series: Brian McCann will not only start his first All-Star Game this season, but he's also a bonafide NL MVP candidate. He was the only offense for the Braves in Game 1 for the first 6 innings, keeping Brandon B...

MLB TRADE TALK – WHO GOES? WHO STAYS? WHO PAYS?
Posted on 29 Jun 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Most of the time in life what matters is what one does, not what you say you will do. Baseball General Managers have the rare aspect of their job description in that other people (the media and fans) spend a lot of time focused on what we think they should do. Every writer, analyst and fan has their own opinion regarding what their team should do before the vaunted non-waiver trading deadline. ...

New York Rangers Summer Playbook
Posted on 29 Jun 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Rangers' General Manager Glen Sather is like a kid in a candy store each July when free agents hit the market. He's got a knack for putting his faith [and checkbook] in the wrong name brands though and instead brought bubblegum busts to Broadway at overinflated expense. Wade Redden, Scott Gomez and Chris Drury are just a mere sampling. The Rangers have roughly $22 million to dish out for sal...

St. Louis Blues Summer Playbook
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
The St. Louis Blues 2010-11 season was one to forget, especially given the number of unfortunate injuries. The Blues continue to be on the rise because of strong drafting and cultivation of their young players. This offseason will be relatively uneventful for Blues fans, as the team will likely focus on re-signing their own players. Jaroslav Halak had a decent first season in St. Louis, but he ...

Minnesota Wild Summer Playbook
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
The Minnesota Wild had a disappointing season in 2010-11, which ultimately forced the organization to come to terms with the need for a rebuild. Too many of their players are past their prime and injury prone; and so its time to spend a few years getting younger and better. Franchise goaltender Niklas Backstrom is back, and while there are some good prospects in the system, it is likely they wi...

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 ...
