Well this has been yet again another disappointing season so far for the Jackets. The Jackets are currently 21 points out of the playoffs. Hear this first right now I believe that the Jackets will make the playoffs in 07-08. Here is why The Play of Fredrik Norrena, even though Pascal Leclaire is the starter […]

Based on all the suspensions this year….it’s a bit excessive considering a couple knee on knee incidents where players were out for weeks…and nothing was done. If this happened to anyone other than a Leaf…do you think action would have come down this fast??? I do not think so. Colin Campbell was not objective here….was […]

THANKS TO TRENDONITE from MVN for this gem. Living in the New York metropolitan area as a New York Mets fan is tough. For the past twenty five years, I dealt with the Mets playing the role of the Little Engine That Could to the Bronx Bombers. In turn, I’ve grown up with a hatred […]

February 27, 2007 started as a day filled with uncertainty for the Islanders. Would they or wouldn’t they? Jason Blake, coming or going? No doubt GM Garth Snow was looking to make a splash on deadline day to improve the Isles playoff positioning. What he did instead was drop a cannonball in the water. When […]

A little late in coming… Devils Not something to tell your grandkids about. A half a mill salary dump and a two round draft climb. Meh. Islanders With all the moves made earlier in the season, we should have expected big things to happen on the Island, but we did not. Three very meaningful pieces […]

Due to computer problems I have been unable to post lately, and there has been a lot going on when it comes to Thrashers hockey. So bare with me here, as we catch up to the news. Thrashers get Keith Tkachuk & Alexei ZhitnikZhitnik a defensman from the Philidelphia Flyers was picked up in exchange […]

All the trades and all that good stuff. Ducks acquire D Joe RullierTampa gets D Doug O’Brien Analysis: Just a swap of D-men really….nothing more. Los Angeles acquires D Jamie HewardWashington gets conditional draft pick Analysis: The vet Heward will provide depth and experience on the Kings backline. Pittsburgh acquires G Nolan SchaeferSan Jose gets […]

That is the question. The rumor mongers and bloggers are out in full force. It’s one of the most wonderful times of the hockey year – trade deadline day. You all know the names, you all know the buyers, but some of the sellers are still unclear. Where do the Isles fall into this?GM Garth […]

Monday….February 26th….. As I type this (prayfully no other trades happen today)…it has been a very interesting day today on the trade front. No major blockbusters like I kind of expected…but that doesn’t mean one won’t happen tomorrow. The NHL Arena will be on it with full coverage up to the deadline with a wrap […]

I’ve been thinking lately about former Canucks players… More specifically I’ve been thinking about the success they have had with their new clubs, or rather lack thereof. From what I can tell, there are 14 guys who were on the Canucks roster in the 2005-06 season who did not return this year. I was checking […]

Thursday nights brawl between Ottawa and Buffalo further illustrates the games image issue in the United States. In a rare occurrence the NHL managed to get some coverage on ESPN, but it is only for a full-scale brawl between two teams. While personally I don’t have a real problem with fighting in the game, it […]

Left for dead only a short while ago, the inconsistent Bruins find themselves on another streak that has the fans thinking playoffs again. Boston has bagged six points in their last three games, 10 in the last six and a solid 14 points in their last nine contests. Despite the excitement the recent run has […]

With Montreal calling up Duncan Milroy, Andrei Kostitsyn, Jaroslav Halak within the past week. Lets hope that its a sign that they are going those more of a youth movement with Montreal. Gainey said he hasn’t decided whether to swing a deal leading up to the NHL trade deadline Tuesday or stick with the current […]

In the wisdom of Gary Bettman and seeing your division rival eight times a year….tonight is the final battle between the Devils and Rangers and I am sorry to say this but…WTF????? It is February 22nd, and we have already played the Rangers all we are going to play them this season? I feel cheated […]

A score above the double digits could come from many sports. Easily from football, always from basketball, and not rarely from baseball. However, if it came from hockey one would do more than a double take. Hockey installed numerous new rules when it came back from the lockout, all aimed at increasing scoring. One thing […]
