Many people still question weather or not the Penguins should or shouldn’t have a captain on the team. Currently wearing the letter A on their jerseys are Sidney Crosby, Sergei Gonchar and Mark Recchi. Right at this very moment, if given a chance to do so, many people would say and want Sidney Crosby to […]

Sounds like a bad accident on an icy road right? Wrong! Just an accidental collision at MSG yesterday between Mike Knuble and Brendan Shanahan. The best way to describe this was a case where they really didn’t see each other coming. That is a rarity for a big hockey hit. Usually one player has their […]

Saturday the Thrashers lost yet again, to the Ottawa Senators in a 5-3 battle four straight games have been lost by the Thrashers, and on Tuesday they will play a very important game against Carolina.

The Devils go into tonight’s game against the Penguins with one very simple thing in mind….don’t get caught!! The Devils at 35-16-6 are seven points ahead but the Penguins have one game in hand. With 3 more meetings, even after tonight’s game…..every game is crucial because the Devils are also chasing the Sabres. The Devils […]

By Eric Greenwalt … yeah, i know; “Great trade. Inevitable. He was going anyway…”I know… This “denial” thing of mine just came up to kick my ass. No more Peter Forsberg in Orange & Black. My 3rd favorite Hockey player ever (1 & 2? Tocchet & Primeau) is no longer playing for my favorite team. […]

There have been many amazing duos out there. It’s just not everyday that two identical twins end up on the same line for the same team in a professional sports league. Oh yeah, they’re pretty good too. Finally obtaining NHL Center Ice, I was able to watch our beloved Canucks all the way from South […]

Sitting back in my chair comfortably watching another nice Sunny day unfold, I think back to my East Coast friends who battle either ice, snow or both this morning. My brother, who has the day off of work, called to let me know that the Yotes are going to sign Shane Doan to a new […]

It’s that time of year again. The trade deadline is exactly two weeks away, and I don’t know about everyone else but personally I’m glued to sports radio and nhl.com waiting to find out what kind of deals will go down this year. And what fun is trade deadline time if lowly fans such as […]

Don’t you feel tired of the 5697486 places that Peter Forsberg is or isn’t going to? I sure don’t….that is a given.
