from Kevin Weekes of CBC,
As a league we’ve evolved from the days where breaking an opponent’s leg with a slash to beat their team was the norm. But in today’s game, we still face the challenge of blind-side hits. The mentality of that type of hockey is simply antiquated. It’s time for clear definition [...]

The only person who seems to understand Colin Campbell’s pattern of punishment is Campbell himself. The suspensions he hands down are arbitrary and erratic—swayed by non-evidence, hunch, gut feelings, anecdotes and back-channel influence peddlers—and they are almost never clearly explained. He establishes precedent and contradicts it. He makes exceptions based on flawed premises and then [...]

You had a feeling it was coming.
Ryan Miller played fantastically all through the Olympics and pretty well in the Sabres' last few games in the NHL. He had to have a bad one sooner or later.
Luckily Ryan Miller's "bad one" amounted to one bad period. After giving up three goals (and two leads) in the [...]

First, what a great hockey game.
Even if Canes fans do not get real playoff hockey this April, the team has at least played its way close enough that we can have fun pretending for a few weeks. And lately that has been fun and mostly successful. The team continues to play good hockey.
For [...]

The Stars go down 5-3 tonight in Buffalo, but at least it was an entertaining match. Ryan Miller looked tired, and ideally Dallas should have taken two points out of HSBC arena tonight. However, much like I said after Pittsburgh, tonight's game is the type where a good team at least pulls a point out.
Tonight, [...]

Heading into Wednesday night’s action, the Philadelphia Flyers sit in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings. The odds of the Flyers catching the Pittsburgh Penguins for first place in the Atlantic Division, which would give the team home ice advantage throughout the playoffs, are slim to none and slim just left the building.
The good [...]

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
Mark it down: March 10, 2010.
It was on this day that the National Hockey League took its foot off the macho gas pedal of all-out combat, and told its players that it’s OK to tap on the brakes once in a while, when a hit starts looking like it might [...]

With 17 games remaining, the San Jose Sharks currently hold down the top spot in the Western Conference.
After compiling a 42-14-9 record up until this point in the season, San Jose holds a slim two point lead over the second place Chicago Blackhawks and with 93 points the Sharks are nearly a lock to finish [...]

via the CP at TSN,
Sidney Crosby’s missing stick and glove have been found.
Hockey Canada says Crosby’s missing Olympic equipment were misplaced rather than stolen.
Crosby’s stick was accidentally placed in a shipment bound for the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame in St. Petersburg, Russia, that ended up getting intercepted in Toronto.
And one of [...]

This year’s Red Wings team seems content to wallow in mediocrity. They are afraid to get the job done. Like a horny teenager afraid to escalate with a girl he likes in fear of rejection or poor performance, our team seems content to let whiskey dick prevail. The team knows they are not good enough [...]

The Canucks this year is a study of a team with a multiple personality disorder. It has a first period where they suffer from confusion, lack of urgency; forgetful of responsibilities, carefree, lackadaisical and memory loss.
In the second period they are more conscious of their surroundings, responsible, attentive to details; play with meaning, coherent, and [...]

The worst has been confirmed, Robbie Schremp is out for the rest of the season with a meniscus tear that will require surgery. Of course I had been asking about this since 11:30 am, but I guess these things take time to decide. He will have more time now to decorate that apartment [...]

In explaining his decision on not suspending Matt Cooke, NHL senior vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said that the ruling was based on consistency involving similar incidents. Philadelphia's Mike Richards was not suspended for a similar hit on Florida's David Booth last October, so using that as precedent, Cooke was not suspended either.
