Queue the “he’s only whining because the Penguins lost” tape (not that I agree with that). From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Rob Rossi:
Reckless and disgraceful; no better words describe the NHL and NBC’s decision to have the Penguins and Washington Capitals play Sunday at Verizon Center.
From my dialogue over the weekend with folks at the NHL [...]

from Ken Campbell of The Hockey News,
The Capitals like to tell people they’ve tightened up defensively and coach Bruce Boudreau will vociferously defend his defenders, saying his team doesn’t get enough props for how good it is defensively. Nice words, but we’re not buying it. The Capitals win games by sheer tour de force, [...]

As soon as the words "important announcement regarding the Club's management" were read on the media advisory sent out Monday morning by the Montreal Canadiens, the immediate thoughts were that Bob Gainey would be out as the team's general manager. During a news conference this afternoon, Gainey made it official that he would be stepping down [...]

After letting another lead slip through their fingers, this time allowing four unanswered goals by the Masshole’s Kings, the Red Wings should be embarrassed by their performance Saturday afternoon.
Typically, we’d be hearing Ozzie sound off that he felt good, but didn’t get all the bounces or luck to win the game. Deflect, deflect, deflect.
This season [...]

P.K. Subban is without a doubt one of the most well-known Habs prospects since Carey Price. While Subban has shown that he can be a dominant player, like Price, we have yet to really see what he can do in the NHL. Like many highly touted prospects, there are a lot of questions about Subban's [...]

There are two words in the world of sports that give general managers Agita, while agents and players lick their lips: contract year.
Ironically, more times than not, those two words go hand in hand with another word pairing...career year.
Isn't it funny how players, not only in hockey, but in all sports, have these fascinating seasons [...]

The Blues are looking to shop D-man Carlo Colaiacovo who will be a unrestricted free Agent on July First.
Sources say GM Larry Pleau has notified every NHL GM that Colaiacovo is available via trade.
Actions often speak louder than words and with Colaiacovo's role somewhat reduced as of late it shouldn't come as a [...]

According to Joel Quenneville after practice on Monday, Antti Niemi will get another shot at starting consecutive games when the Blackhawks host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
This, of course, opens the door for more chatter about the Blackhawks having a goalie controversy on their hands. Cristobal Huet was in net for all three losses in [...]

In late November, I picked Brad Richards of the Dallas Stars as the Lady Byng leader. He has been surpassed in quality of play by a better Lady Byng candidate. Martin St Louis of the Tampa Bay Lightning has the same point total (63) as Richards, but plays a better defensive game. This is [...]
