Steven Hindle: Poll: Who is the current Favorite to win the Norris? + Cup Fav Poll Results

11, Mar 2010

In case you missed the highlights from last night, CLICK HERE for my quick recap(including video) of the Caps 4-3 OT win.

Fan Voting

As you may have noticed, I have been going on a little bit of a poll kick as we near the playoffs. Considering we have completed over three quarters of the season now, I thought it would be best to start whittling down the key performers of the season and t…

Jesse Connolly: Hey Gary, Just Wondering…

11, Mar 2010

Dear Gary,

Before I begin, I just wanted to say that I really hope one of the many monkeys you’ve hired for this extravagant circus you’re running make it their top priority that you see this letter. I’d hate to see it get lost in the shuffle, or possibly wind up in that windowless room where you keep all intelligent voices of reason employed by the National Hockey League under lock and key….

Jesse Connolly: B’s Blow Three Leads, Fall to Leafs in OT

10, Mar 2010

On Tuesday night in Toronto, the Maple Leafs erased three one-goal leads held by the opposing Bruins. When the Leafs finally jumped ahead on the scoreboard for the first time, their lead was safer than any the B’s had held throughout the entirety of the affair. Why, you ask? Well, Nikolai Kulemin’s go-ahead goal came with 50 seconds left in the overtime period. They don’t call it sudden death for…

Jesse Connolly: Bruins Will Battle Leafs Without Chara

9, Mar 2010

Phil Kessel can go ahead and thank his lucky stars, as Bruins’ captain Zdeno Chara will miss his first game of this season tonight. The B’s blueliner is suffering from a lower-body injury, keeping him from suiting up against the Maple Leafs.

Chara, who currently has five goals, 30 assists and a +6 rating on the year, proved be the other “shoe to drop” after the Bruins announced the emergency r…

Jon Jordan: The Heart of the Lightning is Hart-Worthy

9, Mar 2010

The hot topic right now for the Tampa Bay Lightning might be Steven Stamkos, thanks to the hot hand that has him on pace for a 51-goal sophomore season.

The impact of Steve Downie as a well-rounded force, offensively, physically and otherwise, might be the surprise story of their season.

And a reinvigorated Vincent Lecavalier down the stretch, sparked by the under-the-radar arrival of Teddy…

Brad Ratgen: Last Chance for Petr Kalus? Wild Recall Former Boston Bruins Prospect.

9, Mar 2010

Petr Kalus, the often troubled, once highly touted prospect from the Boston Bruins organization whom the Wild obtained in the Manny Fernandez trade gets another chance with the Wild despite once quitting the organization and returning to Europe. Apparently, he is an emergency call up in case Cal Clutterbuck can’t go after sustaining a charlie horse in Sunday’s game against Calgary.

Here’s the…

Andy Strickland: Can Blues Continue Push? Pierre Crosses Line

8, Mar 2010

The million dollar question among fans and media alike is whether or not the Blues can find a way to slide into the playoffs. It won’t be long before we find out.

It’s pretty hard to pick apart the way the Blues have been playing as of late. Winners of five of their last six games the Blues have once again asserted themselves into becoming part of the playoff picture.

When talking to B…

Jesse Connolly: Cooke KO’s Savard, Bruins Fail to Respond

8, Mar 2010

There are times, especially in the great sport of hockey, when vengeance must be pushed to the back burner. For the Boston Bruins, Sunday’s tilt in Pittsburgh against the Penguins was not, in this writer’s humble opinion, one of those occasions. After a vicious elbow from Matt Cooke left Marc Savard, their star center, unconscious, the B’s proceeded to….

B) Pumme…

Tom Mast: Penguins Postgame: Boston

7, Mar 2010

Cooke Likely to Face Suspension for Hit

The Penguins’ 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Sunday was overshadowed by a scary scene in the third period. Pittsburgh winger Matt Cooke caught Boston’s Marc Savard with a hit to the head, knocking him out momentarily and leaving him lying nearly motionless on the ice. Savard was carried out on a stretcher.

“His motion is fine,” Bruins he…

Tom Mast: Penguins Game Day

Welcome to the Penguins’ game-day blog for Sunday’s game against the Boston Bruins. Check back here throughout the day for updates and recaps after each period. I invite you to join in the discussion in the comments section.

THIRD PERIOD RECAP

Evgeni Malkin put the Penguins on the board again with an early goal in the third. Alexei Ponikarovsky slid a pass over to Malkin and then drove the n…

Jon Jordan: A Must-Have

6, Mar 2010

So, the Jeff Vinik era as owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning got off to an 0-1 start with Thursday’s loss to Washington.

So what?

The Caps are, well, the Caps. And, though there was certainly some sloppiness, the Lightning hung tight in that game, battling back from several deficits and showing some real character throughout.

A timely save or two down the stretch would have aided the cau…

Jesse Connolly: Thornton Pleased to Chip in as Bruins Down Leafs for First Home Win in 2010

5, Mar 2010

It had been a long time coming for the Boston Bruins. After beginning the calendar year with an 0-6-3 record at the TD Garden, the B’s finally picked up a victory on home ice with a 3-2 shootout win over the disturbingly listless Toronto Maple Leafs.

Nine home tilts, two-plus months and a full 64 days had passed since the last time the Black and Gold came out on top in their own building. And…

Andy Strickland: Blues Turn Page On Plaushaj

3, Mar 2010

I think some fans are slightly shocked that the St. Louis Blues have so quickly moved on from a player who was so highly regarded just a few short months ago.

When you think about Aaron Palushaj, a former 2nd round pick out of Michigan, you think about a player the organization had categorized as a big part of the future moving forward.

I’ll never forget members of the management staff r…

Jesse Connolly: B’s Effort Uninspiring Both On and Off the Ice

3, Mar 2010

If only the National Hockey had 40 minute contests. That’s right. Shave off an entire period of play. The Boston Bruins, in this fresh new format, would be world-beaters. Unfortunately, no such drastic overhaul will ever take place, and the B’s will repeatedly come out on the losing end as they did in their 4-1 setback to the Habs on Tuesday.

It’s frustrating and downright puzzling. In their fi…

Andy Strickland: Ponikarovsky Down to 2-3 Teams

2, Mar 2010

To no surprise Toronto forward Alexei Ponikarovsky has been told he will be moved. Sources close to the Maple Leaf tell me it’s down to 2 or three teams and the deal is likely to do down sometime in the morning. There are a few deals on the table and word is Brian Burke is in the process of deciding which way he wants to go. One team is believed to be the Los Angeles Kings.

Sources close to the Maple Leaf tell me it’s down to 2 teams and the deal is likely to do down sometime in the morning. There are a few deals on the table and word is Brian Burke is in the process of deciding which way he wants to go. Bob McKenzie is reporting a deal with Pittsburgh is in place.
