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…

Shaune Vetter: Come-Backs and Win-Streaks and Goals, OH MY.

10, Mar 2010

It was looked on as a very important game. A chance to take the eighth and final play-off spot back (for the time being) against a team that most feel will still make the post-season in the Detroit Red Wings. Now that they’re healthy the Wings have become a formidable team, and they are still looked at as a team that could do some post-season damage.

As for the Flames, they had a chance to catc…

Who is Your Cup Favorite?

With approximately 15 games remaining in the NHL’s regular season, there doesn’t seem to be a better time than right now to find out who YOU think has the best chance of winning the Stanley Cup?

Here is a set of 3 polls, based on the 3 brackets of current contenders(based on current point standings and pre-season odds):

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…

Shaune Vetter: We’ve Struck Goals… GOALS!!!

8, Mar 2010

10 goals in two games. The last time the Flames scored at least 5 goals in consecutive games was in October. the 20th and 24th respectively when they won 6-3 against the Blue Jackets and then 5-2 against the Oilers at home to complete their first ten games with a 7-2-1 record.

Eklund: So Who Didn’t Get Better? (on the Flames and Flyers)

6, Mar 2010

“The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning…

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…

Shaune Vetter: What’s Up Sutter’s Sleve?

2, Mar 2010

It’s funny how the game is played. Darryl says that he’s happy with the team as it stands and he wants to give them a chance to prove they’re as good as he thought they would be when he assembled them, then everyone is convinced that he’s going to stand pat, then everyone acts surprised when he goes out and makes some moves. To be honest, it’s almost a tradition.

The fact is, regardless of what…

Eric Smith: Will The GM Olympics Be As Exciting?

1, Mar 2010

As the trade deadline quickly approaches, anticipation of possible trades heat up and rumors swirl on every internet site that even remotely covers hockey. Now the question is will the trade deadline live up to the hype like the Winter Olympics did? I doubt it as the big boys have already been traded and there are few big names that will be changing addresses.

Since I cover the Blue Jacket…

Jon Jordan: JJ’s Mailbag: Pre-Trade Deadline Edition/Tuesday Vs. Preview/BoltsBuzz News

1, Mar 2010

Before I open up the mailbag for the first time in a long time, I’ll answer a question that I’ve received from a handful of people in the last couple of days:

“Where did BoltsBuzz Radio go so quickly?”

The answer is simple. Nowhere. We scheduled to take Monday the 22nd off, figuring most listeners would be in Olympic mode, most potential guests scattered about and hard to reach and,…

Jon Jordan: Lightning Coaching Shakeup Makes Little Sense: Trouble Brewing for Tocchet?

25, Feb 2010

There’s really only one certainty we can take out of the coaching changes made yesterday by the Tampa Bay Lightning.

OK Hockey – dubbed a circus by so many – may be out as an ownership group but, clearly, the show must go on.

What about replacing assistant coach Wes Walz with Norfolk head coach Jim Johnson makes sense at this point in the season, at any level?

With 21 games left fo…

Jon Jordan: No Show Tonight/Versus Olympic Coverage/JJ’s Mailbag

22, Feb 2010

Due to the Olympic break, as well as other factors which may alter our weekly schedule a bit moving forward, there will be no BoltsBuzz Radio broadcast this evening.

If you’re wondering where I’ve been during the Olympic hiatus, I’ve been covering “The Forgotten Five” for Versus.com.

With Belarus taking on Switzerland in the first of tomorrow’s qualifying matches, my coverage there will ext…

Mike Augello: TEAM USA’S LINK TO CANADA’S TEAM, GUSTAVSSON STARTS FOR SWEDEN

19, Feb 2010

The result of last night’s Canada-Switzerland game has just increased the anticipation for Sunday’s Canada-US game even more. How will the Americans youth and inexperience combat the firepower that Team Canada possesses. How can certain players on Team Canada, whose ability to come through in the clutch, do when the pressure is stepped up.

These questions and more will be asked from now until…

Jesse Connolly: Krejci, Czechs Square Off with Chara, Slovaks | Lay Off the Bergy Hate!

17, Feb 2010

For all of you night owls here on the East Coast, tonight’s midnight tilt between the Czech Republic and Slovakia should be a treat for hockey fans, especially those of the Boston Bruins. Three members of the B’s will take part in the matchup between the two rival nations on day two of the men’s ice hockey tournament.

With center David Krejci set to slot in as one of the top two pivots for the…
