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…

John Jaeckel: Something To Build On?

11, Mar 2010

Last night’s game versus the Kings at the UC followed a familiar pattern for the Blackhawks: a dominant first period, a weak second and a suspenseful third. And, true to recent form, there were defensive lapses and a couple of weak goals allowed— this time by Antti Niemi.

In the end, the Hawks won the contest in OT, on a gorgeous move and finish by Patrick Sharp (this is a highlight worth cat…

Matthew Barry: A Point is a Point – Kings fall to Hawks in OT 3-2

11, Mar 2010

So, Richie whiffed in OT giving Sharp a breakaway and the game winner.

At least the Kings grabbed a point.

Big deal that Flyers fans are laughing that the Kings are actually paying Denis Gauthier… I mean, Randy Jones to play defense.

At least the Kings are still in 5th place.

So what if Wayne Simmonds took several stupid penalties.

My playoff tickets should be arriving soon.

MORNING UPDATE:
Jonathan Bernier has been recalled – Jon Quick’s wife is about to deliver their first child so Jon flew back to L.A. – Hammond reports that its up in the air who gets the start in Dallas tomorrow

So, Richie whiffed in OT giving Sharp a breakaway and the game winner.

At least the Kings grabbed a point.

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…

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…

Kat Kealy: Canadiens Swept Through Southern California

8, Mar 2010

The Canadiens are making a push for the playoffs at the right time and have moved from 10th to 7th in the eastern conference in just two short days. Clearly, this means that Montreal can drop just as quickly. The scary thing for the Canadiens right now is that the teams immediately following them in the standings all have at least a game in hand (most have three), since the Habs have played more…

Matthew Barry: Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures – Habs 4 Kings 2

7, Mar 2010

The Rangers Lost – Atlanta Lost – That meant with a Habs win, they could have 8th place all to themselves while distancing themselves from their rivals.

They did just that.

Packed with Montreal fans, the Kings played their first home game since February 13th and disappointed their fans in front of a sellout crowd.

The Habs came out smoking from the opening faceoff and just 22 seconds in…

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…

Matthew Barry: Can The Kings Avoid Annual Choke-A-Thon?

6, Mar 2010

March comes in like a lion, but for the Kings its gone out like an arctic lemming.

Granted, the Kings haven’t been to the playoffs since Gary Coleman was still famous making it 8 years since the Kings had a winning record in March/April. Twice they were in the playoffs at February’s end, and missed.

Don’t get me wrong, the Kings would have to choke harder than a Randy Couture sleeper hol…

Brandon Felder: Preds Stifle Kings In A 4-2 Win

4, Mar 2010

The Preds put away one of the hottest teams in the NHL and in doing so also extended a win streak against the Los Angeles Kings to six games. The 4-2 win in front of 15,653 at the Bridgestone Arena was a solid defensive effort against a high quality scoring team.

Felder’s FANTASTIC Five:

1. Taking Advantage Of Mistakes – That was the real key to me. The Preds did take advantage of some…

Matthew Barry: Nashville Has Kings Number With 4-2 Win

4, Mar 2010

Some teams just have your number.

The Kings were 0-4-1 vs Nashville but the Kings were coming off a solid win in Dallas.

54 seconds into the game, Alexander Frolov was left all alone in front of the net and scored his 2nd goal in as many games and things were looking good.

One thing Jonathan Quick should never do: Handle the puck behind the net.

It hasn’t been his strong suit for mo…

Paul McCann: Post-deadline Game Night!

4, Mar 2010

The trade deadline has come and gone, things in Nashville had a lot of smoke, but no fire as the two names mentioned most remain with the team.

I’ll say it now… this year’s Nashville Predators are a better team with Dan Hamhuis and Dan Ellis on it. Both are consummate team players that will do what it takes to make this team successful. Will the Predators lose these two players come Jul…

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…

Matthew Barry: Doughty, Frolov 3 Points Each as Kings Rope Stars 5-1

2, Mar 2010

Dallas had won 7 of last 8 at home, the Kings had won 7 of 8 on the road.

But Terry Murray had his Kings in better shape than Marc Crawford did the Stars over the Olympic break and the Kings picked up where they left off with a 5-1 victory at American Airlines Arena. Coupled with the Phoenix loss, the Kings jump into 4th place with 2 games in hand.

The first period saw the Kings Olympian Mi…
