Jesse Connolly: Is Matt Cooke Going to Pay Tonight?

18, Mar 2010

March 18th has arrived. The rematch is here. Revenge, a thought prevalent on the minds of every Bruins’ fan since the second Matt Cooke virtually assassinated the rest of Marc Savard’s season, can finally be had. But, with just two hours until the puck drops, the big question remains:

Will it?

NHL Disciplinarian Colin Campbell will be keeping a watchful eye, as the former New York Rangers’ H…

Andy Strickland: Armstrong’s Big Decision/THis Summers “Monster”?

18, Mar 2010

Ty Conklin gets back between the pipes for the Blues tonight in New York after consecutive sub par performances by Chris Mason. It didn’t help Mason that the Blues sat on their backsides close to the entire first period vs. Colorado but I think it’s safe to say Mason would admit he could have played better.

I realize Mason’s career numbers against Colorado are pretty impressive, but this…

Kamal Panesar: Montreal-New York: Habs Extend Streak to Six in 3-1 Win over Rangers

17, Mar 2010

Bombs over Broadway. That’s what must certainly be going on in New York this morning. If not this morning, then for sure after last night’s 3-1 win by the Habs over the Rangers in New York.

The bombs that were likely going off were of the “F” variety, coming out of Coach John Tortorella’s mouth as he could not have enjoyed the way his team played.

While full marks should be given to the Ha…

Jon Jordan: Thoughts for a Tuesday

16, Mar 2010

Last you heard from me, I was in a limerick sort of mood, inspired by St. Patty’s Day and the Lightning’s own Facebook contest which, apparently, I did not win. (To that I say, “Fiddlesticks!” And to any mid-week St. Pat’s, by the way, a double “Fiddlesticks!” as well.)

I’ll return to prose today, in an effort to sort out my jumbled thoughts on this and that.

—We’ll start…

Jan Levine: Avery Leads the Way, Thoughts on Ovie suspension, Montreal Comes In

16, Mar 2010

So the Rangers finally did a good job of preventing a team from breaking out of their zone and clogged up the neutral zone, resulting in surprise, surprise a win. The victory over Philly can and has been attributed to better effort by the Rangers, keeping to the structure and discipline concept they mentioned prior to the game against Philly. However, in my view, what I said in my first sentence w…

Kamal Panesar: Habs @ Rangers, 2 Games for Ovechkin? NHL discipline/lack thereof. Videos.

16, Mar 2010

Ok, let me get this straight:

1. Mike Richards blindsides David Booth resulting in a severe concussion and gets no suspension.

2. Matt Cooke, a repeat offender, blindsides Marc Savard resulting in a severe concussion, and gets no suspension.

3. Maxim Lapierre pushes Scott Nichol from behind, five feet away from the boards, who is uninjured. Lapierre gets a 4-game suspension.

4….

Andy Strickland: Who’s Better, Weaver or Pronger?

15, Mar 2010

There has been a lot of discussion in recent weeks about the Blues success killing penalties. A lot factors come into play here. To me a lot of comes down to how prepared the Blues are in terms of their understanding of the opponents tendencies on the power play. This is where Assistant Coach Brad Shaw comes into play. This guy has done an admirable job coaching up the Blues PK unit since joining…

Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 3-14-10 vs NYR

14, Mar 2010

PREVIEW (11 AM)

Coming off one of their most dramatic regular season victories in recent memory, the Flyers need to carry over the momentum of yesterday’s win over the Blackhawks. A victory in today’s divisional game today with the New York Rangers would further solidify the Flyers’ playoff positioning. Landing the sixth seed and drawing either Ottawa or Buffalo is a preferable scenario to fini…

Jesse Connolly: Bergeron, Linemates Stepping It Up in Savard’s Absence

12, Mar 2010

With Marc Savard recently deemed to be likely done for the year, fresh off of a visit to a neurologist to have his concussion examined, the Bruins know they’re in desperate need of someone to supplant the star center’s missing offense. Then again, the B’s have been in dire need of anyone to consistently score goals since the 2009-10 season began.

During their first extended stretch without #91…

Andy Strickland: Blues Negotiating with Former First Rounder

12, Mar 2010

The St. Louis Blues are in the midst of negotiating a contract with former first round pick and Notre Dame standout Ian Cole.

Concussion problems limited Cole to just 30 games played this season but word is the sturdy D-man has checked out ok and is not suffering any lingering effects.

Even though Cole is a smart kid and academics remain a priority for he and his family, sources close to…

Jon Jordan: Lightning Limericks

12, Mar 2010

Since we’re a step closer to the official death of the 2009-10 Tampa Bay Lightning after last night’s overtime loss in Toronto left them six points out of the playoff picture with 16 games left to play, I thought I’d forgo anything serious today, in an effort to lighten the mood a bit.

Through their official Facebook page, the Lightning are promoting a limerick contest and offering ticket…

Roger Mussa: Big game against cross river rivals

10, Mar 2010

Tonight’s game against the Rangers takes on a much bigger magnitude. The slumping Devils face their rivals and they need to get back on track – soon.

Patrik Elias back at center in between Ilya Kovalchuk and Jamie Langenbrunner. Should be interesting but I really think Elias can be a difference maker. He is unselfish enough to generate enough chances for Kovalchuk and that needs to happen no…

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…

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…

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…
