Jesse Connolly: Rask, Bruins Head Home After 5-2 Win Over Hurricanes

16, Mar 2010

After a grueling, seven-game road trip over the span of just 11 days, the Boston Bruins are heading home on a positive note. The B’s, propelled by a 30-save effort from netminder Tuukka Rask and three third-period goals, defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2 on Tuesday night. With the win, the Bruins evened up their record at 3-3-1 on the road swing.

Patrice Bergeron opened the scoring just 23…

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…

Ovechkin Gets 5 + Game Misconduct

Pop quiz hot shot, was Alex’s hit as bad as Maxim Lapierre’s hit on Scott Nichol…or as bad as Matt Cooke’s hit on Marc Savard, etc, etc?

Let’s have a look:

Lapierre Boards Nichol

Cooke Destroys Savard

How do these hits all compare?

This is now THE HOT-BUTTON ISSUE in the NHL and with so many people worried about the safety of th…

Steven Hindle: Caps @ Hawks | A Preview of the Stanley Cup Finals? + BEST LINE POLL

14, Mar 2010

See you in June?

A lot has been made of both of these teams throughout this long and arduous regular season, but, with less than a month left to play, we are finally going to get a look at how these two teams stack up against one another.

The Blackhawks are the youthful mirror of the Capitals. They have become the new kids on the block in the Western Conference and have such a young, t…

Duncan Keith, Clear Cut Favorite to Win Norris

In continuing with our series of fan polls as we close out the NHL’s regular season, it is clear to see that, among Hockeybuzz readers, Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks is the run-away favorite to win the Norris Trophy.

Although I split the Norris poll into two categories, most of you agreed that the top 3 candidates were clearly ahead o…

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…

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

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…

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…

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…

Hop in and out all day for trade deadline discussion, general puck chat, questions, comments and, with any luck, some breaking news from JJ …

Brian Metzer: Pens Notch 150th Consecutive Sellout… Live at Mellon Arena…

2, Mar 2010

The Penguins unveiled a new opening montage this evening featuring the song “New Moon Rising” by Wolfmother. It was a welcome change…not the the old one was bad — just getting a bit stagnant. That montage led right into a ceremony honoring the Olympians who are involved in this game tonight.

There are ten players and a coach in the building who played and or coached in the games, including m…

Join me at your leisure on deadline day here.

I’ll be in and out throughout the day, passing along whatever word I get on any potential or actual Lightning moves and my usual snide commentary on whatever else is going on tomorrow.

We’ll have plenty to discuss, I’m sure.

Stay tuned.

Brian Metzer: Leopold, Penguins Excited to Come Together…

2, Mar 2010

It hadn’t been a secret that the Penguins wanted to bolster their blue line. Though they tried to patch it up after losing Hal Gill and Rob Scuderi this off-season by bringing in guys like Jay McKee, it just wasn’t performing at the level they had hoped. They were allowing too many goals, allowing too many leads to slip away and not closing out opponents as they had done in the past.

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,…

John Jaeckel: A Pause To Reflect

1, Mar 2010

A brief trade note before I get into some kudos for various Olympians, including Ryan Miller.

I’ve been getting more than a few tweets and emails over the last 24 hours about any potential trade rumors that might be floating out there.

In that regard, I don’t envy Eklund.

Not that I don’t love discoursing with a lot of you (I do love talking to all of you, and I think you know it). But c…

HockeyBuzz Wire: Final Standings and Tournament Statistical Leaders for the 2010 Olympics

1, Mar 2010

The Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament began as one of the most highly-hyped hockey affairs in the sport’s long, rich history. There were disappointments (Russia, Sweden) and surprises (United States, Slovakia), stellar goaltending (Ryan Miller, Roberto Luongo) and magnificent offensive performances (Pavol Demitra, Zach Parise). But, above all else, there was a storybook ending that every hockey fan will…

Jesse Connolly: Can Slovakia Pull it Off and Stun Canada?

26, Feb 2010

For the Slovakian Olympic team, Wednesday’s win over Sweden, which pushed the squad into the semifinals for the first time in the nation’s history, was a moment they will savor for the rest of their lives. But, while they have put together one of the most compelling stories to come out of Vancouver in these past few weeks, there is still another chapter or two to be written.

The upstart Slovaks…

Andy Strickland: Tkachuk To Have Surgery/Season Tix Going Up

26, Feb 2010

The St. Louis Blues will announce later today a 4% increase over current season ticket prices for the 2010-2011 season.

The Blues currently have the 5th lowest average ticket prices in the NHL and the increase will keep the average ticket price in the bottom 1/3 in the NHL moving into next season. Currently the Blues have more than 11,000 season ticket holders.

The most significant incre…
