2010 NHL Trade Deadline Transactions
Yesterday, there were a number of transactions across the NHL before the trade deadline but there weren’t any major shakeups (in my opinion). There were some that were worth discussing, of course. Feel free to leave me a comment about any of the deals that you found interesting. As a Calgary...
Souray Suffers Post-Operative Infection
Sheldon Souray just can’t catch a break. He had surgery on his broken hand (he got hurt on January 30, 2010 in a game against the Calgary Flames) and it was assumed that he would be able to return to the lineup soon but it looks like he’s going to...
Crosby Scores, Canada Wins Olympic Gold
It was a crazy exciting gold medal game for men’s hockey fans at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games today. Team Canada took on Team USA and the first half of the game really seemed to be in favor of the host country but then the Americans came roaring back. With less...
Ovechkin Lashes Out at Cameraman
I am guessing Alexander Ovechkin wasn’t thrilled to see any paparazzi after Team Canada issued the ultimate spanking to Team Russia at the 2010 Winter Olympics earlier this week because when he spotted a camera filming him, he walked over to it and gave it a shove. Totally unnecessary. Ovie is...
Luongo In Net For Must-Win Game
After Martin Brodeur underwhelmed between the pipes against Team USA this past Sunday, Team Canada has decided to put Roberto Luongo up against Germany since this is a do-or-die game tonight.

Matthew Barry: Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures - Habs 4 Kings 2
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. There's nothing worse than losing at home in front of a plethora of Montreal fans. The Kings, playing their first home...
Josh Lile: Is anyone steering this sinking ship?
This is what good teams do. Good teams, when their backs are against the wall, come out fighting. I'm, of course, talking about the Penguins. The Stars got out to a 3-1 lead early in the second period only to watch Pittsburgh score the next 5 goals. What the hell? After the...
Peter Tessier: They are coming home! The Coyotes ARE returning to Winnipeg!!!!

Aaron Musick: Avs blow out blues 7-3
The day before the Avs charity brunch, they sure weren't charitable to the St. Louis Blues, beating them 7-2. Chris Stewart got a Hat Trick, leading the way for an Avs team that flat-out dominated most of this game. Whenever the Blues would score, the Avs seemingly came back with two more...
Travis Yost: Sens Fall to Leafs in Shootouts

NY Islanders 7th Woman
