“Goalgate” is the term being thrown around for the major screwup/conspiracy by FSN Pittsburgh. A producer has been suspended over this, but I’ve heard a couple people say that Gagne should get his goal. Not going to happen. From Rule 78.1 – Goals and Assists: In case of an obvious error...

Yes, I realize this is old news thanks to some pretty accurate leaks. However, now that the Avalanche have an *official* third jersey, I’d like to offer my opinion. This is a pretty poor excuse for a jersey. It recycles many current and past elements and offers nothing new or notable....

Devils Need To Be Active at Trade Deadline
Everyone is looking at Atlanta, wondering where they’re going to trade Ilya Kovalchuk. But don’t forget to keep an eye on New Jersey, a team that also might be active before the trade deadline. Not so much for Kovalchuk, but for a goal-scoring center who can help out on the powerplay. I don’t...
Improving Attendance in Colorado
I love how Adrian Dater’s pet issue is tracking attendance at Avalanche games. Yesterday he posted some ideas on how to improve attendance. It’s interesting stuff: brighter lights around the arena; classic rock music, rather than metal; and a high definition JumboTron screen. Dater also talked to some players about the low attendance...
Rangers and Flames Trade Broken Pieces
The Rangers completed their trade for Olli Jokinen this morning, giving up the underperforming Christopher Higgins and Ales Kotalik for Calgary’s Jokinen and Brandon Prust. Kotalik was strange for the Rangers. Brought in as a powerplay specialist, he became such a defensive liability, he found himself a consistent scratch, despite a...
Did the Devils Self-Coach for Sutter?
I’ve been shocked by the struggles of the Calgary Flames, both because they seemed like a solid enough team and because coach Brent Sutter did a fantastic job in New Jersey last year. But lately, I’m wondering if he really did as good a job as we think. A large part of...
I have to say, and say completely without sarcasm, that I think Tampa does a nice job with their young players. Victor Hedman was starting to look a little overwhelmed and outmatched on the ice. Coach Rick Tocchet could have yelled at him or coddled him or told him to figure...

As mentioned in yesterday's All Habs game review, Ryan O'Byrne was the Canadiens' best defenseman against the Vancouver Canucks.

There has been so much speculation over Ilya Kovalchuk’s future with the Atlanta Thrashers and where he would be going that it’s almost a relief to learn that he’s been shipped to the New Jersey Devils. It’s a pretty big deal since Kovy has been Atlanta’s best player in the franchise’s...

Ducks Give Hiller Four-Year Deal
Good move! The Anaheim Ducks have given goaltender Jonas Hiller a four-year contract extension reportedly worth $18 million (the finances are unconfirmed, though).
