Edmonton Oilers

Believe it or not the Ottawa Senators are an extremely talented and competitive team in the NHL’s eastern conference.  The Senators have been one of the top teams in the NHL in the last decade and the reason why they missed out on this years playoffs was for one reason, team morale.  Ottawa is mired [...]

Yesterday was one of the most exciting days in the NHL, even though the excitement came in the off-season and off the ice.  Free agency began at 12:01 am and teams wasted little time in scooping up the talent.  By the time the day was over only a handful of top tier players remained.  Names [...]

This time of year we try to focus our desire for hockey.  Since their are no games we’re forced to speculate what can or can’t happen.  Who will or won’t be traded, who will or won’t be signed or who will be let go.  For Ottawa Senators forward Dany Heatley it seems that it has [...]

Last night we saw a great game. Playoff fever was at a high point and the energy in the Mellon Arena was electric.  Pittsburgh downed the Canes 7-4 to give us a little more than a tight low scoring game which is usually expected in the playoffs.  Pens super forward and Art Ross Trophy winner [...]

The Nashville Predators lost to the Minnesota Wild 8-4 effectively killing any playoff hopes that the Predators were hoping for.  Minnesota took control early and never looked back as they cruised to victory.  It seemed like Nashville just couldn’t get anything going.  Nashville didn’t do themselves any favors by going 5-4-1 in their last 10 [...]

First off, I must mention the Carolina Hurricanes.  They are scorching hot right now and are definitely a force to be reckoned with.  Last night’s overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins marked the 8th straight win for Carolina.  The Hurricanes who are 12-1-2 in their 15 games, are making a strong case that they will [...]

Last night the St. Louis Blues who are fighting for their lives in the western conference playoff race defeated the Detroit Red Wings 5-4.  The Blues, playing on the road in front of a hostile crowd rose to the challenge.  St.Louis’ David Backes exploded and led the way with 4 goals, numbers 27, 28, 29 [...]

The Florida Panthers won their third straight game last night beating the Ottawa Senators 5-2.  After a scoreless first period the Panthers scored three times in the second to take a 3-1.  They never looked back cruising to a 5-2 victory in front of the home crowd.  Five different players scored in the win which [...]

Just a couple of games in the eastern conference last night were played.  Only one of any consequence.  The Boston Bruins who have been playing listless hockey for the past few games beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 by throwing their weight around.  They played extremely physical,  the win was the Bruins 48th of the year.
The [...]

The Buffalo Sabres won yesterday by beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-3.  With their third win in as many games the Sabres are desperately clinging on to hope for making the playoffs.  Being just 5 points behind the Montreal Canandiens makes tonight’s game versus the Canadiens that much more vital.  With a win Buffalo would [...]
