New Jersey Devils

It’s early in the season and the Canadiens are already looking to make more moves in overhauling their roster.  Latest rumors coming out of Montreal are that GM Bob Gainey has a few possibilities in the works.  Nashville Predators veteran centerman Jason Arnott and defenseman Teemu Laasko could be heading to the Canadiens as part [...]

It has been a couple of years since the fans of the NHL have gotten to enjoy the hockey skills of former league MVP Jaromir Jagr.  Jagr left the NHL to go back and play in his native homeland but a couple of years later it seems as if he wants to return to the [...]

From everything I can gather young star forward Phil Kessel is done negotiating with the Boston Bruins.  So here are the three scenarios left for Kessel: Either he’ll be traded, or he’ll be signed to an offer sheet by another team and the Bruins will or won’t match it, or  he’ll play for the qualifying [...]

The Hurricanes certainly exceeded expectations in 2008-09 with a run all the way to the Eastern Conference finals.

The NHL’s Eastern Conferences’ Montreal Canadiens are getting off to a fast start by addressing some of the teams weakness’.  They acquired Scott Gomez from the New York Rangers in exchange for Chris Higgins, defensemen Ryan McDonagh and Pavel Valentenko.  Montreal also got forward Tom Pyatt and defenseman Mike Busto to complete the deal.  The [...]

Well today is the last day of hockey.  At 8pm EST the puck will drop in Hockeytown USA.  Sixty minutes is all that separates the Detroit Red Wings from repeating as Stanley Cup champions or will it be the young Pittsburgh Penguins who finally break through and win their first Stanley Cup.  One aspect that [...]

Wow, what an awesome ending to a hockey game, what Carolina did was just flat out awesome.  The Hurricanes trailed the New Jersey Devils 3-2 with 1:20 left in the 3rd period and then BAM, Carolina bangs home two goals in less than a minute to take a 4-3 lead and ends up winning the [...]
