Washington Capitals

First off, the Washington Capitals wore down the San Jose Sharks.  Then the Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin finished them off.  Ovie netted two goals in a 28 second span early in the 3rd period to put the Caps in control as they cruised to the 4-1 victory.  Ovechkin’s two scores gave him an NHL-high seven [...]

Detroit’s Jimmy Howard has looked suspect as Chris Osgood’s backup, so the Red Wings may be seeking a solid No. 2 netminder.  Meanwhile, the New York Islanders may soon have three solid goalies.  If injured Rick Dipietro gets anywhere close to healthy, look for Islanders GM Garth Snow to offer either Dwayne Roloson or Martin [...]

The first night of games brought a lot of excitement and showed that the level of play is not disappointing anyone.  Alex Ovechkin, the two-time defending NHL Most Valuable Player had two goals and an assist to help the Washington Capitals beat the Boston Bruins for their 1st win of the season.  Ovie looked really [...]

If the Atlanta Thrashers fail to re-sign forward Ilya Kovalchuk, the Boston Bruins might get in on the action and sign the star away from Atlanta. Kovalchuk is one of the games premier players.  If Atlanta loses him they will be back to square one.  Thrasher fans deserve better.
Former Colorado Avalanche superstar Peter Forsberg wants [...]

Evgeni Malkin says he plans on leaving the NHL in 2014 to play in the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.  Washington Capitals superstar forward Alex Ovechkin already made that pledge, causing ripples through the hockey community because the NHL might not sanction the Olympics past 2010.  In an interview given, Malkin said that it is [...]

Even though we’re in the off season, NHL teams have been very active in making roster changes hoping to find the right combination to lead them to the promised land, the Stanley Cup Finals.   The Montreal Canadiens have announced the signing  of goaltender Curtis Sanford to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2009-10 season.  Over the [...]

Up next in my breakdown segment of all NHL teams, we have the Washington Capitals.  This past season the Caps got a true MVP performance from their superstar player Alex Ovechkin.  Ovechkin lead the league in goals and picked up the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player.  Unfortunately for Ovechkin and all capitals [...]

This offseason will see many changes in the New York Rangers organization.  The Rangers seemed to wake up after a coaching change and came together under the tutelage of head coach John Tortorella to earn a playoff spot and then pushing the Washington Capitals to seven games in the first round.  Last season the Rangers’ [...]

Yesterday saw the Montreal Canadiens come away with two very solid signings.  Montreal signed forward Travis Moen to a three-year $4.5 million contract and veteran defenceman Paul Mara to a one-year deal.  They added some size to the back end and some toughness, Moen, who will probably play on the third line.  I think he would be [...]

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 [...]
