Yahoo.com: Puck Daddy (Greg Wyshynski) —
Here are your Puck Headlines: a glorious collection of news and views collected from the greatest blogosphere in sports and the few, the proud, the mainstream hockey media. • You're probably seen Zdeno Chara's tribute to Pavel Demitra by now, but here's Slovakia's Branko Radivojevic rocking a tribute T-shirt after their semifinal win over the Czech Republic at the Hockey World Championship...
Kuklas Korner (Lisa McRitchie) —
The Edmonton Oilers have several holes on their roster and in their system, but goaltending seems to be one of the situations that the Oilers can improve on without doing anything. While consistency was the biggest concern for Dubnyk and the team, the first and final stretches of games saw Dubnyk play his best hockey of the season. But there were of course those games in the middle, those...
Yahoo.com: Puck Daddy (Ryan Lambert) —
Hello, this is a feature that will run through the entire season and aims to recap the weekend's events and boils those events down to one admittedly superficial fact or stupid opinion about each team. Feel free to complain about it. It's possibly the greatest bit of investigative journalism conducted since Woodward and Bernstein brought down Richard Nixon. This exemplary, collective effort...
Litter Box Cats (Kevin Kraczkowski) —
Welcome back to the LBC All-Time Panthers Roster Countdown, Volume XIII. For a full rundown of the creative process behind the list, click here . Yesterday, we recapped the Panthers careers of former (and some possible future) players Kristian Kudroc, Jon Matsumoto , Jim Campbell, Jeff Taffe , and Jeff Greenlaw. Today, we will examine two defensemen, a left winger, and two centers. For...
Yahoo.com: Puck Daddy (Harrison Mooney) —
The Rangers' 3-goalie system of Lundqvist, Girardi and McDonagh watches the play develop at the other end. Winning the Stanley Cup Final is as much about overcoming attrition as it is about overmatching your opponent. Often times, a team's ability to minimize fatigue and damage in rounds 1-3 can determine the outcome of round 4. This in mind, I worry about Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh. ...
Matchsticks and Gasoline (Mitch Smith) —
So the Oilers have released conceptual art clips on their new Arena. To keep true to the Battle of Alberta Rivalry, I figured we should christen it with a appropriate nickname. Whether Oiler fans want to admit it or not, the Saddledome has been one feature of the rivalry that Calgary has towered above Edmonton on. Don't believe me? See if you can find even a single Oiler fan who likes...
On the Forecheck (Dirk Hoag) —
Thanks to the Czech Republic losing yesterday (and Martin Erat getting knocked from the game with a concussion ), all of the Nashville Predators are officially done playing for this season. Sure, there are two junior prospects still competing in the Memorial Cup, but the pros are now able to kick off the skates and heal up for the next three months. All that's left to do for now is get...
Winging it in Motown (J.J. from Kansas) —
Welcome to the Sunday open thread. As I type this, they're deciding who will win the bronze at the world with the Czechs currently up on Valtter Filppula's Finnish team through 2. Pavel Datsyuk's Russian squad will face off against Tomas Tatar's Slovaks a bit later. The game will be live at 1:30, but it will be replaying on NBCSN at 9:00. If your plan is to watch it tonight, be aware there may...
SBN: St. Louis Game Time (hartigan) —
It's metaphorical. The whole idea of spring cleaning - taking stock of what you have, whether necessary or not, more than enough or not - holds true to the end of any sports season. It's a pain, it's messy, it's emotional, it's overwhelming. But it's necessary to move forward, to grow up, to get better and to find that awesome pair of shoes that have been hiding in the back of your closet. ...
The Cannon (Matt Wagner) —
Happy Saturday! Kudos to the Jackets for another great fan outreach effort with their "Front Street Fridays." Reports from the inaugural event by Fire That Cannon and The Union Blue both make it sound like a great debut, and how about R.J. Umberger dropping into the open skate at the Ice Haus afterwards? He's Umby, dammit, and he's a mensch. Elsewhere, the LA Kings are rolling...
Matchsticks and Gasoline (Mitch Smith) —
As Darryl Sutter continues his march to the Cup with the L.A. Kings most Flames fans are waiting for the off-season to start. The playoffs seem low-key this year. No real team to cheer for, no real team to cheer against. On one hand it would be nice to see the Kings win it, little bit of redemption for Darryl Sutter. Personally, I hold no ill will against the man. He never should have...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
If you're curious about the progress of Kirill Kabanov , you'll have a few more chances to see him if you have access to NHL Network (U.S.) or Sportsnet coverage of the Memorial Cup continuing through next week. Last night Kabanov was kept off the scoreboard in host Shawinigan's 4-3 loss to WHL champion Edmonton, but he exhibited many of the raw traits that make him one of the NHL-bound...
SBN: Pension Plan Puppets (birky) —
After a dominating performance on Thursday night in Oklahoma City, the Marlies and Barons met again last night for game two. Unfortunately for Toronto, the roles were reversed as OKC netter 5 goals and tied their Western Conference Finals series at one game apiece. Jonas Gustavsson got the start in net for the Marlies. Here are some links: The Leafs, the NHL, coaching vacancies, and the...
Kuklas Korner (Lisa McRitchie) —
After being blanked by the Toronto Marlies in game 1 of the AHL Western conference finals Thursday night, the Oklahoma City Barons have battled back to take game two 5-1 evening up the series.With the Oilers’ season long gone, EdmontonOilers.com staff have journeyed to Oklahoma City and Ryan Dittrick reports on the game:The Oklahoma City Barons needed a quicker start than they had in Game 1....
Kuklas Korner (Paul) —
