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...

New Jersey Devils Coach Pete DeBoer called Rangers forward Brandon Prust's Game 3 elbow against defenseman Anton Volchenkov "headhunting … plain and simple." New York Rangers Coach John Tortorella called Prust an "honest player" and inferred that Volchenkov sold the incident. Prust himself said "it wasn't vicious at all," while Volchenkov said it was "pretty dirty." The NHL Department of...

from Michael Arace of the Columbus Dispatch, Bottoming out is not the end of the world. For many teams, especially in the NHL, it is the start of something better. The Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks used rock bottom as a launching pad to Stanley Cup championships. When a hockey team is truly awful, it gets the best draft picks and replenishes. Putrefaction fertilizes opportunity,...

Tomas Vokoun won’t be returning to Washington next season, and the Capitals are likely to undergo something of an overhaul after their second round ouster at the hands of the New York Rangers, but the New York Post’s Larry Brooks believes that employing another Dale Hunter-style coach to teach offensively-oriented personnel to abandon their natural style of play won’t work very well come next...

Trending Topics is a column that looks at the week in hockey, occasionally according to Twitter. If you're only going to comment to say how stupid Twitter is, why not just go have a good cry for the slow, sad death of your dear internet instead? There are a lot of teams in the NHL that are easy to hate, for a lot of reasons. The Bruins are a dirty team. The Canucks dive everywhere. The...

The terse, short press conferences of Rangers coach John Tortorella have become the stuff of legend this post-season. To some, they are the work of a focused leader directing his team towards a singular goal. To others, Tortorella is spitting in the face of the hockey press and the fans that want insight into his tactics. To many, it's sitcom-style comedy unfolding right before their eyes....
