BOSTON– On Saturday afternoon in Boston, the Bruins and Sabres played in a hockey game with less meaning than Spring Training baseball action in the sunny state of Florida.

There have been many surprises — and equally as many disappointments — across the league this season on both an individual and team basis. In anticipation [...]
CONCUSSIONS KILLING HOCKEY
Speed and offense are now the kings in the present day NHL. A focus on players with those very attributes took over drafts and team on-ice strategies. Slower skaters have slowly been fazed out, especially those pugilistic specialists who all too often didn’t quite have the same skill sets and strides of their respective teammates. [...]
Divisional Series: The Beasts Of The Northeast
Over the next two weeks, the Boston Bruins will be given the luxury of a considerably light schedule, especially by NHL standards, with only three more games slated for the 2011 calendar year. This coupled with the beginning of winter break at colleges across the country, has left me with some extra time to write. [...]

The Future Is Now For Jhonas Enroth
In the National Hockey League, it is often impossible for a goaltender to be able to step into a full-time role with the big club immediately after being drafted. Save for the rare exceptions of Rick DiPietro (New York Islanders) , Marc-Andre Fleury (Pittsburgh Penguins) and Steve Mason (Columbus Blue Jackets) –who were all taken [...]
Gone Streaking: B’s Stifle Sabres En Route To 5th Straight Win
