He’s Ponikarovsky With a Famous Wife
That’s what Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Empty Netters Blog had to say about Mike Comrie this morning during a discussion we had while he was a guest on Pens HD Radio’s Penguins Live.

Breakdowns Costing the Pens Points
Sometime in late March while the Penguins are in the midst of the hunt for the Atlantic Division title or likely at worst a playoff spot someone somewhere will wax philosophical about how the games in October are worth as much as the games in April and they’ll be right.

Gut Check Time Round One: B’s Battle Leafs Without Savard & Chara
Just like that, the Bruins journey to the playoffs has become that much harder. Despite quietly winning six of their last eight games, you’d think the Boston Bruins were already eliminated from playoff contention with the events that have transpired over the past 72 hours. After losing Marc Savard, likely for the season, in their [...]
Bruins Saved By Thomas & Satan’s Shootout Efforts
At this rate, the Bruins can’t care if it’s pretty, it’s all about getting the two points and staying afloat in the rapidly changing Eastern Conference playoff picture.

OH YEAH, HOCKEY: Isles Gearing For Season Besides Another Groin Injury?
Besides Matt Moulson, if the rest of the team could get a point tweaking their groin, the Isles might be raising a few eyebrows instead of the LI cost of ice packs. As Katie Strang wrote in Newsday, these type of injuries give the kids trying to make the team an extra look. Hockey Independent [...]
ENOUGH PHANEUF? Why Todays Game Needs Old Time Hockey Justice
By B.D. Gallof There are those who wondered is Garth Snow was making a mistake by not going out and getting an enforcer (yours truly included). Per Chris Botta, the Isles made a formal inquiry on Colton Orr during this summers quick free agency frenzy. But it was Toronto’s 4 year deal by pugnacious and [...]
