Candidates for Team Canada’s roster for Vancouver 2010
Steve Yzerman, Team Canada’s GM, is planning on making the announcement of Canada’s final roster on December 30, 2009, a little more than a week from now. Yzerman will name his 23 man roster during the World Junior tournament in Saskatoon, Canada. Below you will find the three groupings for the 2010 Olympic hockey tournament: [...]
A Phoenix Coyotes Holiday Wish List
With the holiday roster freeze coming into play Friday, I figure now is as good a time as ever for us to gather around the fire and sort out a wish list for Jolly old Saint Nick to bring the Coyotes for the upcoming New Year. Obviously the ‘Yotes are performing well above expectations thus [...]
NHL’s Visor-Instigator Sends the Wrong Message
In Saturday night’s tilt between the Atlanta Thrashers and the Pittsburgh Penguins a rule that is little known and inconsistently enforced across the NHL was cited to add more penalty minutes on Thrashers Captain Ilya Kovalchuk following a fight he started with Penguins Forward Matt Cooke. 75.2 Minor Penalty – A minor penalty for unsportsmanlike [...]
Hapless Habs Fall To Flames, Slumping Offensively
Yesterday, the Montreal Canadiens were blanked for the first time of the season 1-0 by the Calgary Flames at Bell Centre. Jarome Iginla scored the only goal on the night and Miika Kiprusoff made 25 easy saves to earn his 10th win of the season. Jaroslav Halak was good and made 30 saves in the [...]
MacIntyre to Florida and the Myth of the Enforcer
Obviously there is a market for players like MacIntyre who have a limited skill set and really aren’t ever going to contribute in anyway that doesn’t use their firsts. Others in MacIntyre’s class are guys like Parros and Boogaard. Teams obviously want these guys but I don’t get it. As far as I’m concerned it’s a myth that they bring anything to your team.
Is It Time For The NHL To Review How Penalties Are Called?
Is it time the NHL uses video replay to help determine whether black-and-white penalties (delay of game, for example) are in fact penalties?
Game 10 preview – Battle of Alberta round 3
There really aren’t must win games in October. No team has ever won the Cup in October and no team has eliminated themselves either. But while there might not be must win games there are really would like to win games. Tonight in Calgary the Oilers are playing a really would like to win game.
Now Arriving….Jarome Iginla
The oddities of an Olympic year schedule are becoming apparent as the Flames played their first of five games in 21 days at home. A long homestretch that Brent Sutter has indicated he’ll use to drill the new system into the team. After watching tonight’s game against the Blue Jackets, it’s likely they’re going to [...]
Game 5 Preview: Canadiens visit Souray-less Oilers
When the Canadiens lost 7-1 to the Canucks on Wednesday night, I sat in front of my computer for two days searching for the words to describe what myself and other Habs fans were feeling. Frankly, they just didn’t make it out. And it is hard to find words that describe the dismay a fan [...]
Game 3 review – Another heartbreaker in Edmonton
I’m not going to be able to go through 82 games like this. In three games so far this season, the Oilers have lost a game in the last minute , given up the tying goal in the last minute and gone to a shootout twice. My heart can’t take a full season of that.
