Shaw and Stalberg Make an Impact
The Blackhawks stayed determined, played a solid sixty minutes of hockey and came away with another home ice victory. The 4-3 score was flattering to the San Jose Sharks. If not for some spectacular saves by Antti Niemi and a soft goal allowed by Corey Crawford the outcome would not have been close. In the [...]
Part-Time Effort Earns Blackhawks One Point Versus Detroit
Two different Blackhawk teams surfaced on Saturday in Detroit. For the opening 35 minutes the Red Wings overwhelmed the Hawks and took a two goal lead. Then with about five minutes to go in the middle frame the boys from the Windy City woke up and got going. The contrast was striking. As bad as [...]
Thornton’s Penalty Shot, Third Period Domination Enough To Lead Bruins Past Jets
On what was a far more exciting Mid-January night than one would have expected, the Boston Bruins were able to use a strong third period effort to up-end the Winnipeg Jets 5-3 and right the ship after a Saturday matinee loss to the Vancouver Canucks just three days ago. Through forty minutes of surprisingly exciting [...]
GameDay: B’s Look To Get Back On Track Against Wheeler, Jets
On Tuesday evening, the Boston Bruins will look to bounce back from their 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, when they host Blake Wheeler, Mark Stuart and the rest of the Winnipeg Jets.

Balance The Key To Rangers’ Success
Two months ago, the New York Rangers finally played at home after a long road trip to open the season. The team returned from their 7-game trip with 9 points, but they came in incomplete, undisciplined efforts. They turned in a mediocre performance in a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 27th, and [...]

Hawks Show Up In 3rd Period To Stun Sharks
Those who recorded Sunday night’s Hawks’ game and haven’t watched it yet, take my advice: Fast forward to the third period and don’t waste a second watching the opening 40 minutes. Many of the 21,456 who were in attendance would agree most of this contest was forgettable. Fortunately, the ending was great, as the Hawks [...]
Hawks Defeat Pesky Islanders
It took the Blackhawks almost nine full years to win on Long Island as they came away with a 3-2 overtime victory on Thursday evening. The ingredients for a hard fought road win were evident. Marian Hossa was the best player in the game. Ray Emery outplayed his counterpart Al Montoya. The Hawks’ special teams [...]
The Trip Continues and a SiriusXM Interview
The Blackhawks will look to get back on track tonight in San Jose. If the losing skid continues the Hawks will be on their way towards the worse Circus road trip in some time. But by capturing a couple of points versus the Sharks, the Hawks can still end their road journey with a better than .500 record. Brent [...]
Red Wings Drown in Shark Tank 5-2
The Detroit Red Wings went into the “Shark Tank” hoping to get back on track, but instead fell flat for most of the game as they lose to the San Jose Sharks 5-2 at the HP Pavillion. If SNL’s Matt Foley were to have watched the game and he saw Marc-Edouard Vlasic, he must have [...]
Detroit Red Wings Week In Review
The Red Wings were hoping that after being chased out of the Verizon Center by the Washington Capitals that things would look up. Not so much….. Game Recaps Game 7: Detroit Red Wings 1 Columbus Blue Jackets 4 It would be easy to think that the Red Wings would take out their frustration on the [...]
Sharks Take Bite Out of Red Wings 4-2
Whatever Detroit Red Wings’ head coach Mike Babcock instilled during practice after the loss to Columbus didn’t seem to work. The Red Wings logged another loss in the record book as they dropped a 4-2 decision to the San Jose Sharks (5-3-0) at the Joe Louis Arena. The Red Wings (5-3-0) seemed to have played [...]
Boston Bruins Week In Review; Trade Brewing?

Detroit Red Wings Week In Review
Watching the Red Wings play back-to-back games this weekend was like watching two different teams. At the game this past Friday, they played like a cohesive unit. And the next night… the wheels fell off. Six games into the relatively new season, to say there’s a lot of hockey left would be an understatement. Game [...]
B’s Fail To Play A Full 60; Fall To Sharks 4-2 At TD Garden
Saturday night the Bruins were re-taught an an old lesson and cliche; that a team cannot succeed in the NHL, without a full 60-minute effort. In Saturday evening’s game the B’s did not play to their full potential for an entire game. It wasn’t until after 40 minutes of lack-luster, un-inspiring play, that saw [...]
Seguin Stars In B’s 6-2 Trouncing Of Toronto
Regardless of either player’s feelings for one another, 24-year old Maple Leafs’ winger Phil Kessel and 19-year old Bruins’ pivot Tyler Seguin will be linked and compared to one another throughout their entire careers. All of this thanks to a trade in the summer of 2009 that sent 3 top-end draft choices (the first [...]

Western Conference predictions for the 2011-12 NHL season
Predictions – everybody loves them and if you’re correct about half the time, you’re doing pretty well. Two years ago I had the Los Angeles Kings finishing sixth in the Western Conference. Nailed it. Last season, I slotted the Kings at fourth during my NHL season preview article. That’s certainly where they should have finished, [...]
