Fantasy or Fiction: Will Boudreau’s Benching Spark Ovechkin?
I was sitting on my couch last night, taking in the final few minutes of the Anaheim Ducks and Washington Capitals game Tuesday night, when all hell broke lose.

It sucks royally being in the middle of the pack in my keeper league, even if it is after only two weeks.

I take a lot of pride in my ability to draft a solid squad, but this year, circumstances didn’t allow me to attend one of my online drafts (I was on my way home to Toronto after seeing my Bengals play in Cincinnati – pretty much the ONLY reason why I’d ever miss a draft), [...]

Slim pickings. That’s the best way to describe the list of remaining Free Agents available when the signing frenzy begins on July 1st. With big names like Brooks Laich, Ilya Bryzgalov, Eric Brewer, Alex Tanguay, Joni Pitkanen and Kevin Bieksa already re-signed with their respective clubs, there’s not a whole lot of A-1 talent remaining [...]

Thursday, June 16, 2011
If the 2011 Stanley Cup Final proved anything, it’s that karma’s a bitch. The Vancouver Canucks had this series in the bag. Two hard-fought, emotional wins at home to open the Final left them only 2 wins away from securing their franchise’s first Cup victory in 41 years. They somehow managed to escape the wrath [...]

It’s Game on. Finally. It took the Boston Bruins until Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final to wake up and show they’re in this series to win it.

When you think of legendary Boston Bruins, the names’ Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito and Cam Neely immediately come to mind. Come seasons end, you might just see Nathan Horton’s name added to the list.
