Scramble to Replace Campbell

Tuesday, March 16, 2010

After Brian Campbell was severely boarded by Alex Ovechkin and suffered a broken collarbone and rib, much ado was made about Alex Ovechkin and his occasionally reckless style of play. In a recent DailyFaceoff article, “Ovechkin Not Helping Your Playoff Push”, it was noted that Ovechkin’s hit would likely result in a suspension and [...]

One of the big stories off the off-season (at least on TSN) was Brian Burke’s insistence on building a strong defensive core on the Leafs blueline. He spent big to acquire Mike Komisarek and Francois Beauchemin to compliment the already high-paid Tomas Kaberle, Jeff Finger and Mike Van Ryn. In related news, the Leafs have [...]

Well that’s not the case in Ottawa where the Senators have won 3 of their last 4 games [...]

Is Fisher the Go-To Guy in Spezza’s Absence?
