Rich Peverley, Center, Boston Bruins It’s scary how deep the Bruins lineup is. The Bruins who are the leagues second highest scoring team currently have 7 players in their lineup with at least 20 points. One of those players with at least 20 points is Rich Peverley. Peverley started the season off slow with only scoring [...]

Six special players laced up their skates for all 82 games of this year’s regular season and then the maximum 25 of a grueling postseason – totaling 107 games each. These six skaters — Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, Ryan Kesler, Tomas Kaberle, Rich Peverley and Jannik Hansen — all likely played through injuries and gave everything their [...]

Alexander Monaghan runs both NHLHotStove.com and Daily Faceoff. In fairness to both audiences, this short piece will run cross-promotionally. Stay tuned for additional coverage on the Stanley Cup Finals from both excellent writing staffs. Tonight, the Boston Bruins hoisted the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1972, turning Beantown back into a hockeytown. Bostonians [...]

The Eastern Conference, much like the Western Conference, displayed a few entertaining battles. Unlike the wild wild west, three of the four series went to seven games with only my hometown New York Rangers taking a bow in less. Last night we saw both the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins eliminated even though they were [...]

Clearly, the Boston Bruins are making a run for it. Seen as the busiest man in hockey today, GM Peter Chiarelli made not one but two deals, including the blockbuster that brings puck-moving veteran Tomas Kaberle to Boston. Chiarelli then turned around and moved extra defenseman Mark Stuart and the fans whipping boy Blake Wheeler [...]

As fantasy hockey owners start their final descent towards the playoffs, it’s time to start searching for quick wins and hot hands to replace slumping players on your roster. During last week’s Crashing the Net, we hit on Dwayne Roloson, Jordan Staal, and James Wisniewski. Kevin Bieksa – D, Vancover Canucks Just as the Vancouver Canucks have [...]

The Chicago Blackhawks prevented the Anaheim Ducks from winning a franchise record seventh consecutive game by beating them in overtime 3-2. Sophomore Viktor Stalberg scored his sixth of the season in extra innings as the team also got a goal from Marian Hossa and Patrick Kane. Clearly facing a team that relies similarly on their [...]

Jonathan Toews and the Chicago Blackhawks found a way to beat their former teammates currently on the Atlanta Thrashers. However, it would take 65 minutes and a shootout to decide which team would win. Patrick Kane and Toews led their team with two goals each, playing with each other and the young Viktor Stalberg– who [...]

Offensive Corps: Nik Antropov led the Thrashers in scoring and firmly established himself as a legitimate number one center in the NHL–although probably a second liner on your fantasy team. The hulking center scored 24 goals and 67 points while mostly playing with Maxim Afinogenov and Ilya Kovalchuk. He played excellently after Kovalchuk moved to [...]

Yesterday, I read an interesting article on A Yankee Whistles in Dixie which makes some excellent points. The Ilya Kovalchuk theory like the Patrick Ewing theory states that the team will actually play better without the distraction of a star player. This theory holds true in relation to the Thrashers as they hold an impressive 4-1-2 record [...]
