Thursday, February 14, 2013
Last year’s Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson is going to miss the rest of the season with a 70% lacerated achilles tendon. The injury occurred when Karlsson went into the corner to pick up the puck and Penguins forward Matt Cooke went to pin him on the boards. In Cooke’s attempt to pin the Swedish [...]

Nightly Scrap: 1-0, 2-0, 3-0; 4-1? 3-1?
Friday, November 5, 2010
Notice the picture to the right, Jonathan Quick. He clearly deserves a vote for in today’s three stars for his 1-0 shutout of Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Notice Jaroslav Halak above.

We were bullish on his offensive side finding a new home but thought he would be stuck in a similar situation in Philly to his most recent with the Nashville Predators. With Sergei Gonchar likely to not re-sign with [...]

Tuesday, June 22, 2010
According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, Sergei Gonchar may be looking at the open market. At 36, the veteran defenseman seems unlikely to accept a decrease in salary after posting 50 points in 62 games. Since we live in a cap era a contract for a 36-year-old warrants caution. Over the past seasons he missed 83 [...]
