A few weeks ago we released an arbitration list which named the players ready to do battle with their employers.

Exactly 31 players filed for salary arbitration today, excluding the playoff hero Jaroslav Halak. Antti Niemi should get his due raise and the Hawks certainly prepared for it by shipping most of their bottom six to the Eastern Conference. With Halak settling for under four million a season the Finnish rookie probably has no other [...]

In a season where virtually no starting goaltender’s job was safe, we saw Montreal, Washington, and Ottawa all swap their starting goaltenders in an effort to shift momentum back in their favour but what does that mean for next season? In Washington, it’s no secret that Jose Theodore was unanimously disliked as a starter by [...]

Sunday, April 11, 2010
As the regular season ends, it becomes a sad day for fantasy hockey players – win or lose. Fortunately, we all have playoff pools (often scrounged up by the dude in the shady office) to keep us occupied for the next couple months. If you’re looking for an NHL playoff pool solution, be sure to [...]

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.

Ovechkin received a 2-game suspension in December for a knee-on-knee hit and if the NHL has any consistency, we should see something [...]
