May 22, 2009

So the big complaint that I’ve seen in the Crosby era has been the fact that he dives. Is it a warranted complaint? It sure is. I’ll admit that I have a special hatred for the Pittsburg Penguins and their captain but the feelings I have about this aren’t all pointed at Crosby. As these playoffs move forward, the popular complaint is that the... [Read more of this article]

May 13, 2009

All the time, I hear about how a player can disrupt a team’s chemistry because that single player might have a difficult personality. The other players may not like the guy but it doesn’t translate to on ice play does it? Sean Avery is hated everywhere but besides Lundqvist, he was the only Ranger to show up in this years playoffs. Most of the time,... [Read more of this article]

April 20, 2009

When a NHL team plays with passion, you will see a result much like we saw on 4/19/09. Despite Pittsburg scoring 3 times, the Flyers never gave up on the game. Instead of giving up after a goal, the team kept fighting and pounding the Penguins into the glass.

April 16, 2009

According to TSN.com, the NHL issued a mandate to coaches and general managers about sending a message at the end of a game if the game is out of reach for one team.
