With their winning streak reaching 24 games, and at about halfway through the season, NHL teams needed to come up with new ways – any way – to beat the Chicago Blackhawks. On Sunday night, that’s exactly what the Oilers did; and the win came just in time for them, too. The Oilers came out […]

If there’s any team that’s thankful for this shortened season, it has to be the Chicago Blackhawks. After 22 games, nearly halfway through the season of only 48 games, they still have yet to lose in regulation time. On Sunday, it looked as though the Detroit Red Wings was going to be the team to […]

It may not be a completely perfect season, but for the Chicago Blackhawks, it’s pretty darn close. Facing off against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday night, Chicago’s Corey Crawford got his team a shutout with a 1-0 victory; and extended their winning streak to 18 games. It was Crawford’s first starting since February 12 […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins are enjoying having a healthy lineup once again, with Sidney Crosby helping them all the way to the top spot in the Eastern conference.

Before going into CBA negotiations on Friday, Commissioner Gary Bettman had already stated that there was going to be a lockout on September 15 if the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement. When both sides sat down though, it was only for 90 minutes before talks were stopped, and things now look grimmer than […]

It’s highly suspected that Rick Nash will play for Davos in Switzerland. Joe Thorton, who headed overseas with Nash during the last lockout, would most likely go with him this time, too. And it’s been speculated that Nikita Kikitin, Fedor Tyutin, and Artem Anisimov — all players for the Columbus Blue Jackets — would go […]

Alright Colorado fans!  So Colorado Avalanche missed last year’s play-offs by just two points.  Don’t forget the team beat the Los Angeles Kings twice in the later part of the season: and that particular team took the Stanley Cup.  How many of you are sitting out there sighing, “that could have been us?”  You bet […]

The 2012 NHL Draft is over, and the biggest headlines of the day — which were of trades — are still ongoing. So what happened in the draft; and which teams made out best? Carolina Hurricanes Carolina is undoubtedly the team that came out with the biggest smile on Friday, and it had little to […]
