The Washington Capitals defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 in overtime on home ice. Brian Pothier returned to Washington as a Hurricane and Scott Walker and Joe Corvo played against their former team.
The Caps looked dominant through most of the first period, going up 2-0 on goals from Alex Semin and Mike Green. However, the Hurricanes [...]
Tonight’s Caps matchup against the Stars proved to be a battle of the goalies, as Marty Turco and Semyon Varlamov. However, the Turco won this one, and ended the Caps’ home winning streak of 13 games, as his team stormed back to win 4-3 via shootout after coming back from a 2-0 deficit.
Both goaltenders made things [...]
In order to make a fair judgment of the Florida Panthers deadline moves, a timeline needs to be established. The trade deadline was just the end of the beginning of what is supposed to be a four step process, all of which I’ll get into, hopefully without rambling too much and losing your interest.
The Panthers’ [...]
Despite the lack of a blockbuster deal from any team this year, the Washington Capitals were active during this trade deadline, picking up Scott Walker and Joe Corvo from Carolina, Eric Belanger from Minnesota, and reclaiming Milan Jurcina from Columbus. Aside from some draft picks, the only major player gone from the team during this [...]
GM Don Waddell believes that his team is a buyer and can make the playoffs. I wholeheartedly agree with this, and will take it one step further and say the Thrashers are going to make the playoffs.
Before I get ragged on for predicting this, hear me out.
Yes, the Thrashers traded away Ilya Kovalchuk, arguably the [...]
The Florida Panthers organization made headlines before the Olympic break when a letter from co-owners Cliff Viner and Stu Siegel to season ticket holders called out the team and promised big changes. One change was made before the break, sending Dominic Moore to Montreal in exchange for a 2nd round draft pick in 2011.
Well, the [...]
With the Olympics currently ongoing in Vancouver, a trade freeze was put into effect on February 12th, and will not be lifted until March 1st. That will pretty much give General Managers across the league a little bit over 48 hours to make whatever deals they want to complete ahead of the March 3rd trade [...]
The penultimate NHL trade deadline has come and gone and the Washington Capitals have made a fairly bold statement: We’re fine for now, thanks.
And why shouldn’t they be? There’s no need to reiterate all the praise given to Alex Ovechkin, Nick Backstrom, Mike Green, and Alexander Semin. The off-season acquisition of Mike Knuble has paid [...]
Last night, the Montreal Canadiens ended the Capitals’ spectacular 14-game winning streak in a 6-5 OT victory.
With two games left to play before the Olympic freeze, the Capitals can ease their way into it without the pressures of a winning streak; yes, I am saying that it’s a good thing that they lost now.
It’s not [...]
I guess the General Managers didn’t get the memo that the trade deadline is not until March 3rd, as another deal went down tonight.
Atlanta Thrashers GM Don Waddell, who has been a busy man of late, took care of the goaltending jam that he had on his hands, as he dealt young netminder Kari Lehtonen [...]
