Are The Ottawa Senators Truly Overachieving?

The Ottawa Senators weren’t projected to go this far in the playoffs, let alone make the playoffs after they learned they would be without Jason Spezza for the regular season. Daniel Alfredsson is getting older, what about Anderson in net, look at their blueline with only Chris Philips and Erik Karlsson leading the charge, yadda, ...

Will Penguins’ Collapse Cost them the Series?

In an era consumed with Facebook, Twitter and hoards of media anxious to be the first to report, well, just about anything, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and blow things out of proportion.  Case in point, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ last minute collapse against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday night. After all, the Pens were 29 seconds ...

Could Bylsma’s Ego Ruin Pens’ Cup Chances?

It’s a trend that is becoming far too familiar to Penguins’ fans in these Stanley Cup Playoffs: A bone-headed play, a mental lapse, a brain cramp, or pure laziness leading to arguably the most talented team in these playoffs losing a game that they should win.

Ottawa, by way of dispatching a clearly over-matched Montreal Canadiens squad in five, and Pittsburgh by surviving the young New York Islanders in six games. Their season series ended ...

Crawford Silencing Critics as Hawks Advance

Corey Crawford Answers The Bell The Chicago Blackhawks became the second Western Conference team to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs by defeating the Minnesota Wild in five games. Despite Minnesota’s starter Niklas Backstrom going down with injury in the Game 1 warm-ups, Josh Harding filled in valiantly forcing overtime in ...

Don’t Just Blame Gryba, Blame Them All

It’s not the fact that a player was hit. It’s not the fact that Raphael Diaz fed Lars Eller a pass that led to the hit. It’s the fact that there was nothing wrong with the hit Gryba delivered with disastrous results to Lars Eller. You can throw around phrases like “suicide pass”, “no respect”, ...

Lars Eller Hit a Hockey Play Gone Bad

  Lars Eller goes down as Canadiens lose first game of opening round series against Ottawa Senators Hockey. It’s a rough sport. Things happen. Things happen at a fast pace. Very fast. Now fast-forward (or is it rewind?) to last night’s tilt in Montreal where the Habs faced off against the Ottawa Senators in Game 1 ...
