NHL Preview: Jim Neveau’s Eastern Conference Predictions

The NHL’s Eastern Conference was a very top-heavy group last year. The Washington Capitals were the runaway winners of the President’s Trophy, and the bottom four teams in the conference all came into the post-season with records that would have left them out in the cold had they played in the West. This season, the ...

Fantasy Hockey: Taking a Stand on Left Wings

In anticipation of the 2010-11 season, TheHockeyWriters.com has begun its fantasy preview.  In the coming weeks, you can depend on us for  rankings, sleepers, busts, and a “Taking a Stand” preview of each position category. However, what you will not find in my position previews are a bunch of contradictory thoughts on each player.  Many ...

Lightning Strikes: A New NHL Powerhouse

The Southeast Division will be home to the two most powerful offenses this upcoming season. We know one is Washington, but the other is the Steve Yzerman-led Tampa Bay Lightning. In a few short months, the rookie general manager has taken the 24th best offense and morphed it into one of the strongest, at least ...

Questioning the Simon Gagne trade

A Guest Post by Victor Filoromo At the very least, this is hard to digest. For ten years, Simon Gagne called Philadelphia home. He was as much a part of the city as the Liberty Bell or Ben Franklin. It’s easy to go the sentimental route with this, but that can be avoided. This is ...

Montreal Canadiens Down, But Not Out.

Prior to the start of the 209-10 season, then Montreal GM Bob Gainey was criticized for pretty much every decision he made in the quest to improve his hockey club. The trade for overpriced, underwhelming forward Scott Gomez was laughed at. The hiring of defense-minded coach Jacques Martin was questioned. The acquisition of smaller players ...

Tables Have Turned on the Habs. Flyers up 2-0

What’s the difference between Pittsburgh and Washington, and the Philadelphia Flyers? The answer is defense. The Habs did a fantastic job shutting down the big stars on the Pens and Caps, but both series reached seven games, and therefore could have gone either way. 95% of the games that Montreal won in those two series ...

The 2009-10 Bruins are History

By Mike Miccoli, Boston Bruins correspondent

The Bruins won’t be remembered for upsetting the Sabres in the first round nor for their inspired play through the first three games against the Flyers. Instead, until Boston wins a Stanley Cup or another team pulls off this horrible feat, the Bruins will be associated with being the latest NHL team to choke (epically) in the playoffs. This is what we get to hear about all throughout the offseason and whenever the Bruins next hold a comfortable lead in a playoffs series. Being up three games? That’s just not enough anymore.
