Mike Knuble Once Again Flourishing With Flyers
February 12th, 2013 When Scott Hartnell went down with a foot injury last month, the Philadelphia Flyers were left with a hole at the forward position.

San Jose Sharks Are Setting Themselves Up for Another Disappointing Season
July 25th, 2012 So much for those "big changes" hinted at by Doug Wilson and promised by the media. So much for dismantling the core and "blowing up" the team after a pathetic first round exit against the St. Louis Blues. It had me excited (heck, it had all of us excited) at the possibility of acquiring some top-flight free agents or making a huge...
With Parise Gone, Should the Devils Trade Travis Zajac?
July 5th, 2012 With Zach Parise taking his talents to the Twin Cities, the New Jersey Devils now find themselves asking, 'How do we replace Parise's offense and his presence on the team?'

2 More Years of Marty & the Moose in New Jersey
July 2nd, 2012 While the New Jersey Devils and the rest of the NHL (and its fans) wait for Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to decide where they will spend the next chapters of their careers, the Devils re-signed two key pieces of their team -- inking Martin Brodeur and Johan Hedberg both to two-year deals on Monday afternoon. Both netminders played well...
UFAs Spotted Over Washington
May 16th, 2012 What can be said for the Washington Capitals 2012 Cup drive? It was a team effort. They got OT winners from fourth liners, divvied up ice time so that everybody got a slice, won as a team, lost as a team, and now it looks like the team will be broken up. By July 1st Alex Semin, Dennis Wideman, Keith Aucoin, Jeff Halpern and Mike Knuble...
The Trials Of The Washington Capitals
April 24th, 2012 This certainly wasn’t the season the Washington Capitals wanted but it was the season they needed. After winning the Southeast Division four consecutive years and the President’s Trophy in 2009-10, the Caps struggled early and often. It took the firing of beloved coach Bruce “Gabby” Boudreau to begin to process of righting...
Sabres Beat Caps in D.C., Playoffs Inching Farther Away for Washington
March 28th, 2012 Few would have predicted late March's game between the Buffalo Sabres and Washington Capitals to feature playoff implications, but with the Caps and Sabres tied with 84 points before their Mar. 26 date, it sure would be one to watch. While the Sabres have gotten hot recently, fighting their way back into the race after a first half to...
Capitals Must Use Intangibles and Self-Motivation Toward Playoff Push
March 24th, 2012 It's been a strange and, at times, tumultuous season for the Washington Capitals, but they have found themselves in the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, despite losing, 4-3, to the Winnipeg Jets at home in overtime. Part of the reason the Caps are in a playoff position is due to teams currently below them failing to work to get...
Capitals Moving On With the Same Roster
February 27th, 2012 After the Caps sent players back in Hershey and putting Nicklas Backstrom on LTIR to free cap space in case a deal was done, it seems the market price for everything was too high as Washington chooses choice "C": stand pat. There was much talk about what the Capitals needed to get at the trade deadline, which players on the roster might...Detroit looking to add depth at deadline
While many teams are infatuated by the likes of Dustin Brown and Rick Nash, the Detroit Red Wings are looking to just tinker with their roster as Monday’s trading deadline approaches. The Red Wings, currently second in the Western Conference with 85 points, like their roster as currently constituted, but may be in the market for a...
Trade rumors blowing hard in Boston
February 24th, 2012 With just a few days remaining until the NHL trade deadline, the Boston Bruins continue to contemplate just what they should do. Rumors are rampant, and with the news on Nathan Horton not being so good, the pressure to acquire a big-name player rather than a smaller puzzle piece continues to swell as the hours tick down to the...
Season's Microcosms Leave Caps in Most Dire Situation Yet
February 14th, 2012 You could probably say that Monday night the hockey world was watching the Washington Capitals play the San Jose Sharks: the game was nationally televised on NBC Sports Network, and about 12 extra visitors including a few general managers and scouts were at the Verizon Center. However, despite the pressure, the Caps could not live up...
