Leafs Win Third Straight With Gustavsson in Goal

Kessel scores on a penalty shot in the first periodPHOTO: mapleleafs.com Say what you want about Jonas Gustavsson... He's too awkward in net. He always lets in the easy goals. He's flopping around everywhere... At the end of the day all that matters is whether or not he gets the win and he's riding a three game winning streak. The most recent win being tonight's game against the Detroit Red Wings, one of the best teams in the league. The Leafs started off strong in the first period scoring three

Wild @ Flames Preview

Saturday, January 7, 2012 at 10pm EST at Scotiabank Saddledome After a team-best start to the season, the Minnesota Wild have fallen from first in the NHL to sixth in the Western Conference. Colorado and Los Angeles are right on their heels just one point behind the Wild. To put this free fall by the Wild into perspective, they were firmly planted at the top of the NHL on December 11, winners of seven straight, five points ahead of second-place Blackhawks in the West and even four points ahead

A Six Pack of Wild Prospects

As an avid fan of the Minnesota Wild I am excited for their future. Six promising Wild prospects competed in the World Junior Championships. Minnesota Wild’s 2010’s sixth round pick Johan Gustafsson took home the gold with a 17 save shutout over team Russia last night ending a 31 year drought for team Sweden. Teammates Jonas Brodin , a gifted-skating defenseman who played against the opposition's top lines was drafted 10th overall last June, and team Sweden’s captain, Johan Larsson, Minnesota

Twice is Nice

Tonight the Sabres invade the RBC Center for a meeting with Eastern Conference basement dweller the Carolina Hurricanes. These matchups with the Canes always bring back memories to the 2006 Easter Conference Final. I still say to this day the Canes stole Buffalo's cup that year, if only Jay McKee took care of a cut on his leg he wouldn't have been the 5th D-man to go out of the lineup. I remember those annoying "cheerleaders" holding the sound meter things showing how loud it was in the arena

Mountain Climbin?

Tonight, the Hawks will try to climb out of a 2 game losing skid, going 1-3-0 in their last 4 games. How quickly things change for a team that had a dominant December. The Avs are currently one of the NHL's hottest teams right now and invade the Madhouse on Madison. With an 8-2 record in their last 10 games and a three-game winning streak, it's clear things are clicking for the Mountain Men. Goalie Semyon Varlamov is expected to be the net minder tonight and is 13-13-1 with a 2.96 gaa and .900 s

NEW VIDEO - How the 2012 NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft Should Have Been

In a late surge of votes Ottawa fans managed to stack the starting line-up with Senators players. Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Speeza, Milan Michalek and Erik Karlsson were all voted in as starters for the 2012 NHL All-Star Game. They even managed to out-vote Phil Kessel who led the race for the majority of the voting period. Had this not occurred, here's my take on how the all-star game player fantasy draft would have gone. Hosted by none other than... Darryl Sutter! Source

Leafs GM Quiet & Jagr May Return Sooner Than Expected.

Leafs GM Dealing? With the Trade Deadline just around the corner Leafs GM Brain Burke has been very quiet. Burke has less than two months to deal a blockbuster trade. A lot of rumors are indacating that the Ducks and Leafs will have a trade in sight by the deadline. On Thursday the media had asked Burke if he had any good trades in the line. He said he would have to kill us, if he had said anything and of course he was joking. The media had asked him about Anaheim he chuckled and said where pret

That Hurt!

Hawks vs Flyers Recap: The Negatives: - The Hawks allowed 46 shots (21 in the second period) in an uneven performance defensively that should have general manager Stan Bowman stepping up his efforts to find defensive help. I have been stating this for some time now. Stan are you listening? - Razor was exposed by a team that had the skill and patience to get him to move laterally. All 5 Flyer goals forced Razor to move post to post. - After going 15 games without a regulation loss when scoring f

Gustavsson Posts Shutout in Leafs Second Win in a Row

Leafs win 4-0 but Dion Phaneuf leave the gameafter taking a puck to the face PHOTO: mapleleafs.com The Leafs climb back into a playoff spot with a convincing 4-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets. Winnipeg, who lost last night to Montreal, were no match for the Leafs. Jonas Gustavsson earned his first shutout since December 19, 2009. Gustavsson didn't have to make very many saves, but when he was called upon, he was perfect on all of the 24 shots the Jets put at Toronto's net. The biggest improvement a

Time to Return a Favor

Tonight,for the first time since the 2010 Stanley Cup Final, the beloved Blackhawks travel to the Wells Fargo Center to take on the Philadelphia Flyers (22-11-4). Regarding the Flyers, they skaters in orange are a tough, physical and skilled team that is built for the playoffs. As you know, this is the kind of team that gives the Hawks, as currently composed, a lot of problems. For the Hawks there are some changes to the lineup as they try to regroup from Monday's loss to the Oilers and Car Bo

Trade Deadline is Like a Kid Waiting for Christmas Morning

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Trade Deadline time in the NHL. It's exciting, it's interesting, full of steals, full of laughers, and full of bad panic extensions. Every team is pretty much involved and almost every fan can hope for the new toy to watch the rest of the season. Luckily for NHL fans Christmas comes twice a year (Deadline and July 1st) and can even sometimes come early. Best sport in the world. With the news of the Ducks having a "Everything Must Go Sale" and Nash saying he wouldn't hesitat

Winter Classic Revision

The WC was and is a great idea and treat for hockey fans everywhere, but has the time come to take this idea to the next level? Of course I was excited, like everyone else, about Philly hosting this years WC. But at the end of the day I couldn't help but feel let down or disappointed . I know it would have been more satisfying with a Flyers win, but still I think the game had a little more talk and less action. We all know the challenges of pulling off this event, warm weather, bad ice, stadium

Big 57 is Back, Injury List Getting Smaller, No More Excuses

The new year has started off well for the Buffalo Sabres. Last night they pulled out a 4-3 win over the Oilers with a 3 point game from Drew Stafford and a multi point game from Derek Roy. Lindy Ruff overhandled his team again by making dramatic line changes that started in a poor start for the Sabres. Ruff quickly put the lines back to normal and the Sabres started to control play and earned the W. The best news in months came down today. Big #57 Tyler Myers is ready to go and will play tom

Hawks Update... Emery, Shaw, Carcillo and Olson

Coach Q plans to start the Razor (Emery) in net against Flyers on Thursday. Also recently signed Andrew Shaw will be in the lineup and likely paired with Toews and Sharp on first line as that is were he practiced today. The Hawks remain deadly silent on Car Bomb's (Carcillo) knee injury. Rumor has it that the injury is serious and that surgery is a high possibility. Rookie Dylan Olsen was paired with O'Donnell act practice today however it is still to be determined if he will play Thursday again

More Adult League Hockey Stories.

Despite my lack of desire to officiate A & B league hockey there are some positives to calling an A or B league game. 1. It's easier to avoid A & B league players. If you've played at the A or B league levels or any high level of hockey you know positioning and you know where players are most likely to go. You know what they're going to do with the puck and they pick their heads up when making passes and throwing the puck around the boards. It's a lot safer in that aspect. 2. The game is

Loud and Clear: Kings making noise

After two weeks, there have been no public whippings. The locker-room carpet is not soaked in blood. No eardrums have been pierced. What happened? Isn’t Darryl Sutter supposed to be a raging, raving dictator? Hired by the Kings as coach on Dec. 20, Sutter was preceded by his reputation as a humorless taskmaster who would terrify players and snarl at the media. One Canadian columnist compared him to malaria. Even a mostly positive newspaper piece described Sutter’s public personality as ``caustic

Blackhawks make roster moves

The Blackhawks have recalled defenseman Dylan Olsen from the American Hockey League’s Rockford IceHogs, and placed forward Marcus Kruger and defenseman Steve Montador on Injured Reserve. Additionally, forward Andrew Shaw has been added to the active roster. Olsen, 21, was the Blackhawks first selection (28th overall) in the 2009 National Hockey League Entry Draft. He has tallied one goal, one assist and 38 penalty minutes in 30 regular-season tilts this year with the IceHogs in his first full p

Early Vezina Talk

Originally, I was going to write an all-out campaign piece for Jimmy Howard’s place in the All-Star game as well as Vezina trophy consideration, but it’s a little ironic that he had one of his, well, less-favorable performances against the Dallas Stars last night. He came away with the “W,” but I’m sure he’s not all that proud of it. Everyone’s entitled to an “off” night and last night certainly seemed like Jimmy’s turn. Thankfully, the forward lines were all clicking, and Detroit never re
