With the alumni game and Winter Classic coming up fast, I thought a good way to bring this back would be to count down my favorite Flyers moments ever. These are not the best moments in team history, rather my personal favorite moments. I wanted to do a top 10 list, but I just couldn't figure out which moment to leave off, so let's get this started with number 11.<br />
<br />
<b>11. Feb. 12, 2007, Keith Primeau Night, Flyers 6 vs. Red Wings 1</b><br />
The first of several moments on this list to include Keith Primeau was one of the few bright spots from the 2006-07 season, the worst in franchise history. Few represented Flyers hockey the way Primeau did for six seasons. He was never the most skilled player, but always one of the hardest working and his play during the 2004 run to the Eastern Conference final is the stuff legends are made of. When he was forced to retire due to concussions, the Flyers lost a great leader and they honored him before a game against the Red Wings, the team that drafted Primeau third overall back in 1990, two spots ahead of Jaromir Jagr. The Red Wings would tie Buffalo for the league lead with 113 points that season, 57 ahead of the last place Flyers. But you would not have known that on this night.<br />
<br />
It was an emotional game from the get-go thanks to Primeau's pre-game speech. As tough a player as there is, he had a hard time making it through the entire speech and the crowd gave him several standing ovations. Michael Leighton was in net for the Flyers as part of a four-game stint with the team that season and I remember hoping he would never have anything to do with the Flyers again. Funny how things turn out sometimes. The score was knotted at one going into the third period and my thought process was <i>Hey, as long as we don't get annihilated, its a good game for us. </i>Then there was a third-period explosion of offense as the Flyers played probably their best period of the season, putting five goals behind Joey MacDonald. Capping the offense was this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay8wc9PRJM4"><span style="color: orange;">beauty by Todd Fedoruk</span></a>.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Jan. 1, 2010, Winter Classic, <a href="http://Flyers%201%20@%20bruins%202%2C%20ot/"><span style="color: orange;">Flyers 1 @ Bruins 2, OT</span></a></b><br />
Every Winter Classic has been special, but this one was an almost perfect setup. My favorite team growing up playing just down the road from where I went to school. It was an amazing atmosphere, probably the best weather at any Classic so far and it was a highly physical game. Having the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghYrYXvy2wY"><span style="color: orange;">Dropkick Murphys play "I'm Shipping Up To Boston"</span></a> was a great sight as well. It may be odd that a game as epic as a Classic isn't higher on the list, but this is not a list of the best hockey moments, it's the best Flyers moments and, well, they lost.<br />
<br />
The game was highlighted by the first fight in Winter Classic history as Dan Carcillo took on Shawn Thornton before drawing the ire of the crowd by giving them a rocker salute on his way to the box. There was also Danny Syvret's first career goal which was fortunate as Tim Thomas was too busy dealing with Hartnell in front of the net. It was an off season for Thomas who dealt with hip issues all year, but he showed up big for that game and stymied the Flyers shooters all game. It was former Flyer Mark Recchi who tied the game, allowing Marco Sturm to score the overtime winner.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>9. </b><b>April 17, 2004, Conference Quarterfinal Game 5, <a href="http://flyers%203%20vs.%20devils%201/"><span style="color: orange;">Flyers 3 vs. Devils 1</span></a></b><br />
This was a really nerve-wracking game even though the Flyers had controlled the series to that point. But this was the Devils and, after losing the two previous series against them, including blowing a 3-1 lead in the 2000 Eastern Conference final, this series was huge. Even without Scott Stevens, the Devils still had Martin Brodeur, Scott Niedermayer, Brian Rafalski, Patrik Elias and Scott Gomez, all in their prime.<br />
<br />
The game was tied at one with just over five minutes remaining when Danny Markov, who combined with fellow mid-season acquisition Vladimir Malakhov to form the Flyers' best defensive pairing of the playoffs, threw an innocent wrist shot on net from just inside the blueline that fooled Brodeur, when off the pipe and in. It wasn't enough that they just won the series, it was that they finally exorcised their demons and beat the Devils in the playoffs.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>8. </b><b>April 22, 2003, Conference Quarterfinal Game 7, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh5HxOUFsws"><span style="color: orange;">Flyers 6 vs. Maple Leafs 1</span></a></b><br />
This remains the only Game 7 I have ever been to. This series was an epic battle that featured three multi-overtime games and was one of the longest series ever played in terms of total minutes. It was a physical battle and there were some odd moments including a goal allowed by Roman Cechmanek where he was trying to put his glove back on, a penalty shot by Robert Reichel who blasted a slapshot straight into Cechmanek's chest and a freak injury to Alex Mogilny which ended up helping the Flyers as he had the hottest stick in the series.<br />
<br />
Anything can happen in a Game 7, especially when Cechmanek is your goalie, but I never thought the game would be such a drubbing. Justin Williams, Recchi and, figure this one out, Claude Lapointe each had three points and the Flyers won 6-1. For a team that had been eliminated in embarrassing fashion in the two previous Springs, it was great to see them win a round so convincingly.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>7. </b><b>Feb. 15, 2001, Meeting Dave Schultz, Flyers 5 vs. Maple Leafs 2</b><br />
This one makes me laugh every time I think about it. For those of you who don't know, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEPEy7B1STU"><span style="color: orange;">this is Dave Schultz</span></a>. Before the game, which honestly I hardly remember and can't find a boxscore to, there was an alumni signing. I was only 11 at the time, so I didn't recognize anyone yet, other than Bernie Parent who is at every Flyers game. So I'm going through the line and I get to the third guy. I hand him my program and that's when I notice he has two Stanley Cup rings on. Two! So naturally I ask "Hey, can I have one?" I didn't get an answer, just a dirty look as he signed my program. Sheepishly I start walking away when he called me back.<br />
<br />
"Hey kid. You can have the ring if you can get it off my finger."<br />
<br />
Well Dave, if the offer still stands, I think I'm ready to take you on now.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>6. May 12, 2010, Conference Semifinal Game 6, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBhuvkCeU5k"><span style="color: orange;">Flyers 2 vs. Bruins 1</span></a></b><br />
When this series started, I was just hoping it would last long enough to be able to go to a game. The way the schedule worked, I would be driving home during Game 5. Both teams were so evenly matched I though for sure I would get to go to at least one game during the playoffs. Then they went down 3-0 and the best I could really hope for was they didn't get swept. Simon Gagne helped me out a lot by potting the overtime winner in Game 4, then I was able to listen to the Flyers beat the Bruins 4-1 in Game 5 while driving home, one of only two game during the series that was decided by more than one goal.<br />
<br />
The Philly faithful was rocking all night and even though the comeback was only half complete to start the game, everyone in the building could sense the series would not end that night. Mike Richards opened the scoring just under seven minutes into the game on a scramble in front and Danny Briere netted the winner on a snipe over Tuukka Rask's glove in the second period. Leighton played a spectacular game, including a big save on a Trent Whitfield breakaway when the score was still 1-0 and not allowing a goal until there was a minute to go in the game. Yes, the Bruins got their poetic justice the next season, sweeping the Flyers out of the playoffs in convincing fashion, but that series will always be a lasting memory.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>5. May 24, 2010, Conference Final Game 5, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JasvnUo9h3k"><span style="color: orange;">Flyers 4 vs. Canadiens 2</span></a></b><br />
This may be the best game Mike Richards ever played in a Flyers uniform. His entire shift that led to the first Flyers goal was absolutely brilliant and he was physical all game long. Arron Asham also played great, getting several quality scoring chances and was a force on the forecheck all game. Really, I may have been more nervous heading into that game than any other I have been to. Jaroslav Halak was playing out of his mind in the first two rounds and there was no reason to think he wouldn't be able to stymie the Flyers like he did the powerhouse Capitals and Penguins; I simply was not going to be satisfied until the series was over.<br />
<br />
The game seemed to take forever, but there was a huge wave of relief when it was over and Richards lifted the Prince of Wales Trophy. Sure, many say you shouldn't touch it, but it really doesn't matter when half of the teams that refuse to touch the conference championship trophy lose anyway and this was a long time coming. It was the Flyers' fourth trip to the conference final since 1997 and they had yet to get back to the final.<br />

<b>4. Feb. 21, 2004, Fan Appreciation Day, Flyers 5 vs. Thrashers 4</b><br />
It's funny, I didn't see the entire third period of this game and I could only listen to the crowd roar as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEYbnqykz50"><span style="color: orange;">Simon Gagne won the game on a penalty shot with 1:01 remaining</span></a>. The game was pretty exciting, especially seeing Dany Heatley and Ilya Kovalchuk work their magic. But it was after the game that made this day so memorable. It was fan appreciation day and among the many prizes given out was a chance to win a game-used jersey after the game during a shirt-off-the-player's-back ceremony. As luck would have it, my seat was called during the game and me and 20 other winners got to watch from a private area before heading to the bowels of the Wachovia Center.<br />
<br />
When the game ended the red carpet was rolled out and the winners headed onto the ice after given a card we would all open later to see which player's jersey we had won. I was the third person in line and when it was my turn, Lauren Hart asked me my name (listening to her try to repeat my last name was the first time I though maybe I should just start going by my first name only) and told me to open the card. Sure enough, there was a big 25 there. I won Primeau's jersey. The captain, the leader, the heart and soul of the team.<br />
<br />
The only downside was he wasn't playing that day; he wasn't even at the game because of consussions so Recchi skated over with a jersey that would be mailed to me later when Primeau was finally able to sign it. I have the jersey hanging in my basement right now, easily one of the coolest things I own. The only bad thing wasn't that I didn't get a freshly worn (and by fresh I mean sweaty) jersey, it was that I was never able to thank him for it. I really hope to meet him one day, just to give him the thanks he deserves, not just for the jersey, but for everything he did for the franchise.<br />

</b><br />
<b>3. May 20, 2004, Conference Final Game 6, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hgM0f-jdvk"><span style="color: orange;">Flyers 5 vs. Lightning 4, OT</span></a></b><br />
That jersey was great by itself, but it certainly jumped in value during the 2004 playoff run. Primeau had seven goals in 54 regular season games that year and just nine in 110 playoff games in his career. He would dominate in the postseason, recording nine goals and 16 points in only 18 games. He hit everything that moved, recorded three game-winning goals, two shorthanded goals and was a plus-11. Everything culminated for him in that Game 6, a must-win for the Flyers to force Game 7 in Tampa Bay.<br />
<br />
The game didn't go smoothly as three of the four Tampa Bay goals should have been stopped by Rob Esche, but that allowed for one of the most dramatic endings in Flyers history. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkl8uX_XaU"><span style="color: orange;">Primeau's goal to tie the game at four</span></a> was astounding. He danced around the net like a gazelle, slamming home the deflection off his own foot. That in turn set up the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcdaVng8JnQ&feature=fvwrel"><span style="color: orange;">game-winner by Simon Gagne</span></a>. I was nine rows behind that net and when I saw the puck drop behind the goal line, I just went nuts. Unfortunately the Flyers would lose Game 7 in Tampa Bay, but that does nothing to diminish what an amazing game it was. It was easily the best game of Primeau's career and has to be considered one of the best individual performances of the past decade.<br />

</b><br />
<b>2. June 2, 2010, Stanley Cup Final Game 3, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNYP76u7LlA"><span style="color: orange;">Flyers 4 vs. Blackhawks 3, OT</span></a></b><br />
The Stanley Cup final, there is no better spectacle in pro sports. The Flyers lost the first two games in Chicago and they weren't about to try and work their way back from 3-0 down again, so this was a must-win Game 3.<br />
<br />
Briere opened the scoring, but it was a brilliant pass from Scott Hartnell who threw the puck to the open side of the net while falling down (<a href="http://hartnelldown.com/"><span style="color: orange;">what else is new?</span></a>) that set up the play. Duncan Keith scored on a laser from the point just a few minutes before Hartnell put the Flyers back on top on a strange power play goal. He deflected a shot in front of the net and the puck just barely made it across the goal line, but since the ref didn't see it, play continued on for a few more minutes. When there was finally a stoppage in play, they were able to look at it again and determine the puck did cross the line. It just barely did, but sometimes just barely is good enough. Things looked good for the Flyers, but Brent Sopel scored at the end of the period on another long shot. Patrick Kane took all of the air out of the crowd when he scored on a breakaway to put the Hawks up 3-2 just 2:50 into the third, but the place erupted when Ville Leino tied the game just 20 seconds later, putting home a rebound off the rush.<br />
<br />
Chris Pronger was as physical as ever, leveling Jonathan Toews in the first period and Leighton, despite giving up three goals, kept the Flyers in the game for long stretches as the Blackhawks dominated play. Giroux almost single handedly got the Flyers back in the series with three points, including the overtime winner, tipping in a shot from Matt Carle by Antti Niemi. It was a picture-perfect finish to a Stanley Cup final game and it gave the Flyers <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgRey1mn5Iw"><span style="color: orange;">new life</span></a> in the series. The overtime was short, but thrilling as Gagne almost won the game when he snapped a shot off the post that trickled across the goal line, but never crossed it. It was only a few minutes later they won the game for real.<br />

<b>1. March 10, 2011, Postgame, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrLeqjEABHk"><span style="color: orange;">Flyers 3 @ Maple Leafs 2</span></a></b><br />
The game itself wasn't anything special, a pretty good regular season game, but the only memorable play was the bad goal allowed by James Reimer. Rather it was after the game that made this so special.<br />
<br />
I was interning with The Hockey News at the time so I was able to watch from the pressbox. And as if that wasn't cool enough, I was also able to go to the locker room after the game and talk to the players for an issue of Fully Loaded. It was an amazing experience seeing these guys off the ice, from the sarcasm and good-natured (well, sort of) ribbing from Pronger to THN senior writer Ken Campbell before the game to the fire, passion and enthusiasm of Carcillo who wanted nothing more than to get back at Mike Komisarek who boarded him just a few minutes into the game. Unfortunately for Carcillo, Komisarek also received a game misconduct in addition to his major for boarding, so he would have to wait for their next meeting to get his revenge.<br />
<br />
One-on-one, I was able to talk to Brian Boucher, Briere and Hartnell. Boucher was pretty humble, almost surprised I wanted to talk to him for the magazine. I was trying to find out what players did in their spare time in the summer, what hobbies or big toys they might have. Briere was a good interviewee, he gave me some pretty good content and was happy to talk to me. And of course there was Hartnell's reaction to me wanting to interview him, giving me a minute to talk to him before changing his mind and giving me 30 seconds instead. Fortunately I was able to get everything I needed from them, though only Briere's comments actually made it into the magazine.<br />
<br />
Of course, I have to give an honorable mention to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caEgbITnb84"><span style="color: orange;">Jeremy Roenick dressing up as Bobby Clarke for Halloween back in 2002</span></a>. Each moment was amazing in its own way, but nothing beats being able to interview the guys you grew up cheering for. There are going to be two more moments added to this list in the next week, it's just a matter of how high they go. That of course depends on the score and tone of the game, but there shouldn't be any problem with that as it will certainly be a physical game, maybe the toughest battle of any Classic yet.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-15726882337342240042011-10-18T09:21:00.000-07:002011-10-18T09:21:41.654-07:00NHLers on TwitterThere has been some interest in my thesis research, so I figured I should post some of my information. The following is a list of all NHL players with an active Twitter accounts (50 posts or an update in the past month) as of Oct. 6. I will try to update this once in a while, but with my workload from school and a few websites, it's hard for me to do more research than completely necessary.<br />
<br />
Please note Phil Kessel (PKessel81) has joined since I did my Twitter search and it would not surprise me to find out a few more have joined as well, but as I said it is simply too much for me to keep checking especially when I have to look for 700 players and there is apparently an hourly usage limit that I keep surpassing. Please, if you know of any players with accounts I do not have posted here, let me know. Leave a comment or send an email to timkolupan@gmail.com, I would like to have a verified, official list shortly. Now, here are the 141 players on Twitter.<br />

When he got inked in the locker room of TD Garden to commemorate their accomplishment, the artist spelled Champions with an A instead of an O, a gaffe <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/wyshynski"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Greg Wyshynski</span></a> pointed out was fixed later. Of course that isn't a big deal. A simple fix and he's ready to go, it's not like there were any more mistakes. Oh, wait...<br />
<br />
Marchand also mentions how he has no idea how the rumor started the tattoo said 'Starley.' That may be because the artist is worse at cursive than Happy Gilmore was at hockey. Any third grader can tell you a cursive N has two humps and a cursive M has three. The supposed Ns even have <a href="http://www.handwritingforkids.com/handwrite/cursive/animation/lowercase.htm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">that little notch at the top like a cursive R</span></a>. Both of those Ns are Rs and that M is an N. There is no other way of looking at it.<br />
<br />
The Boston Bruins font is atrocious as well. None of the letters are the same size, or even straight for that matter. It looks shoddy and rushed, not how I would want to remember a moment like winning the Stanley Cup. At least it's spelled right though. Now it's just a matter of how many more he wins and deciding what to do from there. As Wyshynski said, there are a few things to consider:<br />
<blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">(a) adding additional dates for additional Bruins Cup wins or (b) the awkward decision on how to commemorate a Stanley Cup he wins with another team or (c) when he's 50 years old and the torso tattoo he got at 23 looks like banner advertising being dragged by an airplane at the beach.</span></blockquote>Sorry Brad, but your tattoo is bad. Your gesture to announce your greatness to the world? It's a total fail. I know you were only on your entry level deal, but you could have afforded better service than that. It is not only small, but its placement doesn't allow much room for expansion either, at least not in a way that would look good. If he does win more with the Bruins he'll just have a bulleted list and if he wins with another team, he'll just have random teams and dates all over his torso. It's a good thing tattoos weren't as popular in Henri Richard's day.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-16438889426661446342011-09-05T19:11:00.000-07:002011-09-05T19:11:43.673-07:002011 Offseason Recap - Pacific Division<b>San Jose Sharks - 2</b><br />

<br />
<i>What to Expect</i></div><div>There is nothing left for Sharks management to do other than tinker with the roster until they find the right combination of players that will push them over the top. Dany Heatley is gone, but let's face it he isn't nearly as dangerous as he used to be and wasn't a factor in consecutive runs to the Western Conference final. Martin Havlat will be able to pick up the slack on Heatley's production. Devin Setogouchi was also shipped to Minnnesota for Brent Burns. While that takes away from the speed of the Sharks, Burns should help out a defense that finished 10th and penalty kill that finished 24th last year. Jim Vandermeer and Michal Handzus will help out in that aspect as well. Any doubts about Antti Niemi should have been erased last year, he is a legitimate starter and capable of backing the Sharks. Joe Thornton and co. aren't going to experience down seasons again as they vie for the best record and the Stanley Cup.<br />

<br />
<i>What to Expect</i></div><div>The Kings were a good team before, Now, with Mike Richards, they become one of the best in the Western Conference. He adds grit, scoring and experience and allows Anze Kopitar to concentrate more on offense, so he should be among the top scorers in the league. Simon Gagne is also a solid addition. While he has only scored 17 goals in each of the past two seasons, he has also recorded a career high 12 playoffs points in those years as well. He, Richards and Justin Williams could combine to for a formidable, former-Flyers line. If Dustin Penner can score 30 goals again, the 25th ranked offense will improve greatly. Drew Doughty took a small step back last season, but he will once again be near 60 points. His improvement along with the fact the defense didn't lose anybody will ensure another top-10 finish on goals-against average. Jonathans Quick and Bernier will put up even better stats now that they can relax thanks to some goal support.<br />

<i>What to Expect</i></div><div>The Ducks are very dangerous with Teemu Selanne; without him there is little scoring beyond their first line. If Andrew Cogliano can live up to his potential, it will ease the burden on MVP Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Boby Ryan. If Jonas Hiller really is over his vertigo, they have solid goaltending. However, if any symptoms flare up again they only have Dan Ellis and Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers to guard the crease. The blueline is a capable collection of veterans and youth that plays better than the sums if its parts. Lubomir Visnovsky and Toni Lydman had their best seasons last year and the Ducks need them to replicate those seasons again as Luca Sbisa and Cam Fowler develop into mature NHL defensemen. Kurtis Foster will be an underrated addition. But it all comes down to Selanne. If he plays the Ducks can be one of the best teams in the league, if he doesn't they are a one line team that will experience a dip in the standings.<br />

<i>What to Expect</i></div><div>Brad Richards was having his best season last year while dragging the Stars up the standings. Now he is gone, for nothing in return, and there doesn't seems to be another player capable of taking over like that. Their defense may stay the same, but the offense is going to take a dive and they won't be able to get near ninth pace again. GM Joe Nieuwendyk is doing as well as he can given the team-imposed budget, but there is only so much he can do. Michael Ryder played well with Mike Ribeiro when they played in Montreal, so the Stars need them to rekindle that connection. Loui Eriksson is going to have to score 70 without the aid of Richards. Alex Goligoski will finally fill the role vacated by Sergei Zubov when he left the NHL after 2008-09. Sheldon Souray's big shot will help the power play in lue of RIchards, but you have to remember, Souray is getting more money fro Edmonton to not play for them than the Stars are paying him to play. <br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
What a difference a goalie makes. There has only been one major change in Phoenix this summer and now it looks like they won;t even be close to making the playoffs. Ilya Bryzgalov has been the main reason the Coyotes have been able to make the playoff the past two seasons. Now it is up to Mike Smith to provide the quality goaltending needed for this offensively challanged team. They don't even have Ed Jovanovski to patrol the blueline anymore. Last season they finished 14th in goals, but it was the first time since 2005-06 they finished higher than 20th in offense, so don't expect those totals again. Their best offensive player is Keith Yandle, so he is going to once aging have to finish near the top in scoring among defensemen. Coach Dave Tippett will make them competitive, but they hardly had enough goal support for Bryzgalov, they won't have it for Smith. </div>Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-73836237512443144072011-09-04T16:38:00.000-07:002011-09-04T16:38:01.074-07:002011 Offseason Recap - Northwest Division<b>Vancouver Canucks - 1</b><br />

</div><div><i>What to Expect</i></div><div>Vancouver remains one of the deepest teams in the league and they play in perhaps the worst division, so there shouldn't be a problem once again putting up more points than any other team in the West. There is just too much talent for there to be a significant playoff hangover. Still, you have to imagine, for a team that finished first in NHL standings (117 points), offense (3.15 goals per game), defense (2.20 goals-against average), power play (24.3%) and third in penalty kill (85.6%), there is nowhere to go but down. But despite shortcomings and criticisms in the playoffs, Roberto Luongo remains one of the top goalies in the league and he is aided by the conference's best group of blueliners, even without Christian Ehrhoff. The only major loss among forwards was Raffi Torres, but Vancouver is full of agitators so his role will be filled easily. His spot was filled by Marco Sturm who is looking to win the Stanley Cup and show he can still score 20 goals. The major enemy for the Canucks this year is themselves. As long as they don't let the Cup final loss affect their play, they can easily grab home ice throughout the playoff again. </div><div><br />

Unfortunately Jan Hejda and Shane O'Brien won't be enough to improve the 23rd ranked team in shots against (31.8 per game), so the new goaltenders will have to be every bit on top of their game. They have a great collection of young forwards that are getting another injection of youthful exuberance in Gabriel Landeskog. Paul Stastny, Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly have the potential to be one of the best trio of centers in the NHL. Milan Hejduk is still good for 25 goals and David Jones has 37 goals in his past 100 games so he is capable of providing offense. If Peter Mueller can recover from his concussion then the Avs have a solid offense. They could get stellar performances in goal and make the playoffs, but I think there are just too many holes for that to happen. It won't be long though before the Avalanche are once again perennial playoff contenders. </div><div><br />

</div><div><i>What to Expect</i></div><div>Dany Heatley and Devin Setogouchi gives the Wild two players capable of scorig 30 goals, something they haven't had in a while. I fully expect Setogouchi to produce more oints now that he is one of the main guys on offense, rather than just one of many options. How Heatley reacts to the trade is anyone's guess, but they will have one of the best attacks in team history regardless. Losing Brent Burns as a result of the trades hurts though. Their defense was middling to begin with they will surely be knocked down a peg now. Niklas Backstrom is as stable a goaltender as there is in the NHL, only once in five seasons has his save percentage been below .915, so they will be once again receiving a strong effort in net. They are very similar to the Avalanche, but I feel just a step behind them. </div><div><br />

</div><div><i>What to Expect</i></div><div>Calgary addressed their need for help on the wing by trading for Lee Stempniak, but they are still thin on the forward lines after Jarome Iginla, Alex Tanguay and Rene Bourque. Yes, they were seventh in goals (2.94 per game) last season, but I don't see them reaching those totals again. Robyn Regehr, who has been a rock on the Flames blueline for 11 seasons, is now in Buffalo leaving a big hole to fill. That's a job that will be made easier if Jay Bouwmeester can step it up and Mark Giordano continues to develop as he has been. Cory Sarich is the only other proven defenseman. Miikka Kiprusoff is still among the elite goalies in the NHL, but he can't do everything by himself. Without Regehr clearing the way in front of him, he will likely face even more than the 1,935 shots he faced last season. Without a tested backup once again, that is a real possibility. </div><div><br />

</div><div><i>What to Expect</i></div><div>It appears as though the Oilers finally are headed in the right direction. Now armed with first overall pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, the Oilers young offense also features Sam Gagner, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Lunis Omark and Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson. The only real question for Nugent Hopkins is when he will be on the rosters as there is no need to rush him into the NHL just yet. If the young guys don't offer enough excitement, having Ryan Smyth back in Edmonton will add a great storyline to the season. Last I checked, <a href="http://rotoworld.com/player/nhl/1533/ryan-whitney"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Ryan Whitney is still not 100%</span></a> and he is their best D-man. Andy Sutton gives them a physical veteran and Cam Barker add another youthful element. The goaltending situation is one of the most unstable in the league. It appears as though Nikolai Khabibulin is past his prime and Devan Dubnyk hasn't yet reached his. The Oilers are hoping he can build on last year's .916 save percentage. The Oilers fans are going to see a hint of what the team is going to look like for the next decade. At best they will see the light out of the basement, but likely they will get another high draft pick again next year before starting to fulfill their potential. </div>Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-24235355438231007732011-09-03T16:31:00.000-07:002011-09-03T16:31:47.068-07:002011 Offseason Recap - Central Division<b>Chicago Blackhawks - 3</b><br />

</div><div><i>What to Expect</i></div><div>The Hawks got back what they lost a lot of in last year's salary purge, character. The core of the team is as good as they come, but an upgrade was needed on the bottom lines. Jamal Mayers and Dan Carcillo are two of the finest shift-disturbers in the league and they will bring a lot of energy to the team. Steve Montador and Sean O'Donnell form a veteran third-pairing. All should help a 25th ranked penalty kill, one of the main weaknesses last season. Corey Crawford showed a lot of potential in his rookie last year so there shouldn't be any problems in net. This will once again be a dominant team and will overtake the aging Red Wings as division champion more often than not from this point forward. They have all the right tools as they did in 2010, they just have to work together properly. </div><div><br />

</div><div><i>What to Expect</i></div><div>The Wings got Lidstrom for another year which is especially helpful after the sudden retirement of Brian Rafalski. Mike Commodore and Ian White will add veteran depth to the blueline and Niklas Kronwall should get an even bigger chunk of ice timePavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg are still capable of being the top two-way players in the game and Johan Franzen is unlikely to go on another two goals in 27 games stretch. The second-ranked offense is in no danger of falling. In goal, Jimmy Howard will look to go from good to great in his third season as starter. While they are no longer the elite team i the conference, they are still going to be a highly difficult team to play against and with nearly $6 million in cap space, they is room for med-season improvement. </div><div><br />

</div><div><i>What to Expect</i></div><div>After a great start to the season, injuries took over and derailed everything. They now have a very deep offense that is dangerous even without winger David Perron who is still sidelined with a concussion. Jason Arnott and Jamie Langenbrunner are the veterans tagged to guide this young roster and they can still play important roles on the ice when they need to. No one is going to be able to lead the offensive charge themselves, but they will be able to roll out waves of a speedy attack that should be fun to watch. On defense, Kevin Shattenkirk, who led all rookie D-men in assists and points last year, and Alex Pietrangelo are the rising stars. Other than Barrett Jackman, Carlo Colaiacovo and Roman Polak, the blueline is pretty thin. Jaroslav Halak will have a much better season playing behind a healthier team. The Blues are definitely in for their best season since the lockout and could record fewer than 30 losses for the first time since 2002-03.</div><div><br />

</div><div><i>What to Expect</i></div><div>Nashville manage to hang on to Weber for another year, signing a deal through arbitration and holding off a long term contract for another year. They remain a difficult team to beat, but other teams around them have improved more this summer and will likely bump the Preds down in the standings as a result. An already weak offense lost the creative, but aging, Steve Sullivan. Forwards will get help from the backend as Webet and Ryan Suter are two of the best offensive-defensemen in the NHL. Look for Weber to reach 20 goals again after signing that contract. Still, despite shortcomings on offense, a Vezina Trophy nominee playing behind an excellent defensive system will ensure Nashville finishes on the right side of eighth. The third best defensive team didn't get any worse is that aspect; that along with confidence from making it to the second round for the first time, will help them win any important game they need to if they are in a tight playoff race. </div><div><br />

</div><div><i>What to Expect</i></div><div>The excitement of landing a few players capable of playing on the same level as Rick Nash will likely add up to a hot start. Last season, they were no higher than 22nd in NHL standings (81 points), offense (2.56 goals per game), defense (3.05 goals-against average), power play (14%) and penalty kill (80.2%) and while the offense was addressed, not enough was done about the defense. So unless Steve Mason reverts back to rookie season form, or Rick Nash and Jeff Carter each score 50 goals, there still won't be enough goals to offset the ones against. The good news is they finally have the ability to score with the best teams in the Western Conference. The bad news is there are still holes on defense that need to be filled before they become a serious playoff contender, if only they didn't play is the best division in the NHL. At least, for the first time, they should be fun to watch. </div>Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-69511291463923238202011-09-02T18:17:00.000-07:002011-09-02T18:17:19.490-07:002011 Offseason Recap - Southeast Division<b>Washington Capitals - 1</b><br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
The Capitals will continue to be one of the top defensive teams in the league and it is unlikely to have as great an impact on the offense this season. Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Semin aren't likely to slump two years in a row. Caps GM George McPhee made a lot of good moves, signing the kinds of players that championship teams need. Joel Ward, Troy Brouwer and Jeff Halpern are the type of playoff performers Washington has been lacking the past few seasons. Tomas Vokoun has quietly been one of the best goalies since the lockout and now, at age 35, he gets to play behind a top-tier team for the first time in his career. If Mike Green is over his concussion problems, he should once again be near a point per game. John Carlson and Karl Alzner form one of the top young defensive pairings and Roman Hamrlik will be a stabilizing presence. They will win the division for the fifth consecutive season and finish atop the conference.<br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
While the Lightning are still a little top-heavy, Martin St-Louis, Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier are going to carry the bulk of the offense, they will get some more support this year. Steve Downie and Ryan Malone were injured for parts of last season while Teddy Purcell surprised many by scoring 51 points. They should all be able to reach the 50-point mark this season. Playoff hero Dwayne Roloson is back with Mathieu Garon set to back him up. Garon routinely plays 35 games a year so he should provide stable goaltending while giving the 41-year-old Roloson plenty of time to rest of for the big games. Thanks to some mid-season trades by GM Steve Yzerman, the Lightning have a veteran defense to support rising star Victor Hedman.<br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
The Hurricanes were kept largely the same as they were last season as GM Jim Rutherford was able to replace any parts that left. Tomas Kaberle fills the same role left open from the Joe Corvo trade. Alexei Ponikarovsky has to have a better season than he did in Los Angeles, but even if he return to 20-goal form, he won't be able to replace Erik Cole's physical play. The only area that was upgraded was the backup goaltender position where veteran Brian Boucher steps in in front of Justin Peters. He should be able to provide Cam Ward with a little more rest throughout the season. The Hurricanes have the building blocks to make a very dangerous team, but right now they are still in close to make the playoffs. Then again, they make the playoffs once every three seasons and they have missed the dance in consecutive seasons. <br />

There is going to be a lot of excitement this season now that hockey is back in Winnipeg regardless of how the Jets finish. Which is a good thing because they won't finish very high in the standings. No one on offense has shown they can consistently put up points so it's anyone's guess how many goals they will score. Dustin Byfuglien showed he can be a superstar on defense, he just has to be able to keep up that high level of play for all 82 games. The same can be said for goalie Ondrej Pavelec who was looking like a Vezina Trophy through December. At best they could give fans a glimpse of the playoffs like the Leafs did last year, but as long as show promise, the fans will be happy the Jets are back.<br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
The Panthers spent a lot of money this sumer, but they didn't improve all that dramatically. Each of the forwards signed has gone through good stretches, but none have shown they can be the go-to player. David Booth played every game after a sever concussion, so he should be able to once again post 30 goals this year. Ed Jovanovski returns where his career started in 1995 and they absorbed Brian Campbell's contract from Chicago gives them a steady group of defensemen playing in front of Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen. Both goalies are going to have to play their best all season for the Panthers to have a chance. Defenseman Erik Gudbranson and center Jonathan Huberdeau are the young guys to watch. New coach Kevin Dineen needs to fix the league's worst power play for Florida to show every improvement.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-73930981345701573292011-09-01T18:14:00.000-07:002011-09-03T10:45:56.672-07:002011 Offseason Recap - Northeast Division<b>Boston Bruins - 2</b><br />

Hardly anything has changed from last year, so you can expect more of the same dominance. They lost Ryder, who tied for third on team goals and fourth in points in the playoffs, and Recchi who, at 43, was still an important piece of the champion ship with seven points in the final including four assists in the last two games. Their offensive contributions won't be missed if Tyler Seguin has anything to say about it. He showed small glimpses of stardom last year, including six points in his first two playoff games and should be able to play with a lot more consistency in his sophomore season. Kaberle was pretty much along for the ride, so seeing him leave won't be difficult. Joe Corvo comes in from Carolina to take Kaberle's spot and help the powerplay, one of the few weaknesses in Boston. If Tim Thomas can play anywhere near the level he did last year, the Bruins have an incredible shot at repeating. <br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
The Sabres were able to improve via outside sources for the first time in a long time thanks to new owner Terry Pegula. New defensemen Christian Ehrhoff and Robyn Regehr are going to make life a lot easier for Ryan Miller, who once again will be the backbone of the team. Last year the Sabres were 17th in the NHL in shots against (30.7 per game), but there will be a major improvement in that area. Ville Leino is an upgrade over Tim Connolly and having him asked to play a more prominent offensive role along with Derek Roy healthy for a full season will keep the Sabres in the top-third in offense. This has the potential to be a very deadly team, but they are still $3,595,357 over the salary cap according to capgeek.com, so they still need to make some moves. Regardless, Ryan Miller will likely be a Vezina Trophy nominee by season's end, so expect a rise in the standings for the Sabres.<br />

It appears Carey Price has arrived as a legitimate number one goalie so there are no concerns in the crease. Hamrlik was a steady defenseman, but gaining Andrei Markov and Josh Gorges back from injured reserve will offset any loss felt there. How they hold up is going to go a long way towards determining Montreal's seed in the standings. Mike Cammalleri should once again pot 35 goals and they finally have a big body up front in Erik Cole, but if Scott Gomez can't put together a much better season, their 22nd ranked offense will improve, but not drastically. P.K. Subban should be an even bigger contributor on offense this season. They will once again be a scrappy team on their way to one of the last playoff spots.<br />

There are still a lot of question n the forward lines. Clarke MacArthur, Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin make one of the best second lines in the NHL, so in fact, they have usurp Phil Kessel's line if he cannot figure the whole consistency thing out. Tim Connolly can be helpful in that department if he manages to stay healthy. The Leafs are risking $9.5 million on a players whoo has reached the 70-game mark once since 2002-03. Luke Schenn and Keith Aulie are constantly improving and Dion Phaneuf looked a little like his old self in the second half of the season; if so, the defense will be much more stable. That, combined with James Reimer who looked to have a handle on the riens of the goaltending position as the end of the season, will vastly improve their 2.99 goals-against average from last year. He just has to avoid going the way of Steve Mason. The Leafs will be a little less streaky and give their fan base a glimmer of hope throughout the entire year, instead of just the last few months, before ultimately falling just short of the playoffs.<br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
Short answer: not much. There is a major shift going on in Canada's capital and they may be the Eastern Conference version of the Edmonton Oilers for the next few years. Though Daniel Alfredsson is only one season removed from a string of six out of seven seasons averaging over a point per game, it is unlikely he will approach those numbers again. That leaves Jason Spezza and Milan Michalek as the only other players who have proven they can put up points. Right winger Bobby Butler and defenseman Erik Karlsson will start to take over as the future stars of the team. While Craig Anderson is capable of playing extraordinary hockey and making a team play beyond its capabilities, it would take a Herculean effort for him to drag this club out of the basement. Sergei Gonchar had a down year to put it mildly and Chris Phillips is there mainly as a tutor for the young players. So keep an eye on Butler, Karlsson, Erik Condra, Jared Cowen, David Rundblad and Nikita Filatov, as they will be trying to cement their roles on the team for the foreseeable future. </div>Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-10178685231370860232011-08-31T19:00:00.000-07:002011-08-31T19:00:50.109-07:002011 Offseason Recap - Atlantic DivisionMy Offseason Recaps seemed to do good last year, so I figured why not do them again.

The Flyers finished 11th in the league last season in goals-against average (2.63) and that was with a shaky duo of Brian Boucher and Sergei Bobrovsky. That number is bound to improve with the acquisition of Ilya Bryzgalov. His stable presence will go a long way towards offsetting the major shakeup at forward. They may not finish in the top three in offense again (3.12 goals per game last season), but a <a href="http://thehockeywriters.com/five-players-primed-for-a-breakout-year/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">budding James van Riemsdyk</span></a> and the return of Jaromir Jagr is going to help out a lot. Taking him on is certainly a gamble, but the Flyers should take solace in knowing whatever he does this season can't possibly be as bad as <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/What-the-hell-is-growing-on-Jagr-s-face-?urn=nhl-78063"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">the last mark he left on the NHL</span></a>. If Chris Pronger is healthy there will be few concerns. The Flyers should be more consistent this season and if all things click, they'll capture the division title for consecutive years for the first time since 1994-95 and '95-96 seasons. However they'll need a lot of luck because right on their heels are the...<br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
I put the Penguins just below the Flyers because of the uncertainty of Sidney Crosby. I imagine GM Ray Shero will want to take every precaution necessary to ensure his franchise player is able to play 10 years from now. Sacrificing one season is better than risking a shortened career like Eric Lindros, Peter Forsberg and many others. Beyond that, the Pens showed last season they can play just fine without their top two players. Jordan Staal showed he can be a 60-70 point guy and Malkin is <a href="http://rotoworld.com/player/nhl/1810/evgeni-malkin"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">working hard to strengthen his knee</span></a>. They kept a major chunk of their role players, but losing Talbot and Rupp may hurt a little bit. They didn't lose anyone of significance on a defense that finished sixth overall in goals-against average (2.39) last season. If Crosby manages to play a significant portion of the season though, Pittsburgh will take the division and challenge Washington for first in the conference.<br />

I really like what is going on in Manhattan and I think the Rangers are an underrated team. This is assuming Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik mesh well, of course, but if they do the Rangers have a great first line to go along a fine collection of serviceable role players and Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan are ready to be counted in among the best players in the game. Their development along with that of Derek Stepan, Brian Boyle and Artem Anitimov will more thanoffset the loss of veterans Vinny Prospal and Alex Frolov. They have a young, but steady and maturing defense playing in front of what I believe is he most technically sound goalie in the NHL in Henrik Lundqvist. The Rangers were fifth in goals-against average and they are only going to get better while Lundqvist wants to finally capture the Vezina Trophy. Unlike many previous years, they have a good deal of depth and youth.<br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
I don't think it will take long for the Devils to rebuild, but it won't happen this year. They aren't going to be terrible, but there are too many holes, especially on defense, for them to be a major factor. Now they won't be nearly as bad as they were the first half of last season, but you can't expect them to go on a run like they did over the second half either. Their play wil likely even out and they will finish in the same spot. Having Zach Parise for a ful season will improve the worst offense in the NHL last year. Both he and Ilya Kovalchuk should threaten the 40-goal mark this season and Travis Zajac should be back near 70 points. There is just very little to like on defense however, aside from fourth overall pick Adam Larsson. Both goalies are in their late-30s so game will be played much more evenly than in the past.<br />

<i>What to Expect</i><br />
The young players will continue to grow and give a glimpse of what the future is going to be built around, but that will be one of the few positive note for the Islanders. Another is the return of Mark They are still paper thin on defense and there is no teling just how the goaltending situation will unfold. Kyle Okposo should be healthy and Nino Niederreiter will have every opportunity to earn a permanent spot on the roster. They will combine with John Tavares and Michael Grabner in what could be the first season of an offense that will carry the team for the next decade. This is likely to be their last season in the very bottom of the conference, but with a weak lineup and major questions concerning management and a new arena the dark days will continue for the time being on Long Island. </div>Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-3243954318954195772011-08-14T15:38:00.000-07:002011-08-14T21:25:43.566-07:00My Favorite Hockey MomentsEarlier this week, The Hockey News' <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/THNRoryBoylen"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Rory Boylen</span></a> wrote an article about some of the <a href="http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/41507-Boylen-Whats-your-favorite-hockey-moment.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">top hockey moments</span></a> in history, which got me thinking about my favorite moments. And as it turns out, his and my top moment is the same one. As much as I've been through already, Winter Classics, the Olympics, the Stanley Cup final, interning for THN, everything starts with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-adnOYdqJg"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Ray Bourque accepting the Stanley Cup from Joe Sakic in 2001</span></a>. It isn't my first hockey memory, that would be a Flyers 2-1 win over the Bruins at the old Spectrum back in the shortened 1995 season, that is the game that got me hooked on the sport. I was only 12 at the time and hardly knew anything of Bourque's career, but the humble gesture from Sakic and the passion in Bourque's eyes immediately turned me into a hockey junkie.<br />
<br />
Every other event I've seen, been to or been a part of have all been a result of that moment, making it my top moment no matter what. But that is far from being the only great moment I have ever lived through. Obviously being at a game in person is way better than watching one on TV, so I doubt anything can top the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. There were so many great moments, each game was an absolute wonder, I can't list them all, but here are a couple of personal highlights.<br />
<br />
<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBHeTZn-qcw"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Alex Ovechkin's hit on Jaromir Jagr</span></a></li>
<li>Peter Forsberg's last point in North America, an assist on a goal by Patric Hornqvist against Slovakia.</li>
<li>Shannon Szabados' glove hand in the women's gold medal game, one of the best goaltending performances I have ever seen.</li>
<li>Team USA's complete dominance over Finland in the semifinal, scoring six goals in the first 12:46 and coasting to an easy 6-1 victory to get to the gold medal game.</li>
<li>Tim Thomas' realization of a dream come true and participating in Olympic hockey at the end of that same game. </li>
</ul><div>There are plenty of other moments there, I would list every moment of action if I could, but let's move on shall we?</div><div><br />
</div><div>I was a big football fan when I was younger and I always wanted to go to a game whoile it was snowing. Those games in Foxborough and Green Bay looked magical on TV and would be an epic event to be a part of. That finally happened on Jan. 1, 2008 at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, though I never thought it would be for a hockey game. Out of the four Winter Classics, the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA3fgRgM1HI"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">snow globe effect and Sidney Crosby shootout winner</span></a> made for a remarkable day of hockey in what was surely one of the greatest sights to behold in NHL history. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I have watched the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBhuvkCeU5k"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Flyers force Game 7 against the Bruins</span></a> during their epic comeback in 2010; the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO5SnehKowM"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Chicago Blackhawks end the longest Cup drought in NHL history</span></a> (I'll admit, my vision was blurry at the end of the night); Keith Primeau almost single-handedly force Game 7 against the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004 in the most determined performance I have witnessed; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEYbnqykz50"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Simon Gagne beat Atlanta on a penalty shot</span></a> with a minute to go from the bowels of the Wachovia Center moments before winning a Primeau autographed, game-used jersey only a few months before his epic playoff performance; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMXIbvyVlRU"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Forsberg own the puck and go through the entire Sabres team</span></a> before dishing it to Eric Desjardins (one of my worst hockey memories followed four days later when the Sabres, up 3-2 in their first round series, destroyed the Flyers 7-1 in Philly); games in Ottawa, Buffalo and Boston in three consecutive nights. </div><div><br />
</div><div>And of course, I cannot forget about my internship. The guys at THN were incredible to work with and every moment of my four months there was incredible. From sitting the the press box for the first time to playing in the Business of Hockey Cup (even though we finished last) on my last day, it was an experience I won't forget anytime soon.</div><div><br />
</div><div>There are moments in history I look up to as well. One Boylen left out was the Miracle on Ice. Sure, Canadians will try to tell you the Summit Series is the greatest moment, but there is a major difference between the two. Sure, they both went up against a hockey and real-world superpower and were able to come out victorious, but the Canadian team was made up of the best professionals the NHL had to offer. Meanwhile Team USA was made up of a bunch of ragtag college kids who only a few months earlier couldn't stand to be on the same ice as one another. They came together, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lle3jmEHLYc"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">beat all odds</span></a> and were part of what many call the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gfD134ED54"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">greatest sports moment in history</span></a>. "Do you believe in miracles?" Hell yes I do.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The Soviets were the victim of another loss a few years earlier, this time to the Flyers. Many people disliked Philly for their rough and tumble (to put it lightly) style of play, but everyone was a Flyers fan on that night. The Flyers won 4-1 and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1_jFoB3RQM"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">sent the Soviets home</span></a>. The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUrWcOq11V8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Miracle on Manchester</span></a> is an epic game I have on DVD and watch all the time. The Kings were underdogs to say the least and this game is perhaps the greatest single-game comeback in NHL history. There was Mario Lemieux's comeback from cancer (how many opposing players can say they got a standing ovation in Philly?); <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHGMqXQEfw4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Primeau's goal in the fifth overtime</span></a> against Pittsburgh; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHtPbpQLxTM"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Petr Klima's third-OT goal against Boston</span></a> during only his second shift of the extra frames after the power went out; and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8up-tkxZ4r8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Paul Kariya's goal after being flattened by Scott Stevens</span></a> in the 2003 final. </div><div><br />
</div><div>These are just some of my favorite moments. There are so many to choose from as each year brings us more and more great stories and moments. Of course, the top hockey moments are not always good. Here are <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU1WPyp5zuQ"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">TSN's top infamous hockey moments</span></a> and their top crazy moments of all-time, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93HECzEdPJk"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">part one</span></a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=324vMBiGBhA"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">part two</span></a>.</div><div><br />

My WayStarting next season, there will be some moves around the NHL coming from the relocation of the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg and the <a href="http://jets.nhl.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">return of the Jets</span></a>. Several other teams could possibly be moved as well, most likely Phoenix, Columbus and the Islanders, meaning there could be some <a href="http://aol.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2011-06-23/report-gary-bettman-proposes-major-nhl-realignment-winnipeg-detroit-red-wings"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">massive changes coming</span></a>. The most common theory is there will only be two divisions in each conference. Adam Proteau of The Hockey News even proposed the idea of <a href="http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/38637-THNcom-Blog-Time-for-the-NHL-to-do-away-with-divisions.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">getting rid of divisions all together</span></a>.<br />
<br />
The NHL is sure going to look different a year from now. Here is how the NHL should look like and operate in my opinion. First I'll start with the divisions.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Wayne Gretzky Conference</b><br />
<i>Marcel Dionne Division: </i>Anaheim, Calgary, Dallas, Edmonton, Los Angeles, San, Jose, Vancouver<br />
<i>Gordie Howe Division: </i>Chicago, Colorado, Detroit, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis, Saskatoon, Winnipeg<br />
<b>Bobby Orr Confernce</b><br />
<i>Mario Lemieux Division: </i>Carolina, New Jersey, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Washington<br />
<i>Maurice Richard Division: </i>Boston, Buffalo, Columbus, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec, Toronto<br />
<br />
Obviously I've narrowed it down to two division per conference and renamed them after some of the all-time greats. Obviously I've relocated a few more teams, moving the Florida Panthers (we really don't need two teams in Florida) and the Phoenix Coyotes (really seems like only a matter of time, doesn't it) and moved them to Quebec and Saskatoon, bringing the total number of teams in Canada up to nine. It would be great to see the Montreal/Quebec rivalry again and Western Canada deserves another team. I was trying to figure out where to put the third relocated team and decided on Saskatoon to avoid an issue we could see next season and that is <a href="http://www.torontosun.com/2011/07/12/jets-will-find-home-in-central"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Winnipeg being the only Canadian team in their division</span></a>. Saskatchewan is home to a number of junior teams and fans there deserve a shot with a professional team.<br />
<br />
I have kept Detroit, a popular choice to move over to the Eastern/Orr Conference, where they are. Breaking up the Red Wings/Blackhawks rivalry, not to mention leaving Chicago as the only Original Six team in the conference, just couldn't happen, so I left Detroit alone and moved Columbus over to the weaker conference where they may actually have a chance to make the playoffs (but still probably not). The Mario Lemieux Division is comprised of the Atlantic Division and the three remaining teams from the Southeast Division while the Northeast Division is also in tact in addition to Columbus and Quebec. This alignment should keep all the major rivalries together.<br />
<br />
The schedule would be trimmed slightly to 80 games to cut down on a few three games in four nights situations for each team. Every team would be guaranteed to visit each building once with a home and home against the opposite conference and the remaining 50 games would be against their own conference. Each fan base deserves to see Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Steven Stamkos and every other star in the league. I would also get rid of the loser point and just go by wins and losses. Points would still be kept for historical comparisons, but when the only options are two points or none, you don't need to bother with points for current standings.<br />
<br />
I have some ideas for the next CBA too. First, there will be a maximum contract length of 10 years. Something needs to be done or these long contracts are going to get out of hand pretty soon. Also, any contract with a cap hit greater than $4 million cannot be buried in the minors. This may cause teams to think twice before handing out $7 million a year to a number one center who scores 15 goals on a good year or a defenseman who can't play defense. Owners and GMs need to be protected from themselves and this would cause them to think twice about ridiculous contracts. I would also take away the cap floor. While the NHL wants teams to be on an even playing field, handing out over-priced contracts just to make the floor, much like Florida has been doing this summer, is pointless and redundant.<br />
<br />
I would really like to fix the uniforms. Here are some things I would take away: <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?q=joe+sakic+jersey&hl=en&safe=off&tbm=isch&tbnid=2kR8oV6uhG59JM:&imgrefurl=http://www.9jersey.com/catalog/%253Fd-1425.html&docid=7QiOV1gIXqVk8M&w=750&h=499&ei=7J0rTrugJ4fbgQfjwJmpCw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=152&vpy=263&dur=458&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=105&ty=141&page=1&tbnh=143&tbnw=210&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0&biw=839&bih=907"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">apron striping</span></a> (vertical stripes don't work on a hockey jersey and they clash with the 'C' and 'A'), <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?q=tampa+bay+lightning+socks&hl=en&safe=off&tbm=isch&tbnid=RX4yMf115mVtXM:&imgrefurl=http://www.lighthousehockey.com/2009/3/16/798671/lhinks-uni-s-gms-r-ee-b-o&docid=t9FYB3KdIDi8cM&w=643&h=800&ei=854rTtjRO4jGgAeKtsSLCw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=473&vpy=78&dur=8921&hovh=250&hovw=201&tx=141&ty=201&page=1&tbnh=164&tbnw=146&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0&biw=917&bih=925"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">curved/unfinished stripes on socks</span></a> (these just look bad, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?q=senators+3rd+jersey&hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&tbm=isch&prmd=ivns&tbnid=94VgVcr0QyofDM:&imgrefurl=http://www.jerseyexpress.com/nhl/ottawa-senators-jerseys/rbk-edge-authentic-ottawa-senators-third-jersey-6.html&docid=ttxOjW7Far_9KM&w=364&h=396&ei=XqErTuaNI6XX0QGmq932Cg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=153&vpy=84&dur=1008&hovh=234&hovw=215&tx=109&ty=101&page=1&tbnh=159&tbnw=146&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&biw=917&bih=925"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">nicknames</span></a> <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?q=lightning+3rd+jersey&hl=en&safe=off&tbm=isch&tbnid=yyYLS0QC0plX9M:&imgrefurl=http://www.hockey-jerseys.ca/nhl/tampa-bay/lightning-jersey-third.php&docid=7A5D_f4eWJUIeM&w=500&h=500&ei=o6ErTsHzF6Pl0QGytvHaCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=522&vpy=87&dur=296&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=82&ty=110&page=1&tbnh=156&tbnw=162&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0&biw=917&bih=925"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">used as the logo</span></a></span> (what's next?

<br />
Lastly, here are some final random rule changes.<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Visors are mandatory.</li>
<li>The Norris Trophy will be for best all-around defenseman and a new trophy (the Rod Langway Trophy) will be made for best defensive defenseman. </li>
<li>Fights as a direct result of a clean hit will result in a power play.</li>
<li>All hits to the head are banned, accidental or not.</li>
<li>Hybrid icing introduced. The whistle will be blown when the puck crosses the goal line unless the offending team is closer when they reach the faceoff circle. </li>
<li>Elbow pads must have a soft outer shell. </li>
<li>Referees will go back to having their names on their uniform instead of a number. </li>

If every plan of his doesn't work out in the first few tries, Philly fans are going to see an entirely different team hit the ice every three or four years.The first time, it was completely warranted. He took over a last-place team in early 2006-07 that was horribly mismanaged after the lockout and went to the conference final in 2008 and the Stanley Cup final in 2010. But they collapsed after a strong start and were swept from the playoffs for the first time since the 1997 Stanley Cup final. Changes were expected, but a complete overhaul was completely unexpected.<br />
<br />
Eight players from their final game against Boston are gone now. Regardless of how you feel about the players traded, it is alarming complete rebuilds are becoming the norm for the Flyers' GM. Like I said the first one was completely necessary as the Flyers were too slow to compete in the new NHL. So out went Peter Forsberg, Kyle Calder, Randy Robitaille, Alexei Zhitnik, Peter Nedved and Freddy Meyer during the season and Joni Pitkanen, Geoff Sanderson, Todd Fedoruk, Mike York and Rob Esche in the off season.<br />
<br />
They were replaced by Danny Briere, Scott Hartnel after winning the Presidents' Trophy, Kimmo Timonen, Brayden Coburn, Joffrey Lupul, Scottie Upshall, Jason Smith, and Martin Biron. Holmgren did such a good job turning this team into a contender and Ken Campbell praised his work in the May 16 issue of The Hockey News. Campbell said of Holmgren:<br />
<blockquote>When you look at the Flyers as presently constituted, you can trace them directly back to the moves Holmgren made at the moment in time when things looked most bleak....But it was amid that scorched earth that Holmgren did his finest work.</blockquote>He made some tweaks, sure. They were an offense-heavy team, so they were able to trade youngsters R. J.Umberger and Joffrey Lupul and added Chris Pronger. That addition alone nearly led to a championship, but the Flyers were still a few part away. They seemingly fixed that by acquiring Ilya Bryzgalov and a trade was certainly needed to clear cap space, but a total overhaul did not appear on the horizon. First was Carter, who I thought should be traded. I was about to write an article for The Hockey Writers about why he should be traded when he was. Then, following Carter was Richards, Kris Versteeg, Ville Leino, Darroll Powe, Dan Carcillo, Sean O'Donnell and Brian Boucher in favor of Jaromir Jagr, Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, Jakub Voracek, Max Talbot and Andreas Lilja.<br />
<br />
Campbell praised Holmgren for his ability to turn around a franchise so quickly when it takes some teams years. But is he going to be making a habit of it? It's really disappointing when a good team fails to reach the ultimate goal, but you need to give them some time to play together and work towards that goal. Being a consistent contender is pretty much the best you can hope for in this league and if you can break through and win the Stanley Cup, all the better.<br />
<br />
Look at San Jose. They failed to get past the second round of the playoffs the first four years after the lockout, even falling in the first round to Anaheim in 2009 after winning the Presidents' Trophy. But instead of blowing the team up and starting over as many pundits said they should, they stuck with their course and have been to the conference final in each of the past two years.That consistency is largely to due with the fact they have been kept together. The Flyers are going to have trouble developing good team chemistry if they keep changing their key players every few years.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-48651003591227957842011-06-25T20:14:00.000-07:002011-06-25T20:14:09.568-07:00NHL Awards and DraftThe Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup over a week ago, but the season has still been going strong. There were the NHL Awards, a few big trades and the draft. Let's start with the awards.<br />
<br />
Here are the winners, along with who I had picked.<br />
<b>Award </b>- Winner - My Pick<br />
<b>Norris</b> - Nicklas Lidstrom - Shea Weber<br />
<b>Selke </b>- Ryan Kesler - Ryan Kesler<br />
<b>Jack Adams </b>- Dan Bylsma - Barry Trotz<br />
<b>Calder </b>- Jeff Skinner - Jeff Skinner<br />
<b>GM</b> - Mike Gillis - Steve Yzerman<br />
<b>Ted Lindsay</b> - Daniel Sedin - Corey Perry<br />
<b>Masterton</b> - Ian Laperriere - Ray Emery<br />
<b>Lady Byng</b> - Martin St-Louis - Nicklas Lidstrom<br />
<b>Vezina</b> - Tim Thomas - Tim Thomas<br />
<b>Hart </b>- Corey Perry - Martin St-Louis<br />
<b>Messier Leadership</b> - Zdeno Chara<br />
<b>Jennings</b> - Roberto Luongo, Cory Schneider<br />
<b>Art Ross</b> - Daniel Sedin<br />
<b>Rocket Richard</b> - Corey Perry<br />
<b>King Clancey</b> - Doug Weight<br />
<br />
There are no really surprises here, other than Perry winning the Hart Trophy. While I wanted St-Louis to win, I wrote a post on that a while back, I expected it to go to Sedin. He was consistent all season while Perry got the majority of his points in the final quarter of the season and I think being there all season is more important than being there for the stretch run. Though that is not to say that wasn't important, because he was a huge reason the Ducks went on a last-season surge and were able to take hold of the fourth spot.<br />
<br />
I was also surprised to see Laperriere win the Masterton Trophy since he didn't play at all this season. But I'm really happy he won it. If there is one person who is more dedicated to hockey more than anyone else, its Lappy. Why else would he get right back out every time he got hit with the puck or punched in the face. But he is more than a role player, he is a consumate professional and one of the best teammates in all of sports. Wayne Fi<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">sh said of him <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><a href="http://www.itsallaboutlappy.com/quotebook.htm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">in 2009</span></a> </span>"You get a lot of P's with Ian Laperriere: Penalty-killer. Pest. Physical force. Perfect teammate." He was so loved in Philadelphia after just one season, his introduction led to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rkJItjbxLY"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">one of the best moments</span></a> of a thrill-a-game 2010 playoff run.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">One final thought about the awards. Having random celebrities at the show is fine, but they should try to keep it more hockey related. Are there really that many people out there who like hockey </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">and</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? It seems unlikely to me, so let's get someone who is capable of remembering the correct </span>pronunciation of three names. Pronouncing Martin St-Louis' name Saint Lewis isn't the worst thing ever, but it shows they really weren't interested in being there. Even the host, Jay Mohr, wasn't perfect saying WHYzerman instead of EYEzerman when talking about Best GM nominee Stevie Y.<br />
<br />
The Flyers shocked me a few days later, trading Jeff Carter and Mike Richards, two first-round picks from what is going to be one of the best draft classes ever. I thought they should get rid of Carter, but I never thought they would trade, or even be able to trade, Richards. I was upset over that, but the more I look at the return, the better the trades look. They now have top-rated prospect Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, Jakub Voracek and three picks in the draft, including the eighth overall which they used to select Sean Couturier (Full draft results can be found<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"> <a href="http://www.mynhldraft.com/NHL-Draft-Results/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">here</span></a></span>). These trades have caused a major stir in the forward unit so let's take a look at what the line could look like next season.<br />
<br />
van Riemsdyk Giroux Voracek<br />
Hartnell Briere Leino<br />
Simmonds Schenn Versteeg<br />
Carcillo Betts Powe/Nodl<br />
<br />
I was expecting Adam Larsson to go first overall to the Edmonton Oilers, but they went with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins allowing Larsson to be taken by the Devils in the fourth slot. This worked out great for the Devils as they now have a solid prospect to rebuild their defense around. It was a strength of theirs before the lockout, but has since been pulled apart, mainly through free agency and retirement, and the talent level now is nowhere near what it was. Larsson is certainly as good a start as any to become a dominate defensive team again.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-63052248420698893022011-06-18T18:12:00.000-07:002011-06-18T18:14:00.299-07:00I'm Back!Well, it's been a long time...49 days to be exact. I can't believe how much time has passed since I last posted. I was just starting to get really into it too, but due to the events at <i>The Hockey News, </i>I began writing for<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"> <a href="http://thehockeywriters.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">The Hockey Writers</span></a></span>, so anything I would have written here I had to post there since I have been busy the past few weeks. Its a pretty good site, so check it out. You can see my work <a href="http://thehockeywriters.com/author/tkolupanowich/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">in my archive</span></a>, along with a fellow intern with THN, <a href="http://thehockeywriters.com/author/jblay/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Jeff Blay</span></a>.<br />
<br />
Around starting to work for THW, I finished my internship, played more hockey in one day than I ever have before and (very nearly) graduated. I drove over 1,100 miles in just over a week, including 800 miles in three days when I drove from Toronto to New Jersey on May 14 then to Massachusetts on May 16. Add another 1,200 going to a music festival in Maine and camping in Connecticut and I've been really busy.<br />
<br />
I guess I'll start with the end of my internship. The final weeks were pretty fun. I finished my favorite story I have ever written of Zach Bennett, an 11-year-old from Albany who has had both his legs removed in surgery. The Charlotte Checkers, formerly the Albany River Rats, are now paying for his family to relocate to North Carolina so he can get better medical care and be close to his favorite team again. Look up the story, it is quite inspiring. It's a shame my internship is over, but the guys at THN were fantastic. I was rewarded with a few free lunches, a nice bag of gifts and a great evaluation (leading to an A for the semester). So once again, a huge thanks to Jason Kay and everyone else who works at THN; it really is a first class organization.<br />
<br />
My last day of interning was one of the most exhausting of my life. I represented THN in the Business of Hockey Cup on May 13 at the Mastercard Center where the Maple Leafs practice which is a tournament between representatives of different hockey companies including TSN, The Hall of Fame and the CHL. The day featured eight 20-minute games as well as a skills competition. I tried my hand in the shooting accuracy, but that didn't go so well. I nailed the first shot, hitting the top-right corner, but then went zero for the next seven. Fortunately I wasn't the only person to hit one target, so it wasn't terrible. By far the most interesting part of the day though, was the first game we played. It was against the Buffalo Sabres and most of the THN guys had made it out to warm up while no one from the Sabres was out yet. The first guy skated out and after a few double takes, I noticed it was Rob Ray. Here's a little bit of what's on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENYSOXd-X44"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">his resume</span></a>.<br />
<br />
Then I had my senior week back at Endicott which was pretty fun. I'm glad I got to see some people before leaving. While I had a great time in Toronto there were still some people I wish I could have seen. I finally got time to relax going to The Way Life Should Be music festival then camping the next weekend. I'm back in the swing of things, working 40 hours a week cleaning out old warehouses and doing some construction.<br />
<br />
Enough about me, back to hockey.<br />
<br />
Congratulations to the Bruins on winning the Stanley Cup. That was a tremendous group assembled by Peter Chiarelli who made a bold move building the team around Zdeno Chara and Tim Thomas. I don't think anyone has gone through a longer road to become a Cup champion than Thomas and it was great to watch him lift it (it was also funny how he had <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWfkf5PHp78"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">no idea what to do with the Conn Smythe Trophy</span></a>). Mark Recchi went out on top and he will be in the Hall of Fame in three years. He never won any individual awards, was only a second team all-star once, in 1992 and he was an Olympian once (in 1998 when Canada finished fourth). The only downside to the celebration was Gary Bettman handing out the awards. They really need to take him out of the Stanley Cup presentation, to constant booing really puts a damper on the whole occasion.<br />
<br />
I'll post again soon. Like I said you can read my stuff at The Hockey Writers, so check that out and follow me on Twitter.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-25575766298880514282011-05-01T17:38:00.000-07:002011-05-01T20:41:28.156-07:00Consequences Of A Long NightThe Vancouver-Nashville game last night looked as though it would go on for a long time before Matt Halischuk found a hole in Roberto Luongo's armor. It wouldn't have been a surprise to see these two teams, led by Vezina-nominee goalies and strong defenses that helped Vancouver finish first in goals-against average in the regular season and Nashville third, play in one of those classic marathon games that causes fans to sleep at the rink and local pizza parlors to get a <a href="http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=CpczAAAAIBAJ&sjid=9ugFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5807,816403&dq=philadelphia+flyers+order+pizza&hl=en"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">surprise spike in business at two in the morning</span></a>.<br />
<br />
Winning those games is one of the toughest thing for a team to do. They are well beyond their usual physical fatigue levels and their mental fatigue is catching up quickly. They get through their shifts by sheer willpower and equipment managers work harder than ever in an effort to keep their equipment dry. The winning goal doesn't just mean a celebration for the win, it brings relief that the game is over and they can finally begin to rest as their next game is less than two days away.<br />
<br />
Those long games go a long way towards helping to win a series. Both teams are equally exhausted, but the wining team gets a huge mental boost while the losers are dejected as the loss becomes too much to handle. Of the 10 longest games in NHL history, nine of the winners have gone on to win the series, proving there is a short-term boost from winning those games. It isn't until the next series that the games start to take a toll as those nine winner are a combined 4-5 in the following series and 4-7 through the rest of the playoffs. No team would ever throw a game on purpose, but in the long run it may be better to lose the game early in the overtime and have more reserves going forward than to win a long game and be too tired to continue the playoff run. Here are the results of what happened after the 10 longest games in NHL history:<br />

<br />
3/28/30: 2, 1 of 3; Canadiens-2 over Rangers-1 in 2:08:52, won series 2-0; won next series (Cup final) over Bruins 2-0.<br />
<br />
4/18/87: 1, 7 of 7; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVPGSu7HOf4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Islanders-3 over Capitals-2 in 2:08:47</span></a>; won series 4-3; lost next series (conf. semifinal) to Flyers 4-3.<br />
<br />
The team that won the game have a combined 14-8 record (.636 winning percentage) in the rest of the series following the win, not counting the three series in which that win was in the deciding game. In the 11 series after the one featuring the game, the record drops to 29-29 (.500) for a total record of 43-37 (.538). This shows marathon games take too much out of teams to continue their runs to the Cup.<br />
<br />
One of the biggest examples of this is with the Flyers. The third-longest game help them tie their second round series against the Penguins at 2-2 after they lost the first two games at home. Then, after building a 3-1 series lead against their arch-rival Devils, they managed only three goals in the final three games of the series and missed out on the Stanley Cup final.<br />
<br />
The Devils benefited from an opponent's marathon again in 2003. After the Mighty Ducks won their series against the Stars, they swept their way through the Western Conference final against the Wild, only allowing one goal in the four games. But then they got the the Stanley Cup final and were shutout three times in a grueling series including a 3-0 loss in Game 7.<br />
<br />
The Islanders won the Easter Epic against the Capitals on Pat LaFontaine's turn-around shot from the blueline, then faced the Flyers in round two. That series went the full seven games and of the first six, five were decided by two goals or fewer. They would lose Game 7 5-1. The Stars also wrapped up a series with a history-making game, then dropped the first three games of the 2008 Western Conference final against the Red Wings. They battled back to force Game 6, but lost that game 4-1.<br />
<br />
Even though the Canucks lost the game, surrendering home-ice advantage to the Predators in the process, the fact they didn't play all night may have helped them in the long run. Ultra-long overtime games just don't leave enough in the tank to continue playing at a high levelTim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-66225074591727020092011-04-30T15:20:00.000-07:002011-04-30T22:24:33.861-07:00Saturday Recap - 4/30<b>Boston at Philadelphia</b><br />
<b>First Period</b><br />
<i>1:52: </i>David Krejci scores the first goal of the series early in the game. Last year it was his injury, coupled with Simon Gagne's return, that swung the series in the Flyers' favor. Brian Boucher bit too early and Krejci was easily able to go around him for the goal. Milan Lucic, while he didn't get an assist on the goal, started it with strong play down low which is a good sign for Boston as he was largely invisible during the first round against Montreal. The crowd which was raucous just moments ago is really quiet at the moment.<br />
<br />
<i>11:02: </i>Danny Briere answers back, putting home a rebound for his seventh of the playoffs, going around Tim Thomas for a goal similar to the Krejci one. Ville Leino made a nice play entering the zone, leaving the puck at the blueline for Braydon Coburn to pick it up and get a shot on net.<br />
<br />
<i>12:20: </i>Leino proves he doesn't let anyone get in the way of a loose puck as he knocks down the referee on his way to the corner.<br />
<br />
<i>12:55:</i> Thomas makes a great save on James van Reimsdyk on a pass from Claude Giroux and the Flyers have been putting on a lot of pressure since the Briere goal. Those two are starting to become one of the top duos in the league as they gain more and more experience.<br />
<br />
<i>16:06: </i>The Flyers kill off a goalie interference penalty on Zac Rinaldo who is playing in his first career NHL game. It was a curious call as both Rinaldo and Dennis Seidenberg both ran into Thomas on a rush it it looked as if Rinaldo was trying to stop, but couldn't because Seidenberg was draped all over him.<br />
<br />
<i>19:24: </i>Nathan Horton continues his strong play during his first career playoff run with his fourth goal in the dying seconds of the first period. Seidenberg made another great pinch as he did on the first goal. Horton was given plenty of room to get two whacks at the puck before scoring and the Flyers defense aren't working the front of their net with their usual bravado.<br />
<br />
<i>End of period: </i>Both teams spent the period feeling each other out. Neither team was rushing or trying to force plays that weren't there and there weren't any big hits. Both goalies were alright, all three goals were on rebounds and scrambles in front of the net.<br />
<br />
<b>Second Period</b><br />
<i> 2:34: </i>Mark Recchi gets enough on a shot to put the puck just over the goal line. The Flyers do not look good in their own zone as nobody was able to pick up Recchi or clear any rebounds. Right now they are on pace for their fourth goalie change of the playoffs.<br />
<br />
<i>5:11: </i>Kris Versteeg takes an unnecessary slashing call as the Bruins are starting to dominate Game 1. The Flyers have no sense of urgency whatsoever and the Bs are taking advantage.<br />
<br />
<i>7:42:</i> The Flyers kill off the penalty as the Bruins power play continues to be their weak spot. But they are right back on it as Briere takes another bad penalty, this time for tripping Seidenberg in the Flyers zone. The Flyers don't appear to be focused and it is hurting them right now.<br />
<br />
<i>9:58: </i>Briere gets a great chance coming out of the box, but shoots just wide. The Flyers penalty kill is doing a great job as the Bruins are having trouble entering the zone and cannot get set up. They will now get their chance on the power play that went 5-for-35 against Buffalo as Brad Marchand takes a slashing call.<br />
<br />
<i>12:37: </i>The penalty is killed off as Thomas was strong, making four tough stops. The Flyers get another power plays Johnny Boychuk high sticks Nikolay Zherdev.<br />
<br />
<i>15:26: </i>Boucher doesn't even react as a shot by Adam McQuad that is going well wide is deflected by Horton back towards the net and in. Right now the build is as quiet as it can get as nothing is going right for the Flyers.<br />
<br />
<i>17:14: </i>Brad Marchand seals the deal in the second period. He scores on a rebound and he was left open in front as the Bruins have been all game. The Flyers are flat and Sergei Bobrovsky comes in to see his first action since Game 2 of the Buffalo series.<br />
<br />
<i>17:30: </i>van Reimsdyk scores right off the faceoff on a wrist shot over Thomas' glove. It was a clean win by Giroux and a nice little pass by Sean O'Donnell to put the puck right in the wheelhouse for the quick snipe.<br />
<br />
<i>End of period: </i>The Flyers looked absolutely horrendous this period. Their forwards were ineffective and their defense looked lost. The Bruins have buried all of their chances and aren't giving the Flyers anything right now. The Flyers have taken a lot of stupid penalties and have been careless in their own zone. They have been making everything easy for the Bruins.<br />
<br />
<b>Third Period</b><br />
<i>3:50: </i>Bobrovsky makes a good glove save on a Seidenberg shot from in close as he gets into the game. Best thing for the Flyers to see is he made it look easy and was able to hold on to it.<br />
<br />
<i>8:30: </i>Giroux show some amazing stickhandling as he turn Chris Kelly inside out and sends van Reimsdyk in alone then almost scores himself before being hauled down by Andrew Ference who takes a hooking penalty.<br />
<br />
<i>10: 57: </i>The Bruins kill off that penalty easily as neither team has threatened at all. the Flyers PP unit goes back to work as Krejci takes a slashing call.<br />
<br />
<i>12:01: </i>The Flyers will have plenty of room as Marchand takes a penalty to give them a 5-on-3.<br />
<br />
<i>13:02: </i>Mike Richards gets his first of the playoff just after the first penalty expires. He walks out of the corner then rips a short-side shot by Thomas. The Flyers are playing much better this period, showing the Bruins Game 2 will not be nearly as easy as this one. It is his first goal since April 5, a span of 10 games.<br />
<br />
<i>14:59: </i>Marchand scores a goal as the puck is cleared from the crease before Patrice Bergeron knocks the puck off a defenseman's stick right to Marchand for the tap in.<br />
<br />
Greg Campbell scores to make it 7-3. Coburn does nothing to tie up Campbell's stick as he glided in unimpeded.<br />
<br />
<i>Final score: </i>Boston-7 Philadelphia-3<br />
<br />
<i>Story of the game: </i>The Flyers did not play smart at all today. Almost all seven of the Bruins goals were on player where the goalscorer was able to get behind the defense without anyone noticing. Even when there were four Flyers in deep, they didn't seem to communicate with one another and spent a lot of time running aorund instead of playing the sound positional game they need to in front of the goaltending backing this team. They were also undisciplined, taking five slashing calls away from the play. Even though the Bruins power play has been dreadful throughout the playoffs, this didn't allow the Flyers to get any consistent attack.<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Player of the game: </i>Dennis Seidenberg made two risky pinches early in the game and they both led to Boston goals as they got the advantage early. He quietly played very well in his own end, leading all players with a plus-4. David Krejci did a lot of the scoring with two goals and four points, but a lot of that was getting lucky bounces while Seidenberg was consistently making his own plays and getting the puck away from danger.<br />
<br />
<b>Nashville at Vancouver</b><br />
<b>First Period</b><br />
<i>7:19: </i>Martin Erat records the Predators fifth shot on goal which is as many as they had the entire first period of Game 1. The Preds are doing a much better job forechecking and taking the puck to the net, showing the urgency that was lacking the first game when they seemed to forget you can't win if you don't score at least one goal.<br />
<br />
<i>10:30:</i> Nashville gets Roberto Luongo scrambling as they send a flurry of shots on net and were getting to the rebounds. They had two shots on net, one blocked and a few just wide for their best scoring chances of the series so far.<br />
<br />
<i>15:07: </i>Vancouver kills of an interference penalty on Mikael Samuelsson. After getting a number of quality chances early in the game, Nashville has a hard time just entering the zone. When they did get a clean entry, Vancouver was winning all the battles and clearing the puck every time.<br />
<br />
<i>19:36: </i>Patric Hornqvist takes a hard hit from Alex Edler, but doesn't let it faze him as he gets right back up and get a shot on net.<br />
<br />
<i>End of period: </i>Once again, there were no goals at the end of one period. Nashville has looked way better and has as many quality chances in period one as they did in Game 1. They outshot Vancouver 12-6, more shots than they had the first two periods of Game 1 when they were out shot 16-5 in the first and 30-20 in the game.<br />
<br />
<b>Second Period</b><br />
<i>2:00: </i>Alex Burrows opens the scoring shorthanded. He went on with Ryan Kesler, tried to center a pass only to have it go off a skate and take a fortunate bounce right back to him. Pekka Rinne was sliding across to take the shot from Kesler only to leave the side of the net wide open.<br />
<br />
<i>2:35:</i> Martin Erat takes a Shea Weber shot off the side of the head after it deflects off a stick while he was jumping out of the way. To give you an idea of how much that sucks, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th9innRVXJQ"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">watch this</span></a>.<br />
<br />
<i>2:56:</i> Vancouver gets another chance shorthanded, this time on a 3-on-1, but the puck slid off Keith Ballard's stick and the chance was nullified. Vancouver gets a third chance as the penalty expires, but Kesler shoots it high as the penalty benefits Vancouver more than Nashville.<br />
<br />
<i>7:33: </i>Jordin Tootoo takes a bad tripping penalty and Ballard is lucky he wasn't seriously hurt on the play. Going back for the icing call, Tootoo taps the back of ballard's knee just enough to send him crashing into the base of the boards. Nashville likks off the penalty however to keep the deficit at one.<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>19:18: </i>Rinne makes a fantastic save on Kesler on a wraparound, getting to the glove side of the net in an instant as Kesler made a quick turn and got off a pretty good shot.<br />
<br />
<i>End of period: </i>A much closer period saw Nashville out shoot Vancouver for the third consecutive period, but they have yet to score. Vancouver had plenty of chances to extend their lead with Kesler leading the charge most times, but a lot of their shots were blocked or sent wide.<br />
<br />
<b>Third Period</b><br />
<i>5:41: </i>Luongo makes a great glove save on Blake Geoffrion. The line of Tootoo, Nick Spaling and Jerred Smithson has been the best of the game so far and they had a great shift right before and their strong forechecking is leading to some quality chances.<br />
<br />
<i>10:46: </i>The Preds go in offside after the best shift of the game. They has possession of the puck inside the Vancouver zone for about a minute and had all their players running around. The Sedins looked awful and they haven't done much all game. Meanwhile the line of Mike Fisher, Sergei Kostitsyn and Patric Hornqvist were making plays at will.<br />
<br />
<i>11:15: </i>Tootoo gets a breakaway and Luongo answers with a great leg save. A very similar play to the Fisher breakaway in Game 1.<br />
<br />
<i>18:53: </i>Ryan Suter finally scores for Nashville on a goal Luongo would love to have back. With Rinne pulled, Suter went into the corner and in desperation, threw the puck to the front of the net where it when off Luongo's stick, caromed off his left skate and into the net.<br />
<br />
<i>End of period:</i>Nashville outplayed Vancouver all period and it finally broke through for them. The shots were 15-5 in the period, 36-15 in regulation and the way Rinne and Luongo are playing, the fans in Vancouver better get comfortable. The edge going into overtime definitely goes to Nashville who have been by far the better team and they will certainly get a jump from the tying goal.<br />
<br />
<b>Overtime 1</b><br />
<i>0:18: </i>Kevin Bieksa takes a hit from Kostitsyn and goes down awkwardly, jamming his hand into the boards. This could be bad because not only is he a quality shut-down defenseman, but if they have to play only five D-men they will get tired much quicker and mental fatigue leads to a lot of overtime goals.<br />
<br />
<i>4:18: </i>Rinne makes an amazing save on Daniel Sedin on his best opportunity of the game. A takeaway at the blueline by Henrik led to the glorious chance at the doorstep on a rebound.<br />
<br />
<i>6:57: </i>Nashville gets the power play when Vancouver has too many men on the ice. In overtime penalties are rarely called as refs generally let the players decide things, but this is one they have to call.<br />
<br />
<i>17:45: </i>Rinne makes one of the best save you will ever see, this rivals the Thomas save in overtime of Game 6. Daniel Sedin fakes a slapshot then sends the puck over to Bieksa for the one-timer. He had the whoile cage to shoot at, but Rinne manages to get his stick on that. Even ESPN has to give him credit for that one on tomorrow's top 10. But it's hockey so they probably won't.<br />
<br />
<i>End of period: </i>Both goalies came up big a few times as we have now played 80 minutes without a winner. Vancouver had the better chances, out shooting Nashville for the first time in five periods. They could have had even more chances, but they had a lot of offside calls against them as they seem too eager to try and get those 2-on-1 and 3-on-2 rushes. The Sedins have played their best hockey of the series in that period. The Nucks will need them to be better if they hope to solve Rinne more than once a game.<br />
<br />
<b>Overtime 2</b><br />
<i>5:45: </i>Rinne channels his inner Dominic Hasek, rolling on his back and getting a glove on a shot by Daniel who went around the crease and had a wide open net.<br />
<br />
<i>6:20: </i>Vancouver takes another penalty the referees have to call. It is a delay of game for flipping the puck over the glass. This is one rule I really wish they would get rid of. It should really be treated as an icing call as both plays are made for the purpose of resting tired players on the ice. Why one gets the player two minutes is beyond me.<br />
<br />
<i>14:51: </i>When it was looking like both goalies were in a zone and this game may not come to a conclusion anytime soon, Matt Halischuk ends the game, firing a wrist shot into the top corner. Luongo doesn't make a good play on the goal at all as he was on his knees before the puck was even shot, leaving Halischuk plenty of room over the glove to put it where mom hides the cookies.<br />
<br />
<i>Final score: </i>Nashville-2 Vancouver-1<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Story of the game: </i>For the second straight game, it's the goalies. They combined for a .962 save percentage this game and are .969 in the series (.970 for Luongo, .968 for Rinne). While each team played well on the defensive side of the puck, they each had their chances to put the game away, especially Nashville who had two power plays in the extra frames. As strong as Luongo was, he made two mistakes that cost the Canucks a 2-0 series lead by letting a shot go in from behind the goal line and biting way too early on the overtime goal. The Predators now have home ice advantage as they need three more wins and they have three games at home. The Sedins showed up for the series in overtime, but they will have to be much better at creating chances and finishing as scoring is going to come at a premium. Like Alex Ovechkin, Steven Stamkos and every other sniper, they have to learn to crash the net and score on scrambles in front. They can score those pretty goals in the regular season, but it doesn't work often in the playoffs.<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Player of the game: </i>It was Ryan Kesler through regulation who despite not scoring a goal, got an assist on the Burrows goal and created chances throughout the game. He was solid defensively, giving the Predators little room to work with in the Vancouver zone. He deserves a mention, but Rinne stole the show in overtime as the Canucks had four or five opportunities where they could have easily ended the game. He faced nearly as many shots in overtime (11) as he did in regulation (15) and they were much better quality, especially once the Sedins got going.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-75195976937600279902011-04-30T12:05:00.000-07:002011-04-30T12:17:36.399-07:00Flyers/Bruins Roster Changes And Ruff Times Continues in BuffaloI'm channeling my inner NHL.com puns with that headline.<br />
<br />
Some are wondering if the Boston Bruins' historic collapse to the Philadelphia Flyers last year will have any effect on their semifinal series this year. That would be the case if the same two teams were playing each other, but that is not the case as there have been 16 roster changes between Game 7 last year and the end of the series this year including 10 for Boston.<br />
<br />
The core of the Flyers is still the same, but the have added even more depth. Their third pairing has been upgraded from Ryan Parent and Lukas Krajicek to Sean O'Donnell and Andrej Meszaros. Up front they lost veteran sniper Simon Gagne and grinder Arron Asham who have been replaced by Kris Versteeg, who came out on the right side of Game 6 last year, and inconsistent (that's being generous) Nikolay Zherdev. In goal, Michael Leighton finished up the series after Brian Boucher went down with an injury, but it is Boucher who will once again be starting the series.<br />
<br />
The Bruins have made many changes throughout the roster. They have replaced an injured and largely ineffective Marc Savard with Nathan Horton who had three goals including two overtime winners in his first playoff series. There is a lot more sandpaper on the forward lines as Vladimir Sobotka, Miroslav Satan and Blake Wheeler were replaced by Greg Campbell, Chris Kelly and Brad Marchand, players who are much better at mucking it up and winning battles in the corners which is exactly what you need to win in the playoffs. Tim Thomas brings his experience back to the net over Tuukka Rask.<br />
<br />
There are some similarities too. Both teams have a monstrous defenseman to punish anyone willing to get into their territory. But while Chris Pronger is coming into the series relatively rested and is still one of the meanest and nastiest players to go up against while Zdeno Chara doesn't use his size to his advantage nearly enough and tries to poke check too often when he could easily take the body. Mike Richards and Milan Lucic have both underachieved as neither have a goal so far in the playoffs after showing how clutch they can be last year.<br />
<br />
The Bruins will certainly remember the collapse last year, but they have had enough turnover so that it doesn't matter as this is a completely revamped team.<br />
<br />
<br />
Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff has received a <a href="http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=561537#&navid=nhl-search"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">contract extension</span></a>. Ruff, while failing to lead the Sabres to the Stanley Cup, has gotten a lot out of his teams. Only once in 14 years have the Sabres gone below 82 points. That was the 2002-03 season when only one player who finished the season in Buffalo had more than 35 points. With the exception of the first two season after the lockout, he has had little offense to work with, but the Sabres have remained competitive. Their leading scorers in each year and their finish since Ruff took over goes as follows:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><li>1998-98: Miroslav Satan - 46 points - 89 points, third in division, lost conference final</li>
<li>1998-99: Miroslav Satan - 66 points - 91 points, fourth in division, lost Stanley Cup final</li>
<li>1999-2000: Miroslav Satan - 67 points - 85 points, third in division, lost round 1</li>
<li>2000-01: Miroslav Satan - 62 points - 98 points, second in division, lost round 2</li>
<li>2001-02: Miroslav Satan - 73 points - 82 points, fifth in division, missed playoffs</li>
<li>2002-03: Miroslav Satan - 75 points - 72 points, fifth in division, missed playoffs</li>
<li>2003-04: Danny Briere - 65 points - 85 points, fifth in division, missed playoffs</li>
<li>2005-06: Maxim Afinogenov - 73 points - 110 points, second in division, lost round 3</li>
<li>2006-07: Danny Briere - 95 points - 113 points, first in division, lost round 3</li>
<li>2007-08: Derek Roy - 81 points - 90 points, fourth in division, missed playoffs</li>
<li>2008-09: Derek Roy - 70 points - 91 points, third in division, missed playoffs</li>
<li>2009-10: Derek Roy - 69 points - 100 points, first in division, lost round 1</li>
<li>2010-11: Tomas Vanek - 73 points - 96 points, second in division, lost round 1</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
Now that Terry Pegula is the GM and is committed to spending money to build a champion, Ruff will have the best opportunity to coach a contender in his career. When he had the elite players, the Sabres were contenders, going to the 1999 Stanley Cup final and winning the 2006-07 Presidents' Trophy for the best regular season record. But Dominic Hasek, Briere, Chris Drury, Mike Peca and Brian Campbell have all left for greener pastures, leaving Ruff second liners and backup goalies to try and win with. If they can keep their star players for a change, they certainly have the coach to lead them.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-2883512350790008252011-04-28T17:03:00.000-07:002011-04-28T17:03:48.966-07:00A Little Guy With A Big HartThe NHL announced the <a href="http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=561339" style="color: orange;">nominees for the Hart Trophy</a> today, with Corey Perry, Daniel Sedin and Martin St-Louis being the finalists for league MVP. The general consensus is the award will go to either Perry or Sedin while few have mentioned St-Louis.<br />
<br />
While Steven Stamkos had another great year in Tampa Bay, save for the final 28 games in which he had five goals, that was due in large part to St-Louis. The winger assisted on 25 of Stamkos' 45 goals, a whopping 55.6%. And other than Stamkos, coach Guy Boucher had few others he could put on the ice to produce any offense. Vincent Lecavalier had a decent season with 25 goals and 54 points in 65 games, but the majority of his totals came at the very end of the season when he totaled 17 goals and 33 points in the final 32 games. Other than that spurt, he was largely invisible this season with eight goals and 31 points in the other 33 games while missing 17 due to injury including 15 in a row from Nov. 12 to Dec. 11 with a hand injury.<br />
<br />
The Bolts have other guys to help out, but they were big this season in name only. Simon Gagne had 17 goals in five more games than it took him last year and he looked nothing like the 30-goal scorer he used to be. Ryan Malone had 14, down from 21 and Steve Downie's 10 was less than half his production from last season.<br />
<br />
Sedin had a lot more to work with, including his brother Henrik who won the Hart Trophy last season. Ryan Kesler tied Sedin for the team lead with 41 goals and since they don't play on the same line it means there was even more offense because they weren't getting all their points together. Alex Burrows had 26 goals and while Mikael Samuelsson's 18 goals were down from the 30 he scored last year, that total represents an anomaly as he has only reached the 20-goal mark one other time and he averages 17.6 goals every 82 games.<br />
<br />
Perry has the benefit of playing on the best line in hockey with Ryan Getzlaf (76 points in 67 games) and Bobby Ryan (34 goals, 71 points). He also has the legendary Teemu Selanne (80 points in 73 games) and Lubomir Visnovsky (68 points, leading all defensemen) to provide support.<br />
<br />
St-Louis's offense was also way more important to his team as Tampa's goaltending situation was much shakier than that of Anaheim and Vancouver. The Lightning had four goalies combine for a 2.73 goals-against average and .903 save percentage, while the Canucks' Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider combined for a 2.14 GAA and .928 sv % and the Ducks had five goalies combine for a 2.72 GAA and .915 sve % and those stats would have been better had Hiller not missed 33 of the final 34 games, including the playoffs with vertigo.<br />
<br />
Both St-Louis and Sedin were consistent all season while Perry had half of his points in the final 30 games (25 goals, 47 points). While those totals are impressive, I would like to see the MVP be consistent all season, not just have one good stretch. Had Perry played better in the beginning of the season, they wouldn't have been in such a fight to make the playoffs in the first place.<br />
<br />
Sedin had the best team around him and it shows in points percentages when these players didn't score. When St-Louis was held without a point, the Lightning went 7-11-3, taking 17 of 42 possible points for a .405 points percentage and Perry had a very similar number as the Ducks went 10-15-1 taking 21 of 52 points for a .405 points percentage. Sedin's Canucks had a much better record when he didn't score, going 8-10-0, taking 16 of 36 points for a .444 points percentage.<br />
<br />
The most valuable player is the one the team simply can't afford to loose. Each of these players played an important role, but Sedin had others around him who could get the job done when he didn't and Perry was really only good for a portion of the season. Those two can make some cases, but St-Louis is the only one who consistently shows unmitigated value to his team. Last year it should have been Ryan Miller or Sidney Crosby. This year it should be St-Louis.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-5361561916478463422011-04-26T18:33:00.000-07:002011-10-18T10:43:23.560-07:00Top Stay-At-Home DefensemenNicklas Lidstrom, Zdeno Chara and Shea Weber were announced as <a href="http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=560924"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Norris Trophy candidates</span></a> on Monday. As they are every year, these are some of the top offensive-minded defensemen in the game; Lidstrom finished second among defensemen with 62 points, Weber was tenth with 46 and Chara was 19th with 44. Should Weber or Chara win it, it will be the first time since 1983-84 someone won it while scoring fewer than 50 points when Rod Langway had 33. He remains the only true defensive defenseman to win the award as all others have had the offensive edge to their game.<br />
<br />
Some feel there should be an award for best defensive defenseman, something I would be for as they are seriously underrated. Players such as Kevin Lowe, Adam Foote, Scott Stevens (later on in his career) and Vladimir Konstantinov were instrumental to their teams' success. They award the top defensive forward, it only makes sense to reward those who are supposed to be concentrating on the back end. Here are the top defensive defenseman on each team, the guys who contributed less than half a point per game and still made a major impact on their team.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Anaheim Ducks - Toni Lydman</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Lydman only had 25 points, but still finished second among defensemen with a plus-32. His rating was 14 points higher than the next closest Duck, Lubimir Visnovsky who had 68 points this season. His 141 hits were second on the team and his 178 blocked shots were sixth in the league. Of his 22:10 played per game, 3:43 was spent shorthanded.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Atlanta Thrashers - Ron Hainsey</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">No Thrashers defenseman had more combined hits and blocked shots this season as Hainsey had 51 and 173 respectively. He was the only member of their defense to have a positive plus-minus rating at plus-3.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Boston Bruins - Dennis Seidenberg</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Seidenberg only finished at a plus-three, but he made thing very difficult for opposing players.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">He led the Boston blueline with 161 hits and 174 blocks and was third with 12 steals. Only Chara played more shorthanded than Seidenberg's 2:14.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Buffalo Sabres - Tyler Myers</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Myers overcame a terrible start and was a plus-15 from Jan. 21 to the end of the season. At 6-foot-8 he is able to take up a lot of room in the defensive zone, which is why he plays 2:41 shorthanded each game. His 98 blocks were fewer than last year, but he played more physical raising his hit total to 107.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Calgary Flames - Robyn Regehr</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If there was an award for best defensive defenseman, Regehr would be nominated every season. He was 13th among defensemen with 180 hits and was second on the Flames with 143 blocks. He finished 19th in the league among D-men with 3:12 shorthanded time on ice per game. Jay Bouwmeester played more, but Regehr played way more physical while finishing with a slightly better plus-minus.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Carolina Hurricanes - Tim Gleason</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">No defenseman on the Hurricanes was more physical than Gleason who had 215 hits and 141 blocked shots while playing 20:57 per night, 2:43 of which is spent shorthanded. He finished the season with a minus-11 rating, but with only 16 points and Carolina finishing 18<sup>th</sup> in the league in goals for/against ratio, that is a respectable total. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Chicago Blackhawks - Niklas Hjalmarsson</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In only his second full season Hjalmarsson led the Hawks blueliners with 166 blocks, was second with 32 steals and was fourth with 46 hits. Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook were the only other defenders to play more than 2:00 a game shorthanded. </span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Colorado Avalanche - Adam Foote</span></b><br />
In his last season, Foote was still one of the best defensemen for the Avs. That may not mean as much as it did 10 years ago, but no one who played more than half a season killed of penalties as much as Foote who was out there 2:50 per game. Colorado had the second worst plus-minus ration in the league at minus-40, but Foote at a minus-nine with only eight assists wasn’t at fault for that.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Of players who finished the year in Columbus and played at least 41 games this season, Hejda was second in total and shorthanded time on ice and plus-minus, while only accumulating 28 PIM.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

He out hit Kronall (131 to 113) and played more shorthanded (3:32, seventh among all D-men, to 2:55). Stuart’s plus-4 rating was one point shy of Kronwall’s mark even though he had 17 fewer points.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Almost 16% of his time on ice was with the Panthers down a man (3:15 of 20:48 per game).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Those numbers prorated over a full season become 50 hits, 122 blocks (second on the team) and 17 takeaways.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

He delivered 189 hits (11<sup>th</sup> among NHL D-men) and blocked 139 shots.

<b>First Period</b><br />
<i>13:08</i>: Brooks Orpik with the first good scoring chance of the day rings a shot off the post. It rang like a church bell, echoing throughout the CONSOL Energy Center. Quite possibly the best noise in hockey, the super-quick, high-pitched ping is a symphony to a goalie.<br />
<br />
<i>16:57:</i> Beautiful rush by Tampa with Simon Gagne, Teddy Purcell and Vinny Lecavalier. Six quick passes, a shot off both posts and an easy tip in on the rebound by Gagne. They could have easily taken a shot five times, but showed amazing patience on the play spreading out the defense.<br />
<br />
<i>17:43:</i> Lightning does strike the same place twice as Steven Stamkos scores his first career playoff goal on a rebound in front. Like I said about Ovechkin last week, these are the goals he's going to have to score as those one-timers and snipes aren't going to work often in the playoffs.<br />
<br />
<i>19:28:</i> The penguins do an amazing job of keeping control of the puck on a delayed penalty, effectively increasing their power play by about 25 seconds.<br />
<br />
<i>End of period:</i> Though the Lightning scored two quick goals, the period belonged to Dwayne Roloson whose play early on kept them from being in a hole early. The Lightning were out-shot 13-8 in the period, with most of their coming in the last five minutes of play. By the way, I love P.J. Stock as an announcer. Known more for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnjpY9xYtec"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">fights like this</span></a>, once he gets used to talking on air (he stumbles and pauses at times) I think you'll see him behind a desk for a while.<br />
<br />
<b>Second Period</b><br />
<i>1:55: </i>Tremendous pass from Stamkos to Lecavalier for their third goal of the game. Once again patience is key as Stamkos waits with the puck in the corner while three defenders are on him before making a centering pass to a wide open Lecavalier.<br />
<br />
<i>5:31: </i>Like he did last year against Boston, Gagne saves his best for when his team needs it the most. He scored four goals in the final four games of that series after coming back from injury and he has two today. His second goal ended Marc-Andre Fleury's day and Tampa has taken complete control of the game.<br />
<br />
<i>7:00: </i>Stamkos does it again, going to the net for a rebound on the power play. Right now the Lightning are outworking the Penguins in every facet; outracing them to loose pucks and winning battles in the corner. Wins in these areas are directly leading to goals. Stamkos is known more for scoring with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToGNTFShDV4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">his wicked one-timer</span></a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3L37k955VY"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">superior skill</span></a>, but is doing exactly what he needs to do in the playoffs and is having the type of domination game he is more than capable of.<br />
<br />
<i>9:39: </i>With Pittsburgh on the power play, Kris Letang takes an ill-advised cross checking penalty negating their man advantage after just 19 seconds. They needed a goal there to have any chance at a comeback. It seems like a stretch, but there has already been a four-goal comeback and several three-goal comebacks this year, proving anything is possible at this time of the season.<br />
<br />
<i>End of period: </i>The Lightning out-shot the Pens 10-7 in the second, but the advantage seems way higher in their favor. Tampa seemed to dominate and Pittsburgh looked lost for most of the middle frame.<br />
<br />
<b>Third Period</b><br />
<i>2:54:</i> An awful penalty by Alexei Kovalev leads to another power play goal for the Lightning. He high-sticked Dominic Moore on the backcheck even though the puck was nowhere near him. Pavel Kubina scored on an absolute blast from the top of the circle. Along with Roloson's strong play early on, one of the biggest stories of the game is the power play for both teams. Tampa Bay is now 2-for-3 while Pittsburgh is 0-for-5.<br />
<br />
<i>5:45: </i>Another bad penalty, another power play goal for Kubina, this time from right in front of the net. Goalie Brent Johnson took a roughing call after getting tangled with Sean Bergenheim.<br />
<br />
<i>6:36: </i>Rupp scores and the Pens have finally showed up. The crowd, which is half-empty now, has something to cheer about for the first time since early in the game. The goal came on a shot from the slot off a pass from Kovalev who finally showed some kind of emotion a little too late as the game is already out of reach.<br />
<br />
<i>8:22: </i>Pittsburgh takes advantage of terrible defensive zone coverage by Tampa. They had all five skaters and Roloson chasing the puck, leading to an easy goal for Chris Conner.<br />
<br />
<i>11:00: </i>There is no chance of the Pens coming back in this game, but they have really turned on the forecheck and have the Lightning scrambling in their own end. They are hitting and attacking, sending a message for Game 6 that they will not be beaten as easily on Monday. If they can keep the Bolts on their heels and let them know goals will be much harder to come by and they will fight harder to score themselves, they may have an advantage in the next game.<br />
<br />
<i>13:46: </i>In an attempt hit everything that moves, Max Talbot takes another bad penalty for Pittsburgh, this time for hitting Victor Hedman from behind. Dominic Moore responds, proving that stupid and unnecessary penalties are so much harder to kill off. Coach Guy Boucher has finally taken Stamkos and Marc-Andre Bergeron off the points on the power play, giving his role players their rare minutes with the man advantage.<br />
<br />
<i>16:35: </i>The Pens are cutting ruts to the penalty box and Kubina nearly gets a hattrick as he rings one off the post. Orpik and Steve Downie get thrown from the game as the refs are making sure the game doesn't get out of hand and turn into the type of retaliation game the NHL has tried so hard to get rid of. For the second time this game, Rolson tries to settle down his teammates, taking time to get his equipment adjusted so thye can get a breather.<br />
<br />
<i>Final score: </i>Lightning-8 Penguins-2<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Story of the game: </i>After dominating most of the first period, the Penguins lost focus after two quick Lightning strikes. They started pressing way too much even though they had penalty of time to settle down, play their game and tie it up. Instead they gave up the puck way too much and the Lightning's best players played like they should, creating tons of chances and scoring on most of them. Every member of their top two lines and their offensive blueliners were dangerous all day and the steady attack wore on the Pens before long. When they Pens tried to respond in the third period by playing a physical game, their plan backfired and they took too many stupid penalties, digging themselves into a hole impossible to climb out from. Each team had six power play opportunities; the Lightning were shorthanded early and were able to kill them off and buried their chances on the power play later in the game, netting four goals while the Penguins didn't get one.<br />
<br />
<i>Player of the game: </i>Steven Stamkos was a bull in the first two periods, crashing the net and scoring his first two career playoff goals in a game where they absolutely needed him to be their best player. he showed patience with the puck and didn't let the Pens' physical game discourage him early on.<br />
<br />
<b>New York at Washington</b><br />
<b>First Period</b><br />
<i>5:59: </i>Mike Green scores his first playoff goal in almost two years as the Caps get off to a quick start. they are determined not to collapse this year like they have the past two years against Pittsburgh and Montreal. Right now the Caps are letting Rangers fans know <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlgeFRPz4Cw"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">they can in fact hear them</span></a> and have responded appropriately by dominating play with five unanswered goals since that point in Game 4.<br />
<br />
<i>7:55: </i>Capitals fans respond to New York with their own "We are louder" chant. Gotta love when fans of each franchise go against each other like that. One of my favorite memories ever is from last year when Flyers fans did their own ole chant after dominating each game in Philly. It definitely makes the games a more fun and intense experience.<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>13:49: </i>Green takes his second shot off the face this season, he missed 26 of the last 28 regular season games after taking a Brooks Oprik shot near the eye on Feb. 6 and an elbow to the head from New York's Derek Stepan a few games later. If he's hurt badly this could be a devastating injury for the Caps as he has had points in every game this series after pulling a disappearing act that would make Houdini proud in each of the past two playoff years. They showed a replay of the shot and several screws on the helmet came undone revealing the type of courage hockey players have and what they will do to win just one more game in the spring.<br />
<br />
<i>End of the period: </i>Just like the rest of the series, this period was tight and hard-fought. The Caps out-shot the Rangers 13-6, but most of them were from far out and easy stops by Lundqvist.<br />
<br />
<b>Second Period</b><br />
<i>0:43: </i>Amazing play by Marc Staal to take a great scoring chance away from Alex Ovechkin. It could easily be 2-0 Caps right now, but Staal's quick stick saves the day. The Rangers are going to have to be that attentive all game as they are not going to get many scoring chances against this hard-hitting Capitals team so they need to keep chances against to a minimum.<br />
<br />
<i>7:04: </i>Ovechkin gets another chance and flys by a tired Staal before pulling the puck across the crease and scoring on a backhand. It's only two goals, but the Rangers are in a hole now. Both times the Rangers have scored three goals have been at MSG. The two previous games in Washington, they have a combined two goals. And with Michal Neuvirth playing as calm as he is and sucking up any shot near his glove hand like a black hole, it will be tough for them to fight back.<br />
<br />
<i>9:10: </i>"We are louder" chant starts again, but I don't think this will backfire like it did in New York.<br />
<br />
<i>14:37: </i>Great news for the Caps as Green has returned to the bench. It will be interesting to see how much he plays the rest of the game. Seeing him back indicates it is a facial injury, not a head/concussion problem as he likely wouldn't play the rest of the game if that were the case, especially with the Caps in control like this.<br />
<br />
<i>17:19: </i>John Erskine with a hard hit on Brandon Prust leads to an interference call. A solid hit, but a little too early as the puck hadn't reached Prust yet. This is a huge power play for the Rangers as their offense desperately needs to show some signs of life and this is the time to do it.<br />
<br />
<i>End of the period: </i>The Caps learned quite a bit last year and it shows in their play. They are not trying to win this game 8-0, they are playing solid in all three zones and making sure everyone is back on defense while capitalizing when they have a chance to score. It will take an unbelievable effort in the third period for the Rangers to come back from this.<br />
<br />
<b>Third Period</b><br />
<i>7:00: </i>Pierre McGuire notes Mike Green is still on the bench, but has not played a shift since taking the puck off the face. There is a pretty good bruise on the side of his face. It's a good call not playing him. The Capitals are doing just fine and there is no need to rink injuring him even further.<br />
<br />
<i>9:35: </i>Marcus Johansson shows amazing speed and nearly sets up a goal by Jason Chimera. I have never seen anyone skate that fast, he made it from his own goal line to the top of the faceoff circle in the Rangers zone in about five seconds flat. He looked like Pavel Bure out there.<br />
<br />
<i>16:23: </i>Johansson does it again this time setting up Semin who buries the shot past Lundqvist. This officially seals the win for the Caps. It was a beautiful pass as Johansson channeled Adam Oates this time, saucering the puck over Staal who had fallen to the ice in an attempt to block the pass.<br />
<br />
<i>18:52: </i>Boyd Gordon makes a great play in the crease to put the puck out of danger as the Rangers were pressing hard. This is exactly the type of play you wouldn't have seen last year and it looks as if they have gotten used to playing defense first when they have to.<br />
<br />
<i>19:28: </i>Wojtek Wolski breaks up the shutout bid for Neuvirth, but it doesn't matter as there is only 30 seconds remaining in the game. Sean Avery shows his true colors by starting a scrum after the fight, putting the Capitals on the power play for the remainder of the Rangers season.<br />
<br />
<i>Final score: </i>Washington-3 New York-1<br />
<br />
<i>Story of the game: </i>Ovechkin continues to get stymied when trying to score on far shots, but is cashing in on chances down low. He should take notice and stop taking those shots. The Caps have learned how to win playoff games, holding the puck in the corner in the offensive zone, taking valuable time off the clock and grinding their way to a win. This was especially evident during the last three minutes when Lundqvist was pulled. Instead of trying to score the fourth goal, they just made sure to get the puck out of the zone without icing it. It is the first time an Ovechkin-led Capitals team has played a series that went less than seven games as Washington becomes the second team, and first from the East, to advance to the second round. Right now they are looking like a good bet to make the Stanley Cup final.<br />
<br />
<i>Player of the game: </i>The whole team played well, but Michal Neuvirth was there to keep the Rangers off the board until the game was all but over. The Caps were out shot in each of the last two periods by a combined 21-14. Neuvirth was a vacuum and helped control the pace of the game. He made some key saves and gave the Caps the confidence they needed to close out the series like they haven't been able to the past two years.<br />
<br />
<b>Montreal at Boston</b><br />
<b>First Period</b><br />
<i>8:05: </i>With Thomas way out of position, Michael Ryder makes a save on Tomas Plekanec. The first goal is going to be huge and Ryder, not known for his work in his own zone, keeps it a scoreless game.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"> <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MattBarnabyESPN/status/61934960659017729"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Maybe he should do that full time</span></a></span>.<br />
<br />
<i>10:38: </i>A bad giveaway by Carey Price lead to a glorious chance in front for David Krejci. Price gets into the game in a big way as he made a good recovery and stoned Krejci. Looks like goals are going to be hard to come by today.<br />
<br />
<i>End of the first: </i>It must be a warm day in Boston and the ice seems chippy and the puck is taking a lot of bounces. The ice should get better as the game goes on and it gets cooler, but for now it is going to be difficult to make plays. They are better off throwing the puck on net and crashing for the rebounds.<br />
<br />
<b>Second Period</b><br />
<i>19:08: </i>The game is heating up as Tomas Plekanec and Brad Marchand exchange a couple blows and get matching minors for roughing. This has been a very physical series and plays such as this are to be expected. It will be interesting to see if the ensuing 4-on-4 will open up the game and create a few more scoring chances.<br />
<br />
<i>End of the period: </i>There was not too much action to report as both teams were very cautious on the bad ice. Plus I was eating dinner. Shots were nine-six in favor of Boston compared to a 12-10 advantage for them in the first. This game is going to come down to either a missed defensive assignment or a bad bounce near the goal. With the second period starting 4-on-4, the teams may try for a quick strike to start the final frame. This is just the fourth game to go scoreless in the first two periods, with the other three coming in the first two days of the playoffs.<br />
<br />
<b>Third Period</b><br />
<i>0:33: </i>The Canadiens have a gaping net with a loose puck in front, but no one is around to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84VTpDne-XQ"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">tap it in</span></a>. Moments later the Bruins would have a great chance of their own. Just like I thought, the game really opened up 4-on-4 and it's been an exciting start to the third.<br />
<br />
<i>4:33: </i>Marchand opens up the scoring with his first career playoff goal. Mark Recchi is a beast in the offensive zone, creating chances and dishing the puck well throughout the entire shift. He gets a luck break off a broken stick in front, but the puck bouncing right back to him after trying to make a centering pass left him and the net wide open for the easy goal.<br />
<br />
<i>11:02: </i>There has already been as many shots this period as in the second. Both teams have ramped up their attack as they can sense the end of the game.<br />
<br />
<i>13:56: </i>Jeff Halpern answers for Montreal and the third line scores a rare goal for the Habs. They needed a goal from them as they have had little depth during the series after their first line who has been shutdown this game. Mike Cammalleri had the first line's best chance earlier in the period, but ripped a shot over the net on a shot from just above the slot.<br />
<br />
<i>End of the period: </i>Both teams found the net this period, but it remained a strong defensive battle forcing the game into overtime. The Bruins tried to win the game 1-0 after their goal, so naturally Montreal was able to come back and score. It's just like prevent defense in football, what it prevents is you from winning. When they were forechecking hard they were keeping play in the Montreal end and had the opportunity to increase their lead. Instead their will play more hockey tonight.<br />
<br />
<b>Overtime 1</b><br />
<i>1:40: </i>Nice save by Thomas on a tricky Mathieu Darche shot that changes speed on its way to the net. Didn't look dangerous, but those are the type of shots that go in in overtime.<br />
<br />
<i>5:00: </i>The Habs sustain some serious pressure in the Boston zone as they were out for a long shift. This is most clear when Lucic can't get the puck away from a Canadien tied up with another Bruin when he is just a few feet away from him.<br />
<br />
<i>8:08: </i>Terrible miscue by Price almost leads to a Boston goal. Trying to handle a puck near his crease, he loses it in his feet, but falls on it after colliding with Marchand trying to shove the puck in. Looked for a moment the overtime winner would be similar to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXEzD1heawU"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">this play</span></a>.<br />
<br />
<i>11:15: </i>Thomas makes a great save, snatching the puck headed towards the top corner on a one-timer by James Wisnieuski. Shortly thereafter Mike Cammalleri make a great play on the backcheck, poking the puck away from Lucic who had the opportunity to take a shot from the slot. Both teams are playing great, trying to limit their chances and showing the desperation and determination you would expect when a Game 5 in a 2-2 series is in overtime.<br />
<br />
<i>13:45: </i>Bergeron and Chara combine to block a shot on another empty net opportunity for Montreal. Thomas is lucky this game hasn't ended already.<br />
<br />
<i>16:12: </i>Bergeron has a great chance all alone in front and gets tripped trying to take a shot. This is the perfect time for them to get their power play in order as they haven't scored on it yet. Personally I think it could have been called for a penalty shot.<br />
<br />
<i>End of the period: </i>This looks like a game that could go on for a while as both teams refuse to give an inch. Both goalies have made some mistakes, but have been able to recover. Boston had a great chance to end it, but their power play was abysmal.<br />
<br />
<b>Overtime 2</b><br />
<i>2:51: </i>Roman Hamrlik takes a shot from the point, but pauses before taking it allowing Price time to square up to the shot. I have been seeing that all day, they would be better to take a wrist shot with the rolling puck than to wait for it to settle down so they could take a slapshot. When puck is rolling and the goalie is not ready, it can dip and dive and cause them fits.<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>5:35: </i>the save of the season as Thomas stones Brian Gionta one a one timer from the slot on a 2-on-1 rush. A great pace so far this period considering the players must be getting very tired by this point.<br />
<br />
<i>9:03: </i>Nathan Horton ends it on a rebound in front. Both goalies have been in such a zone, especially Price who wasn't running and scrambling around nearly as much as Thomas. It's unfortunate to see anyone lose a game like this.<br />
<br />
<i>Final score: </i>Bruins-2 Canadiens-1<br />
<br />
<i>Story of the game: </i>This was a defensive battle all the way. Both Thomas and Price were on top of their game and when they weren't, their teams were the to bail them out, especially Boston. This may have been the best goaltending performance of the playoffs yet. Every inch of ice was fought for and it was a pretty much perfectly played game on both sides. The few mistakes that were made were covered for<br />
<br />
<i>Player of the game: </i>This could have gone to either goalie, but it was Thomas who came out with the win. His save on Gionta was fantastic, while Price let up a rebound that went straight to Horton. Those stiff pads aren't treating him well at the moment. Thomas ended up with 38 saves on 39 shots while Price countered with 42 on 44. Thomas showed tonight he is a battler as he was all over the net, smothering Montreal's best chances all game.<br />
<br />
<b>Los Angeles at San Jose</b><br />
<b>First Period</b><br />
<i>3:36: </i>Wayne Simmonds opens the scoring on a deflection of a Rob Scuderi, huge goal for the Kings who are looking to avoid another meltdown today. I'm not watching this game, just checking the boxscore and seeing the highlights as the Bruins-Habs game is not yet over.<br />
<br />
<i>7:14: </i>Kyle Clifford this time. I wish the other game would end so I can watch this one. Very similar start to Game 3.<br />
<br />
<i>8:42: </i>Look who decides to show up. Dustin Penner scores his first of the playoffs and his first in 18 games.<br />
<br />
<i>17:38: </i>I finally get to tune into the game after the damage has been done early.<br />
<br />
<i>18:39: </i>Just noticed Antero Niittymaki is in goal when they showed Niemi on the bench. He allowed three goals on just four shots and I think the fact he owns a purple Sharks hat is a reason for his bad performance. The hockey gods would surely smite anyone wearing that thing.<br />
<br />
<i>End of the period: </i>They did an interview with Kyle Clifford during intermission. He has a huge bruise on his face and his eye is red. Looks pretty good for a guy in the playoffs. Jonathan Quick has a good period, stopping all 19 shots fired his way.<br />
<br />
<b>Second Period</b><br />
<i>3:07: </i>Niclas Wallin takes a hit from Kevin Westgarth and goes through the plexiglass, which then pins his arm keeping him stuck in the corner. A pretty funny sight, though he is lucky it wasn't the heavy glass still found in some arenas or he would be in some serious trouble.<br />
<br />
<i>5:43: </i>Marleau scores as Jonathan Quick takes his skate off the post for just a second after he makes a save on Wallin.<br />
<br />
<i>End of the period: </i>It was a well played period for the Kings who didn't sit back and defend their lead. Despite being outscored 1-0 in the middle frame, they played much better than the first. They were outshot 15-12, but in the first it was worse at 19-six. A terrible start by Niemi is a big reason they are up, but it looks like they won't squander another big lead.<br />
<br />
<b>Third Period</b><br />
<i>1:19: </i>Niittymaki makes an unbelievable save on Drew Doughty keeping it at a two-goal deficit. It looked as if he was down and out after losing his stick, but he manages to get his glove on it. It is a huge save as it looks like it will be tough for the Sharks to beat Quick tonight.<br />
<br />
<i>8:32: </i>Quick answers Niittymaki with a huge save on Logan Couture who was left all along in front. It looked like he didn't know just how much room he had as he rushed the shot when he had more than enough time to make a quick move.<br />
<br />
<i>18:12: </i>Dany Heatley makes a save on Jarrett Stoll with Niittymaki pulled for the extra attacker. This is the first time I even noticed him tonight.<br />
<br />
<i>Final score: </i>Kings-3 Sharks-1<br />
<br />
<i>Story of the game: </i>After three quick goals, the Kings were able to hold on for the win and extend their season for another game. The best thing was, while they were certainly out played at times, they never sat back and solely focused on defense, attacking whenever they got the chance, though Niittymaki was perfect in relief keeping the Sharks in the game.<br />
<br />
<i>Player of the game: </i>Jonathan Quick tied a career high with 51 saves as he was under siege all night and responded admirably. Many of the shots were quality chances, especially late in the game. He stopped all five shots from Joe Pavelski and Devin Setoguchi and eight of nine from Patrick Marleau. After two bad games in Los Angeles, Quick showed he has the ability to forget about bad games and looked calm despite the barrage he faced.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-68113297798835835872011-04-22T18:17:00.000-07:002011-04-22T18:17:23.568-07:00Bahston AnnouncahsBefore I get into it, let me just say this. I'm not trashing Jack Edwards because he's a homer. Pretty much every team announcer is, that's what they get paid for. However, there is a major difference in in announcing a game while focusing more on the home team and being a fan with a microphone. I am writing this because he is arrogant, does not know hockey well and (this goes more for Andy Brickley) people with Boston accents should not be on TV. I've been to a few Bruins games, but I still can't find this Gah Den place they seem to play at when I'm not there.<br />
<br />
I tweeted a link a few days ago from the Puck Daddy blog on Yahoo! Sports. But Twitter is not enough, this deserves a full blog post. The video shows <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Video-Best-of-Jack-Edwards-vs-Canadiens-in-Gam;_ylt=Ak.4LLEmCnfjQQEbyIkCChJ7vLYF?urn=nhl-wp2935"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Jack Edwards being his usual loud-mouthed, pretentious self</span></a>. He is almost as bad at announcing as Mike Milbury is at being a GM. Let's break down the video.<br />
<br />
<i>0:53 He's (Benoit Pouliot) trying to make a name for himself here in the playoffs. He's lining up against Andrew Ference, he's a much bigger man and he's got a real tussle on his hands here. Going for a wrestle and Ference gets the takedown, no surprise.</i><br />
<br />
The first part of that, when you read it, sounds like a complement, but Edwards is ripping on him. Since when is fighting someone bigger than you, trying to help out your team and give them some momentum, a bad thing? Pouliot should be lauded, instead Edwards slights him. And after that, is overcome with joy that Ference won the fight even though he was talking about how Pouliot is not a fighter literally seconds earlier. He should be commended for going after Ference who has 20 career fights compared to three for Pouliot.<br />
<br />
Then Brick comes in talking about Pouliot's "gutless hit" moments before the fight. This after Edwards made such a big deal of Pouliot missing the hit. While watching the replay Brick was complaining the hit was from behind even though that very replay showed Pouliot making contact with the spoked B on the front of Johnny Boychuk's jersey.<br />
<br />
<i>2:02 Gives it away to Peverly, he scores. Rich Peverly, isn't that rich.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
Wow, did you come up with that all by yourself? Because that's genius. Isn't that rich. His name is Rich. That took me a while to figure out, I guess it's just too complicated a connection for me.<br />
<br />
<i>2:42 The last time the Bruins had a three goal lead in the playoffs...I'm sorry, we had some kind of electrical interference I couldn't complete that sentence. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
Well Jack, allow me to help you out there. The last time the Bruins had a three goal lead in the playoffs, they chocked badly, leading the the biggest collapse in sports history. Still don't remember? Yep, it did indeed happen and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2ZtT88rUl0"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">too many men on the ice burned your beloved franchise again</span></a>.<br />
<br />
<i>2:55 Hamrlik goes down as if SHOT. GET UP! Here comes Cammalleri, Montreal trying to nurse RIDICULOUS calls out of the referees. Just a great hit in the Montreal zone and Hamrlik trying to dive for a penalty.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
OK, first thing. If it is such a great hit, then how is he diving? If a hit is hard enough, the guy is supposed to go down. The video on Yahoo! cuts it off, but you can see the hit <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCI7Y6i4_vo"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">here</span></a>. In that video Michael Ryder and Roman Hamrlik blatantly hit the boards and go down at the same time, yet somehow only Hamrlik is diving. He calls it a great hit, but Ryder is the one getting hit. I wonder how deep into his ass he had to go to pull that call out. Seriously, Ryder has the puck, Hamrlik comes up on him, gives him a shove and they both fall into the boards. Awkwardly too, right at the base of the boards where they don't give at all, but there's no respect for that, instead it's "GET UP." I'm willing to bet if he didn't play for Boston, Edwards would call <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xAEetam6HQ"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Patrice Bergeron a wimp</span></a>.<br />
<br />
<i>3:13 HE SCORES! P.K. SUBBAN GOES INTO THE NET AND MONTREAL CAN HEAD TO THE STREETS QUIET!</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
I know they're both the same color, but you're supposed to be excited when the puck goes in the net, not Subban. And who gets that excited over an empty net goal? If the goal seals the Stanley Cup then sure, scream all you want, but this is Game 3 of the quarterfinal. He's more excited than the first time a 13-year-old sees a naked girl.<br />

His attempts to shoot the puck past everyone from beyond the faceoff circles isn't working and it probably won't do him any good any time soon, especially on a goalie like King Henrik. If he is going to end up on the scoreboard, he is going to have to crash the net with more regularity <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5-vXMqGVgk"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">like he did in Game 1</span></a> </span>and when he deflected a goal in during Game 3. Teams have learned to get in the way of his shots, limiting his effectiveness. He needs to start scoring goals from 3-5 feet from the net or the Caps are going to underacheive again.</li>
<li>Martin St-Louis, despite his 5-foot-8 and 176 pound frame, easily one of the toughest and strongest players in the league. He's the first player this year to show why hockey players are the toughest, especially come playoff time. After taking a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frN-Yr3Zub4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">stick to the face from Pittsburgh's Zbynek Michalek</span></a>, he underwent a double root canal and played two nights later. He didn't hold back either as he led the charge for the Lightning, ending the night with a goal and two points, both of which came on the power play. In true hockey player form, he played down his effort in the post-game interview, saying he was more motivated by being down by a game than trying to avenge his injury on which there was no penalty called. </li>
<li>Seven inches taller and 46 pounds heavier than St-Louis, Detroit's Johan Franzen took a hit from Shane Doan in the first period of their Game 2 matchup and went headfirst into the boards and opening a cut that took <a href="http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2011/04/red_wings_johan_franzen_shaken.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">23 stitches to close</span></a>. The crowd showed their appreciation when he came back with a bandage on his forehead and a bloody nose and took a brief skate just to stretch out a little. They roared again when he led a rush a few minutes later. Later, he took a facewash from Doan and didn't even flinch as he crashed the net like usual. </li>
<li>Speaking of Doan, I really wish he played in a market where more people could watch him. I haven't seen him too often myself; I have read plenty of good things about him, but it wasn't until Game 2 that I realized just how good he is. He played a tremendous physical game and nearly single-handedly brought the Coyotes back when they were down four goals, registering two goals and three points before their comeback attempt fell short. He deserves to play somewhere more than 12,208 people can appreciate what he can do. Some place like, say, I don't know...<a href="http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/39788-Campbell-Coyotes-closing-in-on-move-to-Winnipeg.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Winnipeg</span></a>.</li>
<li>After losing John Madden, Adam Burish, Dustin Byfuglien, Andrew Ladd, Kris Versteeg, Brent Sopel and Ben Eager, many thought the Blackhawks would be able to overcome their sudden loss of depth. After all, they have one of the best cores in the NHL with Jonathan Toews, Patricks Kane and Sharp, Marian Hossa, Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook. The Canucks have been exposing the rest of the Hawks, flying all over the ice and causing last year's champs to run around, often looking lost. They 14 players signed for next season and only $8.4 million to sign the rest, so they will have the same issues next season. One place they really needs to spend money on though is a goalie not named Marty Turco. I have a hard time beleiving they won't keep Corey Crawford, but they need a reliable veteran to give him a break. He started 27 consecutive games down the stretch as they didn't trust Turco and his .897 save percentage, but now he looks tired and is not inspiring the confidence in the team Antti Niemi did last season.</li>
<li>Brent Seabrook took two hits worthy of following the NHL's new concussion protocol and spending 15 minutes in a quiet room for diagnosis. He didn't go after the first one and you could clearly see him and one of the officials talking about the hit on the ice. One of the criticisms of the rule was what would happen in the playoffs when a team's best player may have to be out at a critical moment of a game. I'm sure Canucks management were upset to see Seabrook out there but that is what happens when you have a subjective rule like that. However, it is great to see some progression and even if the rule needs some tweaks, they are certainly going in the right direction.</li>
<li>Lastly, here is a quote from Flyers coach Peter Laviolette after Game 2 against Buffalo. I believe it sums up the playoffs perfectly. "As far as that emotion and intensity you're talking about, it's called the Stanley Cup. And it's worth fighting for."</li>

They don't know enough to pick the winners by the best team, so a popular method is to choose by which mascot can defeat the other. For example, when UCONN Huskies and Butler Bulldogs faced off in the Championship, you would have to decided who would win in a fight, a husky or a bulldog. Clearly, by this method, that would be a very close game (for the record I know UCONN won and the game was last week, I'm just using this as a for-instance. Also, I can't believe I'm writing about basketball at the moment).<br />
<br />
I thought it would be an interesting idea to try this with the Stanley Cup playoffs. So here is how the playoffs will turnout if the teams with the most dominant nicknames win. For the record, I was 12 of 16 in predicting playoff teams including five of six division winners (everyone but Philly, I chose Pittsburgh) and seven teams in the exact position they finished (Washington, Boston, Atlanta, Vancouver, Phoenix, Calgary and Edmonton).<br />
<br />
<b>Eastern Conference Quarterfinals </b><br />
<i>1. Washington Capitals vs. 8. New York Rangers</i><br />
This first series poses a problem that will come up a few times and that is what exactly is the nickname. A capital is more of a symbol than anything else, but since their secondary logo features an eagle, I'm going to go with that. A Ranger to me brings up images of an Army Ranger. This will be a hard-fought series as both are incredibly proud. The Capitals may not be that big, but they are fierce and if you enter their territory uninvited, you will be in trouble. Plus they can fly like the wind and have amazing vision that can spot even the smallest openings. The Rangers have technology at their disposal, but if they have vision anywhere near an eagle, that's good for them. However, they definitely have an edge in coordination and teamwork as well as a number of tools at their disposal.<br />
<i>Result: In a series that goes the distance, the Rangers pull off the right attack at the right time and comes away victorious - Rangers in seven.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>2. Philadelphia Flyers vs. 7. Buffalo Sabres</i><br />
Once again, what exactly is a Flyer? Their speed and power conjures up images of fighter jets and that will go up against...a sword? A sabre is a highly finesse weapon and when used correctly, can inflict lethal damage. But can it fly? If I have a fighter pilot bearing down on me, guns blazing, I want a little more than a sword on my side.<br />
<i>Result: It doesn't matter who is guiding the Sabres, the Flyers, with a barrage of high-tech weapons, will make quick work of them - Flyers in five.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>3. Boston Bruins vs. 6. Montreal Canadiens</i><br />
A proud province versus a bad bear. Bruins are ferocious, powerful and massive and can physically dominate opponents without batting an eye. There's not much you can do to come away in one piece other than run the other way. Then you have the French-Canadiens. If there's one group crazy enough to take on a bruin, its them; remember these people burn police cars when they win the first round. They will definitely not back down from this battle and will bring plenty of reinforcements. However, they are definitely known more for their elegance than their power and will most certainly have trouble with the bruins' claws.<br />
<i>Result: They won't go down easy, but the Canadiens simply lack the brute strength and savageness of a bruin - Bruins in six.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>4. Pittsburgh Penguins vs. 5. Tampa Bay Lightning</i><br />
Lightning lives by the quick-strike attack. You can easily miss it; blink and you're done. A penguin is among the toughest animals on earth. They withstand the most extreme conditions in the Antarctic where few other animals can possibly survive, but their strength is nearly all defense while the Lightning is a powerful offensive force. Penguins can deal with freezing cold, but extreme heat is way out of their element.<br />
<i>Result: One of the most powerful forces of nature going up against a bird that can't fly? Easy - Lightning in five.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<b>Western Conference Quarterfinals</b><br />
<i>1. Vancouver Canucks vs. 8. Chicago Blackhawks</i><br />
Here we have English-speaking Canadians and a fictional WWII hero against an actual WWI infantry division. Johnny canuck may have defeated a cartoon version of Hitler, but the original Black Hawks were true heroes.<br />
<i>Result: An actual army? C'mon, no contest - Blackhawks in four.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>2. San Jose Sharks vs. 7. Los Angeles Kings</i><br />
A shark may be the greatest predator in the world. They not only inflict a ton of damage themselves, but they can smell something wounded a mile away. They strike fast and hard and when they have you in their grip, rarely are you coming back. A king has the respect of everyone and can control armies. However I don't think swimming is a major qualifier for being a king which give a shark a bit of an edge in the water.<br />
<i>Result: Royalty may have people who will do anything for them, but fighting a shark is probably not one of them - Sharks in five.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>3. Detroit Red Wings vs. 6. Phoenix Coyotes</i><br />
It's something that can fly, but what it is specifically isn't known. I have a feeling if it were something dangerous like and eagle or hawk, they would say so rather than covering it up with the car back story of Detroit. A coyote is a scavenger and while it may not be one to openly attack something while it is at full strength, but it knows how to survive.<br />
<i>Result: The Red Wings have the advantage of flight, but the Yotes are used to surviving difficult situations in the desert - Coyotes in seven.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>4. Anaheim Ducks vs. 5. Nashville Predators</i><br />
Ducks are simple creatures and unless you're hiding bread from them, they won't bother you much. A sabre-tooth tiger was one of the greatest hunters back in the day and even if it is one against an entire flock, ducks won't do much more than annoy it.<br />
<i>Result: Ducks fly together...then get eaten by sabre-tooth tigers together - Predators in four.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<b>Eastern Conference Semifinals</b><br />
<i>2. Philadelphia Flyers vs. 8. New York Rangers</i><br />
This is a tough one. One one hand you have an air attack dropping bombs on the ground, on the other you have the army launching land-to-air rockets back at them. I'm sure the ground defenses are fine, but the speed and ability to fly have to be an advantage in this series.<br />
<i>This is going to be a hard series to win, but you have to give the advantage to the one that flys - Flyers in seven.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>3. Boston Bruins vs. 6. Tampa Bay Lightning</i><br />
As vicious as bruins are, its hard to believe they can do much against lightning. They will certainly offer more of a fight than a penguin, but attempting to claw at the hottest element on the planet most likely won't end well.<br />
<i>Result: Much like the Penguins series lightning is just too powerful - Lightning in six.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<b>Western Conference Semifinals</b><br />
<i>2. San Jose Sharks vs. 8. Chicago Blackhawks</i><br />
Each of these teams have a solid attack and a tough defense. The advantage comes in where the fight is. A shark, as skillful a hunter as they are, won't have much of an effect on land. Once in the water however, it's the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGOKs3WR4Ec"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">U.S.S. Indianapolis</span></a> all over again. This infantry division will find out the hard way<br />
<i>Result: This series will come down to home ice advantage - Sharks in seven.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>5. Nashville Predators vs. 6. Phoenix Coyotes</i><br />
Desert dogs may be scrappy, but how will they handle a 900 pound cat with fangs? My guess is not very well. Coyotes can gang up on them and chip away here and there, but their attack is weak compared to the Predators.<br />
<i>Result: They will just be too powerful to handle - Predators in five.</i><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Eastern Conference Final </b><br />
<i>2. Philadelphia Flyers vs. 6. Tampa Bay Lightning</i><br />
The most explosive force nature has to offer against the very best of human ingenuity makes for a great series. Surely modern aviation technology can absorb most lightning strikes, but when is enough enough? Flyers can take hit after hit, but something will go askew somewhere.<br />
<i>Result: It may take a while, but lightning will eventually cripple the Flyers - Lightning in seven.</i><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Western Conference Final</b><br />
<i>2. San Jose Sharks vs. 5. Nashville Predators</i><br />
These are two of the top hunters in history. In terms of attack and defense, these teams are evenly matched. It all comes down who can go into the other team's territory and come out on top. The Sharks have home ice in the series which will certainly help. However, a tiger has been known to <a href="http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.fugly.com/media/IMAGES/Scary/tiger_attack.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.fugly.com/pictures/12117/tiger_attack.html&usg=__UOWENFzPrk_2gWYJg5AjYMjtEis=&h=357&w=450&sz=46&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=dphPRjMQldSeGM:&tbnh=141&tbnw=178&ei=4dWkTZ-jDuyP0QHLsIDhCA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dtiger%2Battack%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1680%26bih%3D935%26tbm%3Disch%26prmd%3Divns&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=529&vpy=114&dur=4122&hovh=200&hovw=252&tx=162&ty=156&oei=4dWkTZ-jDuyP0QHLsIDhCA&page=1&ndsp=40&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">take down animals that rule the water</span></a> while sharks aren't known to go on land.<br />
<i>Result: San Jose can't win in Nashville, but Nashville can steal a win in San Jose - Predators in six.</i><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Stanley Cup Final </b><br />
<i>5. Nashville Predators vs. 6. Tampa Bay Lightning</i><br />
The final matchup is intense. Lightning continues with white-hot offense while these tigers have survived some of the harshest conditions in history. They should be able to take anything the Lightning can throw at them. They should also be able to dish out a healthy attack of their own, probably the best one the Lightning have seen all playoffs. This will be an epic duel featuring two of the top forces nature has ever had to offer.<br />
<i>Result: Predators may have been one of the top carnivores in history, but nature eventually won over and it will happen again as an extremely lethal attack carries the Lightning to the Cup - Lightning in seven.</i>Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-36209606454191054082011-04-09T09:58:00.000-07:002011-04-28T18:35:24.331-07:00Team MVPs - Western Conference<b>Central Division</b><br />
<i>Detroit Red Wings - Nicklas Lidstrom</i><br />
Where would the Wings be without Lidstrom's steady influence? The soon-to-be-41-year-old is second on the team with 62 points and still plays over 23 minutes a night. His hot start (3 goals, 20 points in 18 games) is a big reason Detroit didn't find itself in a battle to make the playoffs for the second straight year. Runners up: Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>The big question mark here is goaltending. Jimmy Howard has had an average season and it is highly unlikely Chris Osgood will be able to deliver like he did in the Springs of 2008 and 2009. Unless he improves his play in a hurry, don't expect Detroit to be much of a threat. Unless Johan Franzen gets out of his funk, they may not reach the Conference final.<br />
<br />
<i>Nashville Predators - Pekka Rinne</i><br />
If it weren't for Tim Thomas, Rinne would be the front-runner for the Vezina Trophy. In 63 games, he is second in save percentage (.930), third in goals-against average (2.12) and fifth in shutouts (six). He sees an average of 30 shots a game and receives little goal support (Nashville's 2.63 goals per game is 21st in the NHL) making he performance much more meaningful. Runners up: Shea Weber, Ryan Suter.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>Rinne is going to have to be even better as it gets harder to score in the playoffs. They had the chance to put Chicago on the ropes last year, but allowed a shorthanded goal to tie Game 4 while on a five-minute power play. Surely that will motivate them. Their defense, lead by Shea Weber and Ryan Suter had better be nasty if they hope to win a round for the first time in their history. If they play Phoenix in the fird round they'll have trouble, but if they face Los Angeles, they should be able to take advantage of injuries to Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams.<br />
<br />
<i>Chicago Blackhawks - Jonathan Toews</i><br />
With the Hawks in danger of not making the playoffs after winning the Stanley Cup last season. Then their captain went on a run with 13 goals and 39 points in 24 games; they went 14-6-4 over that span and can clinch a playoff spot with a point tomorrow against Detroit. He is more than just points as he leads Hawks forwards in plus-minus (plus-25) and ice time (20:44) and is fifth in the league in percentage of team draws taken (35.4%), winning winning 56.7% of them, the best winning percentage of any player in the top 10 in team draws taken. Runners up: Patrick Sharp, Corey Crawford.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>It looks as though they will play Vancouver in the first round, a best-case scenario for them as they defeated the Canucks in each of the past two Springs. They are going in with momentum and while defeating the Canucks won't be easy, should they get past the first round they can certainly do some damage. As the eighth seed, Edmonton made the Stanley Cup final in 2006 and Montreal made the eastern Conference final last season and the Hawks are way better than each of those teams.<br />
<br />
<i>St. Louis Blues - David Backes</i><br />
It was a disappointing season for the Blues as injuries derailed a promising start. Backes was one of the lone bright spots, returning to 30-goal form and leading the team in plus-minus (plus-30) by 13 points. He was physical, leading the team with 211 hits and is third with 93 PIM while taking nearly a quarter of the faceoffs. The 2010 Olympian is also one of only two players to play in every game. Runners up: Andy McDonald, Jaroslav Halak.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>They need to get a veteran defender. They have good young defensemen, but Barrett Jackman and Carlo Colaiacovo are the only two who have played at least 300 games. they will benefit largely from having a healthy forward unit as five forward missed significant time, including David Perron who only got into 10 games, scoring five goals.<br />
<br />
<i>Columbus Blue Jackets - Rick Nash</i><br />
He's gonna get help one of these years. Until he does, it's up to Nash to do everything for the Jackets. He led the team in goals (32), assists (34), GWG (7), shots (305), take aways (47), even strength (14:59) and power play (3:39) time on ice for forwards. Runners up: R. J. Umberger, Antoine Vermette.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>They need a number one center more than any other team in the league. They also need scoring depth and defense. Steve Mason wasn't terrible this year so they will probably hold on goaltending.<br />
<br />
<b>Northwest Division</b><br />
<i>Vancouver Canucks - Daniel Sedin</i><br />
Pretty much anything you need to know can be found <a href="http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/39611-THNs-Hart-Trophy-Winner-Daniel-Sedin.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">here</span></a>. Runners up: Roberto Luongo, Ryan Kesler<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>If the don't get to at least the Western Conference final this year, they will almost certainly be labeled as chokers along with San Jose, Washington and Ottawa in years past. Losing Manny Malhotra will hurt, but they have Ryan Kesler who is more than capable of stepping into the checking role. The West is an extremely tough conference, but the Cancusk look like they are primed to go on a serious run.<br />
<br />
<i>Calgary Flames - Jarome Iginla</i><br />
Iginla has 15 more goals and 17 more points than the next closest Flame. Take away his poor start and he has 40 goals in just 66 games, a 50-goal pace. He more than doubles the next closest player in power play goals (13) and plays two more minutes per game than any other forward at even strength (16:50). The Flames have gone 21-8-5 since Jan. 21 to get within sniffing distance of a playoff spot with Iginla scoring 23 goals and 43 points in those 34 games. Runners up: Alex Tanguay, Miikka Kiprusoff.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>They only have $6 million to work with, so it might be a better idea to not go after many free agents. Spending too much money for a quick fix will only mean many more years of mediocrity. It starts with the draft this year which is extremely important as the Flames are ranked 27th in THN's Future Watch for the team with the best prospects.<br />
<br />
<i>Minnesota Wild - Mikko Koivu</i><br />
Koivu is one of only three players to have a positive plus-minus for the Wild this year. He leads the team with 43 assists, 21 power play points and 0.86 points per game and all forwards in ice time (19:29). He plays in every situation as only Matt Cullen is also among the top five in power play and shorthanded ice time. Runners up: Martin Havlat, Brent Burns.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>Their top three defensemen of Brent Burns, Marek Zidlicky and Nick Schultz aren't bad, but it gets pretty thin after that. They are 25th in shots against per game (32). They also need a goal-scoring winger to play with Koivu to improve their 2.44 goals per game.<br />
<br />
<i>Colorado Avalanche - Matt Duchene</i><br />
This was a tough one as not a single regular finished the season with a positive plus-minus. Runners up: Paul Stastny, John-Michael Liles.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>They need to start a rebuild this summer. With Duchene and Stastny, they have the potential to have one of the best one-two punches at center in the league and should Erik Johnson develop like he was supposed to in St. Louis, he could be their defensive anchor for years to come. They need to find a goalie, they were spoiled getting Patrick Roy in the first year of the franchise and haven't found a suitable replacement since he retired in 2003.<br />
<br />
<i>Edmonton Oilers - Taylor Hall</i><br />
The first pick of 2010 was on his way to a very good rookie season before getting hurt in a fight. His negative-9 rating was respectable for a first-year player on a bad team. despite missing a number of games, he leads the Oilers in power play goals (eight), shots (186), and is third among forwards in time on ice (18:12). This most certainly would have went to Ryan Whitney who had two goals, 27 points and a plus-13 before getting injured and playing just 35 games. Runners up: Jordan Eberle, Ryan Whitney.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>They are rebuilding and it looks as though they have a solid core of forwards to work with and Devan Dubnyk's save percentage of .916 shows promise in net. Should they get the number one pick, they should use it on Adam Larsson, a defenseman playing in Sweden. They were horrible in their own end this season, 28th in goals-against per game (3.16) and 21st in shots-against per game (31.8).<br />
<br />
<b>Pacific Division</b><br />
<i>San Jose Sharks - Logan Couture</i><br />
Couture was second with a plus-19 and only Patrick Marleau had more goals, power play goals and game winning goals, but it was Couture who carried the team early in the season when all the veterans were struggling. He was very consistent and not counting April, he only had fewer than four goals in a month once. Runners up: Patrick Marleau, Antti Niemi.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>THN's Ryan Kennedy pointed out in a blog the Sharks <a href="http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/38989-THNcom-Blog-Sharks-seem-prepared-for-playoff-improvement.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">below average regular season could mean a strong playoff</span></a>. They now have a goaltender who has on the Stanley Cup and have faced long-term adversity for the first time in years. They could easily make the Conference final or the second consecutive year.<br />
<br />
<i>Phoenix Coyotes - Keith Yandle</i><br />
Yandle has led the Yotes in scoring for most of the season and will most likely be a Norris candidate. He leads the Coyotes and is second among league defensemen with 48 assists and is tops on the team in ice time by almost three minutes (24:20). He was consistent all season and helped the team that finished 24th in offense last season climb to 13th this year. Runners up: Ilya Bryzgalov, Shane Doan<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>The Coyotes are hoping to win just the second playoff round in their history and first since 1985 when they were the Winnipeg Jets. Their offense has greatly improved and though their defense dropped slightly, they should be in good shape to play to Game 8 this Spring.<br />
<br />
<i>Los Angeles Kings - Jonathan Quick</i><br />
The Kings didn't have a whole lot in the way of offense this season, finishing 24th in the league with 2.54 goals per game. Quick is fourth in the league in goals-against average (2.23), 11th in save percentage (.919), fifth in shutouts (six) and ninth in wins (35). With 60 games played, only Tim Thomas, Tomas Vokoun (56 each), Jonas Hiller (49) and James Reimer (34) have played fewer games among goalies ranked higher than Quick in those categories. Runners up: Anze Kopitar, Dustin Brown.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>They did a good job at not burning out Quick during the regular season, so he should be refreshed for the playoffs. Losing Kopitar and Williams to injury is a big blow. Kopitar is their best skater and Williams is one of only two players with a Stanley Cup ring. According to rotoworld.com, Kopitar is still out for another four weeks, but Williams could be back in round one.<br />
<br />
<i>Anaheim Ducks - Corey Perry</i><br />
Perry bested his career high in goals by 18 to become the only 50 goal scorer of the season. Of those, he had a team leading 11 game-winning goals, 4 shorthanded goals and was second with 14 power play goals. He also plays more than any other Ducks forward (22:13 per game) and is second on the team overall. HIs 25 goals in the past 29 games is a big reason the Ducks were able to overcome Hiller's vertigo and secure a playoff spot. Runners up: Teemu Selanne, Jonas Hiller.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>The status of both Hiller and Ray Emery is unknown, but with the best line in hockey (Ryan, Getzlaf, Perry), they should be a challenge for whatever top-ranked team they face in the first round. They were able to upset the President's Trophy-winning San Jose Sharks in the first round of 2009 and don't be surprised if they can do it again this year.<br />
<br />
<i>Dallas Stars - Brad Richards</i><br />
Every game is important to the Stars as they have been on the bubble for most of the season, so when Richards went down with an injury, its no surprise they lost the first four games without him. Points lost in those game could mean the difference between making the playoffs and playing golf next week. Richards has a career high 27 goals while playing in a career low 71 games. He leads the team with 75 points, 21 power play assists, 5:19 minutes per game on the power play and is first among forwards with 21:42 played per game. Runners up: Loui Eriksson, Brenden Morrow.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>Should they make it in, it is hard to believe they will do much damage. While Richards is a Conn Smythe winner, Kari Lehtonen only has two games of playoff experience when he went 0-2 with a 5.59 goals-against average and .849 save percentage against the Rangers in 2007. It would be surprising to see them win a round.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733101559418540842.post-56842972772839361862011-04-08T20:52:00.000-07:002011-04-08T20:52:57.977-07:00Team MVPs - Eastern ConferenceWith the NHL season entering its final weekend, let's take a look at each team's MVP and what to expect in the playoffs. For those teams outside the top eight, I'll take a look at what they need to improve on in the offseason.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Atlantic Division</b><br />
<i>Philadelphia Flyers - Claude Giroux</i><br />
This was a tough one because the Flyers don't rely on any one player in order to win. If Danny Briere gets shut down, then Mike Richards produces, or Jeff Carter, or Ville Leino, or...you get the idea. Each player has gone through their hot streaks, but Giroux has been the most consistent player all season leading the team with 51 assists and 76 points. He's the only one of their top five scorers to play in every game. Runners up: Mike Richards, Sergei Bobrovsky.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>The Flyers are struggling, 2-4-4 in their past 10 games. They have only scored 2.4 goals per game in that span, off their season average of 3.08. Should they face Henrik Lundqvist of the Rangers or Ryan Miller of the Sabres in the first round, they might be in trouble. Good news for them, <a href="http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/flyers/20110408_Flyers_Notes___Flyers__Pronger_won_t_say_whether_he_ll_play_in_opener.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Chris Pronger should be back for the first round</span></a>, it's just a matter of when. Should this team get focused again, they can easily make it four years in a row with a Pennsylvania team in the final.<br />
<br />
<i>Pittsburgh Penguins - Marc-Andre Fleury</i><br />
The pens had to change their philosophy after Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin went down, but their defensive approach wouldn't have mattered if Fleury wasn't able to hold down the fort. In 64 appearances, Fleury posted some of the best numbers of his career with a 35-20-5 record, 2.31 goals-against average and .918 save percentage. Take away his terrible start and those numbers improve to 34-14-5, 2.15 goals-against average and .925 save percentage. He meant everything to this team considering their top three players have only played half a season each and their highest active scorer is Kris Letang with eight goals and 49 points. Runners up: Dan Bylsma, Sidney Crosby.<br />
<i>Playoffs:</i> They are going to get home ice against Tampa Bay in the first round. With their newfound commitment to defense, they should have no problem against the slumping Steven Stamkos. Unless Crosby comes back however, their lack of depth, especially at center, will be exposed. With Sid, you can never count them out of making the Stanley Cup final. Without him, they will have a hard time winning two rounds.<br />
<br />
<i>New York Rangers - Henrik Lundqvist</i><br />
King Henrik leads the league with 11 shutouts and while the Rangers offense isn't terrible, at 2.70 goals per game (17th in the league) they aren't great either. The Rangers only managed one goal in three of his shutouts and two in two others (one where the second goal was an empty-netter) so they clearly depend on him for wins more often than not. He is a wall every night in net and the driving force behind their season. Runners up: Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>They aren't certain to make the playoffs, but should they get in they could give a top-ranked team a lot of trouble in the first round. Lundqvist can win a round or two by himself, but losing Callahan with a broken ankle will hurt as he is first in points per game (0.80), second in hits (224), second among forwards in blocked shots (77) and third among forwards in take aways (42).<br />
<br />
<i>New Jersey Devils - Patrik Elias</i><br />
One of the most overlooked and underrated players since 1999-2000, Elias' seven game point streak (3G, 8P) was the first sign of consistency in for the Devils all season and help ignite a run that saw them salvage a respectable season while being in shouting distance of the playoff race for a little bit. Like many of the Devils, he ended the season strongly, his hat trick against the Flyers on April 1 was his first since April 5, 2006. He not only provides the offense, but is the heart and soul of the Devils as well. Runners up: Jacques Lemaire, Johan Hedberg.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>Aside from convincing Jacques Lemaire to come back, the Devils need to shore up their defense. When Andy Greene and Henrik Tallinder lead the defense in ice time, you have a problem. They also need to find a replacement for Brodeur soon. Hedberg had a good year, but he is clearly not a long-term solution. Their offense should be fine. Expect bounceback seasons from Elias, Kovalchuk, Zach Parise, Travis Zajac and David Clarkson while Mattias Tedenby and Jacob Josefson continue to develop.<br />
<br />
<i>New York Islanders - Michael Grabner</i><br />
Grabner's second half (25 goals since Jan. 1) allowed the Islanders to escape a dreadful season with 30 wins. They were 13-4-1 when he scored during that streak and made them look dangerous for brief stretches. The Canucks and Panthers castoff was one of the few bright spots in the season. Runners up: John Tavares, Frans Nielson.<br />
<i>Summer: </i>Where to begin? If Al Montoya can play like he did in limited action this year, their goaltending will be OK. They need help everywhere, especially on defense. Their top offensive players will be good, but they need more depth. Getting rid of Trevor Gillies would be a solid game plan too.<br />
<br />
<b>Northeast Division</b><br />
<i>Boston Bruins - Tim Thomas</i><br />
Pretty much a no-brainer here. Thomas was the most dominant player for a strong Bruins team. While Tuukka Rask's stats weren't bad, but he finished with a sub-.500 record while Thomas had 34 wins in just 54 games. His numbers are even more amazing because only Carolina allowed more shots per game than Boston (32.7). Runners up: Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>The Bruins are going to be a fierce team and will certainly win a round, most likely two. The Bruins were fine until Krejci got hurt exposing their lack of offensive depth. This is Nathan Horton's first foray into the playoffs and it will be interesting to see how he handles it. They can't expect a surge of goals from Mark Recchi (his six last year was the most in four years and he's 43) and Miro Satan (unsigned, now playing in KHL). Despite one of the strongest overall defenses in the East, they are a Conference final team at best.<br />
<br />
<i>Montreal Canadiens - Carey Price</i><br />
Price was one of the busiest goalies this season and he made the most of it making Habs fans forget about last year's hero Jaroslav Halak. Thanks to his strong play, Montreal had a much easier time making the playoffs this year. Their offense has dried up at times and they rank 24th in the league with 2.58 goals per game while allowing 31 shots per game. Runners up: Brian Gionta, P.K. Subban.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>As good a regular season as they had, they will be hard-pressed to do much in the playoffs. The odds of Price repeating what Halak did last year are slim and they were recently shut out three games in a row. They could upset a team in the first round, but since they will most likely play the Bruins, that is unlikely.<br />
<br />
<i>Buffalo Sabres - Ryan Miller</i><br />
He wasn't lights-out like he was last year, but Miller turned up his play when it mattered most. They went from a struggle to make the playoffs, now they only need one more point to secure a playoff spot. With Derek Roy out since game 35 and Thomas Vanek their only consistent scorer, they need Miller to be at his best and while he struggled early, his play in the past two months saved the Sabres from missing the playoffs for the third time in four years. Runners up: Thomas Vanek, Drew Stafford.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>Despite their late-season surge, the Sabres could be looking at a second consecutive first round loss. They are still too small to do much damage in the playoffs. Their only chance is for Miller to play like he did all last season, but even that likely won't be enough.<br />
<br />
<i>Toronto Maple Leafs - James Reimer</i><br />
Reimer was the only reason the Leafs even got a sniff at the playoffs. He far outplayed J-S Giguere and Jonas Gustavsson and helped the Leafs to their best point total since 2006-07. He started winning almost instantly after being called up from the Marlies and the rookie gave the Leafs look respectable for three months. Runners up: Mikhail Grabovski, Phil Kessel.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>They really need to work on their bottom six forwards. From the looks of things, they have plenty of players capable of filling the net on the top two lines, but they were exposed after that. They also need a number one center who can play with Kessel and feed him the way Savard did back in Boston.<br />
<br />
<i>Ottawa Senators - Craig Anderson</i><br />
He has only played 18 games, but who else is there? On a team where only one regular finished with a positive plus-minus, bright spots were few and far between. Anderson has played great, posting a .939 save percentage and 2.05 goals-against average after coming over from Colorado. If nothing else, he got the team out of last place in the East. Runners up: Jason Spezza, Erik Karlsson.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>In a word, everything. The rebuild is starting in Canada's capital and it may take a while. the interesting story to watch is what they do with Daniel Alfredsson. He wants to stay and don't get me wrong that's very noble of him, but it also may hurt the team like when Mats Sundin didn't accept a trade out of Toronto.<br />
<br />
<b>Southeast Division</b><br />
<i>Washington Capitals - Michal Neuvirth</i><br />
Washington ditched their high-flying approach to the game this season in exchange for a philosophy that might get them some wins past April. Varlamov was hurt for a portion of the year and with only 22 games of experience prior to this season, Neuvirth held his own. He also had a much better winning percentage than Varlamov. Runners up: Alex Ovechkin, John Carlson<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>This is what they have been waiting for all season, the chance to see if their change into a defensive club works. They are 7-2-1 in their past ten and 15-2-1 since March 1. They are going in on fire and will have home ice in every round. The Caps definitely have the best chance to represent the East in the Stanley Cup final.<br />
<br />
<i>Tampa Bay Lightning - Martin St-Louis</i><br />
Steven Stamkos seems like the obvious pick, but St-Louis is the driving force behind the Bolts. He's second in the league with 66 assists and the main reason Stamkos has at least 44 goals in each of the past two seasons. St-Louis leads the team in take aways and is second among forwards in blocked shots and only has 12 penalty minutes this season. Runners up: Steven Stamkos, Dwayne Roloson.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>GM Steve Yzerman did a great job getting the Bolts back into the playoffs, but there is still work to be done. They don't quite have the defense or secondary scoring, so they will likely be out in the first round, second in a best case scenario.<br />
<br />
<i>Carolina Hurricanes - Cam Ward</i><br />
No goalie has played more minutes this season and he really kept them from sinking early in the season. He faces more shots per game than anyone and still posted the best save percentage (.923) and second best goals-against average (2.56) of his career. Runners up: Eric Staal, Jeff Skinner.<br />
<i>Playoffs: </i>They may still sneak into the eighth spot and while they won't be a pushover, don't expect much either. They don't have a lot of secondary scoring behind Stall and Skinner and their defense clearly needs work. Though Washington is more defensive this year, their firepower is still there and can get a lot of shots on Ward. If they do get in, they'll be out early.<br />
<br />
<i>Atlanta Thrashers - Dustin Byfuglien</i><br />
'Big Buff' was spectacular in the first half of the season and while he ended on a sour note, was still the most important player for the Thrashers this season. He recorded his first 20 goal season after moving back to defense and as he went this season, so did the Thrashers. Byfuglien is second on the team in ice time (23:17) and hits(139), first in PIM (93), power play goals (eight) game-winning goals (six), shots (342) and take aways (85). Runners up: Tobias Enstrom, Ondrej Pavelec.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>Their defense isn't terrible, they just need a high-end scorer. Andrew Ladd, Nik Antropov and Blake Wheeler are good, but none of them are game-breakers. If they don't get someone in free agency, they have to depend on continued development from Anthony Stewart and Evander Kane and a return to 30-goal form for Bryan Little.<br />
<br />
<i>Florida Panthers - Tomas Vokoun</i><br />
Take away Vokoun and this is by far the worst team in the NHL. Despite playing on a team that gave up the seventh most shots (31.9 per game) and scored the fourth fewest goals (2.35 goals per game), Vokoun had a respectable 21-28-5 record with a .921 save percentage and 2.60 goals-against average. It's hard to say where this team would be without him because they certainly can't get much worse. Runners up: Stephen Weiss, David Booth.<br />
<i>Offseason: </i>True, this has been going on for 11 years, but the Panthers are in rebuilding mode. They parted ways with a number of players and almost certainly won't keep Vokoun in the fold. They need help everywhere, plain and simple.Tim Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00328512784966461962noreply@blogger.com0
