I think it’s safe to say “Let’s go Kings,” even if you don’t like the Kings, because frankly they came out of nowhere this season. The Kings had a rough season this year, but they managed to just make into the playoffs this post-season. Wherein they proved once again that it doesn’t matter how you get to the Stanley Cup, just that you get there. They took out number one seed Vancouver Canucks in four games, and then did it again with the number...
As Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals are starting, the freshest thing on many hockey fans’ minds must be: Where have the Phoenix Coyotes been all these years? Right now the Coyotes are leading their series against the Nashville Predators. The Coyotes are up by 2 games, so the Predators are going to have to step it up in game 3 if they want a chance at the Cup. The two teams have been pretty even this season as they are back to...
With less than a month left in the regular NHL season, some of the top teams in the league are already clinching their spots in the playoffs this year. The St. Louis Blues were the first team to due so in the West, while they remain ahead in the entire league. So far they are the only team to due so in the Western Conference, but the Vancouver Canucks have clinched their division so it is only a matter of time before they too...
Who would have thought that the first team to clinch a spot in the playoffs would be the St. Louis Blues? Blues fans perhaps, but maybe not everyone else in the league. A first guess may have been more along the lines of The Rangers or The Red Wings, who seemed to be dominating the entire league for quiet some time. Although since their current injuries, they have been a less present force on the ice. The Blues seem to come out of nowhere...
Yesterday was Hockey Day in America, which really means “hey other sports fans watch hockey!” As a avid hockey fan, I hope the NHL’s marketing ploy worked this year. Compared to other sports, Hockey does not seem to get much of a following in the States as it does in Canada. It’s definitely getting a lot better lately, and there are a lot of big hockey towns in America, but a lot of the cities down south and in the Western Conference don’t seem...
After this mornings phone hearing of Chris Stewart for his hit from behind in last night’s game, The Department of Player Safety have sentenced him with a three game suspension. The offense on the ice had so much impact because of the game misconduct that referees gave him during the on ice game, which led to him being ejected from the ice. Since this offense was so critical and could have damaged Kronwall a lot, the department sat down to talk about whether or not any...
The NHL is stepping it up when it comes to player safety, especially with Senior Vice-President of Player Safety and Hockey operations, Brendan Shanahan on the case. After calling a hearing for the Lucic hit, another hearing regarding player safety is being called for St. Louis Blues’ forward Chris Stewart. During the first period of the Blues/Red Wings game last evening, Stewart checked Detroit Red Wings Niklas Kronwall from behind. Due to this offense, Stewart was handed a five minute major penalty for this nasty...
