3rd Round Playoff Matchups
Eastern Conference
Pittsburgh is the first team to return to the Finals with two different coaches since the Pittsburgh teams of 1991 and 1992. Getting close to the Cup and losing is not a pleasant experience, so the Penguins don’t want to repeat that once again. Hurricanes winger Scott Walker says the Pens [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Wrath of Danks
We have all heard the term “Nice Guys Finish Last”…especially if you are a nice guy. Well, the Carolina/Boston series proved that the NHL subscribes to this notion. Maybe not so much that “Nice Guys Finish Last”...but certainly that “Punks Finish First”.Scott Walker is a punk. No matter how many times his teammates defend him.No matter how many times we hear that his...

Now THAT Is How You Have Some Game 7s!!!
The NHL disappointed on Wednesday night. With the evening all too itself, the Washington Ovechkins and Pittsburgh Crosbys had their sudden-death duel to see who moves on and whose season ends. We all knew that it was going to be great theatre.Until the Pens went up 5-0 before closing out the game 6-2.That sucks. But all we had to do was wait one more night to get that satisfaction...

Anyone confused with the leagues ruling?
Let me get this right; saying sloppy seconds gets you suspended for 6 games, ok. So which is worse a crude statement or punching an un-expecting opponent? You would think the sucker punch right? Apparently it is ok to sucker punch your opponent possibly breaking his face and causing him to miss a game and possibly the rest of the series. Mind you this thug hit his opponent while...

Scottie has probably got sore knuckles.
I think I have lost all respect for Canes coach Paul Maurice (not that I had that much before this game) when the coach was asked by the media what are the ramifications of the Scott Walker situation/sucker punch. The smart assed Maurice replied, "Scott probably has sore knuckles," he said. Asked if the NHL might fine his winger, Maurice quipped: "I may have to sell...

Scott Walker Labels Aaron Ward With A Cheap Shot
The league has to review this play, this is suspension worthy. I would say about 4-5 games at least. I don’t care what some homer writer from Carolina has to say, this was a cheap sucker punch. Back in 1995 when Rangers goon Tie Domi sucker punched the gutless puke Ulf Samuelsson and he got 8 games. In my opinion Scott Walker broke the code by punching a guy that wasn't ready...
