Kronwall delivers signature hit overseas
The playing surface might be larger at the IIHF World Championships, but it would appear that "Kronwalled" sounds the same in any language.
Getting "Kronwalled" also looks the same on any continent.
Niklas Kronwall, who is playing for Sweden in the world championships this year, has become known for his bone-crunching checks and tooth-displacing hits across...

Capitals off-season not short on intrigue
The Capitals were the pre-season Stanley Cup favorite, and justified it by starting the season with seven consecutive wins. The rest of the season was the definition of a roller coaster; as a result they entered the postseason, as the No. 7 seed, with their lowest expectations in recent memory.Alex Ovechkin and company surprised hockey pundits by advancing to the second round. ...

Penguins Plan To Sign Crosby And Staal
from Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Sidney Crosby and Jordan Staal have one year left on their contracts, and Evgeni Malkin has two. Negotiations with Crosby and Staal can’t begin until July 1, so there’s no way of knowing precisely what they’ll be asking for, but Shero reiterated that his goal is to retain all three.
“I’d like to do...

Coyotes Boobs Were Back For Coyotes-Kings Game 2
Yep, the buxom Coyotes chick with giant boobs was back last night in her spot behind the team’s bench and in pretty much every shot of head coach Dave Tippett. Her white doily was pretty much useless in covering that giant rack that was pretty much the only amusement for Coyotes fan in a 4-0 blowout. Still waiting on a name and Model Mayhem site.
One of you in Phoenix knows...

Coyotes fan does Triple H's 'Suck It' move
Of course you weren’t watching the end of last night’s Kings-Coyotes game because it was a blowout and most of you live east of the Mississippi. What you missed was Coyotes fan greeting Dustin Penner in the penalty box with a Triple H ‘Suck it’ that was pretty good stuff for those of us paid to sit through this garbage.
The Coyotes might be getting swept...

Brodeur trying to get best of Lundqvist
Martin Brodeur has the numbers: NHL-record regular-season wins (656), and shutouts (119); second all time (to Patrick Roy) with 107 postseason triumphs, and three Stanley Cups for the New Jersey Devils.
But since coming into the league in 2005, the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist has had his cross-river rival's number, going 28-10-5 head-to-head overall, not that this should go...

Carter's big game keeps Kings rolling
Until Tuesday night, Jeff Carter's most important contributions as a Los Angeles King involved his presence creating difficult match-ups for the opposition, thus opening up space for teammates on other lines. While he wasn't playing poorly, he wasn't exactly giving off the impression of the player who scored 115 goals over his three previous regular seasons.
That all...

Coyotes' big guns firing blanks vs. Kings
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, secondary scoring will only take a team so far.
It got the Coyotes past a Chicago Blackhawks team with no depth and a shaky goaltender in the first round. Then it carried them past a Nashville team that couldn't establish its style and dealt with the distraction of two suspended stars.
But here, in the Western Conference Final...

Coyotes goalie slashes Dustin Brown
The NHL’s Western Conference Finals series has gotten a bit ugly. The Phoenix Coyotes and Los Angeles Kings clearly don’t like each other and it is starting to show.
Aside from the normal chippy hits that happen from time to time, the Kings have certainly gotten under the skin of the higher-seeded Coyotes. After taking Game 1 in Phoenix, Los Angeles was up 2-0 in Game...

Rangers must learn from other Game 2s
John Tortorella did not ascribe any particular significance to Wednesday night's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final.
His captain did.
Ryan Callahan, the heart and soul and conscience of the New York Rangers, sat at his stall after a midafternoon practice at Madison Square Garden and testified to the importance of taking a 2-0 series lead.

Tim Erixon is a Ranger because of Al Montoya
When I get bored, I like to research how specific players came to the Rangers organization. One of the first ones I researched was how Matthew Barnaby’s acquisition led to Brandon Dubinsky becoming a Ranger. Another I did was how Vladamir Malakhov’s signing led to Marc Staal becoming a Ranger. Now in some more research, feast your eyes on how Tim Erixon became a Ranger...

RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT
Rangers coach irritated by ringing cell phone
Following The New York Rangers 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils John Tortorella was giving a presser and a phone went off, which didn’t make J.T. too pleased. Jay Greenberg of The New York Post was the unlucky lad who had forgotten to put his phone on silent, and when it interrupted Torts, the gloves came off. Torts responded in typical and glorious fashion with profanity...
