A couple of season's ago the Fighting Sioux experienced a mass exodus of players as they lost an unprecedented 5 underclassmen (Travis Zajac, Jordan Parise, Matt Smaby, Drew Stafford and Rastislav Spirko). Fast forward to this offseason; it would appear the Sioux losses stand at two players (Taylor Chorney and T.J. Oshie). While the two players we lost are big contributers it would...

Since the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup (albeit with less first round picks than most think), fans and analysts have continued to emphasize the importance of the NHL entry draft. With the draft just over a week away, it seems like the right time to examine how productive first round picks were from 1999-2003. I will not examine the 2004 draft and beyond, because not enough...

With both the Flyers and Canadiens advancing to the second round on the back of game 7 victories, neither team has had much of a break, nor have they had a very impressive showing. Montreal might have celebrated like they won the cup after squeaking through the first round, but they still have a long road ahead of them if they really want to hoist the cup.

It's no secret, my doubt in the Detroit Red Wings. If you'll recall my 2nd round predictions, while I did have the Wings getting through the Avalanche, I mentioned the possibility of them falling apart in the Western Finals. But then they came out and played so strong they had me choosing my words carefully as I recapped the 2nd round.The Stars shocked us upsetting the Sharks...

If we were to view the Caps as a three-legged barstool that's a little bit wobbly right about now, consensus might be that the weak leg is the team's blueline. A fair number of fans on line in the past week expressed disappointment with the team's failure to upgrade the position at the trade ...

I didn't comment much about Don Cherry's recent undressing of Alex Ovechkin's goal celebrations, mainly because I'm a Caps fan and I'm biased in that regard, but more so because it's really nothing new. Today, Cherry talked with the London Free Press in Toronto, and decided to express almost the exact same sentiment...."I'm saying the same things I was before," Cherry said in a...

Washington Capitals General Manager George McPhee is one tough dude. He has rightly earned the nickname "the undertaker" from local sports media. McPhee has seen the best and the worst of times as General Manager of the Caps. He Remembers when the Caps could be counted on as annual sellers this time of year. He also remembers seasons where the Caps were buyers. One of those seasons...
