Overtime Again

Some quick thoughts about last night's overtime win against Carolina:Cal Clutterbuck may be the key to this team. It's hard to overestimate his impact on the Wild's team energy. Hope he stays healthy.Nik Backstrom should play every night. Who cares if we need to showcase Josh Harding? Backstrom needs 70 starts this season. Best player on the ice last night.I'...

Benny the Beast

I attended Wednesday's shootout victory over the Colorado Avalanche and came away impressed with the play of Wild forward Benoit Pouliot. Outside of players named Mikko and Brent, #67 was the best Wild player on the ice. He was a presence in the offensive zone and often seemed to make the correct decision with the puck. If his play keeps up like this, he should be a regular on...

The recipe for beating a defensive hockey team.

I found this article in the Cornell Sun and I think this is a recipe for a really boring brand of hockey. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to watch this crap. Just ask Minnesota Wild Fans, we have finally been freed of this mentality. Maybe this is why the Cornell coaching staff wants to get away from this type of hockey. This conservative team scheme that Cornell plays was exposed...

Green and goons give Caps a boost

UNIONDALE, N.Y. | Agitators Nate Thompson and Tim Jackman are supposed to provide energy and spark for the New York Islanders, but on this night it worked the other way. Thompson's knee-on-knee hit on Washington Capitals defenseman Mike Green and other antics by Jackman helped wake up the sluggish Caps, and they rallied from a two-goal deficit to fend off the pesky Islanders...

Pens v Panthers

I'll be watching Martin Skoula make his Penguin debut with a friend instead of here at home. I don't know if I'll be able to recap the game or not. (Watching games with friends can make it difficult to take notes!)Just an FYI: I'm working on a few things for The Show. I've got about a million fan photos (some from last season and some from this season) that I...

Alex the Great has Isles wary

The Islanders lost plenty of games last year, but Kyle Okposo said the defeats to Washington stood out so much that he still remembers them. More significantly, he recalls what Alex Ovechkin did to the Isles in those losses. "Last year, he kind ...

Steven Hindle: Caps @ Islanders | THEO TO START| Nylander 2nd Star in GR Debut

Caps @ Islanders Having been privy to the last game that the New York Islanders played, a 5-1 loss at the hand of the Montreal Canadiens, I believe it is safe to say that these Isles will be easy prey for the Capitals. The Isles were extremely confused throughout their game against the Canadiens, twice taking too-many men penalties and often making defensive miscues, not...
