Take It From One Who Knows

Jerseys from the most talked about NHL game of the year are being made available to collectors.

No, there's been no announcement regarding next year's Winter Classic. Rumors are flying around about Fenway Park, or Philadelphia... actually every cold-weather city that hasn't already hosted is grist in the rumor mill. While we'd love to see the Capitals play in the great outdoors, it's all ...

Anyone who attended the Capitals-Flyers game Tuesday was made to wait an extra few minutes as the Philadelphia Flyers, in enemy territory, protested the way the Zamboni drivers surfaced the ice before the overtime shootout. Both Zambonis reappeared from the underbelly of the Verizon Center, as one of the drivers had a discussion ? or maybe even an argument...

It was a great opportunity for the up and coming Blackhawks organization. After a nine game winning streak, the Hawks were within four points of the mighty Red Wings and had a chance to earn a tie atop the division with a sweep.

Martin of digidigidigi fame drops by to offer up tonight's game thread."Look at us now, busted up and everyone talking about hard rain.
