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 ...

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...

Round 2 Predictions: Montreal Canadiens (1) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (6)
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.

From The "What Else Is New?" Department: Don Cherry Is Controversial
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...
McPhee's lack of moves help Caps!
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...

Boston Bruins prospect Milan Lucic fighting for long term stay

First off I hope that Derrick LaPoint has a speedy recovery. From the video and the picture that I saw of the injury it does not look good for LaPoint. Derrick LaPoint has made some great strides in his development this season and has played pretty well after having a little bit of a tough start. The Fighting Sioux hockey team will miss LaPoint on the blue line. This was a hard...
