Lundqvist's Positioning Helps Mentally & Physically
Elliotte Friedman at CBC Sports has this quote from former Rangers back-up goaltender Alex Auld on what makes Henrik Lundqvist so good..."Henrik is so efficient.

MVP So Far This Season
In January I picked Evgeni Malkin as the MVP so far this season. In February, Henrik Lundqvist took the MVP lead. I am back to picking Malkin as MVP. When I picked Lundqvist he was posting a .940 saves percentage and a 1.78 GAA. Those numbers have fallen to a .934 saves percentage and 1.89 GAA. While those are still Vezina Trophy numbers they are not good enough to be...
Rangers Hold Off Devils; Recap
Two smart periods and one sloppy period equals Rangers win. It wasn’t perfect but the Rangers got what they deserved out of the game as they beat the Devils 4-2. They were the better team throughout and ten minutes aside in the second controlled play, were defensively solid and could have scored more if not for some sharp goaltending by Brodeur. On to the notes from the game...

Postgame: Varlamov Steals the Show as Rangers Drop Second Straight to Avs
It’s not often that you see an opposition goaltender steal the spotlight at Madison Square Garden, but that was the case tonight. All things considered, the Rangers responded well to Thursday’s 5-2 loss to the Penguins. That response, however, was nothing Semyon Varlamov couldn’t handle. Varlamov led his team to a 3-1 victory tonight, because if it weren’t for him, this...

Aaron Musick: Avs get lucky on St. Patrick's Day
With names like O'reilly, O'Byrne, O'Brien and McClement, there was reason to think the Avs might be a lucky team on St. Patrick's Day.
Fans didn't know how right they might be when the Avs won 3-1, despite only 20 shots on the game.
Gabriel Landeskog tipped in the game-winning goal on the Avs' tenth shot of the game. He was left all alone in front of...
beautiful monsters
We all know the Kafkaesque terror that comes out of playing in New Jersey. Well, someone must have given it tuberculosis because it didn't show up.
The Penguins have won 11 straight. This game had its painful little hiccups. Crosby still hasn't scored; maybe we should trade him. I mean he is kind of too pretty to hang out with the other kids:
