NHL Award Nominees Announced
Over the last couple of weeks the NHL has announced the nominees for the year end awards. Earlier I posted the people that I would vote for if I had an award ballot. That is not my predictions about who will get nominated, but rather who I think is deserving. Now that we have seen the nominees, I want to comment upon who I think should win the award and what the nominations...

Richard Cloutier: Professional Hockey Writers' Association is a Joke
So who's going to win the Calder Trophy as best rookie in the NHL this season, Nail Yakupov or Justin Schultz?
Try neither. They're not even on the ballot.
The winner will come from the following group: Brendan Gallagher, Jonathan Huberdeau or Brandon Saad. To be honest with you, I'm not sure if I'd put any of these three in my final group. Huberdeau, maybe...

Conditioning, injuries derailed Panthers season
SUNRISE, Fla. Days before the Florida Panthers opened training camp, Shawn Matthias made a prediction.
"It's going to show pretty quickly who did the work while we were off," Matthias said. "If you took any weeks off or thought it was a good time to slack, it is going to show in these 48 games."
For the Panthers, in this lockout-shortened season, it showed...

Panthers finish with worst record in NHL
The Florida Panthers enjoyed a memorable night when they opened the 2013 NHL season. They watched the unveiling of their 2012 Southeast Division championship banner at BB&T Center, then recorded a convincing 5-1 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes thanks to goals by prized rookie Jonathan Huberdeau and soon-to-be 40-year-old Alex Kovalev.
Unfortunately for the Panthers,...

Jan Levine: Game 43: NYR 6 FLA 1, Better Effort, Bigger Test Tonight Against Buffalo
The Rangers had a better but not great effort to defeat the Panthers 6-1 on Thursday. Two first period power play goals - who would have thought two in the game, let alone two in the period - staked the Blueshirts to a 2-0 lead. A stunning move by Jonathan Huberdeau, who faked Mats Zuccarello out and then beat Henrik Lundqvist, made it 2-1. More concerning was the Florida pinned...

However, in this man’s sport every season fresh-faced boys make their way into the league and make an impact as soon as their skates hit the ice.Over the years these young kids start to build up, and in some cases, before they can even legally drink a beer, they are...
Ian Esplen: Two Best Calder Candidates No One Is Talking About
Follow me on twitter @IanEsplen to chat hockey, sports and life in general anytime The other day, Ek made a case for Jonathan Huberdeau as the leading candidate to take home the Calder in a few months.

Paul MacLean Should Win Jack Adams Award If Senators Make Playoffs (Video)
There is still 2 1/2 weeks left in the NHL season, but it’s never too early to start talking about awards.
The Instigators talked about the Jack Adams Award and the Calder Memorial Trophy on this week’s “Two Minutes for Instigating.” Barry Pederson thinks that Paul MacLean should win the Jack Adams if the Senators make the playoffs. If Ottawa misses the cut, Pederson thinks...

Rookie Of The Year
Early in February I picked Cory Conacher of the Tampa Bay Lightning as the early season rookie of the year. He was the clear leader in points among rookies. This was due in part to playing with some high octane teammates in Martin St Louis and Steve Stamkos in some protected time. Conacher is weak defensively and this is why he spent several years in the AHL despite success...
