During the late 1990's and early 2000's, offensive players feared skating into the Bruins half of the ice when Kyle McLaren was back on defense, ready to take some shots. McLaren was drafted by Boston in the first-round (ninth overall) in the 1995 NHL Draft. He played his first full season of professional hockey at the young age of 18.
One of McLaren's most memorable...

Off to Vegas Again…
It’s been a big week for me. New car, new job, and now, much like injured training camp invitee Kyle McLaren, I will not be around for Rangers training camp, either. While he will be failing physicals, I’ll be in lovely Las Vegas for the 2nd year in a row. Got a great deal too. Last year, we paid $120/night for the MGM Grand. This year, we got a nicer hotel for $90/night...

New York Rangers Need To Add Affordable Snarl to Blueline
As the New York Rangers put the finishing touches on next season's roster, it is clear that there are a few holes in the line up. First, they are missing a true No. 1 center but as I have written in previous articles, I believe a trade for one will be happening shortly.
Next they are missing a defenseman to serve as a puck mover and a power play specialist; not someone easily...

We'd Cry Too if You Traded Us to Phoenix, But It's Time for Flyers Fans to Move on
When the trade deadline was approaching, it was easy to look at two
glaring on-ice needs: a top blueliner and a true #1 goalie. However, no
players fitting either description changed teams yesterday. No great
goalies were really available, and the asking price on the defenseman
was too ...

Upshall Sent to the Desert

Flyers trade Upshall, get worse at the Deadline
Most contending teams in the NHL use the Trade Deadline as a time to
improve their team by adding players that can help them make a run at
the Stanley Cup. The Flyers are usually one of the more aggressive
teams at the Deadline but this season they were hindered because they
were right up against the salary cap. Philly still made a couple of

But Krupp, currently coaching his country's national team, could see his "title" challenged if the San Jose Sharks win their first Cup in 2008, as many pundits expect. With a German backup goalie...
