NHL free agency learning: Intangibles matter
If there is one argument that pops up daily on social media this summer, it is that people still can’t figure out how to value hockey players who put up points, yet lack the necessary team qualities such as “intangibles.”
It seems as though half the blogosphere wants to sign the Radulov’s and Semin’s of the world for all the wrong reasons, yet the other half can’t see...
Dan Spiegel: Huberdeau's Bodyguard Has Arrived
Matt Bradley and Krys Barch served as the tough guys for the Panthers last year, but with Bradley bought out and Barch off to the Devils, a new enforcer was needed.
Welcome The Stache, George Parros, to the Sunshine State. Parros brings his wildly popular personality, as well as his large, opaque, black mustache to a team that will welcome his style, and protection.

2011-12 Capitals Awards Ceremony: Craig Berube Award
The Craig Berube Award is presented annually to the Washington Capitals player who had the most exciting fight of the year. The award was previously named for former Capitals captain Dale Hunter, who was a wolverine on the ice accumulating 3565 penalty minutes in his NHL career, which is the most of any player to reach the 1000-point mark (and 2nd all time for the NHL). Due to...
Striving Still for Serial Killer Status
This morning I am thinking a great deal about the New Jersey Devils, a great deal about the Detroit Red Wings, and a great deal about Matt Bradley.
Winners win, and losers lose, and they do so in our sport for very specific, very traceable reasons. And every once in a while a lone figure from our sport steps forwards to discuss, courageously, and with candor, organization’s reasons...

NHL: You can sucker punch people and get away with it.
EmptyNetters nails it:
If Malkin had been injured on the punch, the league might take action. That's its mindset, a crime can't be committed unless there's a victim who is suffering.
In 2009, Flyers forward Daniel Carcillo knocked Capitals forward Matt Bradley to the ice with a sucker punch:

Montreal Canadiens (14-17-7) at Florida Panthers (19-12-7), 7 p.m. (ET)
Panthers forward Matt Bradley didn't like how his club started its game last night against one of the top teams in the conference.
Canadiens-Panthers Preview
The Florida Panthers have been one of the NHL's biggest surprises through most of the season's first three months, but little has gone their way in recent games.
As they close out 2011, the Southeast Division-leading Panthers try to avoid a fifth loss in six games Saturday night against the struggling Montreal Canadiens.
With 45 points, Florida (19-12-7) is well on its...

Dan Spiegel: Skille-d Panthers Still Looking For Credit
After earning 4 of 6 points at Carolina, LA, and San Jose, the Panthers apparently are still just a team getting lucky breaks. Those in the know consider this preposterous as the Panthers remain banged up minus four starting forwards in Scottie Upshall, Marcel Goc, Matt Bradley, and Mikael Samuelsson.
Only a stellar performance by the Kings' Jonathan Quick kept the Panthers...
VIDEO: Jamal Mayers unleashes on Matt Bradley
The Chicago Blackhawks’ Jamal Mayers showed his worth and weight Thursday evening en route to his team’s 3-2 shoot out win over the Florida Panthers.
The worth was measured in punches, and he landed a lot of them on Matt Bradley.
Let’s allow the video speak for itself:
Pens and Sharks
So here's a list of NHLers who have played for both the Sharks and Penguins. Can't wait to get blasted for missing one.
Peter Ahola
Played 22 games for the Pens in the 1992-93 season. Had 1 assist.
Doug Bodger
Pens all day in the late '80s. Played some of his final years in San Jose.

Isles fall to the Panthers 4-2
The Islanders went 0-2 during their two game road trip to Florida, with their most recent loss coming tonight against the Florida Panthers.
The Islanders managed to keep the game close up until the very end, although the team played another game in which their offense was less than par to what it should be. Through two periods the Islanders recorded just 10 shots on net. Their opponents...
Matt Bradley apologizes, is completely vindicated for Semin slam
Our society is one of constant apology, whether it's between friends or between a consumer and a corporation or between a politician and their constituents. It's not so much we demand that someone sees the error of their ways — we just want to see squirmy regret, throw some dirt on the nastiness and "move on."
Matt Bradley began the healing process before the...
