http://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/players/scott_harrington/144925 Recent articles about Scott Harrington en-us     After Todd Cordell and I both predicted six of eight opening series correctly, we return to preview and predict the conference semi-final match-ups slated to begin Wednesday, April 3rd as Barrie and Oshawa take the ice in game one. This release will feature the Western Conference Semi-Final Previews and Predictions that feature the top four seeds including London Knights (1) vs. Kitchener Rangers (4) and Plymouth Whalers (2) vs. Owen Sound Attack (4). All four participating teams contain top drafted NHL talent and any of these remaining teams are contenders for the OHL as well as the CHL Memorial Cup so these matchups will surely provide some quality entertainment for all hockey fans.   London Knights (1) vs. Kitchener Rangers (4) Season Series: 3-2 London Knights   Key Players:  Max Domi (Knights), Seth Griffith (Knights), Bo Horvat (Knights), Olli Maatta (Knights), Tobias Rieder (Rangers), Josh Leivo (Rangers), Matt Puempel (Rangers), Radek Faksa (Rangers), John Gibson (Ranger...

Preview: Simply looking at the OHL Standings, one would think that the London Knights (50-13-2-3) hold an astronomical advantage over the Saginaw Spirits (32-29-4-3) heading into the opening round of playoff action. However, the Spirit played the Knights hard this season, as two of their three losses were by a single goal to the OHL’s most outstanding team. The Knights have the playoff experience to make a long run but they remain without their top defender, Scott Harrington (Penguins), due to injury and th...

The Oshawa Generals, Ottawa 67’s and Niagara Ice Dogs are represented well for the Ontario contests with three of their own suiting up to represent the undefe...

Between reading the news everyday about the chasm currently between the NHLPA and the owners, to seeing players leave for the KHL, to watching every day pass where a few months ago you anticipated your favorite NHL team to be gearing up for preseason, its bothersome. What is our solace? How are we supposed to occupy our time with some 82 games from now till April slipping through our fingers? Now, there’s a chance we could watch some NHL hockey this year. We saw the NBA muscle through an arduous CBA to eventually watch King James finally get some hardware/jewelry. It could happen, it could. In the meantime there are a few things that hockey fans need to keep in mind. In the first place we need to keep abreast of our favorite players playing across seas. Our own Corey Allen linked up the post with current and former Pens players Malkin and Gonchar talking about the lockout and their involvement in the KHL. That’s the first thing. The second thing is k...

Here’s why you can’t really trust what you hear about European prospects.  Calle Andersson, the Rangers’ fourth-round selection, has been called both a sublime skater and an awful skater by multiple credible scouting outlets.  So which is it?  I can’t say, I don’t get to watch much Swedish Elite League hockey, and neither do most scouting services.  We’ll just have to wait and see. I’m not a fan of the Brady Skjei/Ryan McDonagh comparison.  I get it, they’re both great skaters and play defense.  But it’s not fair to compare the 28th pick to a guy that is going to be an All-Star in his second fu Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:00:40 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nhl/article_external/musings_on_the_rangers_2012_draft_and_other_offseason_thoughts/11415172 http://network.yardbarker.com/nhl/article_external/musings_on_the_rangers_2012_draft_and_other_offseason_thoughts/11415172 Musings: On the Rangers’ 2012 draft and other offseason thoughts http://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/articles/musings_on_the_rangers_2012_draft_and_other_offseason_thoughts/11415172 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png The Pens announced their roster for Prospect Development camp. [ Pens ] [photo credit thepensnation ]   The star of the show will be Joe Morrow, the Pens number one pick last year.  Morrow could make a run at spot this season with good training camp. The camp goes from July 10-14. July 14 is open to the public. Also on the list is Simon Despres, and Scott Harrington. Have to wonder if those two are names that have come up in trade talks at all. The newest name on the Penguins possible radar is Bobby Ryan according to Pro Hockey Talk via the Ottawa Sun: Sources say Ducks GM Bob Murray isn’t sure what he’s going to do with Ryan. The organization wasn’t pleased with public comments he made last month, indicating the best move for both sides is a trade.Sources say the Philadelphia Flyers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburgh Penguins, Detroit Red Wings, Tampa Bay Lightning and Senators are amongst a group of teams that will make a pitch for Ryan.

By Rhys Richards (@RREsq) The Detroit Red Wings face several potential changes this off-season. While the organization waits for Nicklas Lidstrom’s decision to return and considers signing some players in free agency, Detroit should be comfortable as it assesses its new found depth. Recently, one of Detroit’s second round picks in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, defenseman Ryan Sproul was selected as one of six finalists for the Ontario Hockey League Defenseman of the Year. Sproul was selected 55th overall by the Red Wings. He stands 6’3” and carries a rather slight 186 pounds. While the favorite to win the award is Boston Bruins’ product Dougie Hamilton, who was drafted 9th overall in the same draft, Sproul played extremely well for a mediocre Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and was third in team scoring in only his second season in the OHL. Hamilton and Sproul are joined by three other 2011 draftees. The other nominees i...
