This guy turned the Lightning into a cup winner (something no one would have imagined), he [...] Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:27:55 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/289213 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/289213 This Weekly Wednesday podcast kicks off with the buzz surrounding next years outdoor game followed by a look at the top of the standings in the East and Western conferences.

The answer may just be an oldie but goodie! Sat, 08 Dec 2007 20:16:50 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/41943 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/41943 The Chicago Blackhawks have a legendary history befitting of an original six franchise. However, in recent years, that history has been tarnished with under performing teams, unhappy fans, and a clogged revenue stream. Not until Blackhawk's General Manager Dale Tallon took over, that light began to gleam a little brighter at the end of the tunnel. Rookie phenoms Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane have been lighting the lamp for the Blackhawks and the Blackhawks have seen a renaissance lately. Fans have been coming back, and the team has begun to appear once again on television. The Blackhawks have six players in double digits with points scored with Kane leading the group with 25. Robert Lang and Jason Williams follow behind second and third in points scored respectively. Martin Havlat returned to the lineup once again and in each of his two games that he has played, he has scored two goals. The Blackhawks are third in a newly powerful Central division where every team is above .500 and gunning for the division leading Detroit Red Wings. They are tied in points with the St. Louis Blues and have won six of their last ten games. The Blackhawks are also 7-5 at home. Both teams are fast and the edge in rookie talent leans towards the Blackhawks. Plus, defenseman Ed Jovanovski will sit tonight's game due to a one-game suspension that the NHL levied against him for his hit against Marian Gaborik Wednesday night that occurred late in the game (with 17 seconds remaining). Fredrik Sjostrom will be back in the lineup and goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov will get another start. Bryzgalov has won four of his last five and has a 1.58 GAA and a .942 save percentage while in a Coyotes sweater.

A trip to the UC is still a good time, but the air has gone out of the place.
