The Blackhawks will face the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Detroit Red Wings. It's an Original Six match up. It should be a very good match up with the Blackhawk on the rise with players like Kane and Toews...

How do Fleury's numbers and achievements to this point in his career compare to some of his peers? Is he the second coming of Martin Brodeur, or just another product of the French-Canadian goalie factory? Look at the numbers and judge for yourself.

Will Mats Sundin remain a Leaf? Can Ottawa reload, or do they need to rebuild? Can Montreal make the moves necessary to stay on top of the division? Can the Sabres find a replacement for Brian Campbell?

That's easy there was no defense. Ryan Miller was all by himself, he had no back up. The passing on the team was off. There was no leadership on the team. There really was no team morale in the last stretch. They didn't play in panic mode the whole game, just at the last minute. If you can think of any more that will be appreciated. Here are just a few. Thu, 22 May 2008 07:35:46 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/269604 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/269604 It's sauce time! Hot sauce that is.

In a move to produce more scoring, NHL representatives will meet with a handful of players to discuss the possibility of reducing the size of goaltender equipment. Marty Brodeur, Ryan Miller, Rick DiPietro, Dany Heatley, Michael Cammalleri will talk with Doug Risebrough, Garth Snow, Jim Rutherford, and Brett Hull on June 11th in Toronto. With scoring up this year and a boom of young stars taking over the league, officials have to been aware of going to far, I don't think anyone wants to watch a game that has 20+ goals in it.

By hduckwall | Apr 25 2008 Colorado and Detroit; Detroit and Colorado. In the not too distant past, these two franchises were on top of the hockey world. Each team was capable of turning the ice red, and very rarely did their fans leave disappointed.
