You never want to see an opposition player go down to injury this is a big loss for Barriball that has been a pretty solid three year player for the Gophers. We want to wish him a speedy recovery. I looks like he will apply for the medical redshirt which the NCAA will more than likey...

The wheels of justice have hit Michael Liambas hard as he has been suspended for the rest of the season for his hit on Ben Fanelli. I have to say that I applaud the ruling and other leagues should take notice. It also shows that you have to show respect for your opponents. Toronto...

Welcome back to the NHL. Check out this monster hit by Mattias Ohlund on Phil Kessel. All I can say is "OUCH." You have to keep your head up when you come across the Blue line. The part I don't like is someone lays out a player with a legal hit and then someone comes...

This is more that I was talking about. The void that Kessel left when he went to Toronto has not been filled. Also, Marco Sturm has never scored more than 28 goals in a season and I don't see him coming close to scoring 30 goals in this line up. The aging Mark Recchi isn't...

Yeah I can't believe someone would ask this question, you sent 36 goals to Toronto in the form of Phil Kessel, you have two others on the IR in Marc Savard and Milan Lucic. During the offseason the Boston Bruins general manager thought that Marco Sturm and Patrice Bergeron which...

I would say that Marek Zidlicky didn't do real well in his fight with Cindy Crosby. In fact Crosby worked him pretty hard.I would rank this fight as being a bit of a yawner. First thing both guys aren't very good or known for their fighting skills. Looks more like a purse fight...

I watched the tape of the hit and I don't think it's an illegal hit, just my humble opinion, it's probably a questionable hit but it's basically the same thing as the hit from Mike Richards on David Booth. Portwood didn't lead with his elbow and he kept his shoulder...
