Aaron Musick: Revenge is a dish best served cold

Maybe it's just because "Star Trek" came out on DVD this week or maybe it's because my good friend Rob Ryan wrote a great article, reviewing "Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan" but lately, the Canucks-Avs games feels like that movie. For years, the Avs...

Calgary got waxed last night so expect them to rebound against the Kings tomorrow afternoon. Rob Scuderi isn't going to play and there's no replacement for Ryan Smyth. The Kings will have no depth and Peter Harrold, a defenseman/utility player and his whopping one point...

Tim Panaccio: The Matt Carle Story

Here's a debate for everyone out there in Flyerdom. We all know how much Matt Carle has "grown" in his game since coming to the Flyers last November. I thought his play was atrocious at the start, but gradually got better and agree with the coaching assessment that...

Sam Woo: Preds win shootout; Devils gain point...Scott Niedermayer

New_jersey_devils_20e9
My Take: What can you do? The New Jersey Devils started off 9-0-0 on the road and now are 0-1-1 in the last two road games. Not to fear, this is a little bump in the road for the first place Devils. The Nashville Predators played a solid game and Pekka Rinne was outstanding...

Shaune Vetter: What Can You Say?

Going into last night's game it would have been pretty hard to imagine any scenario that would have been tougher on the team than the events of October twelfth when the Flames lost after taking a 5-0 first period lead. That shouldn't be an issue anymore. To be fair, the...

Eric Engels: Moen with Cammy and Gomez, Habs in Washington to face Great 8

Is the game plan too complicated to figure out? The Canadiens have two options against the Capitals tonight: Limit them to two or less goals somehow (probably would require another tremendous performance from Price, and at least 25 shot-blocks from the players in front of him), or...

Jon Jordan: Mr. Sandman 1, JJ 0/Ducks 4, Lightning 3 (OT)
