Julie Robenhymer: To Fight Or Not to Fight...That Is The Question!
During last night's game in Philadelphia between the Flyers and Senators, things got heated and emotions ran high and we were treated to more than a few fights and other extracuricular activities. (If you'd like to watch them, take a trip to Travis Yost's blog)
At that point in the third period, the game was firmly in the Flyers' grasp and there really wasn'...

Richard Cloutier: Blah
Time for a Friday morning blog, but I have no idea what to say. I'm feeling blah...As some of you know, I am sacrificing my flab this winter in an effort to raise money for charity. I am in diet and exercise mode, which is a good thing. Sadly, it's only eleven days in and my digestive system has been thrown into chaos. Last night, I ate a bag of raw carrots while watching...
Dee Karl: Isles: Another Day, Another Player on IR
It was announced this morning that Milan Jurcina has been placed on the IR retroactive to 1/17/11 and will be out 2 - 4 weeks with an upper body injury. Of course he will.
There has been no word yet out of Buffalo regarding tonight's game or starting line-up. Kevin Poulin, who originally was Tweeting his starts, has mysteriously stopped Tweeting altogether. Coincidence...
GARTH: $ ON THE BOARD TIME
Its time for Lindy Ruff to take a page from Ron Wilson's book, and put a heavy chunk of money on the board in the Buffalo room. His team has won two straight games against teams that are ahead of his in the standings, Montreal and Boston.
These Sabres have not won three games in a row all season long.
Its time to put a phat stack o'jack on the wall to get his team...
Paul McCann: Take Two and Move On...
A strong performance from the Nashville Predators last night at the Pepsi Center as they hang a 5-1 shellacking on the Colorado Avalanche. For the second straight game, the Preds posted five goals, only with five different scorers this time and got outstanding goaltending from Pekka Rinne.
The Avalanche could be excused for not being up for this game after hearing the news that...
Bill Meltzer: Stars Gameday: 1/21/11 @ Flames
PREVIEW 5:30 AM CST
The Pacific Division leading Stars (28-13-5) will look to extend their overall winning streak to six consecutive games and their road winning streak -- already a club record -- to nine in a row when they take on the ever-inconsistent Calgary Flames (20-21-6) in the second game of their three-game trip through western Canada.
Calgary is coming off a 6-0...
Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: 1/21/11
Even when the Flyers gave back two goals of a three-goal lead in the second period last night, I never felt like the game was in serious danger of slipping away. As a matter of fact, if the Flyers were going to continue their recent bad habit of losing focus with a multiple-goal lead in hand, late in the second period was probably the least damaging time to do it in terms of the...
Travis Yost: Senators and Flyers Brawl - Again
To say that the 6-2 bludgeoning by the Philadelphia Flyers of the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night was unexpected would be a complete and utter lie. For sixty minutes, we saw a team with immense talent, incredible chemistry, and veteran leadership take command of a game with ease. On the other side of the ice, we saw the Ottawa Senators, battered to pieces, winners of just one game...

Aaron Musick: Sloppy Avs fall to Predators
After the Avanahce's best game of the season, they turned in one of their worst, losing 5-1 to the Nashville Predators.
Before the game, news came out the left wing Tomas Fleischmann would miss the rest of the season with Pulmonary Emboli and the team played like a team that was shocked.
Goaltender Craig Anderson let in four goals but most of the goals were...
Ken Beckett: Duck Hunt - Leafs Ground Ducks with 5-2 Win
After losing three consecutive games and being pounded 7-0 the night before, the Toronto Maple Leafs bounced back in a big way with a 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night.
In his first game against his former team since being traded to Toronto last season, J.S. Giguere stopped 26 of 28 shots for his ninth win of the season and first since a 4-1 victory over the Edmonton...
Tim Panaccio: Michael Leighton Update
Thought our readers might be interested in Michael Leighton's status right now with the Phantoms.
Here is a Joe Paterson transcript, courtesy of the Flyers:
Q: On Michael Leighton
"Yeah, heâs played pretty well for us. He came back, he had been off for a little bit. We went through that Western swing where he had said that he didnât get a lot of practice...

Ek's RUMOR TIP> Trade Deadline is Coming Fast!
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER HERE to find out when I post a new blog AND get "Quick Hit Rumors" between blogs
If rumors are clues, and they almost always are, by now we should get it....The Canadiens are going to add another major player to their defense. At least they are going to try to.
Once again tonight, the...
Ty Anderson: In-Game Updates: Seidenberg Scores, B's lead Sabres 1-0 After One
Welcome to the TD Garden for tonight's match-up between the Boston Bruins and visiting Buffalo Sabres.
In their fifth meeting of the year, the Bruins will turn to Tuukka Rask to shut the door on Ryan Miller and the Sabres as their push for the a playoff run is reaching a desperate stage as they sit 12 points out of the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
While Buffalo...
GARTH: GRAGNANI BAPTIZED BY FIRE
The MA Gragnani experiment at forward lasted less than twenty NHL minutes.
The Portland Dman too a stupid penalty less than five minutes into the game.
Nathan Hortotn set up shop in Buffalo crease as Granani did his best Zoolander impersonation, standing idly by and watching Dennis Seidenberg's bleeder leak through Ryan Miller.

Shawn Gates: Giguere Would Consider Waiving No Trade Before Deadline
This is what it is and I pass it off as nothing but! Specifically, there is not trade rumour at play here, but in the day and age of players who are unwilling to waive the no trade/no move clauses (see âKaberle, Tomasâ), it is certainly worth noting when you have a player stating he is willing to consider it, especially in the days/weeks leading up to the trade deadline...
Richard Cloutier: Oilers v. Stars Pre-Game Blog
It could be Beat Up Steve Ott Night when the Oilers and Stars face each other tonight in Edmonton. Ott and other Stars forwards got under the skin of Kurtis Foster and Theo Peckham in particular, when the teams faced each other a little over a week ago in Dallas.
Shawn Horcoff will be back in the line-up for Edmonton, and will be centering a line with Taylor Hall and Dustin Penner...
Mike Augello: WHERE HAVE THINGS GONE RIGHT???
For the members of Leaf Nation who objectively looked at their club at the beginning of the season, the major cause of consternation was that certain key areas of the roster were not adequately addressed, but the faithful could take solace in that their team had improved in goal and possessed a defensive corps that looked to be near the top of the league in talent and depth.
With...

Matt Karash: Big game tonight
Every time you lose a couple games in a row this time of year, the words "must win" suddenly starting flying out of people's mouths. I am on record as noting the importance of cutting losing streaks short to avoid giving away significant progress made in January that has the team right at the cusp of the playoff cutoff. But to call any single game must-win this time...
Aaron Musick: Hunwick scratched
Avs fans will have to find another favorite hash tag to use on twitter tonight because Matt Hunwick is a healthy scratch tonight to make room for the return of Kyle Cumiskey.
Cumiskey and Hunwick are basically the same player. They are fast, they love to skate with the puck, they often turn it over. To have two of the same player in a game, especially against one of the top defensive...
Ty Anderson: TGTNS: Thank God There's No Stafford as Sabres Travel to Boston
Parade around Boston. Pick up the tab for your non-Bruins friends at the bar tonight. Because Buffalo forward and Bruin-killer Drew Stafford won't be playing tonight.
The Bruins' rumored voodoo doll of finally worked!
Suffering from a sidelining groin injury, the 25-year-old Stafford has simply torched the Bruins every time Buffalo has faced off with the team that...
Peter Tessier: Canucks and Sharks plus LTIR info
I missed the game in Denver due to a business trip in Edmonton which had me watching the Oilers-fugly. That's about it.
In respect to the Canucks tonight, there are a couple of interesting story lines as Kyle Wellwood makes his return to the NHL and plays with the Sharks against his old team for his first game back. Certainly an interesting way to make a return even though...
Eklund: On Nabokov to Detroit...
Chasing down the rumor from Darren Dreger that Detroit has interest in Nabokov...This is not surprising in the least, as this past summer when Nabokov's rights were traded to Philly I was told he wouldn't sign in Philly, and Philly was told the Red Wings had interest then...
However, many felt when Nabokov didn't sign with the Wings that it could have all been a big...
