Lennart Petrell With A Push From Behind On Marek Zidlicky
I think we have seen more of these types of hits this season than any other. I am not really sure why players can’t seem to avoid making that push from behind.
Lennart Petrell of the Oilers received 5 minutes for checking from behind and a game.
Red Wings-Flames quick take: way too little, way too late—again
Yes, the Detroit Red Wings can suggest that they left Calgary, where they completed a slate of three games in four nights, four in six, five in eight and and six in ten, all involving travel, with positives to grow upon, especially given the fact that they arrived in Calgary very late after a draining 4-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks the previous night…
But as the Wings head...

“There are critical points on the table at this time of year and if you can be a focused team you can catch a lot of teams with their heads other places,” DeBoer said to Dave Hutchinson of The Star Ledger following a one-hour practice at the AmeriHealth Pavilion. “That’s got to be our goal through this time.”
“I think the guys are smart enough to look at the game and...
Getting the Job Done
That is exactly what the New York Rangers did tonight in their 4-2 win over the New York Islanders.

Winnipeg Massacre?
Ok, that may be overstating it, but it’s 3-0 after two. PK Subban is a healthy scratch. Mike Cammalleri is taking shifts with the fourth line. Randy Cunneyworth looks lost, coaching a team that has given up 16 goals over 11 periods.
Magic solution Tomas Kaberle is, er, not a magic solution.
When was the last time the Canadiens were in this much of a state of flux? How did things...

Lucic’s Game Won’t Change After Suspension
from Joe Haggerty of NESN, “We’re going to make sure we let him know that we don’t want him to change his style,” said Claude Julien. “The suspension was because of different things.

It’s a Very Mild, Complimentary and Humble Live Blog
I’m no pharmacist. I don’t understand Corsi. I don’t lift weights the day of Wing games to get my blood pumping. Or ever, really. But I’m painfully aware of this: every time I start a live blog out guaranteeing a victory for the _______ team ever invented by_________, who wear the colors ________ and _________ we end up inhaling the exhaust fumes of a team that has no business...
Doughty Needs To Find His Offensive Game
from Nicholas J. Cotsonika of Yahoo, After posting 59 points in 2009-10, Doughty entered last season as the trendy pick to win the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenseman, even though he was only 20 years old. But he was limited to 40 points last season. And though the Kings paid him for his Norris potential – giving him an eight-year, $56 million deal after he sat out of...

No, NHL, we’re not going to ‘be cool’ with a third lockout
In a slate of hockey predictions for 2012, SI’s Adrian Dater suggests that the NHLPA is girding itself for a third owners’ lockout over the course of seventeen years and the second lockout in eight years because, well, the NHL believes that if the NFL and NBA can get away with a “work stoppage” without alienating its fans, ,a href=“http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011...
Jets vs. Habs - my dream game
I wear a lot of hats: copywriter, wine columnist, parent, hockey blogger, etc. (I need to wear at least one hat - I’m balding horribly.) Juggling all this stuff can be tough - obviously Daddy duty comes first - especially since I’m looking to have my two year-old boy drafted in the first round of the NHL 2027 draft (he’ll then proceed to win many Norris trophies). So while...

The points of controversy during the Detroit Red Wings’ 4-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks involved a hit for which Niklas Kronwall was neither fined nor suspended and a goal after which Jimmy Howard was not penalized for punching one Jannik Hansen, but just when you thought we were going to put the controversy behind us, ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun (via RedWingsFeed) reports that the...

The Detroit Red Wings are currently engaging in what is a very, very optional morning skate head of tonight’s match-up with the Calgary Flames (9:30 PM EST, FSD/TSN/WXYT), but the Wings have no option as to putting their controversial loss to the Canucks behind them. Let’s get to what substantive news exists as of this moment regarding today’s match-up, via Fox Sports Detroit’s...
