Daniel Alfredsson loses a skate blade during Game 4 versus Pittsburgh (VIDEO)
YouTube
You hear of hockey players losing “an edge” all the time. Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson lost both edges Wednesday night in Ottawa as his skate blade fell off during Game 4 against the Penguins.
Alfredsson hit Pittsburgh’s Mark Eaton behind the net when the heel of his skate got wedged between the ice and the boards. The blade was knocked right out of his skate...
Paul MacLean keeps it brief after Senators’ loss to Pittsburgh
The Ottawa Senators had a rough night in their own barn, dropping a 7-3 decision to the Pittsburgh Penguins, who now lead the teams' second-round series 3 games to 1, and Yahoo Sports' Sean Leahy reports that Senators coach Paul MacLean held a short press conference. Short doesn't begin to describe it, but its description would probably read longer than what MacLean had...
Senators Coach Paul MacLean Holds 20-Second Press Conference After Blowout Loss to Penguins (Video)
To say that Ottawa Senators head coach Paul MacLean kept things brief after his team was manhandled in a 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday would an understatement
MacLean did not take questions from the assembled media after the game, instead issuing one quick statement before walking away from the podium in a news conference that lasted all of 20 seconds.
“I think everything’s...
Annual Report Card: Jonathan Blum
Photo Credit: Sarah Fuqua
Jonathon Blum blasted onto the scene in the 2010-2011 season, but showed signs of regression in his sophomore campaign. Still, expectations for the young American defensemen were high going into the 2012-2013 season. Roman Josi was touted to replace Suter on the top pairing, but could Blum fill Josi’s role on the second defensemen pairing?
From one year...

I KNOW YOU'RE ALL FEELING THE DARKNESS HERE TODAY
Don't treat it like a chore. Treat it like a mission.The Rangers are down 3-0 to the Bruins because they can't do anything right and the Bruins are using black magic and craft beer to curry favor with the hockey gods. LA/SJS series is tied. Detroit is embarrassing Chicago little by little. We need to be part of this dance, this dance that feels real for the first...
Daniel Alfredsson Says Senators Will ‘Probably Not’ Come Back to Beat Penguins
The Ottawa Senators had the opportunity to pull even with the top-seeded Penguins on Wednesday, but they were instead handed a demoralizing 7-3 loss on their home ice.
The rout gave Pittsburgh a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals, raising the question of whether or not the Sens have a chance to come back against a high-flying Penguins squad led by the NHL’s...

If you watch this enough times you can actually see Chris Phillips signing his retirement papers. What a disgusting move.
Holland, Babcock and the Red Wings’ players discuss ‘rebuilding on the fly’
Over the course of the both the Red Wings-Ducks and Red Wings-Blackhawks series, Ken Holland and Mike Babcock's roles on Detroit's "rebuilding on the fly" season (which, as the Oakland Press's Pat Caputo noted this afternoon, does not involve tanking to be bad enough for long enough to stockpile high draft picks like the Blackhawks did), and with the Grand Rapids...

So top ten things you don't want to hear from your captain after a tough loss? This is all ten:
Alfie when asked if they can come back. "Probably not. They have too much depth." #Sens

Yikes.

Stanley Cup Playoffs: Eastern Conference Semi-Final: Game 4 – Penguins vs. Senators.
After having their series lead cut in half by a stunning 2 to 1 overtime victory by the Senators Sunday evening, the Penguins were looking to rebound with a decisive victory and take a third game in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Semi-Final. Ottawa, riding the momentum of both the victory and home ice advantage, was looking to tie the series at a two apiece.
Despite being...
Red Wings evening multimedia: spotlighting Patrick Eaves and previewing Game 4
The Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association named Patrick Eaves their nominee for the Masterton Trophy, which recognizes perseverance and dedication to hockey, because Eaves successfully recovered from a concussion that consumed 13 months of his professional career.
I don't think that anyone, including the Red Wings, imagined that Eaves would have become so invaluable to the...
Providence Bruins Blow 3-0 Lead in AHL Playoffs, Fall to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in Game 7
Bruins fans, look away.
After winning the first three games of their Eastern Conference semifinal series, the B’s AHL affiliate in Providence proceeded to drop four straight to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (Pittsburgh’s farm club), who completed the comeback with a 5-0 shellacking of the P-Bruins on their home ice Wednesday night.

Not tonight.

Sharks-Kings Preview
Kings goalie Jonathan Quick sometimes seems to be the only obstacle between San Jose and the Western Conference finals while the Sharks dominate much of their 2-2 series with the defending Stanley Cup champions.
And if Quick needed any extra motivation to stop the Sharks again in the pivotal Game 5 on Thursday night, TJ Galiardi provided it.
Galiardi accused the Conn Smythe Trophy...
TRH 2ND ROUND PLAYOFF RECAP 4 - SAN JOSE SHARKS: FOUR GET
*THE FOLLOWING BELOW IS NOT WRITTEN BY THE ROYAL HALF,
BUT RATHER PUMPERNICHOLL, OUR MASTER RECAPPER*
KINGS 2, SHARKS 2
The maddening conclusion of Games 2 and 3 left both fan bases bitter. Borderline calls by the referees had swung the momentum for opposing teams in each game and ultimately decided the outcome. Fans don't go to hockey games to watch the referees...
Daniel Alfredsson loses skate blade, hops on one leg to bench
Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson was forechecking in the Pittsburgh Penguins zone when he collided with defenseman Mark Eaton and his foot slammed into the boards. The force caused the steel of his skate to pop out and resulted in some comical video of Alfredsson falling on the ice and then hopping to the bench. Alfredsson had no clue the steel had popped out of his...
Chris Phillips makes clutch diving toe save on Sidney Crosby
In the first period the Pittsburgh Penguins were on the power play when Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson was caught out of position. Lucky for him, his defenseman Chris Phillips was there to bail him out and made an awesome diving toe save on Sidney Crosby to keep their one goal lead. Plays like these are what the Senators needs if they’re going to find a way to upset...
Dee Karl: NHL14 Cover Vote & U Maine
As I've said previously, Colin McDonald is one of the most entertaining Islanders on the team. He's also a great sport. Maybe not the world's greatest actor, but seriously a great sport.
Have you voted today?
Now, for the rediculous. If in deed U Maine is tossing around Jack Capuano's name as a candidate for their next coach, it's beyond laughable....
Offseason Evaluation: Jeff Schultz
Ah, Sarge. A moment of glory. (WaPo)
As the Washington Capitals’ 2013 season has come to a close, and many words have been written about the team as a whole, it’s now time to look at this club at an individual level. As such, we will be taking a look at each player who played a significant role on the club this season and what they could bring in the future. Next up is...
Jan Levine: Game 3: BOS 2 NYR 1, Outplayed, Outworked, Outhustled, Outlucked
The Rangers seemed impenetrable when leading after two periods, that veneer is now gone as the Bruins came back from a 1-0 deficit after two to win 2-1 and take a commanding 3-0 series lead. I would love to say that I was shocked by the events in the third period past night, but that would be a lie. After the Rangers scored to make it 1-0, the ice tilted and it was all Boston. The...
Kings expected to tweak forward lines for Game 5
LOS ANGELES After being limited to one goal in each of the last two games against the San Jose Sharks, Kings coach Darryl Sutter looks like he is ready to shake up his line combinations for the pivotal Game 5 on Thursday night at Staples Center.
One goal is not going to win us many games, said forward Justin Williams. Plain and simple. Scorers got to score. Got to play better....
