Cam Gore: Sharks vs Kings Game 3 preview
The Sharks return home to the friendly confines of the HP Pavilion to try and even things with the LA Kings who took games 1 and 2 to take a strangle hold on the series.
The Sharks dropped the first two games in LA, which may be disappointing but not surprising. These two teams played against each other four times during the regular season and each held court on home ice. These teams are...

Red Wings vs Blue Falcons Recap 5.18.2013
What did I tell you? Nothing you didn't already know in your Red hearts: The Detroit Red Wings can beat this team. Chicago is good, but not the invincible juggernaut some claim they are. Not by a long shot.
What you just witnessed was a scene from Rocky. I know Chief over at A2Y kind of has the market cornered on awesome Rocky references, but I need to steal this one. Before...

Valtteri Filppula scores fantastic goal to seal game against Blackhawks
Detroit Red Wings forward Valtteri Filppula has had an up-and-down season this year, but this phenomenal goal showed off just how good he can be. Henrik Zetterberg dropped the puck off to him at the blue line and rather than Filppula overpass as he has done so often, he pulled the puck to his backhand and drove to the net. As he was going down he fired a backhand shot between...

Johan Franzen fires ridiculous shot past Corey Crawford
In the third period with a 2-1 lead, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson made an amazing pass, identifying Franzen sneaking behind the Chicago Blackhawks defenseman. He put the pass right on Franzen’s tape and the Mule walked in and fired a gorgeous shot short-side high glove. Crawford was playing aggressive to cut down the angle because he knew Franzen has a phenomenal...
Brendan Smith Scores Game-Winner in Game 2 Off Henrik Zetterberg Pass: Video

Desperate Times in Ottawa
Five games. That’s all that Jason Spezza played this year before having back surgery on January 27 that forced him to miss the rest of the regular season.

Penguins Playoffs: Pretty Sure the Ottawa Media has Lost it’s Mind
As the 2012-13 NHL season drew to a close, many people watched the Eastern Conference standing closely, not only for the expected reasons, but to see if it were possible for the Ottawa Senators and the Pittsburgh Penguins to meet in the postseason, and to cringe at the drama that would unfold if this were [...]
Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 2: New York Rangers at Boston Bruins. FOOT TO THROATS
Boston has a chance to step on the throats on the New York Rangers today. They say that a playoff series is never a real series until the home team loses, but I hope that doesn't happen until Game 3. Boston was the better team during Game 1, especially in overtime. Hank can come out and complain about his offense all he wants - it's not like Boston lit the scoreboard either...
RECAP: GAME TWO. Your Punishment Must Be More Severe. PENS WIN.
Game One saw Evgeni Malkin making moves.
Game Two?
Sidney.
Effing.
Crosby.
Crosby registered his second career playoff hat trick, and the Pens hung on to win 4-3. If you could sue players for embarrassing you, Erik Karlsson would have like eight lawsuits against Crosby.
Game Two is always about taking a team's best shot after...

Bruins Need Dennis Seidenberg, Andrew Ference Back Despite Impressive Play of Young Defensemen (Video)
The Bruins have been doing fine without Dennis Seidenberg and Andrew Ference, but that’s not to say Boston’s luck will continue.
Dougie Hamilton, Matt Bartkowski and Torey Krug‘s play has been “astonishing,” according to DJ Bean of WEEI.com, but getting Seidenberg and Ference back would be a boost for the Bruins if they hope to best the Rangers. At this point, Bean thinks...
Does Boston See ***** in Lundqvist's Armor?
Joe Haggerty at CSN NE reports that Bruin David Krejci was surprised with the goals scored against Henrik Lundqvist in Game 1...
“But I was kind of surprised with Zee’s shot, and even Krug’s shot, that they got through without much traffic. I hit a post and Johnny [Boychuk] hit a couple as well, so we could have had even more.

Sound off: What should the Blues do with Chris Stewart and Patrik Berglund?
What should the Blues do with Chris Stewart and Patrik Berglund? I recently touched on this topic when I outlined all of the restricted and unrestricted free agents the Blues have to address prior to the 2013-14 season, but I was curious what fans thought about the situation.
There's really no easy way to answer this question as there's a number of ways you could approach...

Earlier this week, Tampa Bay Lightning forward Martin St. Louis was named as a finalist for the 2013 Lady Byng Trophy, an award given to the leagueâs most âgentlemanlyâ player.
