Double Overtime Game Lost Thanks to Coach Bylsma’s Prevent Defense

It was bad coaching. It is 100% Dan Bylsma’s inability to go for the kill is what lost last night’s double overtime game against the Ottawa Senators. ...

Crosby Plays On

from Rosie DiManno of the Toronto Star, The pillowy lips part to reveal a mouthful of ruin, a graveyard of tombstone teeth and mutilated gums.

(Video) Brooks Orpik hit on Chris Neil

This is the hit that Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik put on Ottawa Senators forward Chris Neil.
