Simmons: Ovechkin is half-Hart-ed
Many of the voters who determined the winners of the vast majority of the NHL's individual awards for the 2013 season--the Professional Hockey Writers' Association--readily admitted that their decisions were made much more difficult by the fact that a 48-game season is more of a "sprint" than an 82-game marathon (yielding players on "streaks" meriting...

For now, it’s a rumor, but Sergei Fedorov *could* lace up his skates for CSKA Moscow one last time
When former Red Wings forward Sergei Fedorov took the reins as the general manager of CSKA Moscow last summer, the plan was to get Fedorov into the uniform of his first professional hockey team for at least a game or two so that the 43-year-old could bid farewell to the game on the ice...

I’m afraid people are dreaming when it comes to Alexander Ovechkin & the Washington Capitals.
I’m afraid you’re dreaming….Alexander Ovechkin will need much more than Mike Ribeiro to help him score 50 goals next season, recent successes notwithstanding. NHL coaches are copy cats. They saw how effective John Tortorella’s tight checking scheme stifled Alex offensively and that won’t be lost on other coaches around the league, trust me.
What Alexander will need going...
