Alright, before I completely geek out about everything that was awesome about yesterday, let's recap the holy-crap-not-so-awesome: - Jonathan Ericsson appears to have caught the flu. Thanks bunches, Edmonton. - Jason Williams tried to take Brad May's eye out last night; he should be fine , but that was a little scary, and logistically, we don't need another man down. - Not a single kid showed up to...

Oh. You say I should be? You say that you just watched your team lose two games in their superstars' homeland? That you saw them play ten or fifteen spectacular minutes at a time that were followed by twenty or thirty ridiculously awful ones? That they fell apart faster than tissue paper in the rain? That when you think about your goaltenders, you sort of throw up a little in your mouth? If that's...

By now you've all likely seen THE Gustavsson save from this game but it's hard to understand how crazy the reaction was to the save. People leapt from their seats and gave The Monster a prolonged ovation and spent from the until the end of the game saying some variation of "HOLY CRAP DID YOU SEE THAT SAVE?!?!". One insane group of fans even went so far as to try to get a chant of "We...

The Rangers learned tonight that Sean Avery has a sprained right knee resulting from the knee-on-knee collision with Ryan Callahan at this morning's skate. "He'll be out for a little bit, just not sure how many days," John Tortorella said after the 4-2 preseason victory over the Red Wings at the Garden. "Depends how quickly guys heal; some guys heal quicker." Ah, tell that to Marian...

The Penguins and numerous other teams have shipped their prospects too exotic locales such as Kitchener, Ont. and Traverse City, Mich. for prospect tournaments. Franchises see these get-togethers as important ways to measure and cultivate their developing talent.

I chatted with Andreas Lilja this morning, and he sounded as good as he has since he first suffered a concussion Feb. 28 while fighting Shea Weber. Lilja hasn't played since, and there's been some doubt whether he'd be able to suit up again, but he is doing much better. "It's better — a lot better. It's going the right way and hopefully I can...

From John Kresier at NHL.com: Try as they might, NHL general managers know most of the players they select during the Entry Draft never will wear an NHL sweater. The object is to get maximum value out of their picks—finding the stars they need to build a team around, the role players to support them and the depth to trade for what they can’t find. Obviously some teams are better at this...

One way you know it was a great game seven is that there just wasn’t much to say about it. It completely spoke for itself. The Penguins were flawless for two periods and strong enough for the third. Defenseman Brad Stuart, whose turnovers and pinching led to both game seven Penguin goals, says he’d like a [...]
