- If you're holding onto Jean-Sebastien Giguere thinking he's going to get traded to the Detroit Red Wings, think again. There are a lot of rumors floating around about Giggy getting dealt to Detroit, but unless Brian Rafalski is part of that deal, its simply not possible due to the salary cap. Detroit's front office has also come out and said that they are not interested in Giguere and are happy...

The Wings have called up Doug Janik from Grand Rapids to fill in for Brian Rafalski tonight. Rafalski did not skate today after missing yesterday’s practice with the flu. I’m not that familiar with Janik, but what I do know is he’s a defensive defenseman. My wife says, “I have no complaints about Janik. He seems [...]

- Don't look now, but the Flyers suddenly have even more good young talent. James van Riemsdyk and David Laliberte are playing on the top line with Jeff Carter and looking very impressive. While Laliberte has only played in two games, he has three points (2 goals) while highly touted winger van Riemsdyk has 2 goals and 11 assists in 10 games. Its too early to tell if these two will continue this hot...

Christian Ehrhoff scored on a wrist shot at 7:05, on Vancouver's fourth shot on net. Then Todd Bertuzzi put a shot into Roberto Luongo's right leg pads and Nicklas Lidstrom hit a crossbar, but the...

I'm glad we got to talk a little bit about old-timers yesterday because it gives me an excuse to have Leo Boivin as the LotD. Leo is in the Hall of Fame mainly (well, entirely) for his work as a Bruin, so he's not really a good luck charm for Bruin games. Leo Boivin is a Hall of Fame defenseman. He broke into the league in 1952 and established himself as a very heavy hitter who was also an excellent...

And we didn’t even have to use any of the tie-breakers. Of the nearly 100 entries, JJ was the only KK member to predict that Brian Rafalski would score the season’s 19th goal. For that, he’s won two free passes to the Legends Game in Toronto. Email me and we’ll determine means of delivery. Great effort last night. I have exactly zero doubt that the Wings performance was tied...

The Kings hit two posts in the first period. Then Jonathan Ericsson scored 3:34 into the second period when he caught the puck after Justin Abdelkader won the faceoff and fired a shot that beat Jonathan...
