On Saturday night, the Hurricanes lost more than just the game. For the third time in the last four games, they scored the “all-important” first goal. For the second time in as many nights, they led after one and looked great after two. For the twelfth time in a row, though, they ended up with a loss. Not only are the losses piling up, but so are the injuries. And tonight, the Canes suffered...

One potentially key factor on that front is that Kessel’s production last season with the Boston Bruins came in large part at even strength, with just eight of his goals scored on the power play. Only six players – Alex Ovechkin, Ilya Kovalchuk, Zach Parise, Marian Hossa, Rick Nash and Jeff Carter – had more even-strength goals than Kessel last season, and 13 games into this season,...

Anything that allows us to prop up the legend of Rick Nash and simultaneously deflate the overrated baloon of Mike Green is something we'll always take advantage of. Check out these highlights from last night's Blue Jackets-Capitals game. At the 1:30 mark, Nash embarrases Green: Wow. "Hans Jonsson" are two words that come to mind when watching that. We actually think Green displays better...

Photo by Ghost_Bear . On a night when the Caps nearly came from behind to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team did something else to help cement their identity as a D.C. institution. With 8:35 remaining in the third period, and both teams readying for a faceoff in the Capitals' defensive end, the team's sound crew played Chuck Brown's "Bustin' Loose" over the arena speaker system. Predictably,...

In the short term, R.J. Umberger ended a wild and entertaining 5-4 victory for the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday evening at Verizon Center by scoring in overtime on a pass from Rick Nash. Of more pressing concern for the Washington Capitals is their hurting superstar. Alex Ovechkin left the game with what appeared to be an arm/shoulder/chest injury in the second period. Ovechkin leveled Jason Chimera...

Yeah... Onto the Battle Damage Assessment... THE GOOD: Brooks "and Dunn" Laich with two goals tonight in the third period along with Quintin "Human Bruise" Lang going to the front of the net to get rebound goals on Steve Mason. The "spell" he had on the Caps seems to be broken. And speaking of that spell, scoring on Mason in the first period was huge. It certainly kept...

Game 13 Penguins (10-2-0, 20 pts ) at Blue Jackets (6-5-0, 12 pts ) Nash is really good, but not as good as the two on the other card... Why does it matter? This game would have been more interesting two weeks ago when Columbus was 5-1. Now they're 6-5 and playing really poorly. This game is interesting if only to see how much the Hockey Gods can heap on the Pens before they crack. What has been happening...
