from Jeremy Rutherford of the St. :Louis Post-Dispatch, The Blues plan to be fiscally responsible again this year. They signed free agent Paul Kariya to a three-year, $18 million contract last season but don’t plan to be as busy on July 1. The club is sticking with its plan of building from within. “I think we’re going to be pretty quiet ... but you never know,” Checketts said. “What I don’t want to...
The Nashville Predators have done well to ice a competitive team with the ownership problems they have faced.

Using the technology at What If Sports, The first Sweet 16 match-up of the Greatest Hockey Team Ever tournament features the only Stanley Cup winning team not to have actually won the cup, along with what was likely the dullest championship team of all-time. The 1999 Stars were a solid, if uninspiring bunch that are best remembered for winning the Cup on an overtime goal that was undoubtedly
I know, I know; I don't post much about hockey around these parts, never mind the fact that I’ve watched the majority of the Stanley Cup playoffs this year without regret (except for suffering through the Avalanche getting swept by the Red Wings.) However, when the team you still have an attachment to decides to [...]
This week has brought two hilarious instances of one person calling another out in the media.
The first involved Peter Forsberg, who postponed his regularly scheduled injury for a few minutes so that he could high-stick Mikael Samuelsson. Samuelsson lost a tooth in the incident and Forsberg was assessed a double-minor penalty.

If only you understood the story behind my elation; then you would see me as less of a crazy and more like someone you would like to sit and talk to for hours in sports bar over a couple of beers. Wait…what’s that you say…you’d like to hear my...
