Now that center David Krejci is coming back in schedule with his recovery from the wrist dislocating hit at the hands of Mike Richards, some are saying ...

The NHL Cap World Is Still Out of Touch with Some Players

Posted: 6th July 2010 by Cory Ducey in NHL
After years of youngsters growing up watching their hockey heroes play, they had two things in mind: I want to play in the NHL and make a lot of money... Before the insanity that is greed crept into the NHL, there were kids that were saying, "I want to play in the NHL and be like my hockey hero." Now before people start jumping on me, saying, "Live in the now," let me ...
The rumor mill makes its way through the NHL like clockwork, and it finds its way to the Boston Bruins with talks that an imminent trade is in the works for centerman Marc Savard. Savard, who turns 33 in the upcoming season, just recently acquired a long term, cap-friendly contract with the intent to potentially play out his career in Beantown. Savard has a limited no-trade clause that allows him to go ...
The Boston Bruins picked Tyler Seguin as the second overall pick of the 2010 NHL Draft. Seguin is a welcomed addition to the offensive core, which suffered greatly in the 2009-10 campaign.

Seguin played with the Plymouth ...

Game two is in the books and while the Habs promised to pound back on the Flyers, the result was the same as game one. The Flyers take the first two at home with a 3-0 lead, scoring two power play goals by Danny Briere in the first period, Simon Gagne in the second period, and Ville Leino puts the dagger into the game near the halfway mark of the final ...
Game Seven proved to be barn burner and it did.  Unfortunately, for the Boston Bruins, they made history in a manner they did not want to.  Being the fourth team in Professional Sport History to lose a series after being up 3-0 in a seven game series. They had a great start being up 3-0 in the opening period only to have the Flyers score four unanswered goals to take the ...
