Rumors
- Attitude Adjustments, du Jour
- ”Goaltending is a normal job, sure. How would you like it in your job if every time you made a small mistake, a red light went on over your desk and 15,000 people stood up and yelled at you.” – Jacques Plante Pride is good in small doses, but never something to depend on. With last [...]
- Season Preview: Kings Exit Cellar
- All too often I lament "It's the Kings" and "There's always next year", but I do think it is inconceivable that the Kings will finish in the cellar again. A new coach, young talent, and even younger prospects bring much hope for the franchise. And hope is really all Kings fans have this season. It is doubtful the Kings will be able make a run at the playoffs but they will show what they have in store for the future. As the preseason dwindles down to a close the Kings roster is gradually taking shape. Each day a prospect is sent back to Juniors or the AHL another veteran player sighs in relief of not being placed on waivers (unless your name is Matt Ellis).

Transactions
- New Jersey Devils At The Deadline
- New Jersey Devils (39-19-3) — 1st, Atlantic…3rd Conf. What got them there? Well honestly a resilient offense and timely goaltending from someone not named Martin Brodeur for most of the season is what got the Devils to this point. When Brodeur went down on November 1st…did anyone expect them to be in this position? No! Scott [...]

- And so the ongoing rumour came true, The Rangers changed their coach. Tortorella is a fiery coach, maybe that’s what the Rangers need, it’s true most of them are underperforming, but we can’t get too picky on a team that has lacked quality finishers all year long. On the other hand Renney, is NOT a bad coach, [...]
