Super Sunday Open Thread
Light hockey schedule today, with the Super Bowl being played tonight. Penguins at Capitals at 12 PM on NBC Penguins finally made it into D.C. at 2 AM this morning, due to the blizzard. Should be interesting to see what kind of legs the Pens have on about 5 hours sleep. For the latest on the Pens,...
How Hard Is It For A First Round Pick To Win A Stanley Cup?
James Mirtle at From The Rink had an interesting numbers crunch this morning, showing just how hard it is for an NHL'er to win the Stanley Cup. In the crunchdown, James' stats show what a small percentage of players playing at least on NHL game get to hoist the 33 pound mug. That got me...
Franzen's Goal Guides Wings to 3-1 Win in Game 1
It's rare that the opposing goalie be your best player but that's partly what happened in Game 1. Detroit used two goals off of Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and one from rookie Justin Abdelkader to take the first game by a score of 3-1. Although it would be hard to completely blame Fleury...
Stanley Cup Finals Preview
Well here we are yet again, the Stanley Cup finals. This year is a rematch between the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins, which should make little Gary Bettman sleep just a little more soundly. But regardless let’s get down to my predictions, but first lets break down the series....
Part 1: Fleury vs. Osgood
I'll be doing a 4 part series from now until the start of the Cup Finals (or however long it takes me) to preview each important part of each team. What better place to start than with the guys that carried their respective team to the finals? vs. Marc-Andre Fleury Chris...
NHL Got Their Version of Tiger & Phil Last Night
I love the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I intentionally watch just enough hockey during the regular season to know who to watch when the playoffs roll around in April. There is almost nothing better in sport than a classic playoff hockey game. Being from the DC area, it has been really great to see...
Breaking down the Eastern Conference goalies: Who's Hot, Who's Not
We hear a lot every year about how the team with the hottest goaltender is usually the team to worry about most in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Some goaltender playoff performances are legendary. In the 1986 Stanley Cup playoffs, Patrick Roy won the first of his three Conn Smythe...
Marc-Andre Fleury's March 25th shutout streak
Huge hat-tip to The Pensblog for pointing this out... March 25th, 2009 -- Marc-Andre Fleury makes 31 saves en route to shutting out the Calgary Flames 2-0. March 25th, 2008 -- Marc-Andre Fleury makes 31 saves en route to shutting out the New Jersey Devils 2-0. March 25th, 2007 -- Marc-Andre...
Pens douse the Flames 2-0
The Flames, winning a big game at home on Monday against the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings flew across the continent for their only meeting against the Penguins. And the Pens, resting since Sunday's matinee against the Flyers came out strong and confident and did the job. Kris...
BEAT LA....The Penguins did 4-1
Friday night the Penguins had the LA Kings, a team they rarely see and will not be joining post-season play. Sunday on national TV they had a game waiting against their biggest rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers. Fans may have looked ahead to the next game, but the players sure didn't. They came...
