I'm Saving Hockey: A BTN March 13th Recap
What a week for Zdeno Chara: he makes routine checks all year, and then a check he's made everywhere else on the ice just so happens to be made right before a stanchion and "boom", undies bundled. What made this hit such a tough sell were the approaches to defending his play: Chara went for the...
Dion Phaneuf: Wha' Happen?
If you don't understand the title, here's the inspiration. In Fred Willard I trust. Also, this was written last week Thursday. A friend decided to ask the oft-repeated question of "Who is this doddering doofus and what has he done to Dion Phaneuf?", so I figured I'd take a glimpse to see what's...
THN's Costello offers a "trade worth thinking about"
Here's the setup: Florida needs to shop a (presumably) bolting Jay Bouwmeester. Calgary sees no future (???) in bone-crusher Dion Phaneuf. Throw in a first rounder (14th overall), sign Big Bouw long-term and send them both packing to the Flames for 'Neuf. Everyone's happy, right? Putting aside the...
Sabres aren't moving and Referee unleashes verbal assualt

I don't like it.Now don't get me wrong; there's a lot to...
Ward Gets Out Of Lombardi's "Double Secret Probation" Period, Heads Off To Broadway
Avery, at the wheel, makes a quick getaway to New York with Elisha Cuthbert - lucky guy! Sean Avery, the NHL's most-penalized player the past two seasons, was traded to the New York Rangers on Monday night in a deal that sent checking forward Jason Ward to the Los Angeles...
Sean Avery opens mouth, Gary Bettman sews it shut
Sean Avery promises, and Sean Avery delivers...just never the way you bank on. In a truly hilarious pre-game comment, the King of Bizarre let one loose, and a classic at that, knowing full well what League-Overlord response was lurking around the corner. Must've really wanted the night off...
