Are the Stars Aligned for a Big Deal?
I’m keeping a close eye on tonight’s Dallas-Detroit game. The losses are mounting for the fast-falling Stars, and with them come extraordinary possibilities as Monday’s trade deadline nears. A month ago, the Stars were the success story of the NHL, … Continue reading
Zebra-Screwed
Over the course of an 82-game season there are going to be nights when the men in stripes don’t do right by you. You accept that — you have to. It’s the fastest game in the world, with collisions and … Continue reading
Giving the Hosts the Blues for a Change
The Capitals got four goals in last night’s game against Jaroslov Halak that they probably would have preferred to have had in last season’s playoff series against him, when Halak was with the Habs. Halak now guards the cage for … Continue reading
A Star in Net at the Other End
No team has any business beating these Washington Capitals when they pump 52 shots on net, literally doubling the shots tally of the opponent, as the Caps did last night in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Dallas Stars, but … Continue reading

Hockey Sweater Obsessives, Your Ship Has Arrived
Paul Lukas of Uni Watch fame has published his NHL preview, chock full of hockey uniform photos from new sweaters, to memorial patches, to the sneaky “C” that Roberto Luongo added to his mask since by NHL rules no goaltender … Continue reading
