Cut Down On Injuries - Cut Down On Exhibition Games (Oct 11 2008 18:04 GMT)
from Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette, Does it make sense to play more games at the expense of practices, which are conducted with an eye on avoiding injuries and are the best way to do it for coaches - particularly freshman bench leaders - to work at introducing new systems to their teams? I don?t think so. What I?m really saying is that since these players are merely human, the NHL will have to take a long, hard look at the number of games its assets play when their people sit down to prepare next season?
Morning Line (Oct 11 2008 17:55 GMT)
?He?s a target out there and a lot of guys go after him. It?s only natural for him to want to go want to go back at guys?
Getting The Rinkside View (Oct 11 2008 17:47 GMT)
from the Anaheim Ducks, The ?Rinkside View? game format combines the best of traditional hockey television expertise with more ice access thanks to low angle camera positions and a voyeuristic, as-if-you-were-there look and feel to the telecast. A total of 20 NHL games, including all six ?Freeway Faceoff?
Flyers Defense Hurting (Oct 10 2008 18:53 GMT)
from Wayne Fish of phillBurbs, The procession to the operating room appeared to continue on Thursday when Flyers defenseman Randy Jones disclosed he probably needs right hip surgery. Jones could be out two months or more. He joins defenseman Ryan Parent, who is waiting to have surgery for repairs on a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Parent is expected to be out 12-14 weeks. Jones has undergone several MRI tests, and the pictures are being sent to specialist Dr.
It Started In Strathroy For Brian Campbell (Oct 10 2008 18:42 GMT)
from Brett Ballantini at ChicagoBlackhawks.com, It?s easy to imagine the grunt from a hard check into a snow bank. Pass a garage, and you?d swear there was the loud thwack!
Leipold Hopes To Sign Gaborik (Oct 10 2008 18:32 GMT)
from Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press, Craig Leipold, who on Saturday begins his first full season as owner of the Wild, figures he has a playoff team. ?I think it?s very fair to say we?re a playoff team,?
Coaches Under The Gun (Oct 10 2008 18:27 GMT)
from CBC, The nine new coaches aren?t going to be let go so capriciously, and there are at least that number who either earned another full season after 2007-08 success or are entrenched veterans ? Boudreau and Claude Julien being in the first category, and Lindy Ruff and Dave Tippett among those in the latter group. That only leaves, at most, about a dozen candidates who could be sent packing before the season is out. Here are five of those candidates:
Canadiens On The Offensive (Oct 10 2008 18:16 GMT)
from Sean Gordon of the Globe and Mail, It?s an ironic and somewhat startling move that reveals much about this coach: a calculated decision to do away with the role he personified during a stellar 19-year playing career. As the Montreal Canadiens kick off their 100th season, Guy Carbonneau is electing not to ice a line of specialized checking forwards. Instead, he will throw his lot in with a rotation of three offensive lines that will share more or less equal slices of ice time, and an aggressive, physical ?
NHL Ice No Place For Politics (Oct 10 2008 18:02 GMT)
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post, When Palin drops the puck, there inevitably will be photos taken of the Ranger and Flyer participating in the ceremonial draw. When circulated throughout the Internet, these photos are likely to imply endorsement. If the Governor of Alaska is presented with a Flyers? jersey?or appears wearing one?
Keep An Eye On Bouwmeester (Oct 10 2008 17:53 GMT)
from Dave Hyde of the Sun-Sentinel, Watch Jay Bouwmeester. He?ll tell the whole story of this Panthers season. Everyone wonders if keeping a failed coach as general manager makes sense, if trading the top scorer was smart, if there?s finally a blueprint to the playoffs and not another skate through the wilderness.
Morning Line (Oct 10 2008 17:47 GMT)
?Oh, I?m sure there?s a lot of people with crayons right now writing down a parade route. But it?
The Birth Of A Hockey Blog (Oct 10 2008 17:36 GMT)
from Mike Boone at the Montreal Gazette, Gazette editor-in-chief Andrew Phillips did not write ?Internet Canadiens? on a napkin. But the creation of the Habs Inside/Out site parallels the Miami Vice saga in that a simple concept was developed into a project that has turned into a hit. Here?
Hey Rocker, You Have The Cup Upside Down (Oct 10 2008 17:02 GMT)
from Puck Daddy of Yahoo Sports, This was the proverbial slow-motion car crash; like on ?The Price is Right,? when a contestant is about to put the $199 price tag on the tube of toothpaste and the crowd simultaneously shrieks ?NO!
Audition Time For The Ice Crew (Oct 10 2008 08:42 GMT)
Behind the scenes look at auditions for the LA Kings Ice Crew.
Warrener Goes On Long Term Injury Status (Oct 09 2008 20:09 GMT)
via the Calgary Flames, Calgary Flames General Manager Darryl Sutter announced today that defenseman Rhett Warrener has been placed on Long Term Injury status. Warrener missed three games during the preseason due to an injury sustained on September 26th. This injury, combined with extensive damage from previous seasons, has made it impossible for Warrener to start the regular season. Long Term Injury status is available to players who will be unavailable for at least 10 NHL regular season games and 24 calendar days.
The Cost Of A Ticket (Oct 09 2008 20:02 GMT)
from Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail, According to razorgator.com, a worldwide ticket agency for sports and entertainment events, five Canadian teams have the highest average ticket price for their home openers this season, while the Ottawa Senators rank 10th among the 30 NHL clubs. Here are the average ticket prices, arranged from high-to-low continued and Vancouver leads the way with an average of $308 per ticket?
Love For Kaberle (Oct 09 2008 19:49 GMT)
from Navin Vaswani at DigitalJournal, It?s been one hell of a ride, Tomas. I?ve enjoyed every second of it with you. As we embark on another chapter in our lives together down in Detroit tonight, all I want us to do is live for the moment, and live for today.
We Start Tonight (Oct 09 2008 19:30 GMT)
Many of us have waited for this night, the puck drops in North America. How do you feel about your team?s outlook for this season? Confident, undecided, let us know how you feel!
It Is A ?New? Season (Oct 09 2008 19:06 GMT)
from Damien Cox at ESPN, The names aren?t necessarily tied directly together, which makes cause-and-effect difficult to prove. One hockey player makes it here, another is told he?s no longer wanted there, and the merry-go-round starts again. But two intriguing trends have surfaced this fall on the eve of the NHL season, one producing great optimism about the future of the league, the other a gloomy sigh of nostalgia for best days gone by.
The New Sweaters (Oct 09 2008 18:40 GMT)
from Paul Lukas of Page 2 at ESPN, And it?s a big year uni-wise, because alternate jerseys, which had been banished last season, will be reappearing in many locker rooms, plus there?s the usual assortment of patches and tweaks. Uni Watch knows you want to be fully up to speed on North America?s 17th-most-popular sport (or whatever it?
Teams Likely To Move (Oct 09 2008 18:23 GMT)
from Puck Daddy at Yahoo Sports, Still, there are NHL franchises looking about as healthy as Amy Winehouse with a head cold. The venerable Forbes magazine believes three of them are the Phoenix Coyotes, Nashville Predators and New York Islanders; and it?s placed that trio on its list of ?The 10 Sports Franchises Most Likely To Move.?
Roloson Knows He Is In A Backup Role (Oct 09 2008 18:17 GMT)
from Mark Spector of Sportsnet, So Roloson knows what he is these days. He?ll even admit it: ?Insurance.?
All Don Maloney (Oct 09 2008 17:54 GMT)
from PhoenixCoyotes.com, Q: What are your thoughts about your young offense this season? DM: ?
Markov Asked To Shoot More (Oct 09 2008 17:47 GMT)
from the Montreal Gazette, Andrei Markov loves the playmaker role but the veteran defenceman is being asked to shoot the puck more as he moves into a new role with the No. 1 power play in the National Hockey League. Markov moves from the left point to the right point and that?s where the Montreal Canadiens look for the shot. That?
Blackhawks Snag a Freebie Draft Pick (Oct 09 2008 03:28 GMT)
