    In honor of Mathieu Perreault’s hat trick Tuesday against the Boston Bruins, we wanted to take a quick trip down memory lane. Here is an excerpt from an OFB post that introduced what we called the “Matty Diaries,” where Perreault chronicled for us the days and uncertainty leading up to last year’s Winter Classic: We first learned of Mathieu Perreault’s deep-rooted love affair with playing hockey outdoors when we interviewed him after an outdoor Hershey Bears’ practice last season. Other Capitals share his passion for sure, but few find themselves in…

    Photo Caption: Photo by Clyde Caplan, clydeorama.com How much do NHL athletes and coaches rely on stats—versus their eyes and game film— to tell them about a player or his performance? The stats part of the question was alluded to a few weeks ago in a radio interview Capitals forward Brooks Laich did on The Sports Junkies, where they briefly discussed statistics and what Laich thinks of their application to the game. The hockey community in general has plenty of dissension about whether stats or eyes should be the bottom line when it comes to measuring a player’s performance. It’s…

    About the only nice thing a Caps fan could say after Tuesday’s game against the Islanders was that the postgame weather was unusually pleasant— almost 60 degrees (heck, even January didn’t show up for the game). Losses like the Capitals suffered Tuesday—roughly 60 minutes of missed assignments and wandering aimlessly around the ice, everyone playing their own game instead of as a team—are difficult to report on.  The guys on the team are tired and know they played poorly. A few unlucky ones have to talk to the media about it; meanwhile, journalists are trying to figure out a polite…

  • Blackhawks get Brendan Morrison, Flames get scoring help for their AHL affiliate

    Harrison Mooney
    27 Jan 2012 | 11:04 pm
    The first major domino leading up to the 2012 trade deadline has fallen, as the Chicago Blackhawks have acquired center Brendan Morrison from the Calgary Flames in exchange for defenseman Brian Connelly. Okay maybe it's not that big a deal. The 36-year-old Morrison clearly doesn't carry a whole lot of cachet anymore. Still, this is a good deal for both sides. The Blackhawks get a piece that can help them both now and going forward. From the Globe & Mail: In Morrison, 36, the Blackhawks get a short-term fix at centre, where they currently have two mainstays, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp,…

    With no Alex Ovechkin, who usually dominates the event (albeit with personality, not crazy dangles) let's take a look at who might be in the running to stand out at this year's Allstate Insurance NHL Breakaway Challenge. Here are your rosters: For Team Alfredsson, Sean Couturier, John Tavares, and the reigning Mr. Irrelevant, Logan Couture. On Team Chara: Ryan Johansen, Patrick Kane, and Corey Perry. This is a good group. Kane and Tavares have personality to give, not to mention crazy moves, and Logan Couture has really embraced the spirit of the weekend. Corey Perry can be a lot of fun too.

Joffrey Lupul is convinced that it's Phil Kessel. So convinced that, when Kessel texted him and specifically asked not to be included in the fastest skater event, Lupul flexed his assistant captaincy and vetoed his Toronto Maple Leafs' teammate. Then, in what's becoming an All-Star weekend tradition, we got our annual moment of hilarious Phil Kessel-related pathos captured on a cell…

  • All-Star experience something Brian Elliott ‘wouldn’t trade for the world’

    OTTAWA -- St. Louis Blues goaltender Brian Elliott joked that he would have loved for his first All-Star Game to happen in a warmer climate. Other than wishing he was away from the snow in Ottawa and somewhere with sunny skies and warm temperatures, Elliott has been soaking in the experience of All-Star Weekend, enjoying a well-deserved honor for his superb first half. Jaroslav Halak started the season as the Blues' No. 1 netminder, but when he struggled, Elliott, who signed a two-way deal over the summer, took advantage of his opportunity to start and reeled off 13 wins in his first 15…

He has two cornerstone defensemen -- Ryan Suter, who can become an unrestricted free agent July 1, and Shea Weber, who can become a restricted free agent. Neither will sign a contract extension before the Feb. 27 trade deadline. Instead they will wait to see if Poile can add to the roster for a playoff run, and they will reevaluate the situation after the season. "I don't see it being a benefit at all by hurrying up and trying to get something done," Suter said Friday at the NHL All-Star Game's Media Day. "As far…

    A move from Friday to Thursday may have caused a dip in numbers for the second NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft. The event, the second-annual draft of the All-Star teams, drew 408,000 viewers on NBC Sports Network. This was down 35% from last year’s numbers (624,000 on 1/28/11). Last year’s event took place on a Friday, as opposed to a Thursday this year. Overall, 2 million people tuned into the draft across North America, with 1.6 million of those coming from Canada on TSN and RDS. (Source: TVSportsRatings)

I have a lot of ideas for how the Draft (which, as many have pointed out, is taking place in reality and is in no way a fantasy), including encouraging trades, dropping the pretense of making sure defensemen and goalies are taken by a certain round, a more neutral (i.e. maybe something that…

But the numbers for NBCSp’s broadcast of the Wild/Avalanche game were downright embarrassing. The network, televising only it’s fourth game west of Dallas this season, and it’s seventh west of Minnesota, drew just 190,000 viewers for the match-up, marking NBC/VERSUS’ lowest numbers for an exclusive match-up during the 2011-12 season, lowering a limbo stick already set by the Avalanche…

    26 Jan 2012 | 9:29 am
    The Worcester Sharks took to the ice Wednesday but played most of the game like they had the night off and dropped a 4-2 decision as the Springfield Falcons converted several WorSharks mistakes into goals at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts in front of 2,222 fans. Despite a slow start that would see most of the play in the Worcester end of the ice and the WorSharks behind on the shot total it was the hometown team that would jump out to a 1-0 lead with a power play goal at 8:39. A few minutes after a WorSharks brain cramp play almost resulted in the Falcons getting what would have…

During Friday’s loss Providence had the last change and did everything they could to avoid the WorSharks tough guys and instead threw their weight around against players not so physical. On Saturday the WorSharks had the last change, and used it to their advantage…

    The Worcester Sharks took their rag tag roster down to Rhode Island to take on the Providence Bruins, but with a line-up comprised of more punchers than scorers couldn’t overcome several late mental errors and sub-par goaltending in dropping a 3-2 decision Friday night at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. With the recall of John McCarthy prior to the game Worcester was forced to dress all eight of their defensemen and use two at forward. Nick Petrecki joined fellow blueliner Matt Pelech and enforcer Jimmy Bonneau to form quite a musclebound fourth line–with Pelech centering no…

Ovechkin isn’t suspended for the All Star Game, of course.  He’s suspended for the regular season.  Ovechkin could go, but is choosing not to, because he doesn’t want to be a distraction at the ASG.

    Oh Timmy. Timmy, Timmy, Timmy.

Today, the Boston Bruins were at the White House to be honored by President Barack Obama.  Better late than never, I guess.  At least, most of the Boston Bruins were at the White House.  One…

And I wonder where that passion went.  It certainly isn’t there like it used to be. But the other day, something occurred to me about the passion part: The passion for the game is still there, it’s the amount of passion that’s diminished.

    from Aaron Portzline of Puck-Rakers, One source told The Dispatch last night (Friday) that the Blue Jackets – in the midst of the worst season in franchise history, and in dire need of good news – were informed yesterday by the league that they would be the host city next season. The game is one of the NHL’s marquee events and would be, possibly, one of the most significant events ever hosted in the city. In the past, the NHL would not approve Columbus as a host for the game because the area around Nationwide Arena lacked a sufficient number of high-end hotel rooms needed to…

    via Craig Custance of ESPN, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby continues to make progress towards a comeback this season. He’s been back on the ice, recently skating on his own in both Atlanta and Los Angeles. “He has been skating pretty much all week,” his agent Pat Brisson confirmed in an email to ESPN the Magazine.

    from Scott Burnside of ESPN, After developing a reputation as a party boy—especially after scoring the Stanley Cup-winning goal in Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup finals—Kane appears to have embraced a more pastoral lifestyle. It’s a small thing, but with his parents and a friend in town for the All-Star proceedings, Kane insisted that team staff working over the weekend join them for dinner. “He’s not the kid in that way that he used to be,” Bowman said. For a period of time, photos of Kane out on the town would regularly pop up in various places on the…

    Calgary, AB – The Calgary Flames announced today the acquisition of defenseman Brian Connelly from the Chicago Blackhawks organization in exchange for Brendan Morrison. “As we projected our line-up going forward we felt it was going to be difficult for us to find a spot for Brendan or get him significant ice-time,” said Flames General Manager Jay Feaster. “Given his pending UFA status and the fact that we were not going to re-sign him, we felt it important to try to move him for another asset. In Brian Connelly we obtain a 25 year old highly skilled AHL All-Star…

  • The U.S. Goaltending Picture

    Paul
    27 Jan 2012 | 6:52 pm
    from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail, Three of the six goalies chosen to play in the 2012 NHL all-star game are American-born: Thomas (Flint, Mich.), Quick (Milford, Conn.) and Jimmy Howard (Syracuse, N.Y.) of the Detroit Red Wings. U.S. manufacturing may be having a tough time of it elsewhere, but the U.S. goaltending factory is churning them out almost as fast as the world leaders, Finland. Consider that this year, Thomas, Quick and Howard are in the top 10 in all four major goaltending categories – goals-against average, wins, save percentage and shutouts, with Howard tops in…

  • Game 49: Habs/Red Wings

    Mats Naslund
    25 Jan 2012 | 9:59 am
    I love when the Habs play the Red Wings. Don’t get me wrong – the outcome is usually bad for the Canadiens, but there is something so amazing.. so formerly Montreal, about the Red Wings team. They are about as close as you can come to a “Dynasty” as you can get in modern hockey. They don’t win every year like the Habs used to, but they never draft high – and they’re always good. Their players get old, but they never slow down.  I simply can’t get enough of watching Zetterberg, Datsyk, Lidstrom, Franzen, Kronwall, Filppula, Hudler, and Holmstrom…

    Mats Naslund
    21 Jan 2012 | 9:08 am
    Classic 11-12 Canadiens. Take a 4-2 lead into the third period and blo it all to eventually lose in OT. I couldn’t watch last night due to a family function, but something tells me that I didn’t need to see it go down to understand what happened. Frankly, I had no illusions that an immaculate run for the playoffs was possible, even though I harbour no ill-will to those who want to hope that a comeback is possible. Frankly, I’m the type of person who sees a losing season as an opportunity, one in which a team who is smart in trade, can set up the next season by identifying…

    20 Jan 2012 | 10:36 am
    If there is a team in the league that simply doesn’t care for the whining that goes on about the Montreal Canadiens injury problems this season – it’s the Pittsburgh Penguins. Obviously missing Sidney Crosby (who remains 12th on team scoring despite only playing 8 games this season) hurts. But the Penguins have also missed considerable time from Kris Letang, Jordan Stall and Tyler Kennedy. Through thick and thin, the Penguins remain in 6th place in the Eastern Conference – and look ever like the team that seems to now perennially sit in good standing – ready to…

    Late breaker tonight. The Habs face the Capitals tonight who lost last evening to the Islanders. Can the Habs take advantage of an opponent who played 24 hours ago? It wouldn’t be typical of this season, but would surely be a welcome change for fans of the Canadiens. Go Habs Go!!!

  • Game 45: Habs/Rangers

    Mats Naslund
    15 Jan 2012 | 9:01 am
    Following a tough shootout loss at home last night, the Canadiens welcome (begrudgingly) the New York Rangers to town who are fresh off of a 3-0 victory against the Maple Leafs. Marty Biron started in net (and played fantastically), which will leave the Habs to face Lundqvist. I guess Torterella wasn’t about to start Biron in Montreal after the 4-0 victory Montreal scored earlier in the season. For Montreal fans it will be the first opportunity to see Rene Bourque in a Habs jersey. The trade that sent Michael Cammalleri back to Calgary has been a controversial one. From an emotional…

Scott knows how well the Isles first line plays, he'll be looking to shut it down every chance they get. The key to this game may be scoring opportunities for the second and third line.

    Wow, this list was a tough one! When I set out to create it I already had four or five definite individual seasons in mind, and I figured filling out the remaining positions in my top 10 wouldn't be much of a chore. Boy, was I wrong. Not only did I have difficulty narrowing down which players would make the list, but in some cases even once I chose the player I continued to agonize over which of their seasons was their best. That particular conundrum illustrates one of my stipulations when creating this list: No player appears more than once on the list. Sure, I could easily justify having…

    Johnny Machurek

    Last year at this time the Philadelphia Flyers were being led by a rookie netminder from Russia, Sergei Bobrovsky, now they are being led by another Russian this time Ilya Bryzgalov.  Bryzgalov was signed in the offseason to tune of nine-years $51 million to give Philadelphia a franchise goalie. Only one problem has come from that signing and that is the fact that Bryz has not played like a franchise goalie.  The defense has played bad at times, but Bryz also hasn’t looked confident in net.  He put up great numbers in a non-hockey market with the Phoenix Coyotes.  I said in the…

Claude Giroux, Chris Pronger , James van Riemsdyk,  and Brayden Schenn  are all either currently out or have missed time with a concussion this year.  Sean Couturier and Kimmo Timonen have also missed time with head injuries this season. Danny B wasn’t the only casualty in today’s 4-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils.  The Flyers also lost Jaromir Jagr with the nagging groin injury and Zac Rinaldo with an upper body injury. Next…

    With the NHL Trade Deadline coming up next month, I asked Philadelphia Flyers fans what they wanted at the deadline.  Here is some response from fans on the Flyers Official Facebook Page. Brian P.: One word-DEFENSE Flyer Forlife: It’s not just any D-man tho. We need a guy who can clear our crease and can quarterback our power play. We are talking a big money guy, here. I don’t want some guy to full in. We need a legit top 4 Dman. Matthew C: To get a quality D-man, they’re gonna need to shop a rookie. Just sayin’. Shawn M: Package JVR (James van Riemsdyk) with…

    Former Philadelphia Flyers captain Rick Tocchet said today on Philadelphia sports radio 94.7 WIP that current netminder Ilya Bryzgalov needs to work on his work ethic among other things. Tocchet was a guest on WIP Middays with Anthony Gargano and Glen Macnow and they talked for about ten minutes on Bryz. Here are some of the quotes from Tocchet “He has to quit talking about the universe and get his game back.” “I’m not saying he is lazy but he isn’t the the hardest (in practice).” “He left some defensemen out to dry.” (Talking 24/7)…

  • Hartnell Deserves All The Credit For All Star Season

    Justin Johnson
    28 Jan 2012 | 12:34 am
    Scott Hartnell’s big year can easily be attributed to things other than him by short sighted people. However, the biggest reason for Hartnell’s success this season is well, Scott Hartnell. While no one is arguing that Hartnell has a couple of extremely talented linemates, we haven’t seen this version of Scott Hartnell prior to the 2011-12 season.Hartnell is easily having the best year of his career. He currently has 25 goals and 19 assists for 44 points in 48 games with an outstanding +18 on the season. He has shown much more discipline as far as taking dumb penalties.Scott Hartnell is…

    Injuries have not been kind to the Dallas Stars as of late.Is Stephane Robidas' time as a defensive leader in Dallas coming to an end? (Resolute/Wikipedia)While it’s never fair to blame all of a team’s struggles on injuries, as they are something that all teams must face each year and an obstacle that the more elite of teams find ways to overcome, the loss of key players has taken a measurable toll on the Stars in recent weeks. After getting Kari Lehtonen, Stephane Robidas and Sheldon Souray back from injury, the Stars were then dealt the unfortunate fate of losing their #1…

    It is possible Lubomir Visnovsky might be biggest name moved by ducks at the trade deadline. (Cheryl Adams/Flickr)I have seen all the rumors too. Corey Perry to Vancouver, Ryan Getzlaf to Buffalo, Bobby Ryan to Toronto. It is my belief that none of those players will be moved at the deadline. Why? They are all young, good players that can help the Ducks for another 10 years. It does not make any sense. When you are a team that is not going to make the playoffs you trade the older veterans for younger players, prospects, and picks so you can turn your team around in the future. Here is my list…

So much in fact, that the word “imminent” has been used in the same sentence of Toronto Maple Leafs. For the most part, people are saying that it’s imminent that Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke will pull the trigger on a trade to bring a top-six forward to Toronto. That’s not the case, though, and nor should it be.As we’ve seen so many times in the past,…

    25 Jan 2012 | 11:47 am
    Pittsburgh Penguins winger James Neal has finally been added to the roster for the 2012 NHL All-Star game. Neal will replace Alex Ovechkin, who will skip the game in response to being suspended three games by the league for an illegal hit on Zbynek Michalek on Sunday. Neal will join teammates Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang this weekend. He currently ranks second in the NHL with 27 goals, 13th with 47 points and leads the league in shots on goal and power play goals.

  • Mason Raymond could be dealt before trade deadline

    26 Jan 2012 | 1:25 pm
    Mason Raymond is a candidate to be dealt at the trade deadline. This shouldn’t be news to the Canucks and the Canucks fans as there was some rumbling at the beginning of the season that he would be dealt. Raymond is 26 years and he had 25 goals and 28 assists during the 2009-10 season. Raymond is also a good penalty killer, has a good wrist shot and he’s fast. But, for some reason, he’s not producing this year. David Booth, who was acquired by the Canucks earlier this season, is likely going to replace Raymond. The question is which team will be interested in Raymond and how much are…

The Canucks had lots of opportunities to put the Oilers away, but they hit posts on some shots. For the Oilers, they had their chances too, but Roberto Luongo was there to stop them. The Canucks outshot the Oilers 35-32. Daniel Sedin and David Booth would score for the Canucks, while Shawn Horcoff and Taylor Hall scored for the Oilers. Hall also added an assist and Ales Hemsky had 2 assists. The Oilers have now lost 13 road games in 14 games. This will be the last game of…

    Cody Hodgson is a candidate for the Calder Trophy this year. He scored 2 goals on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks, including the game winner. Hodgson haven’t missed a game this season. Hodgson is 4th in points among rookies with 29 points. Only Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Adam Henrique and Matt Read have more points than him. Nugent-Hopkins was running away with the Calder Trophy until he suffered a shoulder injury on Jan.2 against the Chicago Blackhawks. Hodgson will have to outperform the other 3 Calder Trophy candidates to win the Calder Trophy.

But nevertheless, Brian Burke and John-Michael Liles have come to terms on a deal on an extension that would keep the veteran defenseman in Toronto for four years and $15.5 million.

After MacArthur’s performance he earned a two year $6.5 million contract in the off-season. Last season was a great story for MacArthur, this season a whole different tale of highs and lows ought to be told. As of January 23rd, 2012, MacArthur has registered 12 goals and 9 assist for 21 points in the 2011/12 season. Which puts MacArthur on pace from around 21 goals and 16 assist for this year. Which means that MacArthur is on pace to…
