If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 11

By ⋅ December 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s been plenty of action before the NHL’s Christmas break, and things are getting quite interesting. The top slots are being challenged, the West’s bottom slots are in such a predicament as well, and it’s a good thing for the Bruins that the Northeast Division is comparatively weak. And nearly half-way through the season, the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 10

By ⋅ December 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

10 Weeks are gone, and while the East has a clear field of eight, the West is still fighting amongst itself. And right now, the teams with the two most points are in the same Atlantic division. The Bruins completely missed their chance to overtake the Canadiens, and now sit in the lowly #8 as [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 8

By ⋅ December 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After two months, we’re starting to see some separation in the East, but no such luck in the West. Between eight and nine in the East is five points, but one in the West; even last place in the Pacific Division (San Jose) is just one win away from poking their nose into the race. [...]

Bruins Trade Hunwick for Cohen, Clear Cap Room for Savard

By ⋅ November 29, 2010 ⋅ One comment

The Bruins have traded defensman Matt Hunwick to the Colorado Avalanche for former Boston University defenseman Colby Cohen in a salary dump. Why did they need to dump any salary? Well, with plans to activate Marc Savard in the works, GM Peter Chiarelli needed to trim some space to fit in their 33-year-old concussed center [...]

Welcome to a special Thanksgiving week edition of the NHL’s “If the Playoffs…” And be sure to enjoy the Bruins’ matinee later Friday. This past week-and-a-game has included many fun moments, including a new top team in the league, as you’ve already noticed. Phoenix has charged forward, one point away from Detroit for the West’s [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 6

By ⋅ November 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The red-hot Capitals (70 goals, by the way), show no signs of stopping anytime soon, especially when they’re gunning for another President’s Trophy. Though the Red Wings are making a challenge. And Boston’s doing quite well, when they’re on the road, anyway. Buffalo’s making a push to become relevant again, while St Louis is slipping. [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 4

By ⋅ November 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Thanks to Boston, Buffalo is now the league’s worst team, and Nashville, #1 in the West last week, are down to #9. Pittsburgh is #8 in the East, and Toronto is starting to fall by the wayside. Plenty of teams are offensively gifted, plenty are defensively gifted, and others [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 2

By ⋅ October 21, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Another week in, and the Maple Leafs are going strong. The Blackhawks are back on top out West, though their three closest competitors all have three games in hand, down by three points. That’s 333, which when doubled, means the Devils are currently in last place in the entire NHL. They’re followed by Ottawa and [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 1

By ⋅ October 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Isn’t the first week great? It’s the only time of a year that we get to see things like the Maple Leafs as the best team in the league. And it’s the one time of the year when Marty Brodeur is still working out the kinks, and the Bruins, just like the rest of the [...]

Let’s Get Puck’d: NHL Western Conference Preview

By ⋅ October 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Welcome, as we march on with the second half of this year’s NHL previews, this time shifting our focus to the Western Conference. To me, the West is wide open this year. Chicago, the league’s reigning Cup champs, had to have a fire sale in the off-season to relieve their salary cap crunch, which should [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 25

By ⋅ April 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Can you believe the season ends this Sunday, and you won’t see this article again until October? Can you believe the Capital have clinched the President’s Trophy, and when they did so, only one other team had even clinched a division? After Tuesday, the West is all wrapped up in terms of the elite eight, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 24

By ⋅ March 31, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s less than two weeks left in the schedule, and we’re all getting super excited with the playoff picture starting to shape up. But still, there’s plenty that could change in a whim. Even with the Capitals clinching the East (and with two wins and six points over San Jose) and the magic number for [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 23

By ⋅ March 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With about 10 games and less than three weeks left on the schedule, it’s getting desperate for many teams. There have been several surprises this season, especially the Coyotes, who were even in second place in the West Monday, tied with Chicago with 97 points. The Devils and Penguins are fighting over their division, while [...]

If The Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 22

By ⋅ March 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re rapidly approaching the end of the season, with less than 15 games left now. And the race is still on. Boston has a three-point cushion and a game in hand over the Rangers for the last spot in the East, Detroit just has three points over Calgary out West, and thanks to an embarrassing [...]
