If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 3

By ⋅ February 9, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Three weeks into the season now, and while the Blackhawks have started to build a bit of a lead for themselves, the rest of the field is up for grabs. Each conference has a team better than at least one division leader, so teams are jumping all over each other. The standings still have a [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 2

By ⋅ February 2, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

The NHL season is well-underway, especially considering the greatly shortened length of the season. With that being said, the standings don’t look like they usually do, partly due to the low number of games played, but it also has a lot to do with the urgency felt by every team earlier than usual. The Maple [...]

Bruins Are Back After 8-0 Win Over Leafs

By ⋅ March 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins have owned the Maple Leafs all season and Monday night was no different. Four first period goals powered the Bruins past the Leafs with a 8-0 final score. Fourteen Bruins skaters ended the game with at least one point. Tim Thomas needed only 13 saves to earn a shutout (he saw only two [...]

Bruins Bounce Back with 5-4 Win in Toronto

By ⋅ March 6, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins escaped Toronto with a 5-4 victory Wednesday, improving to 5-0 against the Leafs this season. Goals coming from the top and bottom of the line-up helped the Bruins get the win. Jordan Caron is in the middle of his best stretch of pro hockey, with three goals in the last two games. The Leafs hung [...]

Is Zdeno Chara Overrated ?

By ⋅ March 6, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I completely understand if you think I’m crazy for thinking Bruins captain Zdeno Chara is overrated. He is undoubtedly one of the toughest guys to play against, probably one of the scariest players on ice , and has the hardest shot in the league. I have taken it upon myself to really pay attention to his [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 20

By ⋅ February 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

A full 20 weeks into the season, and the standings are still bunched up, Rangers aside. Divisions are tight, #8 seeds are tight and the President’s Trophy is tight (the only close race involving the Rangers). So much could change in the blink of an eye, let alone the remaining 20+ games, so let’s look [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 19

By ⋅ February 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re well into February, and there’s certainly no shortage of drama. The Rangers are leaving the rest of the East in their dust, but the rest of the conference is dog piling over each other. It’s the same way out west, except no spot is safe there. New York is certainly the team to beat, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 17

By ⋅ February 2, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Now that we’re into February, time is beginning to become a factor for teams that need to make up ground; teams have anywhere from 29 to 34 games remaining before the playoffs begin, and while it’s not yet time for desperation to set in, concern is starting to creep up. With teams like Detroit and [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 14

By ⋅ January 12, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re already well into the new year, and it’s about the half-way point for the NHL season, too. The Rangers are continuing to make progress. The Penguins are continuing to do the opposite. It’s still very close between #8/#9 in both conferences as well, which will make for some heated battles down the stretch. There [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 12

By ⋅ December 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week, there have been some big changes. The East has a new leader, as does the Northwest division. For that matter, so does the Atlantic. And a team almost nobody saw doing well has eked their way into the playoff positioning. Four of the divisions are still withing three points of changing hands, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 11

By ⋅ December 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Coming up on Christmas, many of the divisions are opening up a little more. However, the Pacific is in a three-way tie for the lead, so that looks like the race to watch for the moment. Boston is building up another winning streak, while Minnesota is on its way down. Chicago has taken advantage of [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 10

By ⋅ December 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The NHL season is a full 10 weeks old. The Devils, Predators and Sharks all are making moves, while Pittsburgh is among the notable teams sliding. A few divisions are starting to open up, leaving the other teams in them to solidify a Wildcard spot. Only one division is led by two points, and even [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 9

By ⋅ December 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s still a tough league nine weeks into the season. Pittsburgh is barely clinging onto the East lead, Winnipeg is a win away from a top eight spot, and there have been a few head hit suspensions so far, not to mention key goalie injuries. Boston’s point streak is finally over, while Minnesota is continuing [...]

Bruins Beat Leafs Again, Point Streak At 14 Games

By ⋅ December 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The last time the Bruins had a regulation loss (back on Oct. 29), the Red Sox were without a manager, Julian Edelman hadn’t been arrested yet, and the NBA was still in a lockout with no end in sight. That trend continued Saturday night, with the Bruins taking down the Maple Leafs for the fourth [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 8

By ⋅ December 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Two months into the NHL season, several coaching changes are in order. While that’s sure to shake things up, many surprise teams are still going strong. Florida and Minnesota have healthy leads, Toronto’s still hanging in there, and the Coyotes and Stars are leading the way in the Pacific. Vancouver and Boston are both on [...]
