The National Hockey League season isn’t even two months old, but some teams are failing to meet expectations. There are teams who have done far better than expected, and others that expected to be playoff contenders that are struggling to win games at all. We saw some big money get handed out to free agents. [...]

The Toronto Maple Leafs have not been a good road team in recent years. Then again, they haven’t been good all around, so to try and make a distinction between home and road probably isn’t the most accurate way to go about doing things. Still, there was reason for optimism: the Leafs were 6-5-0 on [...]
The New York Islanders have struggled this season to a record of 5-10-4 through the opening 19 games of the season. The team had five 20 goal scorers a year ago, while Michael Grabner (34) and Matt Moulson (31) both cracked the 30 goal plateau as well. Goals have been at a premium for the [...]
Even in the holiday season, there’s not a break for Brendan Shanahan, vice president of player safety for the National Hockey League. Shanahan handed down a three game suspension to New York Rangers forward Andre Deveaux for an incident that took place on Wednesday night in a game against the Florida Panthers. Thursday was [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs had a mixed bag in the first two games of a three game stretch against Southeast Division opponents. Toronto walloped the Washington Capitals by a score of 7-1 Saturday night at the Air Canada Centre. That was followed up less than 24 hours later with a 3-2 defeat at the hands [...]
The Phoenix Coyotes selected Kyle Turris with the third overall pick in the 2007 NHL Draft with the intention of having him be the franchise center for the team in years to come. Of course, there would be rough patches and tough times, growing pains that had to be worked through, but Phoenix had high [...]
Monday night was a return to a proverbial house of horrors for Boston Bruins’ defenseman Zdeno Chara. It was another trip to the Bell Centre in Montreal, an arena that will forever be etched into the mind of the 6 foot 9 inch defenseman’s brain after his check on Montreal’s Max Pacioretty left the latter [...]
The Pittsburgh Penguins welcomed their captain Sidney Crosby back to the lineup last night after a ten and a half month absence from concussion symptoms that were the result of back to back games with head shots in January. Crosby missed the last 41 games of the 2010-11 season and without him, the Penguins blew [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs headed to Carolina fresh off a 7-1 waxing of the Washington Capitals Saturday in a game that they dominated for the better part of the contest. They gave up 41 shots, but Jonas Gustavsson kicked out 40 of them, and a flurry of offense, led by Joffrey Lupul’s four point night, [...]
Once upon a time, the Pittsburgh Penguins had a ton of young talent that was going to set the National Hockey League on its collective ear. Sdinay Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal and company carried the team to back to back Stanley Cup Finals, besting Detroit in seven games in 2008-09 for the franchise’s third [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs were just 1-4-1 in their last six games, and had been outscored 11-5 in regulation in their past three contests, all losses (Phoenix won in a shootout for the 12th goal.) The team was missing seven regulars, including Mikhail Grabovski and Clarke MacArthur, two thirds of the team’s second line. They [...]
