C is Central; N is Northwest; P is Pacific. R/OT/SO = wins and losses in each of regulation, over-time, and shoot-out. GR = games-remaining. ROW = regulation plus OT (but...

February 2, 1993: Gary Bettman’s first day on the job

By
November 2, 2012

Bettman's legacy of expansion into non-traditional markets is responsible for the current lock-out. Without the political support of those same franchises -- one of which is owned by the NHL -- we would be watching NHL hockey now.

Shorter me: the Bettman experiment has blown up in his face. And this is what that looks...

Preds match: thoughts

By
July 24, 2012

Note to Elliotte Friedman and other chuckleheads who think Weber’s deal with Preds can’t be modified: It can. Only the “principal terms” (how much and when and for how long) can’t be altered. Why on earth Nashville would give Weber a no-move clause now is another question. Frankly, I would be more inclined to...

By
April 3, 2012

Dallas has 89 points. They can reach 93 points by winning their last two games (against Nashville and St. Louis). The Kings have 93 points. If the Kings earn one point in either of their last two games, they make the playoffs by guaranteeing they will finish higher than Dallas. Dallas might still be...

Sunday’s Standings in Points Blown

By
January 18, 2010

In our new Western Sub-Conference, we have ten teams fighting for 5 playoff spots. SJS and CHI have been expelled for being too good, EDM and CBJ for being too bad and COL is out for the moment because they’re the first seed in the NW. In other words, we’re only going to deal...

Burrows and Auger : Tom Benjamin’s NHL Blog :: CanucksCorner.com

By
January 12, 2010

Tom Benjamin is right and right about Bob McKenzie being right: I think Bob McKenzie is mostly right with his comment on the Alexandre Burrows vs. Stephane Auger incident: If the allegations are true – and Burrows has far too much detail and at the very least a compelling case of circumstantial evidence (the...

Hey! That’s Brilliant! Kovi can be our superstar AND our enforcer!!

By

From the Toronto Star: There’s no reason at all to feel sympathy for Ilya Kovalchuk. He’s a rich, talented hockey player who is going to get richer soon, and he might just show next month in Vancouver on the big Olympic stage that he’s even more talented than most believe. Last time we saw...
