The Combine started today with a slew of promising soon to be supertsras coming in to see where they might be drafted at and who will get them. The Sens were prominent at the Combine, I’ve been told they interviewed 3-4 players today and will continue to interview more as the Draft nears. The last couple of weeks have been slow on Sens’ front but with the Draft coming. In all due respect to other prospects, it very well may be Zack Kassian the Sens take. The Sens need a power forward and Kassian is just that. The Bruins took [...]

So the Stanley Cup Finals are here and it’s Penguins-Wings all over again. These two teams have a nice rivalry going on right now and this could be on of the best Finals ever. I went 1-1 in the Conference Finals getting the Pens right but the Hawks wrong. So far I’ve gone 8-6 in the playoffs which isn’t bad, but here’s the grandaddy of ‘em all, the ifnal pick! Here we go… (2) Detroit Red Wings vs. (4) Pittsburgh PenguinsThe Red Wings have actually gone out of the Western Conference virtually unmarked. They got banged up a little in [...]

Right now this is in the early stages, but I have spoken to a few sources who seem to agree that Pierre Lacroix, the interim GM of the Colorado Avalanche, is interested in Dany Heatley. Even though Bryan Murray said Heatley’s on the no-trade list, if the value for him is right, then this could be a possible deal. There are many possibilities in the return but the main cog that Bryan Murray would like to get is the 3rd overall pick in this year’s draft currently owned by the Avalanche. Murray would like to have that pick because players [...]

Well I went 6-2 in the 1st round and 1-3 in the 2nd round. That’s how unpredictability in the NHL playoffs happens. Canada again won’t win the Stanley Cup for the flippin 16th straight year. Damn those Hawks. Just a bit of a re-cap, I chose the Penguins to win the Cup in the pre-season. Then I chose the Sharks to win the Cup before the First Round. Then I chose the Canucks to win the Cup before the Second Round. Now, I’m changing again with the elimination of the Canucks and going back with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Here are [...]

Bored on a Thursday Night, I’ve decided to do a new version of the draft. Since the teams are now settled, we know their needs. I’ll be choosing on that category and the person they get I will put an NHL comparable. Here zeeeeeeeeet is! Pick #1- New York Islanders select…John Tavares In the near future, I stil think Victor Hedman will be a better all around player than Tavares but the point of the Draft is to fulfill your team’s needs and the Islanders need a scoring threat in their lineup. Johnny T has a quick but accurate shot [...]
