By only allowing a pair of goals in the first two games against Dallas last week, Osgood has helped Detroit to continue their dominance in the 2008 playoffs. Mr. Reliable has yet to lose a game in this current post-season.

Call it what you want - The Booty Call, Butt-Strom or A hole in the rules - but the waved-off Wings' goal last night should not be looked at as costing the Wings a series sweep of the Dallas Stars.  Sure the goal would have given the Wings a 1-0 lead in the game, sure Dallas would have had to chase the Wings again - but the Stars were not going down without a fight.

Everyone had Dallas losing last night. Even the hometown media were...

Struggling Ottawa Senators should lose swagger

By : Marty Henwood 168 days 13 hours 3 minutes ago.

Scoring should be least of NHL’s worries

By : Marty Henwood 168 days 15 hours 29 minutes ago.

I've got a suggestion to cure the apparent goal-scoring shortage that seems to keeping NHL general managers awake at night.

NHL broadcasts leave much to be desired

By : Marty Henwood 168 days 17 hours 27 minutes ago.

Pierre McGuire had one of those moments during the Canucks-Ducks game Tuesday night that makes you wonder what, exactly, you need to get a job in broadcasting these days.

During one of those cheesy break-in-the-action moments where a talking head sticks a microphone in the face of a sweaty, stinky player right on the ice during a TV timeout, McGuire used his wisdom to ask Ryan Getzlaf of the Ducks something along the lines of, "You've got an eight-game point streak going.

Miikka Kiprusoff, Mike Keenan headed for showdown?

By : Marty Henwood 170 days 1 hour 18 minutes ago.
Rating:

If Mike Keenan gets the pink slip in Calgary, don't be surprised if Miikka Kiprusoff offers to be the one delivering it.

 Something is amiss in Cowtown. It is safe to say Keenan might be inside the head of his star goaltender.
