Hockey Rambling

A friendly reminder: today is the "Spring forward" daylight savings time adjustment. Remember to adjust your clocks, and try not to think too much about how you lost a precious hour of your life overnight.   *   By far the biggest hockey story of the night - from both a fantasy, and a playoff [...]

Anton Khudobin with another solid performance for Carolina on Friday night making 40 saves, albeit in a losing cause. I have to say, I remember debating with someone in the Ramblings earlier in the year about Khudobin’s ability to steal the job from Cam Ward. I didn’t think he could but I’ll admit I was [...]

      What the Bruins did to the Capitals last night was clinical. It was a dissection. I know the Caps played last night and had to travel all the way from Philadelphia but that’s embarrassing. The Bruins outshot the Caps 42-16, winning 3-0 and didn’t even take a single penalty.   If you [...]

What a great couple of days of trades. I didn't imagine there would be that much action. The past couple of deadlines have been stinkers but this one was a beauty. It was great to have the action stretch over a couple of days, which technically limited the number of "deadline day" deals but certainly [...]

Deadline chat! It won't be live streaming, but it will be even more active as everyone jumps in - join myself, Laidlaw and others by clicking this link. The chat is open right now and will run throughout all the action! * David Legwand has been traded to the Red Wings. Analysis to come. Tomas Vanek [...]

Update - The news keeps rolling in. Carolina did the smart thing and re-signed Anton Khudobin for two more years at a $2.25 million cap hit per James Mirtle. Man, am I going to have time to do ramblings tonight or just keep editing Michael's? Dobber jumping on. Transactions are moving fast and furious and [...]

For those who missed seeing the breakdown of the Pirri deal on the front page, read it here. * I saw a graphic Saturday night that showed Evgeni Malkin led the NHL in points over the last three seasons, while Phil Kessel is second. Just more ammo for the pro-Malkin people in their battle with [...]

As Saturday night unfolded - and the vast majority of games were played in the afternoon  to avoid counterprogramming the 5th outdoor game of the year in Chicago - the Ryan Kesler story, and the Penguins' "aggressive pursuit" of the two-way ace, morphed into one of the major story lines.    It was pretty funny [...]

The Buffalo Sabres began life without Ryan Miller and Steve Ott on a positive note Friday night, picking up a 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks.    Jhonas Enroth got the start and looked strong in a 36-save effort. I grabbed Enroth earlier in the night once I heard the Miller trade was imminent, as I [...]
