Henrik Sedin on Daniel's strong season: "If I had myself passing to me I'd have 24 goals too." Saturday picks will be posted within the hour. Ben Eager suspended four games for a gutless sucker punch on Colby Armstrong. Jiri Hudler had a helper last night, and he now has points [...]

Midseason Guide - out in TWO days! Pre-order it here. Ryan Getzlaf is out for a month with a fractured sinus/orbital bone face. Big opportunity for Matt Beleskey and/or Joffrey Lupul to seize, as Bobby Ryan will probably move to center. Flash actually has 16 in 16 for Colorado, not 14 in [...]

Michael Del Zotto has been sent to the minors. It was the right move. But we've seen flashes of what he can do, he's a great hockey player with a bright future. I still think he can be a 55-point defenseman. Think of this as a confidence boost. Philadelphia has waived Michael Leighton. [...]
