It is looking like Drew Stafford will remain on a line with Derek Roy and Thomas Vanek, while Maxim Afinogenov, Tim Connolly and Adam Mair will remain the combo. The other lines are of course Briere, Hecht and Pominville, Drury, Zubrus and Kotalik. The Boston Globe is reporting that Patrice Bergeron was battling a sore knee [...]

The Kings signed NCAA offensive forward Ted Purcell yesterday. I don't anticipate any big numbers from him next year, but if he does well in the AHL I will be quick to stick him on my radar. Interesting - Matt Carle scored the first goal in the series against Nashville and again in the series against [...]

Tomas Holmstrom told the Swedish press that he will not play before Game 4 at the earliest.  The Red Wings shuffled their lines in practice. You could see the following combos, if Babcock goes with them in game action: Lang with Samuelsson (why hasn't he been scratched yet?) and Hudler. Filpulla with Bertuzzi and Franzen.  Henrik [...]

The New York media is saying that Patrick Elias will miss tonight's contest with a...head cold? Hmm. Mustn't be an important game.  The people have spoken. Here is the design for the new dobberhockey shirt: Also available in black & white logo, in a kid's T, and a BBQ Apron - because Dobber likes his meat. [...]
