Napa Valley?...No Virginia piedmont?...Nope. Philadelphia?...We have a winner! It's one thing for players to engage in some trash talking and the raw emotions of post-game interviews that elicit quotes of an unflattering or accusatory nature with respect to the opponent. But from the media? Only ...

The picture says it all. Two is greater
than one, no matter how large the value of
“1.” Here is what we mean by that. The Caps came out with a rush, scoring a power play goal barely two minutes into the game. You might have thought, “this is ...
What do we make of The Curious Case of the Neglected Nylander? Here is a player who coming into this season built a solid career for himself. Over 15 seasons he had a per-82 game line of 19-43-62, +7. He'd actually done better in each of his two seasons with the New York Rangers, eclisping all ...

Caps – Flyers, and given what transpired in the
game on Saturday against the Rangers, perhaps there is no opponent more appropriate to face in this first game since then than the Flyers. It’s ...

There were ten fights recorded in the NHL
on Saturday. However, only two of them will get
a lot of attention this morning and, perhaps, for the next few days. In one, Sidney Crosby – allegedly the poster boy of the National Hockey League – was ...
After taking four leads in the game -- and losing them all -- Jordan Eberle scored for Team Canada with 5.4 seconds left in the semifinal game in the world juniors tournament to tie the game at 5-5. Eberle said afterward, "That probably ranks up there with one of the biggest goals of my ...

We don't profess to be up on the internets as much as you young kids, although we do have a Twitter account (perhaps the least used in the inventory). But we were wondering what some tweets might look like from some NHLers... "Spending time watching old Reebok commercials from when I was the ...
