Let’s Get This Out of the Way…
The Goose's Roost —
by Ryan
Listen, I’d love to get all riled up about Alexander Ovechkin and how he’s a cheap shot artist, but the truth is he’s not. He plays the same kind of game Pat Kaleta plays, it just so happens that Ovechkin has the game’s best natural scoring ability. That puts them on completely different levels on a lot of things, but not laying a body check.
Was it from behind? Yeah, sort of. Was it a penalty? Yes. However, to call a five and a game as the first penalty of the game in the third period? Well, that seems like a bit much to me. I ...

Why Injuries Are on the Rise – Part II
Crash the Crease —
In Part I of this examination of why there has been a drastic increase in injuries to NHL players this season as compared to the same point in 2008-09, we looked at the increased size of players, the development in technology of players equipment, and the speed of the game as three reasons. In addition, there are three more main reasons which seem to be contributing to the IR list, as well as those players playing through injuries, AKA “the NHL’s walking wounded”.
In Part II, we will look into more reasons as to why NHL injuries have been increasing at an alarming rate:
