Sid the Kid and friends knocked off the Washington Capitals in game seven of their series 6-2. It was never close with Crosby opening the scoring. Where was Mike Green and his 30 goals for Washington? Were there really no calls to be made against Pittsburgh as the Penguins didn’tContinue Reading
Score early and score often. Advice that leads to a win as the Bruins discovered last night during their 4-2 victory and forcing Carolina to a game 7. I have a hunch the Bruins will survive this series too. Anaheim showed a lot of moxy in forcing a game 7Continue Reading

The Price wasn’t right for Habs fans again last night. It was a spriited game. Even Don Cherry didn’t understand or know why the Habs were being the chippy ones in their 5-1 loss in Boston. The Habs had to take it to Chara and forecheck hard, but what IContinue Reading
