My personal favorites are Getzlaf and Semin… Mostly because both players have something the Habs are missing.
Getzlaf is the complete package. He has hands, size, speed, and even playoff experience (won the cup). Semin has scoring touch, he might be overshadowed by Ovechkin, but damn is he quick and agile. Also, seeing as Edmonton stole [...]

For whatever this may be worth… Eklund’s got another one.
Now, I like Michael Ryder. But knowing the kind of player Craig MacTavish looks for I’m not so sure he’d be willing to lose out on some of the things that Horcoff does… like being the kind of grinder and plugger that he is. This isn’t [...]

Have you ever wondered who the most talented player in the NHL is… Probably Not
That’s because you already know him, Alexander Ovechkin #8 on the Washington Capitols.

How much did a team’s style of play help a goaltender achieve lofty numbers?
Does the lack of offense during an era affect how a goaltender is [...]

If Thursday night wasn’t enough for you then get ready for Saturday, when the Montreal Canadiens will play host to the Buffalo Sabres. Like the Senators, the Sabres are packed with offensive skill albeit losing Daniel Briere and Chris Drury to free agency. The Sabres are off to a decent start going 3-2, which in [...]

I overheard a rumor today, from someone who knows “people” in the media. Supposedly , his source was suggested that a Montreal forward and defenseman may be headed to an unspecified Western Conference team. Some say that this deal might go down sooner rather than later.
