Years of frustration have plagued fans of the Florida Panthers. This frustration has been taken out on ownership, coaches, players, and even goalies. Over the past decade, Panther fans have made sure that nobody is immune from the blame game, and in a situation like this, fans have a right to be critical of their team. The only player that has consistently shown that he deserves respect is Tomas Vokoun. Most ...

If you ask me, I would say the Buffalo Sabres have the biggest opportunity they've had for success in a while. They're winning games by playing well on both sides of the ice, mainly the defensive side. Their goalie, Ryan Miller, is the best in the NHL right now, leading the league in save percentage and coming in second in GAA (I don't count Rask because he's only played in 18 ...

It took me a while, but I'm finally able to say that I trust Jimmy Howard in the net. I wasn't too sure if he was what we needed for a while, but I can now say I'm glad we have him. At the beginning of the season, I don't think many fans had confidence in Howard. In October, he had the league's worst save percentage and goals against average. However, that ...

They are currently the coldest team in the NHL, losing nine of their last ten games. That includes a seven game losing streak that ended just last Wednesday. Why wouldn't a fall into last place create panic on a team? It seems like everything has been going wrong for the Edmonton Oilers. Some games, they can't put the puck in the net, and others they can't keep it out. They have been consistently ...

If you don't consider the San Jose Sharks to be a Stanley Cup contender, then you obviously haven't been watching a lot of hockey. San Jose is looking to avenge last year's first round exit with strong play from everyone on the team. Offensively, the team is solid, and has been playing some of the best hockey in the NHL. They have the second best offense, scoring 3.26 goals per game. They ...

It's still in the early stages of development. There hasn't been an official announcement from the Boston Bruins yet, and everything I have heard has only been rumored. However, an announcement from a very credible Slovakian newspaper, hojek.sme.sk has announced that Miroslav Satan is about to sign with the Boston. Since there is only one article that I have found to back this up so far, I'm going to spend less time ...

I don't really know where to start. The fact that the Phoenix Coyotes are playing this well in the middle of the season is a minor miracle. Their success comes after all of the distractions the team faced in the off season, the trouble they had with attendance, and the adversity that was put in front of them by the critics. I don't think that the Phoenix Coyotes could have asked for ...

There have been a ton of surprising things that have happened this season. Whether it's Phoenix's strong play, Toronto's turnaround, or the strong start that propelled the Colorado Avalanche. However, one of the biggest surprises is the New York Rangers, who started out at the top of the NHL have declined to eighth in the standings, and they have been lower. The attitude of the fans has changed from a very positive, "we ...

See more of Eric's NHL Opinions at his blog, Tips for Hockey With all of the media hype surrounding the NHL goalies, it's really surprising that Ilya Bryzgalov isn't being mentioned a lot. After the stories of Martin Brodeur breaking the shutout record, and the coverage of Craig Anderson's stellar start to his season, it would seem like they wouldn't miss Bryzgalov. However, it seems like they have. To me, Bryzgalov is the ...

When you think of teams that are trying to improve their lineups, you may think of the Columbus Blue Jackets. However, the Capitals are the last team that you would expect to make a trade. It was announced Monday night that the Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets had reached an agreement. This agreement sent Jason Chimera to Washington for Chris Clark and Milan Jurcina. Columbus is gaining a couple of strong, ...
