Henrik and Daniel Sedin—I put Henrik first not because he has more points than his brother this season, but because he is older by about six minutes—are identical to the fullest extent of the word. Henrik is more of a play-maker, while Daniel is more of a goal-scorer—and this is one of the few differences you’ll find between the two. Henrik stands at 6’2” and weighs 192 pounds. Meanwhile, Daniel stands an ...

The Washington Capitals were missing superstar Alexander Ovechkin on Tuesday night, but they didn’t miss a beat in their dominant 7-3 win over the Florida Panthers. “I thought we were pretty dominant tonight from start to finish,” Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau told the Associated Press Tuesday night. “It goes to show that when your best player gets down that the guys are rallying around him. It's almost like we’re showing you ...

It’s not a secret that if the Buffalo Sabres want to make any kind of playoff run, certain players are going to have to step their game up—Thomas Vanek, Drew Stafford, and Craig Rivet just to name a few. But there is one name that seems to be escaping a lot of criticism: Lindy Ruff. Buffalo’s head coach, in his 12th season with the Sabres, has made some highly questionable decisions in ...

The NHL regular season has hit its final stretch, and the Calder Trophy race for Rookie of the Year is heating up. The Buffalo Sabres’ Tyler Myers looked like he was going to skate away with the award earlier in the season, but Matt Duchene has had a wonderful second half for the surprising Colorado Avalanche. There are also several other first-year players who have had fantastic rookie campaigns, which should make ...

If the Buffalo Sabres did not have any worries about not trading for a capable backup goalie on the March 3 trade deadline, they do now. Patrick Lalime continued his miserable two-year stretch with the Sabres on Friday night, allowing three goals on 33 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild. Lalime let in two horrible first-period goals which took the Sabres out of the game early—something that generally does ...

The NHL’s GM meetings in Boca Raton, FL., have concluded—and while the debate about “headshots” reigned supreme, the shootout found a way to rear its ugly head. The shootout is regarded as one of the most entertaining events in pro sports. However, the league’s general managers feel that the shootout’s days may be numbered. Amen. “I don’t think any of us, when we approved the shootout, envisioned the role it would occupy in ...

The Buffalo Sabres extended their win streak to three games on Wednesday night with a 5-3 win over the visiting Dallas Stars. Leading the way for the Sabres were the young guns. Tyler Myers, Mark Mancari, and Patrick Kaleta all had big games for Buffalo. Myers, who has looked a little flat since the Olympic break, had arguably his best game of the season. The 6’8” rookie had a career-high four points ...

The other day I wrote a little article about the NHL’s five worst contracts. Here, have a read: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/358852-the-top-five-worst-contracts-in-the-nhl And while there are so many contracts in the NHL that make me cringe in pain when I think about them, there are contracts that also make me believe that there is still some logic left in the NHL. So here are some of the best contracts in the league. For those of you ...

The Buffalo Sabres’ special teams have been a mystery all season long. Buffalo’s penalty kill is currently ranked fourth in the NHL at 86 percent. The Sabres’ extremely high percentage can be attributed to the fact that they have been shorthanded just 214 times this season—the third fewest penalties taken in the league. The Sabres are not overly aggressive on the penalty kill. Instead, Buffalo lets its opponents take the puck into ...

There are a lot of people who think that athletes are overpaid—I’m no exception to that. And while many athletes are overpaid, there are those who deserve their salaries and endorsements and whatever other monies come their way. Is Alexander Ovechkin worth the $9 million he’s getting this season? Of course. But it’s no fun to look at which players are deservedly paid. So let’s take a look at those players who give ...
