By Michael Walters The Anaheim Ducks bought out Corey Perry on June 19th. According to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun, the Ducks were provided with a 4-6 team trade list from Perry but could not work out a deal so he was subsequently bought out. His no-movement clause was one stumbling block and his $8.6 million salary…
By Jameson Bradley The hockey world held its breath as the season started a couple weeks ago. But with it, there also came an announcement that Sidney Crosby had suffered yet another concussion and would not start with the rest of the team. There was, and has been no word on when he will exactly…
By Jameson Bradley As the leaves change color and the temperature drops, hockey fans know the most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner. As the season approaches, more questions have been raised than there are answers to satisfy us. Could Brad Marchand have gotten more money elsewhere? Is Milan Lucic the answer for Edmonton? Will P.K.…
By Jameson Bradley The Sam Jose Sharks made for an interesting series on Thursday night when they pushed for a Game 6, keeping the Pittsburgh Penguins at bay and from winning the Stanley Cup at home. Everything seemed to be tilted in their favor to push for a Game 7. They had the home…
By Jameson Bradley If you would have told me the outcome to Game 5 on Thursday morning, I wouldn’t have believed it. Everything that has happened in this series has pointed to the Penguins taking this in 5 games. But for the Sharks to win Game 5? They had to clean up their act. And…
By Jameson Bradley After a rousing Game 3 in the Shark Tank, San Jose evened the odds a little by putting the series at 2-1. Pittsburgh still had a game in hand, but the Sharks took their first home game, and no one was going to be surprised if they evened the series before they…
By Jameson Bradley They said it would be different when the series shifted to San Jose. They said don’t give up on the Sharks. They said it was going to be a great Stanley Cup Final. And they were right. The Finals went from Pittsburgh to San Jose, CA on Saturday night. While most of…
By Jameson Bradley As much as the scales tipped back and forth in Game 1 of the SCF, the Penguins came out with a victory. Many were weary of the Penguins taking Game 2, especially since for (what seems like) the millionth time this post season they had a lead and lost it going into…
By Jameson Bradley Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final did not disappoint. With the stage set for two very deserving teams, the scales were tilted in either direction on who was going to win Game 1. Lets dive in. 1st Period The Penguins knew what they were fighting for and the Sharks still hadn’t…
By Jameson Bradley The greatest time of year is finally here. After a hard fought season, the best from the East and the best from the West will face off for the greatest trophy in all of sports. The San Jose Sharks will make their first ever Stanley Cup Finals appearance against the Pittsburgh Penguins.…
By Jameson Bradley Although the score was 2-1 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final it didn’t say much about the game played. After both the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Pittsburgh Penguins fought hard to win 3 games each, it came down to a Game 7 to decide who was going to move…
By Jameson Bradley The Tampa Bay Lightning had everything in their favor going into Game 6 on Tuesday night. Playing in Tampa. Check. Series advantage. Check. One win away from a second Stanley Cup appearance in two years. Check. Everything was going their way until the game started and a few minutes in what looked…
By Jameson Bradley And in a matter of 53 second the Tampa Bay Lightning are one win away from going to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in two years. With Sunday’s game set in Pittsburgh, the boys in black and yellow looked to take a commanding 3-2 series lead and hopefully finish…
By Jameson Bradley After evening the series 1-1 on Monday night in Pittsburgh, the Eastern Conference Finals moved to a much more humid climate and started the two game home stand in Tampa. The Penguins looked to take a commanding 2-1 series lead, while the Lightning looked to do the same on home ice. As…
By Jameson Bradley The best in the East has been decided. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that a series between the Pens and the Lightning was the last thing everyone was expecting. It has been a roller coaster of goals, saves, and injuries for both teams to get to this…
