We’ll find out today whether or not Jeff Carter will be an Olympian. He’s in Vancouver, ready and willing to take the place of injured but not so injured Ryan Getzlaf. The Ducks forward played last night in Anaheim’s final game before the Olympic break after missing two straight with a sprained ankle. With Canada’s…
The Flyers are desperate to make up ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race, and a weekend home-and-home with one of the NHL’s weakest teams could be just what the doctor ordered. Winners of 10 of their past 12 games, the Flyers look to continue the momentum they built in a comeback win over the…
Knowing full well that a lot of you will disagree with me – hell, I’m disagreeing with my initial reaction – I ask whether Darroll Powe should be suspended for his hit on Jaroslav Spacek. We can mostly agree that Spacek put himself in such a vulnerable position and is therefore at least partially responsible…
Tim McManus, Adirondack Phantoms beat writer at the Glens Falls Post-Star, joins the show this week to talk about everything Phantoms. Unfortunately, at recording, we weren’t aware of Johan Backlund’s injury, but that doesn’t take away from the discussion we had at all. We talked about the inseparable defensive duo, Kevin Marshall and Marc-Andre Bourdon….

Short show this week, and it’s a few days late, too. Sorry about that. We taped on Tuesday night and I was supposed to have this up Wednesday morning, but those are the breaks. So what that it’s Friday? Anyway, as mentioned, it was a shorter show this week. Ben, Geoff and I talked for…
No, that’s not a pun and yes, I’m serious. Braydon Coburn has gotten a lot of criticism so far this year – some of it from me – and I thought it would be good to look into how he is actually performing. Coburn had a lot of expectations on his shoulders this season. This…
OK, maybe nothing is a bit harsh. All of these Olympians will have left with something more than they came with, be it one of those sweet Latvia pins, a story of a glorious play made against the best in the world, or maybe just a small scrape from shoving down one of those pesky…
This photo was taken on Monday morning on the I-95 side of the Wachovia Center. Don’t get used to calling it that, however, as clearly the Wells Fargo Center will be here pretty soon. It looks like they might even be attaching the letters to the building today, what with the crane-looking device positioned next…
This weekend, a group called EveryBODY Skates New Jersey will travel up and down the state, hitting all 54 NJ hockey rinks in an attempt to raise awareness for disabled hockey. Disabled hockey programs often times have trouble establishing themselves at local rinks because ice time is at a premium and owners do not believe…
