I really wanted to put up something regarding the upcoming entry draft, but to be honest, there are way too many folks out there who know much more about these young fellows than I do. So I wondered, how am I going to do this? Wouldn’t it be great if I could rely on someone [...]

“You always wonder whether guys are ready to pay the price in games like these. You wonder and then you’re afraid maybe a few of the guys won’t or can’t go higher and farther, and that could be enough to hurt you.” So said then-forward and now assistant coach Kirk Muller after his team had defeated [...]

I hope you didn’t shave today. It’s playoff time. If you did, what were you thinking? The goalies are set – Halak and Theodore - and the hockey world waits for the Washington slaughter of the Habs to begin. It’s not going to be the least bit fair, no it’s not. The Caps are too big, too [...]
