Boo Ducks; Ducks 2, Kings 0
The whole crosstown rivalry with the Anaheim Ducks is something that I don't get too caught up in, but that doesn't mean that I don't hate the Ducks more than any other team in the league. I do hate them the most, and, for the second day in a row, I'm bummed that the Kings have dropped a game. But...
15 years ago today: 1940 No More!
On June 14th, 1994, the New York Rangers finally exorcised the ghosts of 1940, but it didn't come easy. Ranger fan Mike Fornabaio wrote a great piece on Game 7, and what Ranger fans went through that night. It's perfect, so I am going to use it here: I really couldn't say this any better than Mike...
Vancouver Canucks Update and Misc.
Lots of stuff happened in Vancouver over the last week. For starters, they recalled first Matt Pettinger, and then Kyle Wellwood and Jaosn Krog. Pettinger was snagged by the Tampa Bay Lightning on re-entry waivers, which is almost always a good move, given that they now only need to pay half of his...

Ex-Hurricane Bret Hedican, who has been holding out for a job in California, finally got his wish and was signed today by the Anaheim Ducks. Sportsnet has the story here. The defenseman signed a one-year contract for $870,000. Hedican is just 12 games shy of playing 1,000 career NHL games.
The Word on Bret Hedican - Waiting
I've received a couple of recent emails asking me if I have heard anything about Bret Hedican. Has he signed anywhere yet? Has he retired? Is he playing in Europe? To the best of my knowledge, the answer is no, no, and no. I have not seen a single thing about him signing with any team yet. ...
Comeback - Jeff O'Neill Gets Camp Invite
Jeff O'Neill has been invited to Hurricanes training camp this fall, on a tryout basis. Lord Stanley's Blog broke the news with confirmation from Jim Rutherford. The controversial winger had his best years in Carolina and will be trying to resurrect his career after taking a "year off" last...
Updates and Loose Ends
I spent some time over the weekend updating a few things on the site and testing some new templates. I have not found the perfect one yet, but I will keep trying. The only thing that really bothers me about this one is that if you are using internet explorer, the right sidebar looks like a mess. ...
Burnin' For You - Which Free Agent Does Carolina Covet?
Obviously, the Carolina Hurricanes are in desperate need of defense. Earlier this week we looked over the team's roster, reviewed possible trade scenarios, and examined where the Canes stood concerning their budget limitations. We also mentioned in that article that we thought the new salary cap...
You say Setoguchi, I say Yamaguchi
Well, I don't know where Brian Burke keeps finding money to spend ("Hey, Samueli's going to jail! Let's blow all of his cash!"), but apparently the Ducks have signed Mr. Yamaguchi to a one-year, $870.5k contract. If you're looking for a cheap, not-very-productive fantasy defenseman, you may have to...
