NHL News Break

Phoenix Coyotes Right-Winger Peter Mueller is primed to break out this season playing along with Shane Doan and newly acquired Olli Jokinen.  He is 20-years old, but Mueller proved his worth scoring a hat-trick against San Jose on Monday.  Mueller scored 54 points and 32 PIMs in his rookie campaign, and we are looking for Mueller to get […]

All of those who have already drafted Mr. Power Play Point Sergei Gonchar have a few decisions to make.  First, how long will Gonchar be out?  It looks like Sergei Gonchar will be out the next four to six months with a separated shoulder he received in the exhibition game versus Tampa Bay.  So now […]

With naysayers around the league looking for a decline in Vinny Lecavalier’s numbers, we are targeting him to finish as a top-10 player, and the center of attention in Barry Melrose’s Lightning resurgence back to the top into the playoffs.  Vinny’s sore shoulders may slow him down slightly but a month of rehab will do the […]

The hype over the Blackhawks is mainly over their first scoring line that is made up of the sophomore tandem of center Jonathan Toews and right-winger rookie of the year Patrick Kane.  In addition, the left-wing is held by Patrick Sharp.  Sharp is entering his sixth season after breaking out last season with 36 goals, […]

With the addition of Brian Campbell to their defense, and Cristobal Huet at goalie, Blackhawks fans have reason to believe they have a good team on their hands.  The addition of Campbell to the defense supplants a young and budding defensive effort last season from Duncan Kieth, Brent Seabrook, with a veteran 50-assist season presence. 

With one month left before the 2008-2009 NHL season begins, NHL superstar Mats Sundin is not sure if his 37-year old frame can handle the grind of another season.  Sundin questions whether he can play at the top notch NHL level like he has for 17 seasons. 
If Sundin does play, we can expect another 30-goal, […]
