Penalty Parade: How The Stars Have Slowed Their March To The Box
For about the first quarter of the season, Dallas Stars fans, and probably the team's coaches and players, were driven more than slightly crazy by the team's habit of taking silly penalties at critical moments. And as the season has worn on, though, things seem to have gotten better. Although...
Dallas Stars Daily Links: Team Believes Flyers Game Not A Setback In Discipline
Glen Gulutzan isn't really on the same page with the media who cover the Dallas Stars. Most of those outlets wrote something to the effect of "The Dallas Stars slid into their old, penalty-filled ways in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Gulutzan, however, isn't sure how that became...
Bits: The Conference Finals Begin (And Links)
The Eastern Conference finals began last night with the Bruins being drubbed by the Lightning who came out of the gate with furious anger. The game was essentially over mid-way through the first period as Sean Bergenheim kicked off a 3 goal in 85 second barrage that dug the Bruins a significant...
Boucher is not worried about being outshot, just focusing on the task at hand
Although the Lightning have come out with both wins while in Washington, no one is counting out the Capitals just yet. The Lightning were outshot by the Capitals 37 to 23 in Game 2 and have been outshot by the opposition 322 to 227 through 9 playoffs. With a day off before the back-to-back set of...

Florida Panthers: Least-Penalized team In the NHL
Many experts believe that today's NHL is won or lost on the power-play. Unfortunately for the Cats, their power-play, while improving, still ranks dead last in the league. There is a lone bright spot though; the Florida Panthers have given up the fewest amount of penalties (both in terms of minutes...
Head Cases: The antics of two professional sports leagues
It's been well documented that the National Football League has had serious problems with concussions. The latest findings, however, suggest that the NFL has an even bigger problem than they had previously thought. Many football players aren't reporting their concussions for fear of ridicule and...
Senators' penalty woes continue
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article on how the Senators were rather undisciplined, taking far too many penalties. Somewhat surprisingly, it went mostly ignored -- not just my article, but the fact that the Senators had a problem with taking too many penalties. I guess it was easy to ignore...
Even-Strength Scoring Rate - before and after the lockout
I was looking at James Mirtle's post on how the new penalty/refereeing regime has changed the NHL, post-lockout, and I started wondering if we could see a difference in even-strength scoring rates. It stands to reason that teams score just as often on the power-play as they used to, but may be less...
Trying to Stay A-'Head' of the Game
Well folks, it looks like I'm moving up in the world. Apparently, Dom despises me so much, that he just had to have me on his team instead of listening to my mouth (a la our pal Sean Avery). You know the Rangers are the only people in the hockey world who would actually consider saying anything...
