Posted by cegeland 7 hours ago (http://www.vancouversun.com)
In any case, the Vancouver Canucks emerged from six weeks on the road broken up by that Olympic thing sitting atop the Northwest Division and with a playoff spot almost secured.
The Canucks did some interesting work on the 8-5-1 odyssey. Most notably, they began it by coming back from three goals down in the Centre of the Universe to shock the Maple Leafs 5-3 on national TV, outscoring Bri Read More »

Posted by cegeland 7 hours ago (http://www.nhl.com)
The NHL's top rookies -- Matt Duchene, John Tavares, Victor Hedman, James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Myers -- are in uncharted territory: None of them has ever played this many regular-season games.

With roughly 16-18 games left for most teams, the Calder Trophy race is fairly solidified and rather surprising ... at least in the sense that, for the second straight season, we may not see an offensive player win the rookie prize.

Posted by OilerFan 2 days ago (http://www.edmontonjournal.com)
Edmonton Oilers coach Pat Quinn has adopted a win-and-you're-in philosophy with his young goalies in the last six weeks, so we'll see what happens now that Jeff Deslauriers has turned mortal.
