This might be one of the best hockey goals I’ve seen in a while. Take a look:
Just outstanding, right?

The second NHL Winter Classic is coming up, pitting the Red Wings vs the Blackhawks at Wrigley Field. Here’s a time lapse video of the making of the ice:
Pretty cool. Hopefully this Winter Class will be as good as the first one.

This isn’t surprising. Sean Avery was banished from the Stars for his offensive comments a couple of weeks ago.
I don’t think anyone will take him. Why would they?

Sean Avery, ever the pot-stirrer, was suspended for his ‘offensive remarks’. See for yourself
I don’t understand. What good comes from suspending him? Is it protecting him? The league? Sure, it’s an offensive remark, and there should have been some sort of punishment- a fine or something. But to suspend him? You might as well take [...]
Here they are:
1. San Jose
Easily they best team. Wonder how they will respond to postseason pressure
2. Detroit
Champs still got it
3. Boston
Showing amazing grit, and Tim Thomas is an animal
4. New York Rangers
Surprising inconsistency, but Hank Lundqvist is the best in the league.
5. Washington
When Alex Semin comes back, watch out.
6. Pittsburgh
Such a powerful offensive team.
7. Vancouver
When [...]
In case no one saw this coming, Brian Burke is the new GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Formerly of the Ducks, I’ll be interested to see how, or if, he turns it around. They’ve been playing okay, despite expectations. Obviously, scorers are needed. Goalie, Vesa Toskala, is all right. Let’s see how he does. [...]
Patrick Roy’s son(s) are in hot water again. They continue to get suspended for their junior hockey antics:
Another case of Roy rage
You would think that Patrick Roy would straighten them out, tell them how to act as professionals. Guess not.
(PS. If anybody knows how to embed MSN videos, please tell me!)

Here they are:
1. New York Rangers
Gutty win against Boston, and Chris Drury is playing possessed now.
2. Sharks
Best team in the West
3. Boston
Tim Thomas continues to impress
4.Detroit
Impressive away record
5. Washington
Alex Semin is a monster
6. Minnesota
Niklas Backstrom is turning into a top 5 goalie
7. Pittsburgh
Having Sid the Kid and Malkin plus Cup experience is a dangerous combination.
8. [...]
Just 14 games in, the Tampa Bay Lightning have fired head coach Barry Melrose. He will be replaced by Rick Tocchet on an interim basis. The firing was somewhat justified; The Bolts were 5-7-4, good for 13th place. But here’s my question: Why even hire him in the first place? I don’t get it. He [...]
Here’s your NHL Power Rankings
1. Sharks
Best Record in the league
2.Rangers
Second best record. Quick note about them. They have the best goalie in the league, in the name of Henrik Lundqvist. But who’s going to score? Chris Drury broke out with a hat trick. But, when Aaron Voros is your leading scorer, you have a problem.
3.Detroit
Champs [...]
