With all of the playoff speculation floating around, there is a general consensus about the Detroit Red Wings. Most people believe that the Wings will make the playoffs, but some have argued otherwise. Here are the reasons that I believe the Wings will be seen in the post-season.

The Detroit Red Wings have suffered a lot this year, mostly from injuries. At one point, the Wings had nine of their 18 starters on the injured reserve and were forced into relying on rookies called up from the AHL.

I’ve heard a lot about the Chicago Blackhawks’ goaltending situation. A lot of that is from other writers talking about the goalies, but more recently, from the Vokoun trade rumors that floated around the NHL.
Personally, I think that the rumor was fueled by a bunch of Chicago bloggers that got excited from the speculation thrown around [...]

With the end of the season quickly approaching, the playoffs have started to come on everybody’s mind. Many teams are currently fighting for a better spot, and some are fighting for a spot at all. These games are the most important games of the entire season. With that said, here are my predictions for the [...]

There’s not much to say about my first medal predictions. Those were pretty much taken away with the first USA vs. Canada game. I had picked Canada to win gold, Russia to win silver, and Sweden to win bronze, but a couple of upsets made that impossible.
But, that’s hockey. It’s very easy to say that [...]

Team Canada entered the tournament as a Gold Medal favorite. With a bunch of talent and experience on their roster, most people expected them to glide through the round-robin tournament undefeated. Yes, I am one of those people, I actually predicted them to win the Gold Medal.

I’ve been writing a lot about the Olympics for the past few weeks. I’ve written articles on this website and other websites which have compared teams, talked about strengths and weaknesses, and even given medal predictions.
However, I haven’t really focused on the players. After all, those are the people that will be representing their countries. [...]

Here are the Olympic predictions for the 2010 Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament in Vancouver. There are a lot of teams with a lot of talent, but here are my predictions on who’s going to win the gold medal.

For the past few months, Ilya Kovalchuk has been the figurehead of the trade market. He grabbed the attention of the media and started debates all over the internet. With New Jersey ending the drama by acquiring Kovalchuk, we have to wonder where the next “sweepstaks” going to be.
While the media was busy being distracted [...]

With the March 3rd trade deadline quickly approaching, many teams are scrambling to make changes in their lineup. There have been a lot of trade rumors floating around the NHL, but the Florida Panthers have been pretty quiet. Florida said that they wanted to see if they were in playoff contention before they make a trade.
