  — Authority:
  Monday night’s Bruins/Flyers contest was being billed as the preview to the NHL’s Winter Classic.

• Seven Bucks finish in double figures against a bad defense. But I’ll take it.

  
  — Authority:
  By Jake McCormick It would be way too easy to kick the Toronto Raptors while they’re down by making a clichéd joke about their nonexistent defense. But when a team like the Milwaukee Bucks crossover 100 points halfway through the fourth quarter and start slacking defensively because they’re that confident in ...

  Lundqvist seeing rubber! (photo by Wikipedia) By Jon Gabrielle,  NY Rangers correspondent     Who says the New York Rangers don’t have a game plan?

• How Bad Are the Flyers Right Now?

  
  — Authority:
  The Flyers stink right now. There’s no other way to describe how a team with the talent they have is incapable of playing any better than they are. It should be remembered that every NHL team goes through slumps during an 82-game season but their performance in the past 3 weeks is inexcusable. Sure, the [...]

  — Authority:
  Panther fans have seen a lot of extra hockey this season (pointnshoot/flickr) Fans of the Florida Panthers are having a heck of time figuring out how to feel about their home team.  7 of the team’s 15 home games have gone to extra time.  Free hockey, as the saying goes, for those who paid for 60 minutes.  The ...

• Hot!Hot!Hot! . . . as in 120 Points-Worth!

  
  — Authority:
  The Capitals  last season finished 50-24-8 for a team record 108 points. At 19-5-6 this morning, over 82 games they project out to 52-14-16, and a tidy 120 points. Serious Cup contender at such a stratosphere? We think so. That’s not to suggest that the Caps have a blemish-free roster, or vulnerable habits — ...

• Rangers “outwork” Sabres, 2-1.

  
  — Authority:
  By Jon Gabrielle, NY Rangers correspondent     If Brian Boyle’s shot, that hit the post with 70 seconds remaining, didn’t add more grey to John Tortorella’s already aging goatee, then certainly Jason Pomenville’s goal with 59 seconds left, surely did. With the score 2-0 Rangers, and Buffalo using an ...

  John Stevens was fired today by the Flyers. In four seasons behind the Flyers bench, Stevens was 120-109-34 and his playoff record was 11-12. True, these numbers aren’t stellar but they aren’t terrible either. Stevens took over in ‘06 with a team that was historically awful, posting a record of 21-42-11. In his ...

• Senators struggling to find “identity”

  
  — Authority:
  A little over a quarter way into the season and the Senators are 4 games above five hundred. Not bad, considering your best centreman is going through one of the biggest slumps of his young career, and you’re supposed starting goaltender is down with yet another injury (as freakish as it was). The Senators have ...
