Anze Kopitar will be staying with the Los Angeles Kings for another seven years. Reports say his contract is worth $47.6 million dollars. This means the Kings, who drafted him 11th overall in the 2005 Entry Draft, have him locked up until the 2015-2016 season. That’s pretty incredible considering the fact that only one […]

Looks like Guy Carbonneau will be staying on as head coach of the Montreal Canadiens but no one knows for how long or for how much - Guy said “it’s more than one year and less than 10.” Uhhh… okay… The terms of the deal were not disclosed but club GM, Bob Gainey, made […]

The Vancouver Canucks have named goaltender, Roberto Luongo, their new captain. It’s the first time a netminder has held that position for the team. It’s interesting because the NHL doesn’t permit goalies to wear a “C” on his chest.
I have to admit that, although I can kinda see how it makes sense, I was a […]

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin cleared waivers today and I’m not really sure what’s going to happen for him from here. He’s in the last year of his 4-year, $27 million contract but he really got displaced when the Hawks acquired Cristobal Huet this summer (Huet was given a 4-year, $22.5 million contract).
Do I […]

Ever wonder how the players really live? I know I have.
I was sent an email recently from City File about an article about New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist buying $3.9 million duplex penthouse in midtown. The home has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and is a whopping 2,035-square-feet in size. That’s bigger than my […]

I’m finally back from Las Vegas and I am trying to catch up on all that has been happening in the world of hockey since I left last week. I didn’t get to see any games from last night but, looking at the scores, I’m not too stunned or shocked about anything except for […]

Vincent Lecavalier has been named the captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning and, well, who is really surprised? The team, who has locked up lots of big names in a big way, basically owns Vinny until the end of his career.
I don’t mean that in a disparaging way but, what I am saying is […]

The Detroit Red Wings have re-signed veteran defenceman, Darren McCarty, with a one-year contract extension.
I’m happy to hear this because I came to like McCarty while he was playing with the Calgary Flames. I know he’s had some personal struggles and kinda disappeared for a bit but last season with the Wings seemed to […]

Johnson slammed his foot between the accelerator and brake petal while trying to stop the cart, and started feeling pain in his right knee. Regardless of the pain, he continued with his golf game, only to notice the swollen […]
