NY Islanders Fire Head Coach Ted Nolan

Yowza.  The New York Islanders have fired head coach, Ted Nolan, after just two years with the team.  Isles GM, Garth Snow, cited “philosophical differences” as the reason for the split. 
I personally think that Nolan was a great addition to the team - he got them to the playoffs in 2007 and, overall, […]

Jagr Signs 2 Year Deal with Russian League

Jaromir Jagr has left the NHL.  Shocked?  I am, to be honest.  At his age, and given his level of success, I thought he would end his career with the Rangers and, well, that would be it.  Instead, Russian team, Avangard Omsk, has reportedly given him a $5 million per year deal.
Jagr says it […]

Flyers Acquire Niskala From Nashville

The Nashville Predators have traded defenseman, Janne Niskala, to the Philadelphia Flyers, in exchange for forward Triston Grant and their seventh round pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
