Osgood  Reveals Goaltending Secret

Chris Osgood has recently revealed the secret to his improved play
this season. It appears that he has started wearing glasses under his helmet…Which I think he stole from the league video review office sometime between Chris Simon’s 30 Game ban for stepping on Jarkko Ruutu and the time when Chris Pronger received a gift wrapped box of chocolates and a chilled bottle of Dom Perignon from the league following his stomping of Ryan Kessler.

Gretzky Praises Ovechkin

Gretzky recently claimed that Alexander Ovechkin is the games most exciting young star and The Great One even thinks Ovechkin could reach his record of 92 Goals in a season. This is high praise for the young Russian, although we have been touting his dominance for months! (Gretz must read NHL Digest)

Jeez, he’s not even two seasons in to his 15- year deal and he’s already got a broken hip!

3…2…1…Clear!

Buffalo traded away defenseman Brian Campbell, along with all of their hopes and dreams. The Sabres blue line is now anchored by Teppo Numminen, who has been cleared to rejoin the team six months after having open heart surgery. The maintenance crew at the HSBC arena has been working fevorishly to extend the Sabres bench to accomodate Numminen’s oxygen tank and walker in hopes that it will be ready for the next home game.

Hands In My Pocket – Hands In My Pocket

The new owners of the Nashville Predators are close to final approval on a revised lease agreement for their arena that has Nashville taxpayers helping subsidize the team. It must be nice to own a professional sports franchise.

Looks Like Someone’s On The Way Out

Todd Marchant was nominated by the Anaheim chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association for the Bill Masterton Trophy, which recognizes sportsmanship, perseverance and dedication to hockey. This is the NHL’s “Wow, I can’t believe you’re still here…maybe you should think about retirement” award, as Marchant is on pace to have the lowest point total of his career. Of course, that’s one one more point that I’ll ever get in the show!
