Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:51:00 GMT

The ESPYs are back -- and Alex Ovechkin is up for the Best NHL Player award. His competition comes from Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin of the Penguins, Pavel Datsyuk of the Red Wings and Jarome Iginla of the Flames. Malkin and Iginla lost to Ovie in the race for the NHL's Hart Memorial Trophy and Lester B. Pearson Award . The only other local athlete to be nominated in any category is...

A New Set of Twins & The Surrey Sizzle (Kukla's Korner)

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:28:25 GMT

The New Twins: Jeff Paterson, the Canucks Insider, wrote an adoring essay on the Canucks first two draft picks, Cody Hodgson and Yann Sauvé. They also happen to share the same birthday: February 18th, 1990.* Random trivia on Paterson’s new boys: Hodgson likes to think of himself as Sidney Crosby, has spent most of the last 5 years playing for a coach named “Titanic”, and has a thing for...

Malkin set to take Pens-friendly extension (Today's Tribune-Review)

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 04:40:58 GMT

Evgeni Malkin's agent, JP Barry, said Friday his client would follow the precedent set by Sidney Crosby last summer and sign a long-term extension at less than his presumed market value to provide the Penguins salary cap space necessary to remain a Stanley Cup contender.

The Trade Talk (Kukla's Korner)

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 17:52:53 GMT

from Chuck Gormley at the Sporting News, If the Penguins secure Sidney Crosby, Hossa and Jordan Staal as their core forwards, they could spread the news that Malkin is available to the highest bidder. Malkin’s price tag has never been higher, and for the right draft pick/player package, general manager Ray Shero might consider a blockbuster for the talented Russian. The Bruins, Canucks...

MICHAEL ROSENBERG: Pistons' most likely deals: Tracy McGrady, Carmelo Anthony, or ... nothing (Detroit Free Press)

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:37:00 GMT

Normally, I am not a big fan of trade speculation. It tends to get ridiculous: How about Jiri Hudler and Jimmy Howard for Sidney Crosby? No? What if they throw in Evgeni Malkin? I'll tell you what: I'll give you my pickle for half your sandwich. No, I won't throw in the barbecue chips. OK, a few.

I'm sorry but I just can't get excited about the NHL's awards . Not when they're missing a Best Performance in Drawing a Whistle award. Not like Sidney Crosby needs more hardware or anything. After the awards ceremony, Tarik El-Bashir from the Washington Post went to a party for Alex Ovechkin's clothing line . He reports the party was pretty crowded. Here are some pictures .

Give Therrien Some Credit (Kukla's Korner)

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:47:49 GMT

From Mike Brophy at The Hockey News, As I was saying, the Penguins are built on a foundation of young studs, the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal and Marc-Andre Fleury. That is the core of a team destined to get back to the Stanley Cup final before too long – as long as they continue to be coached by Therrien. It’s not as though he’s the only man who can guide this...

Will They Meet Again? (Kukla's Korner)

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:12:17 GMT

From Pierre McGuire at Sports Illustrated, The NHL got a dream finals this spring: Its biggest star, Sidney Crosby, facing the Red Wings, perhaps its most entertaining team. After getting essentially anonymous matchups in 2006 (Carolina-Edmonton) and ‘07 (Anaheim-Ottawa), the league can now hope (off the record, of course) for a Penguins-Wings rematch in 2009. Here’s a look at each team’s...

Pressure On Shero (Kukla's Korner)

from Bob Smizik of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, And so the question of the day is this: Will Penguins fans ever get to see their team raise the Cup? Will they some day get to wonder who captain Sidney Crosby will turn to first? For the moment the answer to those questions rests not with Crosby or Evgeni Malkin or Marc-Andre Fleury or even coach Michel Therrien. The fate of the...

Z, Ozzie, Babcock's hair and other post Stanley Cup thoughts (The Wayne Fontes Experience)

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 20:18:00 GMT

1. Last night cemented in my mind, once and for all, who's the best player in the NHL. Henrik Zetterberg is the best human hockey player in the world, Savior Sid be damned. (Excluding Nick Lidstrom, of course. He's scarily inhuman in his effectiveness.) Hockey is a two way game, and Sidney Crosby is still a one way player. You can never say that about Zetterberg. (Or most any Red Wing...

by Neate Sager , Out Of Left Field All tedious, drawn-out overly long processes for selecting a winner must come to an end, but enough about the Democratic primary. Neither Sidney Crosby nor some curious officiating calls that seemed influenced by a desire to please the heavy-hitters at HQ -- "guess the guys in New York wanted a Game 7," griped Detroit's Chris Osgood, and he was the Stanley...
