This has been a very important week for the Florida Panthers that has been somewhat under the radar around the league. It's no secret the Panthers have been one of the most futile franchises in all of sports this decade, and whether right or wrong, the blame has been put on the hockey decisions of former majority owner Alan Cohen.
Before I get into my thoughts on the new majority owners, let m...
The Florida Panthers are making up for a sluggish start. Michael Frolik scored twice, Dominic Moore and Rostislav Olesz had a goal and an assist each, and Tomas Vokoun made 26 saves in the Panthers 6-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. After a 2-7-1 start, Florida has won six times in its last nine games, and has earned points in all but two of those contests to rebound back to...
Barring any unforeseen catastrophes, Alex Ovechkin will suit up for the Washington Capitals on Tuesday versus the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden.
This was simply a great game to watch as a fan. Sure the Sabres owned the first and Miikka Kiprusoff was the only reason the period ended tied at one, conversely, the same could be said about the second where the Flames controlled the play but were simply unable to pot the go-ahead goal as Miller stole the show. It was a great game with chances at both ends where both goalies showed why they are c...
BUFFALO, N.Y. - In a matchup between two of the best goalies in the NHL, Ryan Miller didn't blink.
In a matchup between two of the best goalies in the NHL, Ryan Miller didn't blink. Jason Pominville scored the winner in the fourth round of the shootout, and Miller made 25 saves to help the Buffalo Sabres beat Calgary 2-1 on Friday night, snapping the Flames' winning streak at four games. Miller, owner of the NHL's best goals-against average, wound up besting Calgary's Miikka...
The Toronto Maple Leafs certainly can't be accused of babying struggling goalie Vesa Toskala, putting him back in the net on Friday against the offensively rich Chicago Blackhawks.
HNIC's senior online reporter Tim Wharnsby dishes out the latest news, buzz and inside information in the hockey world, including where Canadian teams rank on the Forbes most valuable list, as well as a family get-together Thursday night in Arizona.
CBCSports.ca senior reporter Tim Wharnsby names Niklas Kronwall, Ryan Miller and Randy Jones as his three stars from Wednesday's NHL action.
With the game on the line, the Buffalo penalty killers came up big. Ryan Miller made 28 saves, and the Sabres killed off a late 5-minute penalty to snap a two-game losing streak in a 3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night. Ahead by a goal but down a man and without one of their best penalty killers, the Sabres erased a major boarding penalty on Clarke MacArthur with 6:15 left.
Any player that executive director Steve Yzerman has marked down for a spot on the Canadian Olympic men's hockey team roster has been written in pencil at this point.

For a man enraged just 20 minutes prior, after a heated bout with Buffalo's Paul Gaustad, Shawn Thornton looked as cool as a cucumber after Saturday's 4-2 home victory for the Bruins. It was so typical of the always entertaining veteran winger. The ever-comical forward sat grinning with his left leg propped atop his right, anxious to inflict side splitting laughter as he fielded questions from the...
No. 1 Star: Evgeni Nabokov, San Jose Sharks The Sharks netminder was solid against the defending champions making...
The Buffalo Sabres have called up goaltender Jhonas (YO-nis) Enroth from the minors to fill in after backup Patrick Lalime hurt his groin. The move was announced Wednesday prior to Buffalo's home game against the New York Islanders. Coach Lindy Ruff said Lalime is day to day after he was hurt in practice earlier this week.
Canadians should expect a bit of a youth movement when the red and white hit the ice in Vancouver in a few months, according to Steve Yzerman, Hockey Canada's executive director.
The Washington Capitals were hoping superstar Alex Ovechkin's upper-body injury would only keep him out a game or two, but they announced Monday he will be out a bit longer.
In his resignation email from the NHLPA advisory board, released over the weekend, ex-player Ken Baumgartner questions the motives of the union's four-member review committee.
Martin Biron wore a hard hat and a grin after a big night of milestones for the New York Islanders. As a reward for earning 200th NHL win and 26th career shutout, Biron donned the Islanders' informal reward for the player of the game. It could've been shared with Jeff Tambellini, who posted his first NHL hat trick.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Game Night in Smashville as the ghosts and goblins come out for a spooky time at the Sommet Center as the Nashville Predators go for three wins in a row. The Dallas Stars are in town with injuries to Mike Modano, Jere Lehtonen and a goaltender that is sick in Marty Turco and are coming off last night's shootout loss to Florida.

The credo of a bad team is that they lose games even when they outplay or outchance their opposition. Last night, at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo that credo was proved correct as the Toronto Maple Leafs lost a heartbreaking 3-2 decision in overtime to the Buffalo Sabres. The confines of the HSBC Arena have never been kind to the Leafs, even when they were a contending team and their opposition was p...
Ryan Miller and Tim Connolly were at their best with the game on the line for the Buffalo Sabres.
Ryan Miller and Tim Connolly were at their best with the game on the line for the Buffalo Sabres. Connolly scored on a power play 1:04 into overtime -- his second goal of the game -- and Miller made 33 saves to help the surging Sabres beat Toronto 3-2 on Friday night. Miller improved to 8-0-1, and the Sabres (8-1-1) won their fourth straight game to match their second-best start after 10 games...
Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke sent struggling forward Viktor Stalberg to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League on Thursday and recalled centre Jiri Tlusty, who leads the Marlies in scoring this season.
The man who shipped Wayne Gretzky out of Canada wonders if several American markets would be calling the NHL home today if not for his "tough" decision on Aug. 9, 1988.
