What will the blueline look like without Volchenkov?
Once the Ottawa Senators were eliminated from the playoffs, the biggest question on the minds of Ottawa Senators fans was "will the Senators keep Anton Volchenkov?" Lately, though, it seems the question has shifted to "What can the Ottawa Senators do when Volchenkov leaves?" Though it's not set in...
Year-In-Review – 8 – Jack Johnson
Now that all the goalies have been reviewed, it's time to move to the defensemen. It might get a little hairy for these guys, but I think there's been enough time from the end of the season to now where I won't be too hard on them. So let's get to it.If you said that the Kings’ defense had more...
Year-In-Review – 9 – Rob Blake
Moving along to JJ's mentor through his first season with the Kings, Rob Blake. Blake definitely had an up-and-down season in terms of numbers, but then again, so did everyone on the roster. I think the only ones that weren't in such flux were Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown. One could argue for...
Year-In-Review – 10 – Lubomir Visnovsky
Little LuboLubomir Visnovsky played in all 82 games this season tallying 8 goals and 33 assists for 41 points. He ended at a -18 and had 34 PIM (although I'm going to count that as 24 since he received that errant 10-misconduct at the end of the season against the Ducks). Lubo definitely had an off...
Year-In-Review – 11 – Brad Stuart
I guess it’s fitting that I move on to Brad Stuart now since his team has won the Stanley Cup.B-Stu!I think I felt just about every emotion while watching Stuart play this year; among them and (for the most part) in order: wonder (didn’t he used to be a Shark?), impatience, nervousness, anger,...
Year-In-Review – 12 – Tom Preissing & Kevin Dallman
I think I spent more than enough time during the season bagging on these two guys. I'll try not to go back to those ways for this review. I put these two in one post because (1) they were paired together by the end of the season, and (2) I don't really have enough to say about them to warrant their...
Year-In-Review – 13 – Jaroslav Modry
Jaroslav Modry was one of the defensemen that started out the year with the Kings but ended up on a different roster in February. He played in 61 games for the Kings this season getting 1 goal, 5 assists (for 6 points), ended at a +2, and had 42 PIM.Modry had been the Kings fans' whipping boy in...
Dead of summer hockey link-dump
I was scanning around the Raw Charge blogroll, among other places, trying to find some interesting perspectives and voices to help amplify with a link in... Sadly, a lot of those sites are either defunct or in hibernation until next season. More on that in the coming days but for right now, let...
Who Would Be Interested In Nilsson?
Earlier today, well-known Oilersphere commenter/writer Dennis gave me a smallish challenge:"Jon: If you have the time, here's an idea I'd like to see explored and you've been doing a lot of good work lately and I think you might be up for it.Over at LT's site, someone brought up the idea of dealing...
