Video Of Day: Keep Your Head Up Artie
By Derek Felix at 7 December, 2009, 12:13 pm
Today’s edition is courtesy of a wicked legal hit by Detroit defenseman Brad Stuart catching Russian rookie Artie Anisimov with his head down. As he’s about to dump the puck, he gets leveled. That’s two big hits in over a week. One of which was dirty from Matt Cooke. If he wants to stick around, [...]

In case you’ve been in the dark, our server crashed the other night. Along with 2Man and a couple of other popular NYSD blogs, the heavy volume finally took its toll, resulting in a predictable server crash which unfortunately prevented us from doing what we pride ourselves on. Updating our teams. Thanks to some hard [...]
Read More >>Ovechkin suspended 2 games
By Derek Felix at 1 December, 2009, 5:40 pm
Alexander Ovechkin’s reckless style is finally on notice. After a second ejection in three games for kneeing Carolina defenseman Tim Gleason, the electrifying Russian superstar was suspended two games earlier today as handed down by League Deputy Colin Campbell. There’s no question he deserved a ban and was lucky he and Gleason weren’t more seriously [...]

By Derek Felix at 7 November, 2009, 2:41 pm
It was a familiar script for Ryan Miller against the Flyers. Last season, the Buffalo netminder struggled along with the rest of his teammates dropping all four meetings. Unfortunately, the wrong trend continued with Philly getting the better of Miller and the Sabres 5-2 at HSBC last night.
Oddly enough, the Flyers’ fifth consecutive win over [...]
Devils hold off Isles 2-1 in Elias’s return
By Hasan at 7 November, 2009, 6:48 am
Even before tonight’s game with the Islanders, the Devils had a busy day tending to the revolving door that is their roster. First, the Devils put Rob Niedermayer and Johnny Oduya on IR, meaning they’ll both miss at least the next couple of games – including what would have been a reunion between Rob and brother Scott, now [...]

By Hasan at 25 October, 2009, 10:05 am
I was looking forward to doing a recap of the Devils’ impressive 4-1 win in Pittsburgh last night, the team’s best performance of the season by a mile. Unfortunately the news that defenseman Paul Martin and winger Jay Pandolfo were both hurt and likely with long-term injuries last night trumps even a fifth straight road win that upped the Devils’ [...]
Read More >>Fraser to play for injured Mottau tomorrow
By Hasan at 23 October, 2009, 2:33 pm
So it turns out late in last night’s Devils win over the Rangers that defenseman Mike Mottau injured his hip (not in his earlier fight with Sean Avery), though it’s not deemed to be serious he won’t make the trip to Pittsburgh for tomorrow’s game against the defending Stanley Cup champs. With Cory Murphy safely tucked away [...]

By Derek Felix at 29 September, 2009, 5:06 pm
Coming as no surprise, Mike Del Zotto indeed made the Ranger cut earlier today. Only 19, the former 2008 first round pick that the club selected 20th overall will start the season in Ranger red, white and blue.
The organization has nine games to decide if the Stouffville, Ontario native who wears No.43 is fully ready. [...]
Okposo cleared to skate
By Derek Felix at 26 September, 2009, 11:38 am
The Islanders got some encouraging news yesterday. Right wing Kyle Okposo passed a baseline test following his mild concussion suffered at the hands of a devastating high hit from Calgary defenseman Dion Phaneuf last week.
According to Newsday’s Katie Strang, the 21 year-old Okposo resumed skating on his own Friday. The former 2006 seventh overall pick [...]
Fogarty was far from alone: Dealing with Anxiety
By Derek Felix at 2 September, 2009, 2:16 pm
Alcohol is commonly used to relieve anxiety. Then it becomes a cause of worsening anxiety. The alcohol initially reduces social discomfort, then it makes it worse. It becomes a vicious cycle.
-Henry Kranzler, MD, social phobia expert at University of Connecticut School of Medicine
