George Parros seems to skate – or maybe I should say, beat people up – to the beat of his own drum. He breaks the stereotype of being a knuckle-dragging troglodyte of an enforcer, as Parros has an ivy-league background. So it probably shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that he’s bringing his own…

You never know with the New Jersey Devils, but it sounds like Martin Brodeur’s injury isn’t too severe.

Ed Jovanovski has played almost 1,000 regular season games in the NHL, yet he did something for the first time in his career last night: he scored three goals in one contest.

There were some great saves last night (heck, Chris Mason made 52 saves by himself), but to me it came down to a a great split stop by Miikka Kiprusoff and a 2-on-1 desperation stick save by Jonas Gustavsson. After a considerable amount of deliberation, I decided to give it to Gustavsson, particularly because it…

It seems like Loui Eriksson has been watching Mike Ribeiro during shootouts the last few years. The underrated winger scored a great penalty shot goal during the Stars’ 5-2 thrashing of the Pittsburgh Penguins last night, using a move that reminded me of the one that Ribeiro perfected a few years back to frustrate many…

For recaps of the night’s other six games, click here. Detroit 2, Calgary 1 This finishes the Calgary Flames’ five-game home stand (apparently their longest of the season) at 2-3. That being said, the Red Wings almost had to win this one, as they out-shot the Flames 33-17. Miikka Kiprusoff deserved better in this one,…

Tensions boiled over between the Stars and Penguins tonight, as you can see from this fight between Sidney Crosby and Matt Niskanen.

There are three late games (Detroit-Calgary, Nashville-Phoenix and Tampa Bay-Phoenix) that we’ll recap tomorrow morning. In the mean time, enjoy summaries of the six other games of the night.

Tonight’s great goalie performances: Thomas earns 7th win, Chris Mason stops 52 shots
Nov 3, 2010, 11:14 PM EDT
Comments Off
While Brent Johnson’s great start to the season is coming to a screeching halt in Dallas, two other goalies played excellent hockey tonight. The first performer shouldn’t come as a surprise while the second one might raise a few eyebrows. Gosh, Tim Thomas is really slipping isn’t he? He brought a .50 GAA into tonight’s…

Martin Brodeur leaves game early with right hand/wrist injury; X-rays negative
Nov 3, 2010, 10:10 PM EDT
It seems like the bad news keeps coming for the befuddled New Jersey Devils. If things weren’t awful enough with their league-worst start and recent news that Zach Parise will be out three months with a knee injury, things could get even worse as goalie Martin Brodeur reportedly left the team’s game against the Chicago…

Patrick Roy criticizes Lightning coach Guy Boucher’s system, Boucher responds
Nov 3, 2010, 9:15 PM EDT

Patrick Roy is, by the estimation of many, the greatest goalie in hockey history. Even people who poke holes in his game will admit that he at least needs to be in the discussion. But with that unique talent comes plenty of character. Simply put, Roy is a weirdo who says (and does) some pretty…

With Zach Parise out, Devils make Ilya Kovalchuk one of their alternate captains
Nov 3, 2010, 8:24 PM EDT
Comments Off
It’s easy to blame Ilya Kovalchuk for nearly everything that’s going wrong with the New Jersey Devils right now, who will play the Chicago Blackhawks tonight. Yet it’s clear that New Jersey’s $100 million man isn’t the only issue in the Garden State. The Devils have been besieged by injuries so far, even beyond losing…

Much like Mike Ribeiro in Dallas, Minnesota Wild forward Guillaume Latendresse thrived once he left the glaring spotlight that comes with being a member of the Montreal Canadiens. After scoring only three points in 23 games for Montreal in 2009-10, Latendresse scored 25 goals and 12 assists to compile 37 points in 55 games in…

The Hurricanes apparently decided to bump their rookie forward Jeff Skinner up to the top line with Eric Staal.
