The Stanley Cup Finals are well under way but the NHL has put together a collection of plays from the past week. Clearly, it’s going to be all about the Pittsburgh Penguins/Carolina Hurricanes series as well as the Detroit Red Wings/Chicago Blackhawks series.  Fortunately, there were some pretty sweet moments in both the Eastern and Western Conference Finals. 
Here’s a breakdown of the plays but definitely check out the video.

Fedotenko cruises the crease and scores on Ward – Looking at it, I can barely believe that this happened in a playoff game.  Along with Ward, there was like 100 …read more

With the Eastern and Western Conference Finals are well underway, TSN took a look at the Top 10 plays from the semifinals and, I don’t know about you but I always love these highlight reels.
Here are the plays that TSN selected as the best of the semifinals.  Do you agree with them?  I do for the most part.  If there’s one that you think is missing, let me know!
#10 – Check out the amazing goaltending of Carolina Hurricanes’ netminder, Cam Ward, who shuts the door on the Boston Bruins!
#9 – Ryan Getzlaf (ANA) will not be denied by Chris Osgood …read more

I was on NHL.com and I spotted the video for the best plays from last week.  I don’t want to sound like a broken record but things have really been intense with the playoffs starting next week and people are just putting in the extra effort.  The goaltenders, in particular, are just pulling out all the stops and standing on their heads.  It is really amazing and makes me love this sport that much more.
Watch these incredible plays.  My favorite highlight was from the St. Louis Blues @ Chicago Blackhawks game when Toews (CHI) tries to score, Mason (STL) makes …read more

With playoff fever sweeping across the NHL, the on-ice id definitely heating up.  These “plays of the week” packages are getting better and you can see that the players are very determined to fight for a spot in the postseason.  Of course, there is a clip from when Martin Brodeur (New Jersey Devils) became the NHL goalie with the most wins in history (beating the record set by the great Patrick Roy).
Make sure you see the goal made by Martin Havlat (Chicago Blackhawks) around the 4:45 mark.  He leaps across the ice and takes a shot in mid-air and scored …read more

Here are some of the best plays from last week across the NHL.  I am not a huge fan of Roberto Luongo (goalie, Vancouver Canucks) but I have to admit that he made an incredible save!  There were several good clips from the Washington Capitals vs. Ottawa Senators game (I don’t even want to look at the highlights from the Montreal Canadiens/Toronto Maple Leafs game) and, of course, I loved the saves that Calgary Flames netminder, Miikka Kiprusoff made (too bad his team sucked majorly last week for the most part).
