Offensive Fervor Lifts Bolts Over Sabres
TAMPA - The Tampa Bay Lightning gave up two goals to the Buffalo Sabres in the last 22 seconds of the first period in the Bolts' 7-4 dismissal of Buffalo on Sunday evening. The win ended four one-point losses in the last five games as the Lightning's latest three...
Red Wings’ Overtime Goal Stops Lightning
TAMPA - Detroit Red Wings' center Marco Kasper scored at 3:32 in overtime and the Red Wings shaded the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-3, in a loss that once again thwarted the Bolts from being in position to secure a second seed in the Eastern Conference. The goal marked the...
Ducks “Goalie” Edmonton
Is the question whether the Ducks could skate with the Oilers or whether the Oilers would let them? In their first period together, the team from Anaheim went blade-for-blade with the Canadian team on Monday night. The Oilers way outshot the Ducks, anyway, 14-6, but all but one were either blockered aside with a “thwack” off the waffle or swallowed up in Lukas Dostal’s belly pad.
Going Out Excellent
It’s rare to find someone as good as his or her profession at the end of a career as he or she was at the start, particularly in sports. However, in Los Angeles, broadcasting excellence often carries from generation to generation: Chick Hearn, Vin Scully, Bob Miller, and Nick Nickson.

HOCKEY HISTORY
Hockey History: A Tale of Two Hockey Lifers
Hockey Lifers can be described as people who fell in love with the sport at an early age and found a way to stay involved with the game even when their playing days were over. In most modern-day cases, players move into coaching, scouting or broadcasting. But back in the days of the Original Six, those opportunities were few and far between.
Retro Rangers: One Man’s Fantasy is Another’s Reality
Raise your hand if you ever fantasized about practicing with the Rangers and having a couple of beers with them later on. Well, our fantasies became Gene “Scoop” Koerner’s reality as he did that and much more when he became the Blueshirts practice goalie in the 1970s.

NHL 24 Fails to Deliver
The latest edition of EA Sports’ NHL hockey video game series – NHL 24 – is available now on PlayStation and Xbox. Last season’s release was quite disappointing, and our hope was that NHL 24 would represent a huge leap forward and take full advantage of next-generation console power. Unfortunately, it falls short and disappoints again this time, in some even more critical ways.
