We’ve seen a lot of newsworthy moments this summer for the Dallas Stars:  saying goodbye to franchise icons Mike Modano and Marty Turco, while watching them offer their services elsewhere, ownership drama and campaigns, the draft, Ribeiro trade rumors…shall I go on? (Yeah I had a panic attack too when proof reading this part, so I had to wait for the Xanex to kick in before continuing).

Canadiens Summer Recap Part 1

NHLHS Montreal Canadiens Correspondent Christopher Nardi presents his Habs Summer Recap. A summary of the major news out of Montreal so far this off-seasons.

From boom to bust, the Habs off-season started with a bang and has since calmed.

Is the city of Montreal still standing? Where can I get my poutines from now?

Where’s the big move?

NHLHS Washington Capitals Correspondent Jodie Smola discusses the lack of movement from the Capitals and wonders what went wrong.

While many teams  have taken advantage of the early stages of the free agency period, I can’t help but feel that the Caps need to make a big move. As I write this, I’ve been waiting 14 days for GM George McPhee to work his magic…and I’m still waiting.
