    • from Eric Adelson of Yahoo, T he hockey gods are laughing now. They snicker in the still of Pittsburgh, chuckle in the dark corridors of NHL offices in New York and bellow in the wild streets of Montreal. They kept quiet for so long, so long that fans must have wondered whether they departed for good. Had the sport changed completely, from team-first to star-centered? Were media-blessed stars like Alex Ovechkin(notes) and Sidney Crosby(notes) really able to take over and win on their own

  • Which team will you take? (Canadiens or Lightning)

    • Top-6 of the Bolts is clearly better. In defense, botton-6 and in the goal, Habs are better.
