We have reached what is generally considered the half-way point of the NHL season. With that of course comes the All Star game. But before we jumped into our coverage of the event we had to discuss the return of Teemu Selanne to the Ducks. Our Team of the Week this episode was the Montreal Canadians. As usual we wrapped up the show with the Three Stars of the Week which was wrought with controversy!
NHL: To absolutely no ones surprise Teemu Selanne is back with the defending Stanley Cup Champion Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Following the path of former captain Scott Neidermayer whose return has marked a notable turn-around for the Ducks, Selanne brings his back-to-back 40+ goal, 90+ point campaigns into an already formidable offensive attack.

We made it through episode 13 of the Sin Bin Show without any hiccups this week! That is the good news. The bad news came in the first story we covered: Crosby is hurt. To round out the news segment we looked at some of the trade rumors that have been swirling about. In the Team of the Week we looked at the Philadelphia Flyers who have kept pace with the Devils and Penguins to tie them for the lead in the Atlantic Division. As always we finished off the show with the Three Stars of the Week. This time the segment’s Sin Bin Player of the Week could have fit in to the top two spots with his offensive numbers, but with his gritty play he earned the third spot.
General Managers all over the league have been outspoken with their steadfast disapproval of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainments’ lack of professional etiquette and disrespectful conduct. Most prominently this furor is directed at the ‘debacle’ (to quote Leafs’ Coach Paul Maurice) characterized by the effectively labeled Lame Duck GM John Ferguson Jr., who thanks to MLSE’s procedural malfeasance is presently handcuffed to the radiator staring at the Trade Hotlines off in the distance.
According to hardliner, and fellow GM Brian Burke, JFJ doesn’t have a leg to stand on when he reaches out in the trade market. Burke draws from his experience as a lame Duck in Vancouver when he alludes to the near impossibility of making a deal considered equitable on both sides. Continue Reading here

Episode 12 of the Sin Bin Show took a little longer to record than usual. The length of the show wasn’t really affected as it was only 24 minutes. We had numerous problems while recording it though. Hopefully you won’t notice any issues, but if you do we apologize for them in advance. It was a great show though. We kicked it off by talking about the huge contract extension that Alexander Ovechkin signed, and then we rounded out the news segment by looking at the starting line-ups for the NHL All Star Game. In the Team of the Week segment we discussed how well the Pittsburgh Penguins have been doing of late. As always we wrapped up the show with the Three Stars of the Week including the Sin Bin Player of the Week.
Hockey purest continue to deny changes are necessary, but reality dictates otherwise. The NHL needs needs to stop looking in the wrong places to improve (see: enlarged nets) and listen to these recommendations. Continue reading here.

Anticipated by notable sports personalities to be an inevitable disaster, the pleasantly robust entertainment value provided by contest between the Pens and Sabres lowered the collective blood pressure of the events’ anxiety-ridden organizers. While slightly compromised by the uncontrollable flurries which plagued visibility and puck handling throughout the latter portions of the ‘Ice Bowl’, the viewing public was treated to a event of exceeding quality.
What was billed as a vital showcase for the great winter game, The Winter Classic in Buffalo on New Years Day left few of the 73,000 fans disappointed. Continue Reading here.

Episode 11 took a little bit longer to get out than expected due to some computer problems and the holidays, but it was still packed with news from around the world of hockey. We started things off by looking at the Chris Simon suspension and whether he even deserves to play in the NHL anymore. We moved on to a much better story for hockey, the Winter Classic. We finally had a western conference team to talk about in the Team of the Week. It was the Dallas Stars. As usual we capped off the show with the Three Stars of the Week, including a very deserving Sin Bin Player of the Week.
