This is getting interesting. Someone doesn’t want Ilya Kovalchuk to sign with the New Jersey Devils. An arbitrator voided the contract he originally signed with the team, and now the NHL has rejected the latest proposed framework. While no formal contract was submitted, the two sides talked conceptually. Photo Caption: Devils executives are asked about [...]

An independent arbitrator has agreed with the NHL that the contract between Ilya Kovalchuk and the New Jersey Devils is a bunch of crap.

The Philadelphia Flyers are going to start Michael Leighton in goal tonight despite the fact that they’ve lost his last two starts. Still, he was pretty good in those starts and it’s not like the Flyers have Pelle Linbergh in his prime sitting on the bench. Tonight, look for the Flyers to take on the [...]

One of the best teams in hockey, just got a little better. I mean a lot better. The New Jersey Devils acquired Ilya Kovalchuk, Anssi Salmela, and the Thrashers’ 2010 second round pick from Atlanta for the Devils’ 2010 first and second round picks, John Oduya, Niclas Bergfors, and Patrice Cormier on Thursday night. Obviously, [...]
