Naslund a Ranger
There was no way Naslund could remain a Canuck. He was too stoic, too quiet, too soft. He didn't take teammates to Chuck E. Cheese's, didn't take his team to the Stanley Cup, didn't kibitz with the media, didn't practise hard and didn't fight. And Naslund wasn't fiery enough as captain due, you know, to being Swedish, although nationality didn't seem to hinder Nicklas Lidstrom as he led the Detroit Red Wings to the Stanley Cup last month. There was no way Naslund could remain a Canuck. He was too stoic, too quiet, too soft. He didn't take teammates to Chuck E. Cheese's, ... more

Washington Capitals' Alex Ovechkin captures Hart Trophy as the NHL's Most Valuable...
Jun 12, 2008, 8:59 PM EDT TORONTO -- Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin capped an award-filled season by winning his first career Hart Trophy as the National Hockey League's Most Valuable Player and Nicklas Lidstrom of the Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings captured his sixth Norris Trophy as the League's top defenseman at the 2008 NHL Awards Show.
Ovechkin was a runaway choice for the Hart, receiving 128 of 134 first-place votes for 1,313 points in voting by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association. Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins, who tallied one first-place vote and was the second choice on 66 ballots, was runner-up with 659 points.
Ovechkin tallied 112 points (65 goals, 47 assists) in 82 regular-season games, collecting the Art Ross Trophy as NHL scoring leader and Maurice Richard Trophy as the League’s top goal scorer. He also led all players in power-play goals (22) and game-winning goals (11). Ovechkin set the single-season NHL record for goals by a left wing, surpassing Luc Robitaille's 63 with Los Angeles in 1992-93, and his 65 goals were the most by an NHL player since Mario Lemieux in 1995-96.

Where to watch NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL online
The Internet is not just a place to get the latest scores and follow your favorite team in the standings. The Web has evolved so well that it has displaced traditional media as the first-stop source for all your major-sports needs.
Except for local coverage, there?s no need to watch TV sportscasts anymore. Pardon the sports pun, but the Internet has all the bases covered ? from providing the usual scores, standings, and statistics to rich, always-available highlights, interviews, streaming games, downloadable games, podcasts, extensive season and historical archives, and a host of mobile solutions from wallpapers and ringtones to live GameCasts with Audio. Best of all, there are no timetables.
The Big 4 professional sports leagues in the U.S. ? the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL ? have leveraged existing footage (usually developed through their ?official? networks) to create their own unique content. The leagues flood their Web sites with an overwhelming array of branded digital content so fans can stream games, download ones they missed, and watch clips packaged in so many ways the head spins. The Internet is not just a place to get the latest scores and follow your favorite team in the standings. The Web has evolved so well ... more -

Meet Sidney Crosby
Don't watch hockey much but this kid is worth checking out.
"For a kid who can't legally buy a beer in Pittburgh, Sidney Crosby (he won't be 21 until next August!) has done pretty well for himself in the NHL.
In his first season at age 18 (and 253 days), he became the youngest player in league history to reach the 100-point plateau, totaling 102. He accomplished the feat by finishing the season with a fantastic flurry, racking up 37 points in his final 23 games." Don't watch hockey much but this kid is worth checking out. ... more
