NHLPA files unfair labor practice charge

  • NEW YORK (AP)—The NHL players’ association on Tuesday filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board regarding negotiations with clubs over European player releases.

    The latest move by the union followed notification that it lost a grievance challenging the NHL’s institution of defected player status on drafted and unsigned European players.

    That came about because of a lack of an International Ice Hockey Federation transfer agreement between the NHL and hockey federations in some European countries.

    The filing of the charge with the NLRB was confirmed by union spokesman Jonathan Weatherdon. The NHLPA declined to comment further because of the ongoing legal matter.

    The New York Post first reported the union’s action Tuesday on its Web site.

    In the last collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the players’ association, the union fought for European players to have the same rights as their North American counterparts.

    The union’s loss of the grievance gives teams permanent rights to these European players as long as there is a lack of an IIHF transfer agreement between the NHL and international hockey federations. The NHLPA is trying to avoid reverting to a time when the NHL controlled the rights of European players forever.

    The charge by the players’ association against the NHL said: “Since on or about June 26, 2008, (the NHL) has failed and refused to bargain with the NHLPA over a mandatory subject of bargaining by unilaterally implementing a rule substantially modifying and restricting the manner in which players under contract to European Clubs may gain employment (in the NHL), without first providing notice to, or bargaining to agreement or good-faith impasse with the NHLPA,” the New York Post reported.

    Testimony by NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly was crucial in the NHLPA losing its grievance. Daly and former union executive director Ted Saskin agreed in a letter on July 22, 2005, to temporarily adopt defected player status for Europeans since an IIHF transfer agreement wasn’t in place.

    That agreement expired and the union didn’t want to extend it, but the NHL sent a memo on May 19 to the 30 general managers to advise them that it was putting the defected players status back in effect, the Post said.

Devils lose Brodeur

  • Martin Brodeur will have to wait longer to break the NHL records after tearing a distal biceps in his left elbow last weekend.  He will be out for 3-4 months.  He will undergo surgery Thursday.

Trotting Along

  • Barry Trotz coached his 750th game, all with Nashville, becoming the 31st NHL coach to reach that milestone and just the 10th to do so with the same team.

oh, they’re hurt:

  • Martin Brodeur (Devils): out 3-4 months with torn distal biceps.

He shoots… the scores:

  • New York Islanders 2 - 1 New York Rangeres
  • Carolina Hurricanes 5 - 4 Toronto Maple Leafs (Overtime)
  • Ottawa Senators 2 - 1 Washington Capitals (Overtime)
  • Vancouver Canucks 4 - 0 Nashville Predators
  • Phoenix Coyotes 4 - 2 Calgary Flames
  • Anaheim Ducks 2 - 1 Los Angeles Kings (Overtime)
  • San Jose Sharks 3 - 1 Minnesota Wild

    Russian forward Alexander Radulov was wrong to sign with a club in his home country while under contract with the Nashville Predators, hockey’s world governing body ruled Wednesday.  But the International Ice Hockey Federation said it had no legal basis to suspend him because there is no agreement in place to regulate international transfers. The ruling indicated Radulov had a binding agreement to serve the one year remaining on his Predators’ contract. (sports.yahoo.com)

  • Moose Jaw Warriors’ Joel Broda is named CHL player of the week
    Moose Jaw Warriors forward Joel Broda was named the CHL player of the week on Wednesday.  Broda had five goals and six points in three games, all Warriors wins.

Trades & Rumours:

From Spectorshockey.net:

  • Sources claim the Bruins have been active in the trade market for some time, “with some talk of a possible blockbuster deal involving top scorer Marc Savard - although the center has a no-trade contract and would have to agree to any swap.”

  • Insiders claim the Chicago Blackhawks are now targetting Michael Nylander of the Washington Capitals, with sources claiming they’ve made two offers to the Capitals for him. There was also talk of the Vancouver Canucks having interest in Blackhawks winger Martin Havlat but the ‘Hawks don’t appear willing to move him and the Canucks want to see Havlat play a sustained period without injury.
  • The Rangers have to make a decision on where winger Petr Prucha fits into their current roster or if he even fits in at all, noting that there isn’t much market value for Prucha at this time.
  • Anaheim Ducks GM Brian Burke isn’t done making roster moves to free up more cap space despite clearing $1.25 million yesterday by dealing Sean O’Donnell to the LA Kings.
  • The Blue Jackets have placed forward Mike York on waivers with the intent of demoting him to their minor league affiliate in Syracuse.
  • Tough guy forward David Koci is likely to survive the club’s roster cuts especially with Nick Tarnasky’s recent trade to Nashville. Cristodero also reports Michel Ouellet cleared waivers but wasn’t immediately assigned to the minors, suggesting a possible trade might be afoot.

Kings Fire Coach Crawford

Posted by admin on 11th, 2008

After a conference low 71 points last season, the Los Angeles Kings have given head coach Marc Crawford his marching orders.

Crawford, who’s record over his 2 seasons with the Kings is a dismal 59-84-21.  Last season the Kings tied with Eastern Conference bottom feeders, the Tampa Bay Lightning on points.

“In the end it just comes down to fit,” Lombardi said in a conference call Tuesday afternoon. “It’s just a gut call on fit.”
- Yahoo! Sports

In a division that includes strong teams such as the Dallas Stars, Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks, the Kings need to do far better to compete.

Ron Wilson to coach the Toronto Maple Leafs

Posted by admin on 11th, 2008

A month after being fired from the San Jose Sharks, Ron Wilson has a new job, one that to many, could be considered a promotion.

It was announced today that Ron Wilson has been hired as the new head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

“I’m the happiest person in the National Hockey League today,” Wilson said. “I’m fulfilling a dream.

“Obviously if you lose your job in the league you often wonder if you’ll get another opportunity,” he said. “The furthest thing from my mind at any point in my hockey career was that I would have an opportunity—ever—to coach a team like the Toronto Maple Leafs with their incredible history.”
- NHL - Yahoo! Sports

When talking about the Maple Leafs as a team, Ron Wilson was quoted as saying;

“I view the Leafs as a team in transition,”. “It’s going to require a lot of work and a lot of attention to detail.
- NHL - Yahoo! Sports

Ron Wilson, who’s coaching career in the NHL stands at 518-446-127 has coached for the Washington Capitals and Anaheim Ducks before heading to his last post in San Jose.

8 Games Suspension Not Enough For Pronger

Posted by admin on 16th, 2008

NHL Disciplinarian Colin Campbell announced today that Chris Pronger of the Anaheim Ducks will receive an 8 game suspension after stomping on the calf of Vancouver Canuck Ryan Kesler.

“In attempting to free himself, Pronger carelessly and recklessly brought his foot down,” Campbell said in a statement.
- Yahoo! Sport

The suspension has raised an outcry among the public who are shocked to yet again see a double standard from the NHL when it comes to handing out discipline to players.

Earlier this season the NHL suspended Chris Simon for 30 games after he was found guilty of stomping on the ankle of Pittsburgh Penguin Jarkko Ruutu.  Does it not seem odd then that Chris Pronger would only receive 8 games?

The Chris Simon suspension was long because Simon was considered a “repeat offender”, and someone that needed to learn the hard way.

What does that make Pronger, who now has been suspended 8 times in his career.   Surely we don’t need to remind you of last season where he received 2 suspensions during the playoffs for rough / dirty play, including that elbow to the head of Dean McAmmond in the Stanley Cup Finals.

The answer is there, if you look hard enough.  Chris Simon is not an all star player, nor a big point scorer, or a crowd drawing player.  Chris Pronger is.  Chris Simon is not a Norris quality player.  Chris Pronger is.

Is the NHL too scared, maybe even gutless to come down hard on an all star player?   Chris Pronger has shown that these stupidly small suspensions do nothing to encourage him to clean up his game, so why don’t Gary Bettman and the NHL do something about him?

Something to think about.

Pronger will be able to play again on the last day of the regular season, meaning he will be free to throw his weight around in the playoffs. Let’s hope, for the sake of the opposition players that he learns to control himself before then.

Trade Talks Heat Up

Posted by admin on 13th, 2008

In 2 weeks the NHL will face the much talked about Trade Deadline.  Like every year, there have been big names mentioned, some of which may surprise you.

Yahoo Sports columnist Chuck Gormley wrote an article recently on the trade deadline, and section in particular really makes you sit back and wonder “what can we expect”…

Last February 27, overzealous general managers orchestrated 25 deals involving 44 players and 28 draft picks in the hours leading up to the trading deadline.

In the 26 days of February before that frenzied finale, another 24 trades involving 47
- Chuck Gormley, NHL@ Yahoo

It is perfectly safe to assume that we can expect a similar frenzy over the next 2 weeks.  We’ve already seen one multi-player trade, with Ottawa sending Joe Corvo & Patrick Eaves to Carolina in exchange for Mike Commodore and Cory Stillman.

The big names this year however feature players whom people would least expect to be traded, such as Toronto’s Mats Sundin.  He may be the heart and soul, and the leader of that team but it looks like he may be shopping for a new home come late February.

Rob Blake of the L.A. Kings, Brian Campbell off the Buffalo Sabres and Olli Jokinen of the Florida Panthers are 3 others whom many are shocked to see on the block.

Atlanta may be forced to trade Marian Hossa, knowing that he does not intend to stay come the end of the season.  As they do have a shot to make the playoffs, trading Hossa could be a shot in the foot.  If they keep him however, they risk not getting anything in return when he packs his bags as a Free Agent.

Mike Comrie is rumoured to be on the block in New York and Martin St Louis, who has been in many a trade discussion over the recent weeks is said to be a possible mover in Tampa Bay.

The Anaheim Ducks, who have struggled defensively even with Schneider, Neidermayer and Pronger on the blueline are said to be interested in Rob Blake.

Talk of the early season, the Dallas Stars may end up doing very little in the coming weeks, with the team having found it’s scoring touch and with Marty Turco tearing it up between the pipes.

One thing is for sure, we’re in for a fun ride over the coming weeks.

We here at 2minsforhockey have Richard Zednik in our thoughts after the incident today that ended with Zednik being rushed off the ice with a deep gash to his neck.  While hockey has it’s darker side with fights and big hits, it is the accidents that make us step back and realise the danger that these guys put themselves in on a daily basis.  Todays featured video is of the Zednik incident.  It is graphic in nature, but covers the full feed and not just the blood like many others.  With wish Zednik a quick recovery.

Richard Zednik - Throat Slashed By Teammate’s Skate - Graphic
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Florida Panthers forward Richard Zednik underwent surgery to close a deep gash on the right side of his neck and was in stable condition Sunday night after he was cut by a teammate’s skate during a game. “The surgery was successful and he’s resting comfortably in the hospital,” Panthers spokesman Brian Goldman said. Blood gushed from Zednik’s neck after he was hurt midway through the third period of Buffalo’s 5-3 victory, creating a frightening moment that delayed the game for about 15 minutes. There was also a brief discussion about postponing the game altogether. Zednik was behind the play and skating into the right corner of the Sabres’ zone, when teammate Olli Jokinen was upended by Sabres forward Clarke MacArthur. Jokinen fell head-first to the ice, and his right leg flew up and struck Zednik directly on the side of the neck. Clutching his neck, Zednik raced to the Florida bench, leaving a long trail of blood. When he arrived, he nearly fell into the arms of a team trainer, who quickly applied a towel to the cut. Zednik was then helped off the ice by the trainer and teammate Jassen Cullimore, and escorted to the Panthers’ dressing room. “We shouldn’t have finished the game,” Jokinen said. “I saw the replay, that it was my skate that hit him in the throat. I think we were all in shock. I’ve never seen anything like that. There are bigger things than (finishing the game). It was terrifying. “I didn’t think anyone on our team was thinking hockey out there after an injury like that. If it was my call, I would have gone to the hospital with him.” Panthers spokesman Justin Copertino said Zednik was transported by ambulance to Buffalo General Hospital. Copertino said the team was making arrangements to have Zednik’s wife, Jessica, fly from South Florida to Buffalo by a charter flight Sunday night. The team was scheduled to return to Miami, but assistant general manager Randy Sexton and assistant trainer Dave Zenobi planned to stay behind with Zednik, Copertino said. Zednik’s injury left players and coaches on both benches stunned, and a silent hush fell over the crowd at HSBC Arena. NHL vice president Colin Campbell consulted with Sabres general manager Darcy Regier and referee Bill McCreary in a tunnel after Zednik was loaded into an ambulance. Campbell, who was not available for comment, attended the game in part because his son, Gregory, plays for the Panthers. In a statement, the NHL said that Campbell talked to commissioner Gary Bettman and decided to continue the game after knowing that Zednik was stable, that trainers had stopped the bleeding, and that the teams were willing to go on. The league said: “The thoughts and prayers of the NHL family are with Richard Zednik, his loved ones, his teammates and the Florida Panthers organization.” “I can fully understand if they wanted to cancel the whole game,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. “It was pretty solemn. There wasn’t a lot being said (on the bench). There was just more concern for Richard than anything else. “When you see something like that, it isn’t about playing anymore. But I said, ‘We’re going to finish the game and it’s going to be what it’s going to be.’” As crews scraped the blood from the ice and the surface was cleaned by Zambonis during the extended delay, the public address announcer said: “Richard Zednik is in stable condition and on his way to a Buffalo hospital.” The crowd stood in applause during the announcement. Zednik’s injury was eerily reminiscent of an injury sustained by Sabres goaltender Clint Malarchuk about 19 years ago at Buffalo’s Memorial Auditorium. On March 22, 1989, Malarchuk severed his jugular vein when St. Louis Blues forward Steve Tuttle was upended while skating toward the crease, slicing Malarchuk with a skate. Malarchuk required over 300 stitches but spent only one night in the hospital, returning to practice after four days. On April 2, he played the final five minutes in the season finale, less than two weeks after his injury. Panthers defenseman Steve Montador recalled seeing Zednik in a state of shock as he got to the bench. “He looked pale, he was obviously standing and to a degree, coherent. But he didn’t look as focused as you or I right now. He was staring at nothing,” Montador said. “That’s a pretty brave guy to realize what’s going on: Grab your neck and get off the ice.” Zednik has 15 goals and 11 assists this season. It was the second serious injury caused by a skate this weekend. On Saturday, NHL linesman Pat Dapuzzo needed dozens of stitches to close a cut on his face after he was hit by the skate of Philadelphia Flyers forward Steve Downie in a game against the New York Rangers. Dapuzzo, scheduled to retire at the end of the season, didn’t return after the second-period injury.

Stu Barnes Scores To Tie Game 6
Gary Thorne with the call as Stu Barnes ties Game 6 of the 99 Stnley Cup Final vs Dallas. Unfortunately it was the only goal we’d score on that fateful night. Despite the loss (on a goal that never should have counted) this was a great game to watch. 6 periods of the best goaltending ever. Hasek and Belfour were virtually unbeatable all night.
