from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
The Boston Bruins surprised, the Ottawa Senators disappointed and thanks to parity, and all those extra points for overtime and shootout losses, about 25 teams still figure they’re legitimately in the NHL playoff race. Mike Keenan won his 650th game and is still employed as an NHL coach, while Barry Melrose was one of three coaches to get a pink slip (Denis Savard and Peter Laviolette were the others) and landed a new/old gig as a broadcaster with ESPN, where he can continue to poke pins in his Len Barrie voodoo doll.
There was new life in Chicago, even before they played a Winter Classic at Wrigley Field to rave reviews. Five of the six pre-expansion teams were on pace for 100 points or better, with only the Toronto Maple Leafs unable to participate in the Original Six revival.
read on and as always, many more NHL topics…
