from Mike Brophy of Sportsnet,
Here are 10 players on the hot seat, looking to bounce back from an off year:
Dion Phaneuf, Calgary Flames: The big defenceman doesn’t like to be reminded of his drop in performance last season. When asked about it at Team Canada’s summer orientation camp he got a little indignant, huffing and puffing at reporters....
John Madden, Chicago Blackhawks: Madden has never been mistaken for a Rocket Richard Trophy winner as the NHL’s leader in goals, but to slump to seven goals in 76 games after scoring 20 the year before is simply unacceptable. Madden remains one of the NHL’s best checkers and a threat to score when his team is playing shorthanded, but he has the speed and skill to score at even strength.
more and Sportsnet has a new look, what do you think about it?
