Peca Must Improve

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

from the CP via Slam,

Edmonton Oilers centre Mike Peca went into Tuesday's game against Colorado in Craig MacTavish's doghouse. "He's got to play better," the Oilers head coach told the Edmonton Sun. "The time for him feeling his way in, learning the situation and what we need out of him is over. We need more intensity out of him. We need a better performance out of him, and he knows that."

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

via the CP,

Wild winger Marian Gaborik is injured yet again, this time diagnosed with a strained left hip flexor that will keep him out indefinitely. A right groin strain forced him to miss the first six games of the season. His return lasted only three games. "It's (ticking) me off, obviously. Frustrating," he told the Pioneer Press. "This kind of thing doesn't help you mentally - kind of (messed) up."

Ryan Miller Leading Sabres

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,

While much of the rookie attention is being placed on some of the outstanding 18-, 19- and 20-year olds, the rookie who might be having the biggest impact on his team is Buffalo Sabres' 25-year-old goalie Ryan Miller. Four years after winning the Hobey Baker Trophy as college hockey's best player, Miller has been a major factor in the Sabres' best start in almost 30 years.

Devils Clearing Cap Room

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

from the NY Post (reg. req.),

Lou Lamoriello has a little salary cap room if he decides to strengthen his .500 Devils. By noon today, the Devils' president will have 836G more cap space to use now or save against the day he must find $4.18 million in cap room to activate Patrik Elias. Lamoriello yesterday waived enforcer Krzysztof Oliwa, who will be assigned to Albany if he clears the other 29 teams. "I understand the game has changed, that Lou was forced to make a business decision in an effort to minimize the team's salary cap issues," said Oliwa, who said he returned to New Jersey to be near his 9-year-old daughter. "However, I would have signed elsewhere in July of '04 if I thought my position on the team was unstable. I had opportunities to play in Minnesota, Montreal and Calgary and passed them up. I am extremely disappointed."
update 3:50pm, Oliwa has cleared waivers, 29 teams passed on him.

Totally Unpredictable

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

from the Toronto Sun,

The new NHL is teeming with shots, injustices, weird rules and flukey bounces. It is altogether unpredictable, hideously unjust and darn near irresistible. All those elements and more were provided last night at the ACC as the Leafs beat the Boston Bruins 5-4 in penalty shots on a goal by Eric Lindros. This despite being outshot 53-32 by the Bruins in regulation. Referees Marc Joannette and Chris Rooney gave the Bruins twenty minutes in power-play time compared to 6:13 for Toronto. Included in the parade was a cheap call to Ken Klee for hooking with 2:10 left in regulation.
