Wisniewski Pockets 8 Game Suspension
Anaheim Ducks defenceman James Wisniewski has landed an eight game suspension from the National Hockey League for his hit on Chicago Blackhawks' Brent Seabrook. The NHL was quick to respond to the deliberate head hit administered by Wisniewski, who propelled himself into an unsuspecting Seabrook. Just moments before the Wisniewski hit, Seabrook nailed Anaheim's Corey Perry with a blow around the end boards that levelled Perry.Barry Melrose & His Mullet Can Suck It: A Retrospective

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (2) | San Jose Sharks | 43-14-10 | The Shark have won three straight. Nabokov still doesn't look all the way back after his unceremonious exit from the Olympics, but San Jose has the firepower to overwhelm almost anybody. |
| 2 (1) | Washington Capitals | 45-14-9 | The Caps are still winning but seem to struggle more lately than what would be expected. Eric Belanger and Scott Walker have been sparkling additions. |
| 3 (3) | Chicago Blackhawks | 44-18-5 | Give up less than five goals the and Hawks win. Will goaltending be their downfall in the post season? If Andrew Ladd keeps scoring hat tricks, Chicago has nothing to worry about. |
| 4 (5) | Phoenix Coyotes | 41-22-5 | Deadline acquisitions Stempniak and Wolski have scored even more than Phoenix had hoped thus far; helping the Coyotes to three straight victories. |
| 5 (6) | Pittsburgh Penguins | 40-23-5 | Headed into Friday, Pittsburgh had yet to lose in regulation since the break. Does coach Bylsma have another magical stretch run and playoff plan ready? |

March Madness - The Post Lockout Leafs
By Steve Dangle
March Madness: The Post-Lockout Leafs Warning: If you're a Leafs fan, this blog will make you pretty upset. Everyone else - I hope you rotten jerks enjoy this. As many Leafs fans have noted, Toronto seems to play better once "the pressure is off" and the playoffs are out of reach.

I Still Believe
By Benjamin Massey
I still believe. I believe in the Oilers, most of the players, most of the coaches, even most of the front office. I believe that the Oilers, 16-33 record and nine-game losing streak aside, aren't the worst team in the NHL and certainly aren't worthy of their recent '93 Senators-style swoon.

Engagement Hangover?
By Stephen Smith
Now I know things aren't always as they seem, it's just easier to act that way, but something is up with Mike Fisher. It's not so much that he's slumping or scoring at a lesser rate, as we've all seen how streaky he can be over the past years.

A Look At Henrik's Milestone Season
By Richard Loat
This weekend was a big weekend for the Canucks, their fans, the record books and King Henrik himself. Henrik's play has been phenomenal this season. Even when "slumping" on the road he managed to pull things together on the tail end of the trip and end up at a point per game pace.
