Tuesdays with Dani: Lightning stay quiet at the deadline

Well, this is a little bit late, given that ESPN’s Scott Burnside posted his Summer Power Rankings back on July 25th, but when I saw them this morning, I simply had to pass the word on—he has Edmonton winning the Northwest Division. Now, every year I see ridiculous forecasts in various sports...
All Razor All The Time
As much as the NHL has changed one thing has remained constant: a team is only as good as its goalie. For the Leafs to have any chance at the last playoff spot Andrew Raycroft has to find consistency. Between a hot start and a strong 2007 Razor was maddening. He was inconsistency personified and...
