Over the weekend, Derek Boogaard, of the New York Rangers, and noted hockey tough guy enforcer was found dead in his apartment. The reason for his death is unknown as of now but reports say that an autopsy report won’t be released for a couple of weeks.

People immediately were reminded of another former NHL tough guy enforcer, Bob Probert, who also died at an early age because of the number of fights the two partook in during their NHL careers and the repeated blows to the head they received.

From the moment former Pittsburgh Penguins legend Jaromir Jagr played his last game in the NHL and took his talents to play for the KHL’s Avangard Omsk in Russia people have wondered when he’d once again play in the NHL and come back to North America.

Well, the wait for Jagr’s NHL return might be over next season. After some speculation he might come back and play for the Edmonton Oilers the past couple of seasons, Jagr could very well make a return not only to the NHL but to the team of his glory days, the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Detroit Red Wings have once again avoided elimination in the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs and they’re hoping they follow in the footsteps of the 2010 Philadelphia Flyers and not the 2011 Chicago Blackhawks.

The Flyers were down 3-0 to the Boston Bruins during last year’s playoffs and came back to win the series 4-3. The Blackhawks fought back from a 3-0 deficit against the Vancouver Canucks this year in the playoffs. They clawed back to tie the series 3-3 but went on to lose the deciding Game 7.

It’s been 17 years since the Vancouver Canucks have reached the Western Conference finals and now they’re going back. They haven’t been there since 1994 when they played the Toronto Maple Leafs. Yes, the last time the Canucks reached the Western Conference finals the Maple Leafs were playing in the Western Conference.

A lot can happen in 17 years. The Canucks came into the Stanley Cup playoffs as the favorite to win the cup and after a close call in round one against the Chicago Blackhawks they’re now one round away from playing in the Stanley Cup Finals.
