Sporting News NHL preview schedule (SportingNews.com)
Notice a chill in the air? September arrives and bring the return of the National Hockey League -- on the ice, not in boardrooms, conventional halls or hearing chambers. Feel free to cheer. Sporting News notes the change in season with its 2010-11 Hockey yearbook, which previews the marathon to next June's crowning of a new Stanley Cup winner. To mark the occasion, SN provides online looks at all 30 teams, leading up to the season's start -- which again this year is in Europe. |

Blue Jackets players and former coach Ken Hitchcock both denied that poor conditioning had anything to do with the club's disastrous 2009-10 season, but the most revealing quote on the matter might have come from Hitchcock's replacement, interim coach Claude Noel.
Shortly after he was tabbed to replace Hitchcock for the final 24 games of the season, Noel was asked by The Columbus Dispatch to rate the Blue Jackets' collective conditioning level. Without pause, he answered "probably a three out of 10." The words stung in the dressing room, several players told The Dispatch, but they must have had some merit.

Shootouts could lose top tiebreaker status (SportingNews.com)
The NHL will no longer count shootout wins in its first playoff tiebreaker, according to ESPN.com's E.J. Hradek. Under the revised system, regulation wins and overtime wins will serve as the first tiebreaker when teams finish with the same point total. Last season, regulation wins, overtime wins and shootout wins were weighted equally. Columbus Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson proposed the change at the NHL general managers meetings in Florida last March. |
