By Charlie O’Connor (@THG_Charlie) Evgeni Malkin and Claude Giroux. One-two in the scoring race; one-two in the race for the Hart Trophy at the all-star break. With all due respect to other worthy candidates such as Pavel Datsyuk, Jonathan Toews and Henrik Lundqvist, Malkin and Giroux remain a cut above their competition. The two Atlantic [...]

Rangers Shine in 2012 NHL All-Star Festivities

Will Pavel Datsyuk Dangle His Way Into the Hall of Fame?
By Rhys Richards (@RREsq) On Thursday night, Detroit superstar Pavel Datsyuk accomplished another in a long list of feats, awards and accolades; Zdeno Chara surprised several commentators when he chose Datsyuk first overall in the 2012 NHL Fantasy Draft.
