Desperate Times in Ottawa
Five games. That’s all that Jason Spezza played this year before having back surgery on January 27 that forced him to miss the rest of the regular season.

Round Two, Game Two: Penguins-Senators Recap
Erik Karlsson won the Norris Trophy last season as the league’s best defenseman. A legitimate argument could be make that Craig Anderson should have been a Vezina Trophy finalist this year.

What Happens When You Compliment Clint Hurdle
Earlier today I gave Clint Hurdle a ton of props for his bullpen usage against the Brewers. The Pirates really managed the bullpen well last night. — Rich (@shamtown) May 15, 2013 I’d imagine the only unavailable pitcher last night would be Morris. — Rich (@shamtown) May 15, 2013 Hurdle will only get backhanded…
