NHL Nhl Live Blogging

There's a lot of action around the NHL tonight, and we'll break it all down in our weekly NHL FanHouse chat. There are surprise teams, surprise players, and injuries to discuss. Not only that, but the first major disciplinary decisions of the season have been made by the NHL. As usual, they come with some controversy. Join us at 2 p.m. ET as we break it down with you.

We're talking hockey at 2 PM ET. Have a thought or concern about the Sergei Gonchar and Marc Savard injuries? Impressed by the Penguins and Rangers? Hoping for the Islanders to get in the "W" column tonight? Stop on by and discuss it with us.

PITTSBURGH -- I'm live at Mellon Arena for tonight's Pittsburgh Penguins vs. St. Louis Blues game and will be live-blogging all of the action on the ice starting at 7 PM ET. Keep checking back for live updates as they happen.

It's time for our weekly NHL live chat, so please join us at 2 PM ET as we discuss the first three weeks of the season and all of the early surprises (Colorado!), disappointments (Florida?) and teams we can't stop laughing at (Toronto!).

The opening week of the NHL season featured plenty of excitement, a few surprises, some bitter fans (mainly DirecTV customers), and some fisticuffs.

The NHL FanHouse gang will break down the events so far in a live chat at 2 PM ET. Join us after the jump.

Wednesday is the first of our weekly live chats here at NHL FanHouse, and this week we'll be getting ready for the start of the season with some preseason predictions as we anxiously wait for the drop of the puck on Thursday night. Stop on by and give us your early season thoughts.

Fun starts at 2 PM ET.

When the noon hour hits in the Eastern time zone on Wednesday, veteran NHL players whose contracts have expired will be able to sift through offers and pick a new (or old) team to play for. While some big deals have already happened, there are still some very talented free agents for teams to pick from. Join NHL FanHouse NOW, as we set up what you can expect when the free agents are turned loose.

Could it possibly be over already? With a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Detroit Red Wings have to like the spot they're in. On Monday afternoon, we chatted with readers about the first two games of the finals, the controversy over Evgeni Malkin's non-suspension, and whether the Penguins can rebound. Check out the chat wrap after the jump.

WASHINGTON -- The buzz around the Capitals will always primarily revolve around Alex Ovechkin and their high-powered offense. Yet in Game 1 of their first-round series against the Rangers, the Caps were matched in that department. The Rangers got to Jose Theodore, eventually taking the first game between the two teams, 4-3.

Through it all, we chatted. You can read the chat wrap after the jump.

We've been all over the NHL trade deadline this week, and we're finally at the big day.

With just hours to go until the deadline, join us as we chat about the latest news and rumors (or is it "rumours"?). We'll discuss the moves that are made, and the ones that aren't.

The chat starts live at 12 PM ET, and we'll continue for an hour or so past the 3 PM ET deadline.
