Quinn Hughes largely did his job in the playoffs, but Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy left people wanting. Kaprizov had two goals and had six points against the Colorado Avalanche, but he didn’t have any shots on net in the Minnesota Wild’s Game 5 collapse. Meanwhile, Boldy only had one goal and...
It’s official! The PWHL will play in San Jose next season. In a press conference this afternoon, officials from the Professional Women’s Hockey League were joined on stage by San Jose soccer legend Brandi Chastain and Bay Area skating legend Kristi Yamaguchi to make the announcement. While there are a lot of details to be ironed out before the season starts in December, there are some things that PWHL Executive Vice President of Business Operations Amy Scheer can promise. “I think there’s...
When the New York Rangers decided it was time to move on from their captain, Jacob Trouba, midway through the 2024-25 season, it was the Anaheim Ducks' gain. Adding a veteran leader with a punishing physical presence to their blueline turned out to be the next step in the team launching itself out of its rebuild and into serious playoff contention. But after a year and a half there, Trouba is now an unrestricted free agent. He's coming off an $8 million AAV over the past seven years, and...
After Tuesday’s practice, Toronto Marlies head coach John Gruden discussed splitting the two road games in Cleveland, areas for improvement for Game 3, Ben Danford’s first two playoff appearances, and the team’s strength in net. Over the first two games of the series, it seemed like there were maybe 25 minutes of playing the way […] The post John Gruden on Ben Danford’s two playoff appearances for the Marlies: “He is not afraid of the moment” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .

The Charlotte Checkers season came to a disappointing and sudden end when Julien Gauthier scored 14:50 into overtime to lift the Springfield Thunderbirds a 2-1 win in Game 3 at Bojangles Coliseum. Tobias Björnfot opened the scoring off an assist from Jack Studnicka 5:58 into the first period. The Checkers held the lead until Calle Rosen beat Cooper Black at 5:45 of the third. Springfield’s Georgi Romanov stopped 34 saves while Black made 22 saves for Charlotte, who didn’t get a goal from a for...

Like many of you, in addition to being a Carolina Panthers fan I’m also passionate about college football. I’m a lifelong fanatic and a graduate of BYU so I have an admitted bias in wanting the Panthers to draft guys coming out of beautiful Provo, Utah. While there aren’t as many former Cougars currently playing in the NFL as […]
We usually do a phase-by-phase preview, but since we had to wait till game 82 to figure out Colorado’s first-round matchup, we decided to do all three phases of this glorious game and matchup in one fell swoop. For starters, this matchup definitely has David vs. Goliath vibes, but LA looks like a better team […]
I’ve been sitting on these thoughts since January and with the season completed, it’s time to get them on a screen. They aren’t so much about the Hawks as they are about this particular internet space. I spend an incredible amount of time trying to figure out what to do with this website. Much of that back-and-forth comes from a development four years ago, when we were contacted by Hawks PR and offered media credentials for a game for the first time. The Hawks won that night 3-1 over...

With two games remaining, the Oilers still have everything left to play for. Edmonton will host the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Avalanche on Monday before closing out the regular season on Thursday against the last-place Canucks. Win both, and the Pacific Division title is within reach. Lose both, and the Oilers could fall into a wild-card spot….
On March 21st in 2009, Vancouver Canucks boozehound blueliner Shane O'Brien inadvertently scored an own goal into his empty net during a delayed penalty, putting the Phoenix Coyotes up 4-0 midway through the match. Ironically, the goal was credited to Viktor Tikhonov the same Phoenix player who was penalized moments earlier for hooking Vancouver's Sami Salo. The Coyotes beat the Canucks that
On April 5th in 2008, the Calgary Flames displayed the sportsmanship that makes NHL hockey special, putting aside their bitter divisional rivalry to salute Vancouver Canucks legend Trevor Linden in his final NHL game. With fans applauding the Alberta-born center prior to the final period of his career, Calgary players retreated from the faceoff circle allowing players and fans alike to
On April 8th in 2013, Phoenix Coyotes forward Antoine Vermette fired a pass from the Vancouver Canucks goal line, past its intended recipient Keith Yandle, the entire length of the ice into Phoenix's empty net with one minute remaining in the third period trailing 1-0. The own goal, credited to Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis, came during a two man-advantage thanks to a

Well, the National Hockey League’s 2025-26 regular season is nearing its conclusion…..and it has certainly been an interesting one for the Winnipeg Jets. Coming off a President’s Trophy win, the True Northers had high hopes entering the campaign….but injury issues reared their ugly head during the off-season & training camp, starting the Jets off on the wrong foot. Despite missing key players like Adam Lowry , Dylan Samberg , & Cole Perfetti , Winnipeg started off well by winning 9 of the...
