Toronto Marlies’ five-game winning streak ends with crushing defeat to Lehigh

“After that shorthanded goal, we just seemed to not be able to recover, for whatever reason. We started pressing. We are not the type of team that can press like that.

Trading For Nazem Kadri Would Address Multiple Wild Needs

Nazem Kadri’s play-driving, edge, and center depth would fit exactly what the Minnesota Wild need. His current production and faceoff workload in Calgary also underline that he can still handle tough minutes down the middle.

Yesterday, when I heard the news about longtime Leaf Bob Pulford passing away at the age of […] The post Bob Pulford: the engine of the 1960s Maple Leaf dynasty appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .

3 Teams Linked To Canucks' Sherwood, One Team Out

The Vancouver Canucks , who are second-last in the NHL, four games under .500, and have already traded their franchise player, are going to be selling more this season. One main trade candidate they have that plenty of other teams seem to be looking at is Kiefer Sherwood. David Pagnotta said, "Tampa sniffed around a bit, but I don't think they're in the mix. Boston has been poking around. Dallas. The Canadiens." Sherwood's cap hit of $1.5 million AAV for the remainder of the season puts so man...

Today In NHL History - Downie Punches Blake

Let The Debate Continue

I won't deny that I was very against the idea that both Drew Doughty and Travis Sanheim were named to the Canadian Olympic team on Wednesday, and I voiced those opinions on January 1 on The Hockey Show . I haven't changed my opinion on either player's inclusion on the roster when younger players like Owen Power, Jacob Chychrun, Noah Dobson, and Matthew Schafer are available to go and will be the future of the Canadian Olympic team long after both Doughty's and Sanheim's times have passed.
