The New York Islanders pulled out a late equalizer and 5-4 overtime win in an intense, back-and-forth meeting with the Pittsburgh Penguins that highlighted how we have Ilya Sorokin and they have Replacement Jarry. True, Sorokin allowed at least one goal he would want back, when Bryan Rust banked a shot in off his glove […]
Down three centers to start the game, and with their lines in a bit of a blender, the Tampa Bay Lightning still found a way to pull two points out of a game as Darren Raddysh tied it at the death, and Nikita Kucherov found Jake Guentzel in open ice in overtime. Guentzel didn’t miss as he beat Colton Ellis through the five-hole to give the Lightning the 4-3 overtime victory. The assist was Kucherov’s fourth point of the night as he had a goal and three assists to move to 90 points on the s...
A strong effort was undone by Brandon Bussi and a big mental mistake.
If you've ever had a chance to sit and chat with a professional hockey player in a less-formal setting, you know that all players have about a million stories from their careers they enjoy telling. Minor-league hockey players always seem to have more of the crazier stories thanks to there being less cameras and eyeballs on them, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add another great read to the library that is all about one man's hockey experiences. Teebz's Book Club is proud to review Tal...
Pregame The Penguins happily welcome the return of Bryan Rust from his suspension and get Stuart Skinner in net. First period Good start for the Penguins, they get an early power play after Scott Mayfield hooks Egor Chinakhov. Smart penalty to take being as Chinakhov was in a similar position to his goal last night, […]
First Period The Columbus Blue Jackets looked like they took the lead just past five minutes into the first period when Miles Wood fell in the crease and tangled up with Brenden Dillon and Jacob Markstrom. The Blue Jackets got an easy long wrister past Markstrom from Danton Heinen, as he was falling on top […]
In their first meeting of the season, the Flyers survived a third period push by Alex Ovechkin’s Washington Capitals.

The basics First Period: 5:56 – Owen Tippett (Travis Sanheim, Matvei Michkov) Second Period: 4:45 – Carl Grundstrom (Nic Deslauriers, Rasmus Ristolainen), 8:12 – Aliaksei Protas (SHG) (Anthony Beauvillier) Third Period: 2:40 – Anthony Beauvillier (Justin Sourdif, Trevo...

The Philadelphia Flyers might be playing a game on Tuesday but all anyone can talk about is the potential crisis regarding head coach Rick Tocchet and winger Matvei Michkov. So much so that general manager Danny Briere had to come and clear the air publicly. As the rumors started to swirl that there is potentially a massive conflict between Michkov and Tocchet bubbling up to the surface, and just about everyone had their take on how the Flyers should handle the situation, the team acted q...
The Cleveland Cavaliers have made one of their biggest win-now moves in franchise history. They’ve officially traded away 26-year-old, two-time All-Star Darius Garland to the Los Angeles Clippers for 36-year-old, eight-time All-NBA guard James Harden. The Cavs will also be sending a second-round pick out in the deal. This trade is the most shocking in […]
Note the start time.
I will occasionally drop in on a hockey game at an unspecified rink around town just to watch the action. My scouting resumé is nothing more than a blank sheet of paper since I've never been hired as a scout nor have I ever been asked to scout a player, but I know enough from watching games at the university level what I'd be seeking if I ever was asked to scout players. What a lot of people may not see is that the experience of sitting in the stands and listening and observing parents can go ...
It’s a “schedule loss” situation if there ever was one for the Maple Leafs against a rested Oilers team, but can they get something out of the final game before the Olympic break?

The AHL All-Star Classic is just about a week away, and with the Phantoms’ representative in Denver Barkey remaining on the Flyers’ roster as the NHL roster freeze in advance of the Olympic break has come and gone, another one of the team’s exciting prospects has been called upon to replace him. Christian Kyrou gets the nod With Barkey unavailable — and likely the next most natural option in Alex Bump still out with injury — the call was made to select Phantoms defenseman Christian K...
Ahead of Tuesday’s game in Edmonton, Craig Berube discussed the challenge against the Oilers, the development plan for Easton Cowan, and the upcoming Olympic hockey tournament.

Talk about the game with Pens fans here!
Andrew Mangiapane is drawing into the Edmonton Oilers lineup tonight, replacing Curtis Lazar. And if you’re an Oilers fan reading that sentence, you’re probably groaning. If you’re a player in that locker room, you might be doing the same. This is a begrudging pill to swallow. Lazar’s been playing well. He’s embraced the fourth-line minutes,…

The Florida Panthers blew a two-goal lead in a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres Monday night, the latest debacle in a season that's just been fraught with troubles right from the get-go. In fact, it started back in training camp when captain Aleksander Barkov suffered a torn ACL and MCL. Without him and Matthew Tkachuk for the first half of the year, the Panthers have had a dreadful season, and are now nine points back of a playoff berth, with four other teams to leapfrog as well.&nb...

And just like that, the final week before the break has arrived. It’s certainly been an exciting lead-up to it (for better or worse), but the Flyers will be hoping against all hope that they can get the ball rolling here and find a way to hit the break on a bit of a high. And there’s no better chance to get that started than with a matchup against another divisional rival, as the Capitals come to town.
