One week removed from trading Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round pick for Tristan Jarry and Samuel Poulin, the Edmonton Oilers placed their new goalie on injured reserve Friday. Three games. That’s all Jarry lasted before sustaining a lower-body injury in the second period of Thursday’s 3-1 win over Boston. He made 12…
Author’s note: I apologize for the tardiness of this quick bites. I went to the game, but have been under the weather and unable to finish it up. The San Jose Sharks managed to hang with the Dallas Stars and show that this team has some of the skill that it needs to play among the best in the NHL, but that finish isn’t quite there. The best teams in the NHL know how to negate mistakes, and the Sharks, well, they’re still learning. The biggest mistake is likely the one that cost the t...

After the Blackhawks got shut down in Montreal, I dug into some numbers and threw out some potential lineup tweaks to help the Hawks generate more offense. A few hours later, the Blackhawks took the ice for practice in Montreal and the lines were fairly close to what I wrote. Because this is an early afternoon puck drop, there won’t be a morning skate. The lines below are what the Blackhawks skated at practice. We’ll have to wait and see if there are any changes during warm-ups. Broa...

On December 20th in 2000, Pittsburgh Penguins bruiser Matthew Barnaby exited BankAtlantic Center after an unsuccessful bout with behemoth Pete Worrell when an elderly Florida Panthers fan began hurling obscenities.
