Timberwolves 115, Knicks 104: Return of the KAT (Again)

It’s still a little weird seeing Karl-Anthony Towns in another team’s uniform. On the night before Christmas Eve, the Minnesota Timberwolves took on Towns and the New York Knicks in a game that was far less emotional than last year’s game between these two teams in Minnesota. While Towns has settled in with his new […]

Blackhawks 1, Flyers 3 — Three Stars, Key Takeaways

The first period of this game was a dump and chase drill. The teams combined to put ten shots on net (6-4 in favor of the Flyers). Philly’s second shot didn’t happen until 10:17 had come off the clock. Unfortunately, it went in. The Blackhawks had a 7-3 advantage in scoring chances in the first period at 5-on-5 , but were chasing one after one. The Blackhawks and Flyers really made it feel like both teams have three days off after this game in the second period… until the Flyers amazingly...

Canadiens @ Bruins Top Six Minutes: Montreal dismantles its rival on its own rink

First period The game begins with Josh Anderson and Tanner Jeannot squaring up at centre ice. We have our tone for this game. Precisely the one the Bruins wanted. Phillip Danault continues the shift with Brendan Gallagher in Anderson’s place and they help draw a holding call when Alexandre Texier is grabbed behind the net. Lane Hutson attempts a pass across the top of the zone, and it leads to a two-on-one from the two Bruins forwards you don’t want to allow one to. Jacob Fowl...

Hurricanes blow another lead to Panthers, fall 5-2

Looking to go into the holiday break on a positive note after two gut-wrenching losses in Florida last weekend, the Carolina Hurricanes laid another egg in Raleigh on Tuesday, falling 5-2 to the Florida Panthers after one of the more dismal periods of hockey the team has played under Rod Brind’Amour. Just as they did […]

Game Review: William Nylander leads the way, Maple Leafs get badly needed win over Penguins ahead of Xmas break

Coming off the firing of an assistant coach and sitting last in the Eastern Conference after losing three straight/five of their previous six, the Maple Leafs’ pre-Christmas break matchup against the Penguins felt more significant than the typical game #36 on the NHL schedule. While he played just 17:23 and showed the completely expected signs […] The post Game Review: William Nylander leads the way, Maple Leafs get badly needed win over Penguins ahead of Xmas break appeared first on Maple L...

Craig Berube on the Leafs snapping their slump ahead of the break: “We’re going to have a better Christmas, I guess, if you like Christmas”

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, which improved the Maple Leafs’ record to 16-15-5. On the confusion around who has taken over the power play coaching, after mixed messages in the earlier press conferences between him and Brad Treliving:  The PP stuff — I know that Brad […] The post Craig Berube on the Leafs snapping their slump ahead of the break: “We’re going to have a better Christmas, I guess, if you like Christmas” appeared first on...

Sharks at Golden Knights game 37: Lines, game thread and how to watch

The San Jose Sharks take a brief trip to Vegas before they go their separate ways for the holiday break. San Jose has lost two games in a row and is desperate to avoid a third. So far, the team has been pretty good about keeping the losing streaks short, but this might be the toughest test yet, going against the Vegas Golden Knights, which is ranked second in the Pacific Division as of this morning. The Sharks should have an extra incentive not to let Vegas win tonight. Carter Hart is exp...

Canucks Executing A 'Hybrid Retool'; Don't Expect These 12 Players To Be Traded

Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin made an appearance on Amazon Prime's intermission panel this week, and told the crew that his team is undergoing what he calls a 'hybrid retool.' What that really means is, from all accounts, don't expect a mass sell-off. In particular, 12 players are likely going nowhere.  Allvin said the Quinn Hughes trade with Minnesota brought them young players who are pieces for the future, but, essentially, ready to contribute now. Canucks GM Patrik Allvin jo...

‘Zero Doubt’ The Rangers Will Trade Artemi Panarin—Under Specific Circumstances

Despite a five-goal outbreak against the Philadelphia Flyers on the weekend, the New York Rangers have been struggling to score. They have four games of zero or one goal in their last seven, and currently sit dead last in the Eastern Conference with just 97 goals scored this season, in 38 games, going into Tuesday's action.  But their leading scorer, Artemi Panarin, might not be long for the Big Apple. A pending unrestricted free agent, he has had no extension talks since turning down a d...

Rasmus Andersson Has Specific Type of Teams In Mind For Next Destination

While pending unrestricted free agent Rasmus Andersson's future remains up in the air in Calgary, he is still one of the top trade candidates in the NHL. And while certain teams have been mentioned as likely landing spots, we're getting a little more clarity on where he'd be willing to sign an extension.  And while the d-man only has a six-team no-trade list, giving him limited say in the matter, where he does have a say, is where he'd be open to extending. Insider Frank Seravalli explain...
