It’s time for another session of Rules Court, the feature where you make the case for any kind of change that you think would improve the NHL, and a jury of three of us votes on it. Convince at least two of us, and… well, nothing happens, but you get to feel like you’re not quite so alone in the world. That’s important, right? Sure it is. This time around, we’ve got the usual jury of Shayna Goldman, Sean McIndoe, and Sean Gentille. We have seven of your proposals to consider, plus a bonus sugg...

Oilers Rumors: 2 Forwards & 2 Defensemen Listed As Trade Candidates

In order to potentially get any assets back for their players rather than seeing them be picked up on waivers, a trade or two may happen very shortly.

As for the forwards, Zach Hyman, Kasperi Kapanen, and Mattias Janmark are all returning shortly a...

Blackhawks Compete Beginning to Convert Doubters to Believers

Back in early October, just a handful of games into the 2025-26 Blackhawks season, I spotlighted comments from head coach Jeff Blashill and goaltender Spencer Knight that got my attention. They were talking about mindset and process. And the Blackhawks approaching things with an approach of building an understanding of what it takes to be a playoff team. “I really appreciate his eye for details, ” Knight said about Blashill at the time. “ [He’s] building a style that is sustainable o...

Blues' Veteran Could Come Up In Trade Conversations Again

The St. Louis Blues have won two of their past three games, but they still have a big hole to dig out of. It isn't going to be easy and there is likely going to be some changes to the roster, whether that involves hockey trades or selling a piece or two well ahead of the trade deadline to retool and get some assets. David Pagnotta retorted, "We heard Pavel Buchnevich's name in the summer. He's got a full no-move right now. Do they entertain that?" Like many of the Blues, the offense just hasn'...

Dissecting the Avalanche power play

One of the greatest concerns and topic of discussion on this young Colorado Avalanche season despite their sparkling record of 8-1-5 is the power play. With the disappointing results in the 2025 playoffs and subsequent letting go of assistant coach Ray Bennett, it’s natural that there would be even more focus on how the new-look […]

Bottom Six Minutes: The resurgence of Kirby Dach

Thursday night saw yet another overtime game for the Montreal Canadiens, succumbing this time to the New Jersey Devils 4-3 and remaining unbeaten in regulation through their last five games. It was a tight contest, with perhaps a few missed opportunities to secure the second point in the standings, but they remain among the best teams in the Eastern Conference in part due to picking up these spare points by getting to overtime. The standings are certainly encouraging, and more so are the ...

Marchand brace helps Panthers topple Kings 5-2

Brad Marchand continued his hot start to the season, scoring a pair to help the Florida Panthers topple the Los Angeles Kings by a 5-2 count at Crypto.com Arena.

Forsberg was up to the initial task, but the rebound came back to Bennett and he was a...
