Much like the week one loss against the Eagles, Sunday's loss against the Vikings wasn't so much the story of a turning point as it was a number of missed opportunities. For the purposes of this article, I had a hard time picking just one play that turned the game in the Vikings' favor. Really, there are four. Here they are: Two missed field goals: Brayden Narveson's missed 37-yard and 48-yard field goals ended up being more than the difference on the scoreboard. There's no guarantees t...

It’s a SoCal showdown for the title of Pacific Division Champion. The Ontario Reign are taking on the best team in the Pacific Division as they continue their quest for the Calder Cup. This will be their toughest test yet as they take on a team that always plays them close and was the regular season division winner. The Coachella Valley Firebirds are stacked with talent and are backstopped by a former NHL veteran who has made a lot of clutch saves in key situations. The Reign swept t...

The Tucson Roadrunners season ended earlier than many of us anticipated. After falling to the Calgary Wranglers in a best-of-three first-round series in the Calder Cup Playoffs, much of the teams’ future remains shrouded in mystery. Back when reports were first emerging about the Arizona Coyotes’ pending move to Salt Lake City, additional reports were coming out about the future of the club’s AHL franchise. Then, a source reached out to me and said the plan, internally, was indeed to move...

New year, same story, still hoping for a different ending. Deeply concerning defensive lapses aside to the second worst team in the NHL this year and nearly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the Los Angeles Kings, with the help of the Vegas Golden Knights not showing up to their game against the Anaheim Ducks, managed to solidify their standing of 3rd place in the Pacific Division, giving them, for the third straight year, the Edmonton Oilers as their playoff opponent. ...

It is difficult to start this because it feels like I have already written it. A while ago, SBNation decided to let their hockey sites go, and it briefly seemed like I would be cut loose, never to write again. While I am incredibly grateful to the people who donated to the GoFundMe, shared content this past season, and helped facilitate the move to an independent Five For Howling, it is time for this to end for me. I, Carl Pavlock, will be stepping down from Five For Howling in all...

Game Preview It is all over today. Not only is the Arizona Coyotes’ 2023-24 season coming to an end tonight in a match against the Edmonton Oilers, but the team’s time in Arizona will also be over. The Desert Dogs’ have been a significant part of so many people’s lives and have been a roller coaster this season. There have been considerable ups and downs as we saw a squad of veterans help shepherd the growth of younger prospects making their way in the NHL. If the circumstances ...

The real postseason push begins now as the team has a lot of unfinished business to complete. Here’s a quick look at the rest of their season and potential playoff matchups. Tuesday’s 4-1 victory over the struggling Calgary Flames sealed the Los Angeles Kings’ postseason bid, officially clinching a berth in this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs. In true Kings fashion, it took a little extra longer than would’ve been comfortable, nearly coming down to the wire unlike years past when they h...

Game Preview The future of the Arizona Coyotes may be bleak, but that isn’t stopping the players from giving their all. The Desert Dogs are 3-1-0 on their current road trip after back-to-back overtime wins against the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers. Neither game was perfect, but they were solid wins against two of the top teams in the Western Conference. In both matchups, the Coyotes did a good job at scoring first, only to see their opponents come back and tie the game. ...

Game Preview The Arizona Coyotes’ final road trip has been exciting so far. They started with a commanding win over San Jose, only to get destroyed by the Seattle Kraken in their second game. Then, on Wednesday, after allowing the Vancouver Canucks to come back from a 3-1 deficit, Logan Cooley notched his 19th of the season to give the Coyotes their first win over the Canucks this season. It was an excellent night for Dylan Guenther, who was involved in all four of the Coyotes’ goals...

Seasoned Kings players defy aging stereotypes, leading with skill and experience on and off the ice. With graying hair and slight hints of wrinkles around their eyes and smiles, a few LA Kings players are beginning to show their age off the ice. On the ice, there’s little sign that their 30+ year old bodies have been through the ringer throughout their careers. At 36 years old, Anze Kopitar is still highly productive in all areas of the ice. He may not be a corsi god (that honor...

Game Preview After an excellent start, the Arizona Coyotes’ season’s final road trip hit a snag. The Coyotes ran into a hot netminder in Philipp Grubauer last night and fell 5-0 to the Seattle Kraken. The first two times the Kraken and Coyotes met, they were tight games that needed overtime or a shoot-out to settle things. That was not the case last night, as the Kraken got two early goals and then kept going for a full 60 minutes. Giving up two early goals is enough to shake an...

As the Los Angeles Kings' rising stars shine, their impact is felt not just in California, but across the NHL. Between a stoic Swede and a young Canadian hailed to be the “next Anze Kopitar”, Adrian Kempe and Quinton Byfield are hitting their strides at the exact right time for the Los Angeles Kings. Both first round draft picks (Kempe 29th overall in 2014; Byfield 2nd overall in 2020), the two forwards have become critical components to a Kings team trying its best to not only make the p...

Game Preview The Arizona Coyotes’ road trip continues with a trip to the Northwest. The Coyotes will play a back-to-back, with a match against the Seattle Kraken tonight and a trip to Vancouver tomorrow. The Coyotes have all of the momentum going into tonight’s game. They followed up a comeback win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday with a 5-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. Saturday’s game featured another strong period for the Yotes. Both teams had lit th...

Game Preview The Arizona Coyotes must feel good about themselves as they head out on the road. The Yotes have all the momentum as they head out on their final road trip, starting with a matinee matchup against the San Jose Sharks today. The Coyotes ended their previous seven-game homestand with one of the most impressive comebacks in franchise history. After giving up four unanswered goals in the second period, it looked like the Vegas Golden Knights were just 20 minutes away f...

Akil Thomas, drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the second round of the 2018 draft, made his NHL debut this week. The forward has seen limited ice time so far, but made a big impact in his time against the Sharks. Thomas’s first NHL goal, and first career point, came at 11:13 in the first period. Thomas and PL Dubois came down the ice together, with Thomas using other players as a screen to find the back of the net. His goal also stands as the game-winner, a feat which he has accomplishe...

Game Preview The Arizona Coyotes’ homestand ends tonight with a match against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Coyotes fell 2-1 to the Vancouver Canucks in their last game and are running out of chances to put on a show for the home crowd this season. While the game may not have ended the way the Coyotes would have hoped, it wasn’t a complete loss. The Canucks are one of the top teams in the NHL this season, and the Coyotes did a good job of keeping the game close. That isn’t to sa...

The Anaheim Ducks may boast the most consistent elite goalie play in NHL history. With the trade deadline past, multiple contending teams have a clear hole in net, and almost none of them filled it. Whether you want to look at how Carolina is an extremely well rounded team except goaltending, how the LA Kings haven’t won a playoff series since prime Johnathan Quick graced them, or how the Devils quite literally took themselves out of playoff contention by not addressing goaltending. Goalies ma...

December brought with it its usual slate of chilly challenges and the team often struggled to rise to the occasion. With 20 games left, can they do it?

So, the Anaheim Ducks just got pants’d on live TV with hockey night in Canada 9-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs. In what can only be seen as the bottoming out of this season so far, we saw the variance between two ends of the hockey spectrum in almost every way. At one end, the Toronto Maple Leafs. A team between 2007 – 2016 that had been consistently at the bottom of the Northeast/Atlantic Division, now reaping the rewards of their full rebuild. A team with high draft picks demanding high c...

Good Morning Anaheim, With the All Star break in full swing (yes it is going on, and no I haven’t been watching), it seems like a good time to go through pieces of the Ducks roster and see how each player has been. And with the current outlook of the roster and the trade deadline looming large, the best scale to rate these players seems to be in the ilk of buying and selling. So treating the current Ducks players like stocks, let’s go over who we should buy, sell, hold or dump comin...

Good evening Anaheim, With the current bleak outlook for this Anaheim Ducks squad, there hasn’t been much to look forward to. Injuries every other minute, the offense running dry and completely fabricated Frank Seravalli rumors, it’s been tough. So, trying to find brevity in this season, a new wrinkle has developed. Corey Perry, the third leading points scorer in Ducks history, is free to sign with a team again. This comes after his contract termination from the Chicago Blackhawks and a s...
