A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
The Florida Panthers missed the playoffs for the first time since 2019, and now their most pressing offseason question centers on the goaltender who helped win them two Stanley Cups.
Sergei Bobrovsky's seven-year, $70 million contract is finished, and by all accounts the two sides are nowhere close to agreeing on what comes next.

Over at The Athletic, Sean McIndoe took a look at all 16 playoff teams and ranked them based on how much they can afford to lose. From the first-timer Anaheim Ducks all the way to the Edmonton Oilers, who can't waste another season of having Connor McDavid on their team. The Wild...
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins completed a fine regular season with a 46-17-7-2 record (the third and fourth items being OT and SO losses split out). That completed a 101-point season – third best in the entire AHL and gave WBS just their third 100+ point year. Unfortunately for them, the best team in the AHL in […]

Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins’ recent playoff struggles at home continued with back-to-back losses to the Philadelphia Flyers in Games 1 and 2. Pittsburgh’s home-ice playoff struggles run deeper than this series against their cross-state rival, however. Since winning the Stanley Cup in 2016 and 2017, Pittsburgh has […]

For a first career NHL playoff goal, an overtime game-winner isn’t a bad one to hang on the mantle. J.J. Moser exorcised the Tampa Bay Lightning’s overtime demons as he snapped a wrist shot past Jakob Dobes at the 12:48 mark of overtime to give the Lightning the 3-2 win. The series heads to Montreal all tied at one game a piece.
After their 4-3 OT loss in Game One, Coach Jon Cooper made a few line-up changes. Declan stepped in for the injured Charle-Edouard D’Astous while Scott Sabourin r...
I try not to be too cynical about hockey's hiring practices, but there are often times where it seems like certain people were hired just because someone wants to reward that person for loyalty. We can talk about the nepotism that exists with guys like Scotty and Stan Bowman working for the Blackhawks and Dick and Chris Patrick managing the Capitals, but there seems to be a lot of times where owners simply create a position out of the blue for a legendary player or loyal player who played for ...
Every year on HBIC, I try to come up with a project that will incorporate summer into hockey a little more than usual. I've done a series on women who played both baseball and hockey , I cover a lot of hockey history throughout the summer , and I have covered field hockey at multiple Summer Olympiads , but this year's HBIC Summer Project will take me on the road. This project sadly won't involve The Tragically Hip, but it could be a lot of fun if I can make it work.
Throughout Manitoba, the...
After the Bruins melted down in the last eight minutes of Game 1, Marco Sturm and several of the players cited a desire to learn from the experience and move forward for Game 2. Tonight’s last seven minutes showed they learned a thing or two—but not quite enough to avoid nearly giving their fans a […]

The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Pittsburgh Pirates scored one run. Talk about branching paths. With the Rangers holding a scant 2-1 lead with two outs in the top of the fifth and with two Buccos on the bags for Pittsburgh, Texas hurler Kumar Rocker was nearing that point in the game where […]
On April 21, 2024, the Braves began the day with a six-game winning streak. It ended in fairly routine fashion: the Braves took an early 3-0 lead over the Rangers, but Darius Vines couldn’t prop it up, and they lost, 6-4. That was the last time (before now) the Braves had a winning streak of […]
After grinding out a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday, the Colorado Avalanche look to take a 2-0 series lead over the Kings tonight in game two. Puck drop is set for 8:22 p.m. MT on ESPN.

The Philadelphia Flyers are shocking the hockey world with their dominance over the Pittsburgh Penguins through the first two games of their playoff series. Much of this success stems from the result of a successful off-season that had Trevor Zegras, Christian Dvorak, Porter Martone, Dan Vladar, and Rick Tocchet arrive in Philadelphia. The Flyers have…
The Calgary Flames are entering the offseason with multiple pending free agents. One of them is gritty forward Ryan Lomberg. With the Flames rebuilding, it would not be surprising if the Flames let the 31-year-old forward hit the market. If he does, he has the potential to get some interest from teams looking for more grit and toughness in their bottom six. Because of this, let's take a look at three teams that could try to sign Lomberg if he hits free agency this summer. Florida Panther...
The New York Rangers were very close to trading Vincent Trocheck ahead of this season's trade deadline, and trade talks are expected to pick up ahead of the NHL Draft. There's been multiple reports surfacing over the last week that the Rangers will once again be listening to trade offers, as they're heading for a full rebuild. The Rangers are in line for a top-five pick, and could land a significant trade return when/if they move Trocheck. Elliotte Friedman: Re Vincent Trocheck rumours: Teams ...
