Death, taxes, and holiday drama. It’s inevitable for Thanksgiving day arguments to start not long after opening pleasantries are exchanged and the first beer or whiskey or coquito is finished. Barbs and insults are flung around the dining table (or la caja china) usually instigated by some political commentary or the family matriarch expressing disapproval […]

Andrei Svechnikov moved quickly to shut down talk that he was unhappy in Carolina or willing to welcome a trade. After a report from Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman suggested the winger was open to a move early in the season when his ice time dipped and he opened with an eight-game scoring drought, Svechnikov called it “just a rumor” and said there was “absolutely no” truth to it. The 25-year-old explained he deleted social media years ago and only heard about the speculation through...

Look at the standings and you can see why the phones are active but actual trades are not. In the Atlantic, first and eighth are separated by only seven points, with the Buffalo Sabres sitting last yet just a couple wins from the pack, and the Toronto Maple Leafs only just ahead. The Metropolitan is just as crowded through the middle, and even out West there is almost no daylight between the wild-card hopefuls. On SiriusXM NHL Network Radio , David Pagnotta ...

“We are a team, much like in Formula 1. There are a lot of us behind the scenes all working for the success of one person. The thing is, nothing we do will work if that player doesn’t put the effort in. Adam has done that since day one. Now, it’s time to reap the rewards.” For three-quarters of the year, hockey players are thrust in the limelight, their every move scrutinized by coaches, management, media, and the fans. Then the summer arrives, and everyone vanishes. While there are expec...

Look. We’ve all done it. It’s Thanksgiving Day, the turkey comes out of the oven, and you tell yourself you’re going to pace yourself. You’re not going to over-indulge. Yet, twenty minutes later, with cranberry sauce dripping down your chin, you realize that you’ve just consumed the caloric intake reserved for a family of four. The next thing you know, you’re passed out on the couch. With four goals in the first ten minutes of the game, the Lightning devoured the Flames like they were smo...

First period The teams are playing with a lot of energy, but not a lot of purpose early. Trading possession with no real attack. Josh Anderson gets the first shot of the game about four minutes in by using his speed to back off the defence before cutting into the middle for a shot. The line of Florian Xhekaj, Jake Evans, and Anderson gets a hard forecheck going and forces goaltender Karel Vejmelka to pounce on the puck and get a whistle. Maybe St-Louis recognized that tha...

Former NHL goalies landing in the KHL usually only happens with those born in Russia, but we've seen a handful of Canadian and American goalies who have opted to jump to the KHL rather than playing in the AHL. After being acquired by the Winnipeg Jets from the Florida Panthers last season, Chris Driedger spent most of his time with the Manitoba Moose after spending most of the previous two seasons with Coachella Valley and Charlotte. Rather than possibly being signed to another two-way deal, D...

The Islanders fell to the Boston Bruins for the second time this month and the third time this season, an odd sweep (two regulation losses, one shootout) at the hands of a team that has been up and down and missing its top defenseman. It was an odd game. The Islanders outshot Boston 45-14 (!), […]

The Flyers wrapped up the Florida leg of their road trip tonight with the third and final matchup of the season against the Panthers. It was a wild game, to be sure, complete with strange breakdowns, unconventional approaches to attempting to create chances, and another huge comeback on the Flyers’ part to come away with a 4-2 win, and ultimately, a win in the season series. The Basics First period: 5:21- Brad Marchand (Bennett, Verhaeghe) Second period: 5:16- Carter Verhaeghe (Ben...
