We’re back at last! It’s been almost three weeks since we’ve seen the Flyers on the ice for a game, but finally, they’re back at it for the first of two games on the road before they return home again this weekend. It’s an uphill battle they’re facing, and in front of them tonight will be a tough divisional rival (and a team sitting between them and a playoff spot) in the Capitals, and the Flyers will have to find a way to hit the ground running quickly if they want to regain some of the ...
You might recognize the player to the left if you're a Winnipeg Jets fan. That's CJ Suess who skated for both the Jets and the AHL's Manitoba Moose in his career before deciding to take his talents overseas to Germany this past season where he signed with the Dresden Eislöwen . There was no doubt that this was going to be a tough season for the Eislöwen as they had been promoted from the DEL2 last season to play in the Penny DEL this season against some of the German superpowers like Berlin, M...

It’s been said that hindsight is 20/20. Is it? It likely depends on how far removed you are from what you’re trying to see. The past is a vacuous concept. Anything you do is in the past a milesecond later. Perhaps it’s most accurate to say that hindsight will eventually be 20/20. Is it time […]
The Rangers returned from Milan and immediately made decisions that are, at best, confusing and, at worst, a warning sign that Drury and Sullivan may already be losing sight of what this rebuild actually requires.
It's anyone's guess exactly what the Vancouver Canucks are doing with their franchise. They have plenty of core pieces locked in, but traded Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood for some solid assets. This is a team that could clear out some space ahead of the deadline and retool in the offseason, or just tear it all down. Elias Pettersson seems to be the deciding factor on that decision. It's not the easiest to move him as his cap hit is $11.6 million AAV. And David Pagnotta said, "Vancouver's no...
