NHL weekend rankings: It’s not too early to imagine a dream first playoff round
We’re just hitting the two-thirds mark of the regular season. The Olympic break is days away, the trade deadline is still over a month away, and a million things can change between now and April.

And that feels especially true right now, when a peek at the standings hints at a first round that could be...

The Blackhawks and Sharks play Monday night, so I thought it was worth both a bump and some additional discussion. The parallels between the Blackhawks and Sharks run deep. Both Mike Grier and Kyle Davidson were named the permanent general managers of their respective clubs in 2022. And, as Pope writes, both teams went with the burn-it-d...
