Am I An Influencer?
The short answer to the question above is no, I'm not an influencer by any means. The deeper answer is that I neither want to live my life in the public eye nor would I want to have my face and thoughts splashed all over social media. Frankly, it seems exhausting, and I know I could put that time to better use for a plethora of things. That being said, the news to the left today was pretty awesome to see as the Colorado Avalanche went ahead and promoted Kim Weiss to a permanent assistant coach...

NHL News: Rangers entering ‘retool’ mode, won’t offer contract to pending UFA Panarin
It’s only the middle of January, but the New York Rangers are already looking to put the 2025-26 season behind them and turn their attention to the future.

Today In NHL History - Ott's Shootout No Goal
On January 16th in 2010, Dallas Stars forward Steve Ott was stopped on his first ever shootout attempt by Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard. Despite an emphatic no goal call by perfectly positioned referee Rob Martell, the ruling was reversed by the NHL on video review. Appalled by the call, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock exclaimed "The video replay showed the puck didn't go in the net, I
Sending Connor Ingram to the AHL would be the wrong decision for the Oilers
For a team that has needed consistent goaltending, it sure would be a poor decision for the Edmonton Oilers to send Connor Ingram down. With Tristan Jarry being activated off the long-term injured reserve this week, the Oilers have three goaltenders on the roster, with Calvin Pickard being the third. Obviously, Jarry is going nowhere,…

After falling to the Predators in overtime on Tuesday, the Oilers were back at home to close out their season series against the New York Islanders.

Celebrate recycled coaches by taking our "Who Didn't He Coach For?" quiz
NHL teams sure do love to recycle coaches. Sure, you can always make the case for somebody with a fresh set of eyes and a different, maybe even more modern approach. But when a GM is choosing the hire that could make or break his team’s chances, the temptation to go with an experienced hand who’s been around the league will always be there. We saw that this week in Columbus, where the Blue Jackets moved on from Dean Evason . They replaced him with 71-year-old veteran Rick Bowness , who’s been ...
