On November 30, 2023, Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Tristan Jarry became the 14th goaltender to be credited with a goal in a NHL game and the 9th goaltender to shoot the puck into the net. Defending a 3-2 lead against Tampa Bay with a minute remaining on the road, Jarry collected an Anthony Cirelli tip in and promptly fired it 175 feet into the Lightning's empty cage. The
Today In NHL History - Thornton Trade (BOS-SJS)
On November 30th in 2005, Boston Bruins GM Mike O'Connell traded the jewel of the 1997 Draft to Doug Wilson's San Jose Sharks for first rounders Wayne Primeau (17th in 1994), Marco Sturm (21st in 1996), and Brad Stuart (3rd in 1998), stunning pundits from coast to coast. Blindsided by the deal, Joe Thornton went on to win the Art Ross and Hart trophies in his west coast debut, cinching the
Today In NHL History - Ballard Slashes Vokoun
On November 30th in 2009, Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard bloodied teammate Tomas Vokoun with a vicious slash to the head after Atlanta Thrashers star Ilya Kovalchuk scored halfway through the first period.

Sunday Scramble: Don’t expect Oilers to make goalie trade, media scrum drama, Bettman quiet on expansion, and more
What did we learn about the Edmonton Oilers this week? Not much. The Oilers have long been fans of the zig-zag. Think they’re turning the corner? No, no. That game against Dallas was a classic Oilers trap. Coming off an emotional win vs arch-nemesis Florida, they had one of their several letdown games this season. …

The Day After 26.0: Oilers snag win that means a little more
All wins don’t come equal. Some you have to fight a little bit harder for, and some just mean a little bit more. For the Edmonton Oilers, all of the above were relevant in their 4-0 drubbing of the Seattle Kraken, as they won in every which way. They dominated on the scoreboard, putting up…

TBC: Certified Beauties
It has been a pleasure to have had the opportunities to read some great books over the last week that has allowed us to interview great authors on The Hockey Show .

That holds true for today's book review as Teebz's Book Club is proud to review Certified Beauties: More of Hockey's Greatest Untold S...
Friedman: Stuart Skinner didn’t request trade, Oilers won’t make ‘lateral move’ in potential goaltender swap
Amid a week where smoke has billowed from the stove of Edmonton about a potential goaltending trade, some of that timber is being held back from further ignition.

Top Dawg In The SPHL
It's been said many times that goaltenders are a different bunch of people from the rest of the players that make up hockey teams. Usually, this is in reference to goalies being a little superstitious when to comes to their routines on gameday, but you have to have an appreciation for guys who are willing to stand in front of a piece of rubber moving at three-digit speeds. The man to the left isn't Bruce Wayne nor is he Batman, but he could be considered a superhero in some circles for the num...

Today In NHL History - Billy Smith's Goal
On November 28, 1979, New York Islanders netminder Billy Smith became the first goaltender to be credited with a goal in a NHL game.

Smith, being the last offensive player to touch, was
Scenes From Morning Skate: Nugent-Hopkins returns as Oilers lose Roslovic
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is back. After missing nine games with an undisclosed injury, the Edmonton Oilers’ longest-tenured player returns to the lineup Saturday afternoon in Seattle. It’s good news.

After getting pantsed 8-3 by the Dallas Stars in what was the second blowout on home ice in their last three games, the Oilers roll into Seattle for a matinee that feels uncomfortably important at this stage of the season.

Pre-Scout: Oilers head to Seattle, where goals are hard to come by
The stingy Seattle Kraken are thick in the mix of the Pacific Division because they simply don’t allow goals. Their mark of 2.57 goals against a game is the second lowest in the NHL (at least before the Friday slate). So how wild is it that their goals per game are… The exact same: An…
