I know there's a push among women's hockey players to allow for more physicality in their game, and I'm not here to stifle that discussion and any resulting progress. If the women want to throw checks, they should be able to come to a reasonable agreement on how that can be done. As we saw in today's Canada-Czechia game, there are some women who are rather good at throwing bodychecks, but, just as in men's hockey, there can be injuries as we saw Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin exit the ga...

The Edmonton Oilers’ depth forwards haven’t produced much offence this season. Some have suggested it is due to a lack of opportunity or role. Is that true?

Let’s get you caught up on all the NHL action you missed over the weekend. There wasn’t any. Cool, good column. See you next time. OK, we won’t wrap it up quite that quickly. But with most teams getting only a couple of games in since this time last week, don’t expect any major changes in the rankings. Instead, let’s use this week as a bit of a reset and regroup before the rankings take a few weeks off. For example, now would be a good time to look at which teams have been on which lists so fa...

I was invited to a Super Bowl party tomorrow, but I have decided that I won't be going. I know there will likely be amazing food there based on who invited me and the always-delicious dishes this person seems to have available, but I'm declining the invitation for one major reason: I can't stand the NFL. People always seem to assume that because I'm a sports fan, I must love the NFL. I'm here to inform everyone that it's not true. In fact, if given the option of watching any NFL game at any po...

If teams are serious about making the playoffs or securing quarterfinal byes or home-ice advantage in the quarterfinals, this was the weekend where all of that could happen.
