Bruce Cassidy appeared on Leafs Morning Take and said something interesting.
Asked whether he had ever thought about what it would be like to coach in Canada, the 60-year-old who won the Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023 did not hesitate.
"Yeah, it would be kind of cool to do it," Cassidy said. "I tell you what would be cool: to win a Stanley Cup in a Canadian city right now because it's been a while. That would be something else."
He then spoke on how he approaches decis...
John Garrett has passed away unexpectedly at 74 after over 40 years of colour commentary, authorities announced on Tuesday morning. Garrett was a goaltender in the NHL and WHA. When “Cheech” retired in 1985, he became one of the greatest colour commentators in the NHL. For 12 seasons, Garrett worked for CBC, where he covered…
Perhaps the hottest coaching candidate in the NHL openly stated on Monday that winning a Stanley Cup in Canada would be cool. As a Pacific Division rival of the Edmonton Oilers, Bruce Cassidy won a Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023 and is viewed as one of the best coaches in the…
Will the NHL consider a shake-up to provide more weight to regulation wins in the league’s future? NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says it’s unlikely. On Tuesday evening, Bettman sat with the media in Buffalo, where there were discussions regarding a change in the regular season points system. “A lot of people suggest that what we…
The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue all week long after an excellent start over the weekend.
The playoffs have already delivered some chaos: the Buffalo Sabres stormed back late to stun the Boston Bruins, the Montreal Canadiens won Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Lightning in overtime thanks to a hat trick from Juraj Slafkovsky, and the Minnesota Wild crushed the Dallas Stars early just to remind everyone brackets aren’t set in stone. Meanwhile, the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights ...
Ramus Andersson was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights on Jan. 18, 2026. The Golden Knights paid a pretty penny for a right-shot defenseman who has yet to sign an extension with the team. General manager Kelly McCrimmon's entire philosophy is a mercenary outlook to building a roster, whatever it takes, quick turnover, and for those who don't fit, an unceremonious exit. As the team has entered the Stanley Cup playoffs under newly-hired head coach John Tortorella, you have to wonder...
81 games down, one to go. The Golden Knights clinched the Pacific Division with a win over Seattle on Wednesday, but the Oilers still have plenty at stake in their regular-season finale against Vancouver. A win would secure second place and home-ice advantage in the first round. A regulation loss could drop Edmonton into a…
The Toronto Maple Leafs are a dysfunctional mess, and everyone around the NHL knows it. The Leafs went from giving the Florida Panthers their biggest test during their Stanley Cup championship run, to a dismal offseason which saw Mitch Marner head for Vegas, to a regular season loaded with unmet expectations. There's been plenty of chatter recently about how CEO Keith Pelley was trying to influence Brad Treliving with AI-created trade proposals, and now head coach Craig Berube is on thin ice a...
Recap of the game.
The 2023 1st rounder will play tonight in Vegas.
Well, here we are in mid-April….the National Hockey League’s regular season has almost reached its conclusion and the Winnipeg Jets’ playoff hopes have all but evaporated. While our club hasn’t been mathematically eliminated, the True Northers have just a 0.5% chance at qualifying ( according to MoneyPuck ).
A slew of injuries ( 137 games missed by Winnipeg’s top 15 players ) and too many underperforming secondary scorers has seen our Jets go from soaring with the NHL’s elite franchises t...
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Jonathan Quick has had a remarkable second act. After a legendary thirteen-year run with the Kings that produced two Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe Trophy in 2012, and a pair of Vezina Trophy nominations, Quick reinvented himself as a respected backup, first in Vegas, where he won his third Cup in 2023, then across three one-year deals with the New York Rangers . In February 2025, he became the first American-born goaltender in NHL history to win 400 games. A month later, the Rangers ...
The Colorado Avalanche, fresh off a Presidents Trophy-clinching performance on Thursday, play their final weekend game of the regular season tonight. After a three and a half month hiatus, they will wrap up the season series against the Vegas Golden Knights, who pay their only(?) visit to the Mile High City this spring. Colorado Avalanche […]

Nick Kypreos raised an uncomfortable question on Sportsnet last week. With Mark Stone turning 34 in May and sitting on the final year of his contract, Kypreos said people around the league are already wondering whether Stone can play next season at all, and whether he might be headed toward the same situation as Alex Pietrangelo, who has been on season-ending long-term injured reserve since last summer with no timeline for a return. That comparison is going to alarm Vegas Golden Kn...
After having their winning streak snapped by Vegas on Saturday at Rogers Place, the Edmonton Oilers kicked off their road trip in Utah for the first half of a back-to-back set. Losing a divisional game in regulation like that was tough, and life wasn’t going to get any easier against the surging Mammoth. So, it…
A week after the Vegas Golden Knights swapped coaches, firing Bruce Cassidy in favour of John Tortorella, the New York Islanders made a change of their own behind the bench. Patrick Roy was let go by the Islanders on Sunday, hiring Pete DeBoer as his replacement for not just the remainder of this year, but…
Bruce Cassidy is looking for work after being fired by the Vegas Golden Knights. However, if one team offers him a coaching position this summer, reports are he's likely going to hold off, and look elsewhere. Insert the Toronto Maple Leafs. A team that has limited direction at the moment and is in search of a new general manager, after Brad Treliving was recently fired. There's speculation brewing that CEO Keith Pelley is also going to let Craig Berube go at the end of the season, and if there...
Goaltending has been the Vegas Golden Knights' biggest weakness this season, and they should be looking for help between the pipes this offseason because of it. Due to this, let's take a look at three goalies who the Golden Knights should consider targeting this summer. Sergei Bobrovsky, Florida Panthers If Bobrovsky hits the free-agent market this summer, the Golden Knights certainly could be a team that pursues him. While the 37-year-old has had a tough 2025-26 season, his incredible r...
Getting fired with less than 10 games left in the NHL season is a trend nobody saw coming this season. Bruce Cassidy was let go in Vegas, and now Patrick Roy was fired on Long Island on Sunday, as GM's around the league aren't wasting any time making changes if things don't feel they way they should. Both teams were in playoff positions and needed a new voice heading into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Looking around the league, there's a few coaches who could be next to be let go from their teams....
First Leon Draisaitl. Now Zach Hyman. For the second year in a row, the Edmonton Oilers will be playing short key bodies down the stretch. While they dropped Saturday night’s affair 5-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights, allowing them to tighten the Pacific Division, it’s what came after the game that was of more concern….
During their five-game win streak, the Edmonton Oilers broke out of their zone cleanly and weren’t leaking chances off the rush. Those issues returned in a 5-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, a night where a woman going into labour at Rogers Place, and a fan getting bloodied with a puck provided some of…
As much as every game is a big one for the Edmonton Oilers right now, Saturday’s matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights was massive. Not only did the Oilers have the opportunity to take sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division, but they were also looking to avoid giving Vegas the chance to…
Already without superstar Leon Draisaitl, things are going to get tougher for the Edmonton Oilers on their upcoming three-game road trip. Zach Hyman, who missed Saturday’s 5-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, is expected to miss games against the Utah Mammoth, San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings this week, Oilers head coach Kris…
