After rejoining the NHL’s hockey operations department, Brendan Shanahan looks like a short-term league hire with a long-term goal of running a team again. Among the suitors, the Buffalo Sabres stand out from the pack, edging the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators thanks to multiple factors. League chatter, and Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos suggests Shanahan would listen, provided he gets Toronto Maple Leafs -style autonomy.

Stating the Maple Leafs badly needed a response effort after what was ultimately a comeback win over Pittsburgh is maybe overstating matters slightly, but they should’ve been heavily emphasizing a better start entering this game. Despite the 1-0 Utah scoreline after one period, the Leafs mostly played a strong opening frame. Missed opportunities for Toronto, […]

Women’s Hockey (12-0) The women’s hockey team stayed unbeaten with back-to-back 4-0 wins over Robert Morris. The defense allowed just 31 shots on goal in the series, and Katie DeSa stopped all of them in one of the best combined efforts from the defense all season. Tessa Janecke’s 10-game point streak ended in Game 2, […]

In the last few weeks, I have found myself reading more books about hockey. Part of that reason is due to the guests we're featuring on The Hockey Show , but I've been rediscovering my love of reading as I learn about different topics within the stories about hockey. I've been lucky enough, since starting Teebz's Book Club, to find books that are impossible to put down due to the writing and the topics contained within the covers. Our book today is one of those books as Teebz's Book Club is pr...

It’s rare to suggest a team needs a “response” effort after a win, but it is sort of true in this case as the Maple Leafs seek a better start vs. the upstart Utah Mammoth, who are 9-4-1 and are playing tired in a back-to-back situation. The Leafs should receive a boost from the return […]

Nick Robertson has earned more ice time of late. We’ve seen him […]

It’s Hall of Fame induction week, and the class of 2025 is an interesting one. Of the four players on the men’s side, we had two absolute locks (Zdeno Chara and Joe Thornton), plus one guy who was very close (Duncan Keith) and another who should have been (Alexander Mogilny). While you never quite know how the committee will judge a candidate, all four players absolutely felt like future Hall-of-Famers midway through their careers. Many eventual HHOFers fit that pattern. That said, it’s possib...

Losing becomes a bad habit at any time of the season. The Toronto Marlies were delighted to snap out of a four-game losing skid, of which at least half were self-inflicted defeats. A fast start was critical, as was Artur Akhtyamov’s performance in net and the Marlies’ willingness to grind and go toe-to-toe with a […]

The Flyers didn’t fare so well over their weekend back-to-back against the Leafs and the Flames, picking up a pair of pretty uninspiring losses (and looking, truly, perhaps the worst they have all season on Sunday). They’re in a bit of a spiral here, looking for answers as their process has broken down a bit, and they’re looking to stop the bleeding and get things back on track in short order, taking advantage of the opportunity for a reset that a trip up to Montreal can offer them.

David Kampf is taking a few days to consider his future with the Toronto Maple Leafs , and it definitely has the feel of a crossroads. The veteran center was waived before the season because of a roster and salary cap crunch, landed with the Marlies, and now he is stepping back to figure out what comes next. David Kampf wants to play in the NHL. That is not in doubt. The question is whether that can still happen in Toronto, or if the answer is a fresh start somewhere else. Da...
