Are there pigs flying outside your window? I haven’t seen any, but after hearing the news that the Chicago Bulls were part of a trade this season, I figured that had to be what was coming next. If you tune out the rumors, this season has been painfully quiet on the transaction front. The deal that broke last night was only the second trade of the regular season, but it could be the small domino that teams needed to finally crack the dam. The Sacramento Kings acquired De’Andre Hunter, send...

Multiple top-nine forwards left the Edmonton Oilers organization this past summer, with names such as Connor Brown, Corey Perry, Viktor Arvidsson, Jeff Skinner, and more.

The Oilers added only one notable, established…

The Montreal Canadiens played the biggest game of their season to date on Saturday night, visiting the Buffalo Sabres, who entered the game just ahead of the Habs in the standings. A win would not only move Montreal into third place, but close the gap between them and the teams at the very top of the division and conference. They opened the game with a strong first period, taking a one-goal lead with a power play goal, before a disastrous second period saw them enter the final frame trailing b...

As fun as Thursday Night was for the Canes, yesterday was equally frustrating as once again the Canes give up a 3-0 lead to a team on the road. This time it was to the Washington Capitals as they couldn’t match the desperation of a team fighting for its playoff life. There’s little time to […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs should be in sell mode at the trade deadline for the first time in a decade. That much is clear, and I don’t think anybody would argue otherwise at this point.

With a chance at redemption after a blown 3-0 lead in neighboring Edmonton, the Sharks stumbled once again against the Calgary Flames. Two points lost to a Calgary team that’s struggled to win this season feel like a bit more than that, considering how tight the Western Conference playoff race has become, but the Sharks will have to move on and find a way to salvage more points out of this road trip. Will Smith got the game going early for San Jose with a power play goal, his fourth in th...
