I know there are hockey traditionalists who still think that Jessica Campbell being on an NHL bench is, in some way, wrong, but she made it to where she is on merit, skill, and knowledge. She is one of many women who took part in the NHLCA Female Coaches Program, and it led to her landing a job with the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds where the team found immense success under head coach Dan Bylsma and assistant coach Jessica Campbell. Campbell will tell you that her time with the Firebirds w...

The Edmonton Oilers have a problem. They’re pressed up tight to the salary cap, and while they’ve been able to manoeuvre by activating Jake Walman and Tristan Jarry from the Long-Term Injured Reserve by placing an injured Adam Henrique there, they won’t be able to do that forever. In fact, when the time comes to…

Kris Knoblauch chose Connor Ingram over Calvin Pickard for tonight’s game, and the message is becoming clearer: Ingram’s earned his spot, at least for now. We all know the Edmonton Oilers can only carry three goaltenders for so long before someone has to head to Bakersfield. Tonight, the only place Pickard is going is the…

Well, boys and girls. Looks like we will continue to beat that horse! The offseason fun/drama is in full effect now. The press conferences from KAM and KOC were interesting.

The 2025 college football season will end Monday night in Miami when the Hoosiers and Hurricanes face off in the 2026 CFP championship game. While Illinois fans probably hoped the Illini could have found a way to this game (or at least into the Playoff), there’s still a lot for the Orange and Blue to […]

The Winnipeg Jets have won three contests in a row, matching their second longest hot streak on the 2025-26 campaign, and they will be attempting to extend that on Thursday evening when they visit the Minnesota Wild. After the True Northers dropped their opening regular season game, the club strung together 5 consecutive victories for their longest winning streak of the year. Can they try match or surpass that plateau as they try to work their way back into the playoff conversation? The c...

The Blackhawks are (hopefully, knock on wood) over their illness situation and ready to skate a full, healthy game tonight against a Calgary Flames squad that comes in 7-16-2 on the road.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Calgary Flames on Thursday night at the United Center, hoping to get back in the win column as the flu bug that’s ripped through the locker room appears to be winding down. This season has largely gone sideways for the Flames, who enter the midpoint of the year sitting 30th in the league by points percentage (.457) and looking every bit like a team stuck in neutral. On paper, they look mostly average — the Flames own 51.01 percent of shot attempts (12th in ...

Dear Mario Cristobal, Sigh… alright, here we go…. “I’m stupid; you’re smart. I was wrong; you were right. You’re the best; I’m the worst. You’re very good looking; I’m not attractive.” There, I did it. Full-Happy-Gilmore-to-Chubbs-Peterson apology done, as I’ve had in my head for a while to do. And, well, I just so happen […]

I know the New Jersey Devils most recent stretch has led to a lot of doom and gloom, both here and in other Devils-centric circles around the internet. It’s merited when you consider the expectations for the team versus the results so far. At the same time, I understand the voices that are tired of […]

A nightmare has struck the city of Philadelphia. During the Flyers’ big and embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday night, goaltender Dan Vladar suffered an injury and had to be pulled after the first period. While the Flyers confirmed the swap to put Sam Ersson in was due to injury (and not for allowing two goals on five shots in 20 minutes), the true confirmation that Vladar is going to at least miss Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins came the morning after. Accor...

Entering their game on Thursday night, Pittsburgh Penguins rookie Ben Kindel will be riding a 14-game goal-less drought. Beyond that, he has just one goal in his past 19 games going back to early December. That does not necessarily mean he has not been playing well (because he still has been), but it is still […]
