The Winnipeg Jets have picked up points in 2 straight contests, which is something the NHL franchise hasn’t done since mid-November. With a 4-5-1 record over their last 10 games, the True Northers have been struggling with consistency and that has head coach Scott Arniel often shuffling the forwards lines in search of offense. Tonight’s opponent for Winnipeg has also been having difficulties as of late, with the Edmonton Oilers sporting the same 4-5-1 record in the past 10…but scoring goals is...

The “debates” are already on fire and we have not even made it to Christmas. Man, I thought the team would be more successful. The lack of success (i.e., wins) is always the bottom line. Development of players is tough because patience is indeed a virtue. But that is hard to sell and buy. Be […]

For the second consecutive game, the Blackhawks will face the Kings in Los Angeles tonight. At least this game starts an hour earlier? And at least the Blackhawks were able to pull out an important, impressive win the previous meeting.
Teuvo Teräväinen is a game-time decision after taking a puck to the mouth late in the win two nights ago . He’s been terrific for the Blackhawks this season, no matter who’s on the ice with him. The Blackhawks did not have a morning skate, so we’ll have to ...

After I wrote last week about Garret Sparks suiting up with Bloomington as their EBUG for a week, I didn't expect to write a second story about a former NHL player finding work in the ECHL. The man to the left, though, has given me that opportunity as he signed a standard player contract with the ECHL's Jacksonville Icemen yesterday, and the veteran of 73 NHL games appears to have played last night as the Icemen hosted the Atlanta Gladiators. If you don't recognize him from that picture immedi...

The Jets and Dolphins met in Miami on Monday Night Football back in September with Miami staving off a late Jets rally to hold on for the 27-21 win. Both teams were winless ahead of that meeting but things are a little different this time, as the Jets have won three of five and Miami […]

With Luka Dončić and LeBron James out for LA’s contest against the Celtics, the Lakers needed somebody to step up and produce so they could continue winning during this road trip. Typically, Austin Reaves has not only embraced but also thrived in this role. He had 51 points against the Kings earlier this year when […]

The San Jose Sharks put forward a better effort but were unable to come out with a point in the team’s visit to Dallas on Friday night. Despite plenty of opportunities, the Sharks could not find the back of the net and lost to the Dallas Stars 4-1.
While the score makes it seem like a lopsided effort, it was a much closer game for most of the night. The score was 1-0 Dallas after the first period. The Sharks scored the only goal in the second period and the score stayed tied at one until ...

The noise around the Edmonton Oilers’ goaltending has quieted down in the last week, as since the team’s 8-3 blowout loss to the Dallas Stars, things have improved. It’s just a three-game stretch, mind you, but the Oilers have gone 2-1 with a pair of wins over the Kraken, in which Edmonton outscored them 13-4,…

There are lots of reasons to be excited about the Blackhawks in the NHL right now. There are as many (maybe more?) reasons to be excited about where the Blackhawks might be in the future. Even when we’re told there will be regression, and reminded of the percentages of prospects who actually hit at the NHL level, it’s hard to not look around this organization and be hyped right now.
The relative level of success the Blackhawks are having right now is even beginning to win converts from so...

November was not so kind to the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets were 31st in points percentage in November at .385 per cent a far cry from being 6th in that same category in October. That’s the type of run that gets you in the basement of the league and a lottery pick. However, seeing the…

The image to the left is a view I rarely find myself able to see unless I'm watching TimBits hockey. Even then, there's usually an army of parents cheering on their kids from ice level that force me to sit higher up in the stands. I'm not complaining since I don't have a kid on the ice, but the the point is that I rarely get to enjoy a hockey game at any level down at ice level. Being that I was offered a ticket to the Winnipeg Jets game tonight as they battled the Buffalo Sabres, I couldn't s...

It was a very messy start for the Blues, and Bournemouth had the ball in the back of the net in short order. Thankfully, Evanilson was leaning offside and thus Semenyo’s goal was ruled out. Chelsea didn’t settle right away and the home side continued to threaten. Eventually, we grew into the game and started […]
