Minus 1: Goaltending - The Miracle Cure
There are few things that change a hockey game like stellar goaltending. It can stifle a dominant offense and give a team a chance to steal points after being vastly outplayed. This is exactly ...

It’s a late one tonight. 10:30 EST start. This may seem outrageous however, I’d suggest to get used to it because playoff games start at 10 EST and they always start late. So this should feel like dryland training for the playoffs!
Coyotes are a fake team designed to take on cap space for the other teams. Most recently it was Jakub Voracek going there to LTIRetire. They definitely didn’t get w...

Tonight is the Sharks and there are a few reasons I’m fascinated with this one:
I was in charge of our Mock Draft and drafted Martin Kaut... at the time everyone said I was nuts and he’d be a bust. Well, you were probably right! But I will cheer for him to the end.
Campbell may be the starter and that’s always fun!

Leon Draisaitl’s powerplay production has reached new heights this season, and is a major reason why he hit the century mark. Scoring another two goals on Tuesday night against Ottawa, 27-year old Leon Draisaitl reached the 100 point mark for the fourth time in his career. He currently ranks third in the league this season with 44 goals and seventh overall with 56 assists.
Draisaitl now has 716 points in 624 career NHL games - and has established him...

The Russell Westbrook era got off to the craziest start possible for the Clippers. In a game that effectively resembled a belated NBA All-Star exhibition matchup, the Los Angeles Clippers fell to the Sacramento Kings, 176-175, in double overtime.
It was the second-highest scoring game in the league’s history, as both sides shot the lights out and played at an unbelievable pace right up until the final buz...

SB Nation is ending support of all MLS websites on the network. As you have probably heard by now, SB Nation and their parent company Vox Media announced a number of layoffs today. Included in that were the brands’ NHL and MLS sites. We received the email that Dynamo Theory was a part of that and we would no longer be supported or monetized. We join all of our fellow contributors across the brand in voicing our disappointment and frustration.

Goofy stuff happens in hockey games. Usually once or twice in a season, an unfortunate team will end up giving up a goal while possessing the puck during a delayed penalty, either thanks to a bad bounce or errant pass will find its’ way into a vacated goal.
That happened twice on Friday evening. But that’s not the strangest part. Adding to the already astronomical improbability is that in both instances, the player credited for the goal was the player that the delayed pe...

It’s a short turnaround from the 2022 tournament, which took place this past June in Madison, Wisconsin after being rescheduled due to Covid, giving the US a quick opportunity to avenge their loss to Canada in that tournament’s gold medal game.
Six skaters along with goalie Annelies Bergmann return from the 2022 roster for the United States. Holy Cr...

Back in 2008, way before SB Nation became part of Vox Media, Brad Lee asked me to start writing a weekly column for Game Time. Tuesdays With Hildy looked at an issue of the week facing the Blues, handling analysis with careful thought and consideration.
Or something. I’m not really sure what it did, but it was interesting enough that in 2013, as the lockout wound down, Brad passed the website baton to me. Over nearly a decade, I’ve always tried my best -...

Can the Blues turn around a sinking ship? To say that the Blues’ play as of late has been uninspiring is being very generous. Mired in their longest regulation losing streak since Craig Berube took over as coach, the pressure is on for this team to play as well as they did during the first three games.
Brandon Saad is still out for tonight, but the team has options, and they’ve chosen to exercise them. From stlblues.com, here’re tonight’s lines:

What is going on with this team? It’s been a while since Blues fans have been treated to a stretch of play this putrid. What began as a good effort loss to the Winnipeg Jets last week has slid into an absolute dumpster fire in which it looks like the Blues are actively trying to lose games.
Their 6-2 loss against the Nashville Predators was bad, but their 7-4 loss on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens was atrocious. A blown 3-1 lead sl...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be in.

Does this mean that scoring reinforcements are coming? The Blues’ offense has been sputtering thanks to the absence of Pavel Buchnevich and Brandon Saad. Thankfully, part of the missing pieces are returning tonight.

This could be a tougher task than the Blues expect. The less said about the Blues’ humbling 6-2 loss to the Nashville Predators on Thursday night the better. Goaltending was a mess of flubber and kicksaves straight to the opposing team. Defense, which has been strong through a bulk of the Blues’ season so far, followed the goaltending, making for discombobulated scene. The offense, which shone through the Blues’ first three games, has been nearly abse...

Once on a five game losing streak, the Predators erupted to punish the Blues. Brayden Schenn blasted a one-timer into the roof of the net to make the score 2-1 midway through the second period. The Blues looked like they may break the game wide open against a Predators team on a five game skid. Instead, Schenn’s goal was the last time the Blues looked remotely interested in scoring for the remainder of the game.
Absolutely Schenn-sational. #s...
