On January 26th in 2001, Steve Sullivan of the Chicago Blackhawks was belittled by an out-spoken Avalanche fan as the forward left the ice upon having his nose bloodied by an Alex Tanguay highstick, resulting in a dozen stitches. Sullivan returned to score two shorthanded goals and see the same fan struck by an errant puck from a Patrick Roy clearing attempt. Revenge was sweet for Sullivan who

The Edmonton Oilers were not good during the Decade of Darkness. Aside from being in the playoff conversation in 2007-08 and 2012-13 (mainly because of the lockout), the Oilers were almost always at the bottom of the league. From 2006-07 until 2015-16, the Oilers didn’t make the playoffs once, hence the nickname the “Decade of…

What is the future for Vancouver Canucks ' Elias Pettersson in the midst of another disappointing season? For the second straight year, he's far underperformed on his $11.6 million AAV (and there's still six more seasons to run after this one). What teams are willing to take on that monstrous commitment, even with a retention of some sort by the Canucks? Per Daily Faceoff's Matt Larkin , there are plenty. And for good reason.

The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to turn the corner on their rebuild — or at least they’re trying to. Elliotte Friedman speculated that the Flyers might be interested in New York Rangers winger Artemi Panarin on the most recent episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast . We wrote on that report earlier on Friday, with a look at how it might benefit the Flyers. Sure, bringing in a Russian winger to help Matvei Michkov and take this team to the next level might make sense right now, but ...

The Edmonton Oilers are the second-highest scoring team in the NHL, and there have been a good amount of changes at forward with line mixing and injuries this season. There are some stable and trusted combinations, but there could still be something more added. The Oilers don't have much cap space to work with this season, but will use Andrew Mangiapane to free up cap space to make an addition. Beyond that, there isn't much they can do to open up space until the offseason. GM Stan Bowman will ...

The Blackhawks need a bounce-back performance in the worst way following Thursday’s debacle in Pittsburgh, and they’ll have an opportunity for that just over 24 hours later at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets. But that rebound will not come easy against a Columbus team that is one of the league’s hottest sides at the moment, winners in seven of eight. That stretch hasn’t quite pulled CBJ into playoff contention just yet, though, as it’s now up to 57 points in 52 games (25-20-7) but ...
