A Familiar Weakness Continued To Burn the Wild In Game 2
The Minnesota Wild's penalty kill was their greatest weakness in the 2024-25 season. In the regular season, they successfully defended on only 72.4% of their shorthanded chances, then allowed the Vegas Golden Knights to go 5-for-19 on the power play during the playoffs. The year before that, Minneso...
NHL Rumors: Kris Knoblauch Done In Edmonton?
The Edmonton Oilers went to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals in 2024 and 2025. This year they lost to the Anaheim Ducks in six games. The fallout from that result has been significant, and the question of whether Kris Knoblauch will coach the Oilers next season is now very much open. GM Stan Bowman addressed the media Saturday morning at Rogers Place for a 30-plus-minute exit interview and declined to guarantee his coach's future in any meaningful way. "When you don't have success, I th...

Lightning Morning News: Toronto Maple Leafs win draft lottery
Well, it’s been an interesting past few days for the Toronto Maple Leafs. First, they hired a new GM , and the reaction has been, well, mixed. Along with John Chayka they added Mats Sundin as a Senior Advisor, Hockey Operations. Chayka has been out of the league since 2020 after he abruptly stepped down from his role as the Arizona Coyotes general manager. Oh, yeah, and he was suspended by the league for a year as well. As for Sundin, this will be the franchise icon’s first job in hockey manag...

Devils in the Details – 5/6/26: No. 12 Edition
Here are your links for today: Devils Links No. 12 it is: Should the Devils bet long-term on Arseny Gritsyuk? “Yes, committing long-term after just 66 NHL games carries risk.

Elliotte Friedman Drops Major Quinn Hughes Extension Hint Involving Wild
While it is not great that the Minnesota Wild are down 2-0 in the second round to the Colorado Avalanche and find themselves at the bottom of a big mountain to climb against one of the best teams in the league, we do at least get to share some good news. In multiple places over the last week, i...

Pens Points: Malkin discourse shows no signs of slowing
Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… As the debate to re-sign Evgeni Malkin continues to be the dominant news item (and figures to remain that way until a decision is made), two opposing views on Malkin’s future with the Penguins win out above everything else: one argument is that he’s still productive […]
Islanders & NHL News: Rocky promotion, Schaefer Calder formality, Leafs lottery
A day after a widely panned press conference to introduce their new GM and figurehead, the Toronto Maple Leafs were handed a gift by the hockey gods/conspiracy forces by winning the draft lottery to get the #1 pick this summer. This was quite the cliffhanger, as had just one lower team won the first or […]

*A lovely, midweek break from the playoff madness. That’s what we have today, friends. Let’s enjoy it. Enjoy it before realizing we probably won’t have Noah Cates for Game 3 tomorrow.

[ PHLY ] *In fact, there’s a lot of good to talk about after that Game 2 performance. Even with regard to Travis Konecny, who ha...
Laval @ Toronto recap & highlights: Kähkönen and Blais guide the Rocket to a Game 4 win
With their backs against the wall and the season on the line, the Laval Rocket stepped onto the ice in Toronto for Game 4 versus the Marlies, coming off of back-to-back 6-2 defeats in Games 2 and 3. The Rocket had to give this game everything they had, or would risk going home much earlier than expected after a regular-season division title. Pascal Vincent, clearly unhappy with the lineup’s effort over the last two games, scrambled things around all over the lineup. Alex Belzile was down ...

Dan Ballard’s Dismissal Highlighted The Need For A Rule Change
The dismissal of Dan Ballard in the 24th minute of Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Wolves brought up a huge point for debate. In the immediate aftermath of the game, there were a fair number of our fans who, despite having not seen the footage of the incident at the point, seemed to be of the […]

San Jose Sharks land 2nd overall pick in 2026 draft lottery
For all the talk of a potential stop in the playoffs for the San Jose Sharks this season, the team found itself back where it was last May 5, watching a bunch of little balls bounce around and hoping that those balls might bounce San Jose’s way. The Sharks returned to the draft lottery once again today, albeit, with worse odds than last year. When all was said and done, San Jose somehow pulled off a miracle, and Cinco de Mayo was once again a lucky day for the Sharks. For the second year in a ...
Today In NHL History - Bure Elbows Churla
On May 4th in 1994, Vancouver Canucks superstar Pavel Bure blindsided Dallas Stars forward Shane Churla with an unpenalized elbow to the head sending a message to the Stars Goon-In-Chief for his teammates' shenanigans. The Canucks won Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinal 3-0 on the back of Bure's two goals, eventually taking the series 4-1. Churla refused to shake Bure's hand at the end of
Today In NHL History - Luongo's Playoff Poop
On May 3rd in 2007, Vancouver Canucks backup backstop Dany Sabourin surprised everyone, including GM Dave Nonis, starting the overtime period against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals in place of netminder Roberto Luongo. Originally thought to be an equipment issue, Luongo later revealed his absence had more to do with plumbing than padding admitting that he
Today In NHL History - Domi Elbows Niedermayer
On May 3rd in 2001, Toronto Maple Leafs bruiser Tie Domi delivered a vicious elbow to the head of New Jersey Devils blueliner Scott Niedermayer rendering him unconscious.

The Yankees were down 3-0 in the top of the first inning. There were runners on second and third with two out and a 3-2 count on Jake Burger. Struggling rookie pitcher Elmer Rodríguez was on the verge of being pulled as he neared 40 pitches. Before the Yanks even had a chance to bat, […]
Five-In-Five For All
For as much as I support U SPORTS hockey, it's hard to argue that the machine south of the border known as the NCAA isn't a system that churns out all sorts of talent. One can make a case that the University of Michigan, North Dakota, Boston College, and Boston University, and the University of Minnesota have been factories for hockey talent for years with the number of players they sent to the NHL, and a vast number of these players have been top picks in the NHL draft while playing long NHL ...
