On April 28th in 1993, Washington Capitals forward Dale Hunter delivered a late shoulder-separating hit on New York Islanders center Pierre Turgeon after the Lady Byng recipient converted Hunter's defensive-end turnover for the Isles 5th goal in Game 6 of the Patrick Division Semifinal. Witnessing the foul firsthand at Nassau Coliseum, the newly appointed Commissioner Gary Bettman assessed a 21
Instead of grabbing firm hold of the third-line center role, Juuso Parssinen failed to even grab hold of an NHL roster spot.
It was a do-or-die night for the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place after the Anaheim Ducks put them down 3-1 in their first round series with a controversial goal in overtime on Sunday. I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that the Oilers hadn’t played their best hockey in the first…

Yankees 3, Rangers 2
Everybody’s good at something. It’s just a case of figuring out what. Or at least, that’s how it was explained to me growing up. Granted, those explanations often came from coaches who were cutting me from the team, or concerned teachers whispering to my parents, or over the shoulder of horrified potential prom dates as they sprinted away from me. But the lesson stuck. And it turns out that it applies to the NHL. Even in a league with 32 teams that range from model franchises to, um, not that,...

Four CHLers remain, who will be the last prospect standing?
Looking back at past drafts is an easy way to play the what if game. It’s where we second guess missed opportunities and imagine how things might’ve unfolded if we’d landed that Pro Bowler instead of the guy who never quite panned out. But it’s one thing to critique from the outside and another to […]
The 2025-26 season for the New Jersey Devils is in the books, and the time has come to shift our attention from what’s going on on the ice to off the ice. New general manager Sunny Mehta has plenty of business to handle this summer as he inherits a talented, but flawed roster from Tom […]
The Carolina Panthers selected seven players in the 2026 NFL draft. As part of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, rookie contracts last for four years and are predetermined before the draft based on the league’s salary cap and where a player is drafted. There’s no negotiation so websites like Spotrac are able to inform us of the contract details before […]
In the heat of a tightly contested playoff series, it’s difficult to argue for moral victories, but it remains that even as the Flyers conceded another win to the Penguins last night to bring the series to a more narrow 3-2 margin, there were still positives in their play and reasons left for optimism that they can still get this thing back on track. Saturday’s Game 4 showing on home ice was, more comfortably, a poor showing. The Flyers lacked pace through much of the first half of ...
Samuel Bolduc's path to a new contract just got a little trickier, and his camp is already looking at alternatives. Winners Agency announced via their Telegram page that they are now representing the 25-year-old defenseman and are pursuing a KHL contract for next season. Bolduc came to Ottawa at the trade deadline when the Senators sent forward Jan Jenik to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for the blueliner. Because of the timing of the swap, Bolduc was ineligible to be recalled to the ...
A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
After a pummeling on home ice in Game 4, Bruins fans headed into last night’s elimination game in Buffalo hoping for, if nothing else, some pride, some effort, and a team that would show up, rather than go out with a whimper. They got that and more, as the Bruins recovered from an early one-goal […]
Bruce Cassidy appeared on Leafs Morning Take and said something interesting. Asked whether he had ever thought about what it would be like to coach in Canada, the 60-year-old who won the Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023 did not hesitate. "Yeah, it would be kind of cool to do it," Cassidy said. "I tell you what would be cool: to win a Stanley Cup in a Canadian city right now because it's been a while. That would be something else." He then spoke on how he approaches decis...
A dark cloud has been hovering over this Minnesota Wild team for a while now. They have suffered nine straight first-round exits. The last time they were able to win a playoff round was back in 2015, and then they promptly got swept by the Chicago Blackhawks as the reward for it. Whether it was batt...
Dylan Coleman made his season debut with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on April 24th against the Rochester Red Wings at PNC Field in northeastern Pennsylvania. It was more than a debut, however — it was also a comeback. The 29-year-old relief pitcher stepped away from the game after being released early last season by the Baltimore […]
