Now, that the brain has been refreshed a little, it’s time to get back into the swing of things. It doesn’t appear we missed much when it comes to the Lightning. They signed Scott Sabourin to a one-year, two-way contract , which is nice. PuckPedia lists the te...

The Brady Tkachuk trade conversation got reignited recently when former Florida Panthers head coach Doug MacLean made a confident prediction on the Real Kyper & Bourne show. "Think about this," MacLean said. "Everybody's trying to get in the top ten. Florida has the ninth pick in the draft. Where is Brady Tkachuk gonna want to go?" He continued: "Florida will never have another top-ten pick for two or three years. This is the time when you've got to move on Florida. You pick up a couple of...

In a move that should surprise no one, Hockey Canada announced today that Canadian national women's team general manager Gina Kingsbury and head coach Troy Ryan will not return to continue their work with the national women's program. I have nothing against Kingsbury or Ryan personally, but it was hard to understand their personnel choices at the Milano-Cortina Olympics and the games leading up to the Olympics.
