Editor’s note: this Mick Cronin article originally ran on Feb. 20, but is now updated with the reporting conducted after UCLA’s Big Ten Tournament elimination. From the outside looking in, if UCLA and their head Men’s Basketball Coach, Mick Cronin, parted ways, perhaps most of those involved would be happier. We know that Cronin seemingly […] The post Is Mick Cronin Actually Trying to Get Fired by the UCLA Bruins? appeared first on The Sports Bank .

The Basics First period: 19:31- Quinton Byfield (Moore, Laferriere) Second period: :26- Travis Konecny (Ristolainen, Bump), :47- Anze Kopitar (Clarke, Panarin), 4:12- Noah Cates (Mi...
Recap of the game.
Was it a perfect win for the Tampa Bay Lightning? No, but they took care of business as they helped Vancouver get one step closer to the best odds in the draft lottery downing the Canucks, 6-2. Six different players scored for the Lightning and Nikita Kucherov posted a three-point night in the victory. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 19-of-21 for the victory. There were some struggles along the way as Vancouver was able to pin them in the zone for stretches at times. The passing wasn’t as cris...

This one suuuucks. Brady Tkachuk’s goal with 11 seconds left was a gut punch, but the Islanders squandered two leads, going up in the second period thanks to Matthew Schaefer, and then again early in the third thanks to Brayden Schenn. But Schenn’s goal was the ONLY SHOT ON GOAL FOR THE ISLANDERS IN THE […]
Tkaptain Tklutch!
Arber Xhekaj's days with the Montreal Canadiens seem to be coming to an end. At least according to Tony Marinaro of TVA Sports, who said this week, "Something's going to happen" with the hard-hitting defenseman's future. "I think that at some point, the Canadiens are going to have to make a decision [about Xhekaj]," Marinaro said during the JiC show. "I don't think Xhekaj has a future with the Canadiens. I wouldn't be surprised if something happens during draft w...
First period Emmitt Finnie tries to chip the puck over Jakub Dobeš. He does so, but it bounces off the crossbar and goes behind the net. Cole Caufield fires one of his patented surprise shots from the goal line and John Gibson spins as he catches it but keeps himself out of the net. Juraj Slafkovský gets Montreal’s first great scoring chance off the ensuing faceoff thanks to a lobbed saucer pass across the top of the crease from Nick Suzuki. Brendan Gallagher tips a point...
Igor Shesterkin did everything he could to keep this game close, but the Rangers’ bad habits—and a few brutal bounces—sent them to yet another defeat.
A season of struggle only gets worse for Sean Couturier, as he’ll miss tonight’s game against the Kings with an undisclosed upper-body injury, according to Rick Tocchet. The Flyers captain has looked a step slower this season, only producing seven goals and 22 points throughout his 66 games, and being relegated to fourth line duties at five-on-five as of late. However, nothing about his performance against Anaheim on the first night of the Flyers’ west coast back-to-back suggested t...

We’re officially one week away from Opening Day. The roster is coming more into focus as the day gets closer, but there are a few games to still play this spring.

The San Jose Sharks are back home tonight and looking for a bit of retribution after last week’s drubbing at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres. The Sharks were humbled in Buffalo on March 10 , losing to the Sabres 6-3 on a game that showed the Sharks have a lot to clean up in their game. Luckily for the Sharks, the team has a chance to make up for that loss tonight. The team can start with stronger puck management, specifically making smarter decisions with the puck. In Buffalo, Edmonton an...

General Manager Chris Drury of the New York Rangers had a chance to maximize his cache of assets this deadline by trading center Vincent Trocheck. A reliable two-way forward who hasn affordable contract, compared to other centers in the league who have been demoted to the third-line (Elias Lindholm). Nevertheless, Trocheck wasn't moved by this deadline, in a perplexing fashion, as the Rangers opted to keep him around. It's not until free agency in July that the team could fi...
