Big Surprise in Anaheim As Ducks Make Shocking Healthy Scratch

It was a contentious offseason last summer for the Anaheim Ducks and one of their young core players, Mason McTavish. The 23-year-old center was a restricted free agent, and engaged in a holdout from training camp as the Ducks just weren't convinced they wanted to hand out the kind of massive contract that the player was looking for.  In the end, they settled on a six-year, $7 million AAV deal. But McTavish hasn't quite lived up to his end of the bargain this season with just 13 goals and...

Flyers’ Dan Vladar’s season deserves to end in the right way

In a season where the Flyers have struggled mightily to find consistent goal-scoring, failing to score more than two goals in a game times out of their contests, they have had to rely on suppressing shots and goals to win games.  While they have played an improved style of defense, a tent pole staple of Rick Tocchet’s coaching philosophy, they create so little offense on the other end that it almost evens out. The Flyers are one of the best teams in the league at limiting shots, but ...
