CHN Special Report: Part 2 ... Follow the Money
In Part 1 of our Special Report, we looked at how the unlimited transfers and new money have changed the landscape; and how the pressure to keep up, and lack of guardrails, have led to tampering allegations and a wild west atmosphere.In Part 2, we'll see which teams are spending the money, and how. In most cases, this is still evolving, as schools figure out how much they'll have to spend, where the...
Three Head-Scratching Years
Far be it for me to question anyone's position in hockey from where I sit, but I always found it strange that the Toronto Maple Leafs hired Bred Treliving to be their general manager three years ago. That's not to say that Treliving wasn't able to do the job, but it's hard to ignore the immense pressure that comes with sitting in the big chair in a city that demands a winner. Being that 1967 is a lifetime ago and the Leafs moving away from a playoff spot has to come with consequences, and Toro...
Oilers injury update: Trent Frederic and Colton Dach are ‘very close’ to lineup return
The Edmonton Oilers are getting some positive injury news. Kris Knoblauch spoke to the media on Monday after practice and gave a rough timeline on the return of two injured forwards: Trent Frederic and Colton Dach. He said they are both “very close.” “Whether it’s Thursday, Saturday, or the following game. That’s the timeline for both…
Friedman: Cassidy’s ‘frayed relationship’ with Golden Knights players began in Oilers’ playoff series
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman says the fracture between Vegas Golden Knights players and former head coach Bruce Cassidy started during last year’s playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers. In a stunning move on Sunday afternoon, the Golden Knights fired Cassidy and replaced him with a former Cup winner in John Tortorella for the remainder of the season….

It's Time For Some Accountability
I have never met Bruce Cassidy, but people have said that he's a well-spoken, thoughtful man who would give insights to his decisions made while coaching. We can debate all day about his reluctance to name Logan Thompson the starter in Las Vegas, eventually leading to Thompson being traded to Washington where he's now 4-0 against his former team including stoning them in the shootout yesterday, prompting the reaction above. The knee-jerk reaction by Vegas to fire a coach who led the team to th...
Monday Musings: Oilers trending up, surprising playoff pushes and more
There are 18 days remaining in the NHL’s regular season. Two teams, Colorado and Dallas, have officially clinched playoff spots, while Carolina, Tampa Bay, Buffalo, Minnesota, Montreal and Anaheim are locks to get in. The Edmonton Oilers’ three-game winning streak, only their second of the season, has them in a very favourable position to get…

Oilers Thoughts: Matt Savoie is soaring, meeting Ty Emberson’s former coach on the Nation Vacation, Oilers’ struggling power play, and more
The Edmonton Oilers seem to be finding their mojo at just the right time down the stretch, and they need to keep that momentum going to secure a playoff spot and, despite the rollercoaster of a season, still have a chance to capture their first division title since the 1986-87 season. They’re riding a three-game…
Monday Mailbag: What are Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson bringing to the Oilers?
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing Leon Draisaitl’s injury, Tristan Jarry’s appearances, Matt Savoie’s scoring, and more. If you’ve got a question…
NHL weekend rankings: A stunning coaching change in Vegas shakes up the Pacific
Well, we didn’t see that one coming. Maybe we should have, given that the Vegas Golden Knights don’t exactly have a reputation as a patient franchise. They’ve spent every year of their existence as aspiring Cup contenders, and they’ve made it clear that failure isn’t an option. Given how much failing they’ve been doing this year, maybe we should have expected yesterday’s bombshell, with John Tortorella replacing Bruce Cassidy as head coach with just eight games left to play. What does it all m...

Sunday Scramble: Oilers building successful formula, how the NHL looks in a 3-2-1 standings format
“Look at us. Who would’ve thought? Not me,” said Paul Rudd, said Connor Ingram. The Edmonton Oilers netminder smiled ear to ear when he was interviewed by Tony Brar in-house after the 4-2 win over Anaheim on Saturday afternoon. Ingram held down the fort despite the Ducks’ furious attempt for their 26th comeback victory of the…
Friedman With A Curious Thought
I had a good chuckle when social media went off about Alexander Ovechkin taking his first defensive zone face-off ths season despite the Capitals having played 73 games this season. It's not like Ovechkin has ever been up for a Selke Award in his career, and I don't think anyone would put him on the ice in the dying seconds of a game while up a goal. His talents are scoring goals, not stopping them, but Elliotte Friedman's 32 Thoughts article published on Sportsnet's website yesterday got me t...
Oilers assistant GM Bill Scott interviews for vacant Predators GM job
Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager Bill Scott, known best for his lucky socks, has interviewed with the Nashville Predators for their vacant general manager’s job, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported. Scott joined the Oilers organization as the general manager of their AHL affiliate, the Oklahoma City Barons, for the 2010-11 season, spending four years there. He was…
The Day After 74.0: Oilers close gap in Pacific Division with regulation win over Ducks
For just the second time this season, the Oilers are on a three-game winning streak. This stretch has come at an ideal time for Edmonton. Their win in Vegas earlier this week kept them ahead of the Golden Knights in the Pacific Division standings, and Saturday’s win over the Ducks cut Anaheim’s lead for first…
How Matt Savoie is emerging into an impact player for the Oilers
Since the Olympic break, Connor McDavid has produced at an excellent rate of 3.19 points per hour at five-on-five, which is no surprise for him. But in that same stretch, the Oilers have a second forward sitting just behind at a rate of 3.17, and it’s not Leon Draisaitl, who has been out to injury…

Loveland Regional Notebook
Johnny Hicks did it again.Sure, he wasn't going to give up just a goal a game forever. He allowed three against Minnesota Duluth in last weekend's NCHC Tournament championship, and two Sunday against Western Michigan as Denver secured a Frozen Four spot.But the magic carpet ride continues for the 20-year freshman from British Columbia.He was Most Outstanding Player of both the NCHC Tournament and ...
Martone Inks Flyers Deal
Porter Martone, the sixth overall pick in last year's NHL Draft, has signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.Martone was among the wave of blue-chip former Major Junior players that came to the NCAA last summer, once the floodgates opened. His case was in a somewhat special category, given that he was signed after the draft, just like Providence's Roger McQueen.The Flyers...
Big Comeback Falls Short for UMD
Trailing 3-0 to top-seeded Michigan in the Albany Regional final, Minnesota Duluth found itself in a familiar position.It was just last weekend where UMD trailed Denver 3-0 in the first period of the NCHC Tournament. UMD eventually tied that game before Denver took home the championship in double-overtime.It was easy for the Bulldogs to turn to what they did in Denver and replicate that in Albany. ...
The Steamroller Hit a Bump, But Wasn't Stopped
Five periods into the NCAA Tournament, Michigan looked as if it was going to walk to the Frozen Four.The Wolverines took care of business against Bentley on Friday, 5-1, and held a commanding 3-0 lead after the second period on Sunday against Minnesota-Duluth. There appeared to be no stopping their season-long dominance.Then the Bulldogs came on and pushed Michigan to the brink, only to see the Wolverines...
This Time ... Dominance
The ongoing tale that is Denver and Western Michigan has been marked by tight games, drama, and overtimes. This was not one of those games.This time, with a ticket to the Frozen Four in Las Vegas on the line, it was the complete opposite; Denver came out guns blazing and set the sold-out crowd into a frenzy throughout with a 6-2 dominating win over the Broncos.The Pioneers jumped all over Western ...
Jackson Gets North Dakota Back to Frozen Four
All season North Dakota has been able to roll four lines, three rock solid defense pairs, and one of the best young netminders in the country.It is why the Fighting Hawks were the top-scoring team in the NCHC, why they earned back-to-back shutouts at this NCAA Regional, and why they are going to the Frozen Four for the first time in a decade.In a rematch of the 2016 national championship, where UND...
