Winning In Kazan?

Consider me surprised when I read the news of Kevin Hayes signing in the KHL with Ak Bars Kazan. I would have never guessed that Hayes, who has represented the United States on the ice, would look to Russia for his next contract, but the 34 year-old forward will make the hump after signing a one-year deal. Of course, the image to the left isn't what you'd expect to see on a hockey blog, but that would be Kevin Hayes on July 16, 2023 when he married his wife, Katya Vasilyev, while a member of t...

Do the Edmonton Oilers possess the winning formula for a Stanley Cup?

The Winning Formula. It’s an oft-used expression and something that every professional sports franchise is chasing. But what is the “winning formula” in the NHL? If it were as easy as applying a template, surely one of the great hockey minds out there would have solved it by now. While some sportswriter isn’t going to…

A Short Road Trip

I won't be doing much on the hockey front today thanks to being in a vehicle for eight hours, but that's life when it comes to work responsibilities. I have a scheduled visit with a branch I never get to see enough, so I'll be working the next few days out of town as I try to get all of their technological issues solved. That being said, I felt like I was an F-Zero racer from the classic SNES game while driving in my new vehicle with all its bells and whistles, so the drive today was pretty co...

Bigger, But Not Better

With the NHL already pushing a 33rd team in Houston and Wednesday's news that an NHL-sized rink will be built in Atlanta , those two locations will be the next NHL cities regardless of who likes it and who doesn't. Those two television markets are ones that the NHL has coveted for a long time, and we're already seen one Gary Bettman-led expansion in Atlanta fail under his watch. The NHL has a balanced schedule with four eight-team divisions that work well when it comes to playoffs and drafting...

Why Evan Bouchard’s contract makes him more valuable than Cale Makar

Evan Bouchard keeps getting robbed. The Edmonton Oilers defenceman was easily the best point-producing blueliner in 2025-26, yet didn’t even win the Norris Trophy. In fact, he didn’t even finish as a finalist. Instead, Cale Makar finished second in voting, despite finishing with 16 fewer points. Bouchard was pretty clearly robbed of recognition he deserved….

The Red-And-Gold Standard

We've known that the RSEQ women's hockey conference was growing by two teams this season for some time as both Laval and Sherbrooke were joining the fun. Just like with any expansion hockey team, there will be a lot of firsts, an even greater amount of hope, and a few bumps in the road along the way when it comes to the inuagural season, but it seems one of those Quebec universities is trying to get ahead of the curve with an outstanding setup for their locker room. If Laval puts this kind of ...

Big Signing Goes Down

Oilers fans are hoping this isn't going to be a common occurrence, but goaltender Frederik Andersen will start the season on the shelf after being injured during an off-season training session. He'll be joined by defenceman Alec Regula and forwards Mattias Janmark and Matt Savoie as players who miss training camp with injuries, but that one-year, $2.8-million contract that Andersen signed to stabilize Edmonton's goaltending will be tested in October as the Oilers are forced to start the season...
