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...

I Forgot About Marty
Marty McSorley isn't a player that one forgets about thanks to his impact on the game when he played. The 62 year-old enforcer was a decent defenceman who was known more for throwing knuckles than making crisp passes, but he was memorable. Whether it was the illegal stick in the 1993 Stanley Cup Final or the stick-swinging incident against the Vancouver Canucks, McSorley may also be remembered for the major mistakes he made while playing the game. One of the things that I forgot, though, was t...

Wisconsin Finds a Way; Reaches First Frozen Four Since 2010
With five minutes left in regulation and Wisconsin down by two goals, hope was fading.But not for the Badgers.Just five minutes and two goals separated the Badgers from their first Frozen Four appearance in 16 years. It has been 20 years since they won a national championship. And much like this season, the past two decades have been filled with ups and downs, big wins and some bad losses, not to ...

Even without top-line center Charlie Stramel, who broke his ankle blocking a shot in the first period and exited after just four shifts, the lead felt secure...

The Lakers won four regular-season and three conference tournament championships in their history, but had hit difficult times lately.
