Let’s start this off with some news (bad if you’re a Bruins’ fan, good if you’re from Missouri). Zdeno Chara has a broken jaw. Now, players have slapped on a full cage and played with a broken jaw before. And they’ll do it again. But not usually two days after it happens. With [...]
Another night without hockey. We better get used to this. Fortunately, there remains plenty to talk about. The Mitch Marner contract negotiations jumped to the forefront on Tuesday when Darren Drager was on TSN1050 and said he expects Marner’s camp to take the negotiations beyond July 1st. He also expects Marner to visit [...]
The Ottawa Senators have found their bench boss. After an extensive search, the Canadian club has decided to give former Maple Leafs' assistant, D.J. Smith hist first shot to be the man behind the bench. He's signed for three seasons. Smith has spent the last four seasons in Toronto where he ran the team's [...]
It’s happening. A Ramblings day without a hockey game to ramble about. The surest sign that the offseason is just a whisper away. This allows some more freedom on topics but nights without hockey are like meals without meat for a carnivore – it’s doable, and even a healthy, but something is definitely missing. [...]
Get your brooms out Bruins’ fans, because the sweep has been completed. By now, most of you have heard the whispers of a magical sweep curse that has been transmitted via the handshake at the end of several series. The Penguins gave it to the Islanders, who passed it on to the Hurricanes. [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Buffalo Sabres have found their head coach. After an extended search with all the big name players rumoured, the Sabres went a different direction, hiring international sensation, Ralph Krueger. Krueger, who was Switzerland’s national coach from 1998 to 2010, has just 48 games of experience as a head coach in the NHL. [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, Tuukka Rask. The Bs netminder has been spectacular this spring and especially against the Hurricanes. He kept that going in game three of the Eastern Conference final on Tuesday evening. Those Bunch of Jerks came home knowing that a series doesn’t truly get going until one squad loses on home ice. [...]
The first game seven of the second-round culminated on Tuesday evening in Missouri. And I'll be frank, it was almost exclusively the Blues dictating play and Ben Bishop accepting the pepper with a spicy smile. Vince Dunn got things going in the first frame with a seeing-eye wrister from the point to [...]
It's the greatest day of the year. Seventh game great. Tuesday evening featured four clubs playing for their lives and that always brings the best/worst out of each player. Some rise to the occasion, others crumble under the pressure. As someone without a rooting interest, it's a very pleasurable experience. For all of you [...]
Artemi Panarin celebrates The brooms were out in full force in Columbus on Tuesday evening. Well, not actually as the arena [...]
