By |2023-02-17T01:49:55-05:00February 17th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

Sergei Bobrovsky seems to be at a point where he can be relied upon again. The Panthers goalie picked up 29 saves in a 6-3 win over Washington. If not for a late third-period power-play goal, Bob would have had his fifth consecutive quality start. However, he also has wins in four of his last [...]

A Jakob Chychrun trade might be forthcoming, although it didn’t happen on Saturday night. Chychrun was made a healthy scratch by the Coyotes for “trade-related reasons.” Not long after the game start in the HNIC second-intermission 32 Thoughts, Jeff Marek stated that a trade was not imminent with any of the Oilers, Maple Leafs, or [...]

By |2023-02-11T01:26:35-05:00February 11th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

Vladimir Tarasenko needed very little time to make an impact with the Rangers, scoring a goal just 2:49 into his Rangers debut. Tarasenko finished with two shots in just under 13 minutes of icetime, but more importantly he seemed to click on a new loaded top line with Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad. This seems [...]

After not being qualified by the rebuilding Blackhawks, Strome was able to leverage a one-year “show me” $3.5 million deal with the Capitals into something more secure. With the Capitals [...]

If you’re into the All-Star Game itself or the skills competition or any of the other festivities, enjoy. If anything All-Star is not your bag, then use the time to [...]

Prior to January, DeBrincat was a point-per-game player (36 points in 36 games). Fortunately, DeBrincat scored a goal on Saturday and had also recorded an assist that appeared to be taken away later.
