The NHL started the day by cancelled all morning skates, given the COVID-19 pandemic that has spread globally, and the NBA’s suspension of its season on Wednesday night. The writing was on the wall: college games are being cancelled, NBA games suspended, mass gathering outlawed, people getting sick seemingly in real time on television, and [...]
Andre Burakovsky, Matt Calvert, Nazem Kadri, and Philip Grubauer were all skating before Colorado’s practice on Wednesday. That’s a good sign, but it’s obvious there’s still a little ways to go before that quartet returns to action. Nathan MacKinnon was not skating with the team, either before or during practice, and is expected to miss [...]
The big news from Monday is that the four major North American sports currently playing their regular season or ramping up to their regular season, including the NHL, are temporarily barring reporters from entering the dressing rooms post-practice or game over fears of COVID-19 transmission. It's probably not the last we've heard from the major [...]
Both Andre Burakovsky and Cale Makar were out of the lineup for Colorado on Wednesday night. The team seems to think Makar is closer to returning than Burakovsky is. On the bright side (I think?), Gabriel Landeskog was able to play with a broken nose. I know a lot of teams are going through injuries, [...]
Well, we’ve reached that time of year: head-to-head playoffs. Some may have already started, some may have yet to start, but March, in the fantasy hockey world is H2H month. Just wanted to see one thing: I thoroughly enjoy H2H leagues. I know sometimes they get downplayed outside of fantasy football due to the randomness, [...]
Bad news for Columbus forward Josh Anderson as it appears his season is over as he heads under the knife for shoulder surgery. Nothing is confirmed yet but this is the report coming out from TSN’s Darren Dreger, with the report somewhat confirmed by Jackets beat writer Aaron Portzline. Anderson is legitimately one of my [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Jake Muzzin will miss close to month with a broken hand. With Morgan Rielly already out of the lineup, there are a lot of significant minutes up for grabs. Calle Rosen was called up to fill the roster hole. In the game Muzzin was injured, Justin Holl played over 25 [...]
While most of the news on Monday was for trades, we did get an update that Igor Shesterkin and Pavel Buchnevich were involved in a car accident. Neither has significant injuries, though Shesterkin is said to have fractured ribs. The team said he’ll be reassessed in a couple weeks. Buchnevich is considered day-to-day for now. [...]
Ottawa was on an absolute tear trying to trade everything that wasn’t nailed down for the second season in a row. This particular deal saw Tyler Ennis traded to Edmonton for a fifth-round pick next year. Following a few down/injured years in Buffalo, Minnesota, and Toronto, Ennis has rebounded nicely this year in Ottawa with [...]
With the way the season has gone, it was obvious that San Jose would be sellers heading into the deadline. They’d had a couple guys already be shipped out when their biggest deal of the day came down: Barclay Goodrow was traded to Tampa Bay, along with a third-round pick this year, in exchange for [...]
