In what was the easiest case of couch analysis this year, Dustin Byfuglien has been moved to the injured reserve with a concussion. Anyone who watched the game or saw the replay saw what this was but he was still inexplicably allowed to play hockey. Anyway, we know that concussion timelines are tricky so [...]
The long-awaited return of Auston Matthews came Wednesday night. He was just waiting to be cleared medically, which he was, and he was in the Toronto lineup for the first time in 17 games. * Kevan Miller took a puck to the throat in the team’s game Monday night. Official word came down Wednesday [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers have fired general manager Ron Hextall. Hextall was hired in the 2014 offseason, so he’s been there for four full seasons. In those four years, the team averaged 91.5 points, earning two playoff appearances and zero playoff round wins. There is a lot of good young talent on this team with [...]
There was a welcome sight at Tampa’s gameday skate as Ondrej Palat joined the team. While he didn’t play in the game, it appears it’ll be just a matter of days before he returns. The real question is what they do to the lineup. Going into Sunday’s game, the Lightning had scored four of [...]
The Arizona Coyotes activated, and started, goaltender Antti Raanta on Friday. He had missed three weeks with a lower-body injury. Not a moment too soon, either, as the Coyotes had gone just 2-4-2 with Raanta out of the lineup, allowing 27 goals in those eight contests. Raanta has a .930 save percentage in 55 [...]
The big news from Wednesday was the trade of winger Carl Hagelin from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles in exchange for winger Tanner Pearson. Those two players have combined for one (1) goal this year between them. The former is a UFA after this season while the latter has two more years with an AAV [...]
Remember Team North America? It feels like a lifetime ago, and I was skeptical about it at first, but that team remains one of the most exciting teams I’ve ever watched. Anyway, we got a timeline on the 2020 World Cup of Hockey: Daly said NHL and NHLPA are talking about the CBA [...]
There is a lot, and I mean a lot, to get to so let’s not waste time. Tampa Bay, and fantasy owners, will be without the services of Ondrej Palat for about a month as an update was given on his lower-body injury. The second line is humming along just fine without him [...]
The Edmonton Oilers will retain the services of Milan Lucic as the forward was fined, not suspended, for his, let’s call it “play,” on Tampa Bay’s Mathieu Joseph on Tuesday night. If you’re in a league with hits and PIMs, Lucic won’t miss a minute. If you’re in a league without hits and PIMs, [...]
In a surprising move, the Chicago Blackhawks fired coach Joel Quenneville on Tuesday morning. The team missed the playoffs in 2017-18 and had started this season with a 6-6-3 record. Quenneville won three Stanley Cups with the franchise and is the second-most winningest coach behind only Scotty Bowman. A pretty impressive record. Jeremy Colliton, [...]
