After his hit on Will Carrier in Game 1, it was kind of up in the air as to whether or not Drew Doughty would hear from the Department of Player Safety. Not only did he hear from them, but Doughty was suspended one game, I think to the surprise of many. Not necessarily that [...]
I’m sure much of the hockey world was looking forward to the Flyers/Penguins series. Anyone following hockey for the last 10 years or so would vividly remember the 2012 series which featured goals and fights to the heart’s content. Game 1 wasn’t so much a playoff game as it was a public execution. Pittsburgh skated [...]
One report early on Monday morning had Ilya Kovalchuk signing with the New York Rangers for anywhere around two or three years. He has expressly made his desire to return to the NHL previously known so it’s a matter of where he lands, not if he leaves the KHL. A lot of people are going [...]
It’s only fitting that on the night Daniel and Henrik Sedin played their final game at home in Vancouver, Roberto Luongo played the 1000th game of his career. Those three players are largely responsible for the most prosperous time of this franchise since the early 90s, and those three players are among the best at [...]
Fantasy owners got a little scare the other night when Alex Ovechkin went crashing hard into the boards and was slow to get off the ice. He took a maintenance on Wednesday and there’s no certainty he’ll play on Thursday. With playoffs, and playoff drafts, a week away, fantasy owners have to keep this nagging [...]
The big news from Monday was the announcement by Henrik and Daniel Sedin that they would be retiring from the NHL at season’s end. Both players will leave the NHL, barring something wacky over the final week, with 0.80 points per game in the regular season. The plaudits and stories told Monday were mostly of [...]
For as well as the Bruins have been playing, it’s easy to forget that they still have a bevy of players out of the lineup. We have some good news for Boston fans as the injured players look to be returning soon. At the least, it looks like Jake DeBrusk will be back Saturday afternoon [...]
Though it was probably assumed by fantasy hockey owners at this point, we got confirmation on Tuesday afternoon that Kevin Shattenkirk wouldn’t be returning this season. Not that we should worry about a huge decline but next year will be Shatty’s age-30 season. On a rebuilding team, what can we expect from him? His ADP [...]
Vladimir Tarasenko returned to the lineup for St. Louis after missing the last couple of games with an upper-body injury. At least head-to-head fantasy owners will get him for this weekend and heading into next week. For those that needed all of his games this week, well, sorry about that. He wouldn’t specify what the [...]
Dylan Strome was recalled by the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday. They have three games remaining this week, all on the road, in Buffalo, Carolina, and Florida. You can read his Dobber Prospects profile here. The third overall pick from 2015 started the season with the big club but was sent to the AHL after just [...]
