Kevin Hayes will be having core surgery. At present time, he doesn’t appear likely to miss training camp, which is obviously very good news for the Flyers. He is a key piece of this team with him and Couturier being a 1-2 punch down the middle. Anyway: https://twitter.com/BroadStBull/status/1394329729390555137 As we have seen from players in [...]
The NHL released the full playoff schedule, though some times need to be filled in. Many of the American series are starting this weekend but Canada won’t start until next week, as will Carolina and St. Louis. The full schedule can be viewed here. It will be interesting to see how they navigate the start [...]
Henrik Borgström signed a two-year extension with the Chicago Blackhawks, carrying a cap hit of $1M per season. He was traded to the Blackhawks as part of the Brett Connolly cap dump from the Panthers, as it was clear the team was ready to move on from The Borg. Where his future goes, who knows. [...]
It was locker cleaning day in Buffalo, and whew baby, a lot of tough quotes from some of the Sabres vets. It was a tough year from all the losses to COVID to losing Eichel to trading Hall, so it’s little wonder we got some great quotes at locker cleanout. First, from Sam Reinhart, who [...]
Alex Newhook made his debut for the Avs on Wednesday, playing down the lineup. The Avs are deep enough that I don’t expect he’ll crack the regular playoff lineup without injury, but we’ll see how this shakes out. It is always nice having a bevy of options to turn to, and Newhook tore up the [...]
Tom Wilson was fined $5000 by the league for his actions in the game against the Rangers on Monday night. It is the maximum allowed under the current CBA. This is the second extra bit of punishment handed down to Wilson this year, as he had a seven-game suspension. I know it seems like nothing [...]
After months of rehab from his hip surgery, Tyler Seguin made his season’s debut for the Stars on Monday night. He started the game on the fourth line but we know how these things can go. There was a good article over at The Athletic written by Saad Yousuf about Seguin’s road to recovery. It [...]
Taking doctor’s orders under advisement, Andrew Shaw has decided to retire from hockey. Shaw leaves hockey at the age of 29, having won two Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks and posting 116 goals and 131 assists. The concussions have caught up and he is thinking about his future and not his present. When he was [...]
Best-ball leagues are something I have talked a lot about here, especially before this season started. Basically, they are leagues where there is no trading, waivers, or injured reserve. You draft a team of, say, 20 players, and the 10 best players count towards final standings. Most points win. These are popular in football and [...]
The Oilers got back a big reinforcement in the form of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. He had been out of the lineup with a suspected concussion but seems good to go now. That is huge for the Oilers, as this is not a deep team, and at least RNH back in the lineup gives them the semblance [...]
