Hockey Rambling

“Anything cool happening in the hockey world that would inspire me to write today?”  “The NHL is almost assuredly not starting in one month.”  “Okay, that’s depressing. Anything else?” “...no.” “Well, alrighty then.” I’m sorry you all had to suffer through that. But it’s part of the process as we enter month #3798 of the [...]

We have reached December without an agreement between the players and owners. Rather, it should be said that an agreement was reached but, just months after this agreement, the owners are trying to renege on it. (I really wish every news item was framed this way; there was an agreement in place, one agreed to [...]

I did see an interesting tweet from Eric Macramalla, who is a sports law professor that also [...]

Team Canada, currently in the World Junior bubble in Red Deer, Alberta, will all quarantine for 14 days following two positive tests on the roster. Those positive tests came after another positive test elsewhere in the organization a few days earlier. We will post more once more is known but that's all we have for [...]

We were dealt some... not so good news on Tuesday morning. As I settled into my desk chair with a cup of hot coffee this morning all set to watch Canada White vs Red at the WJC camp, word came down that the scrimmage and camp were on hold. The reason? Two positive COVID-19 tests [...]

Jake DeBrusk signed with the Bruins for two years with an AAV a little under $3.7M per season. His fantasy value in the upcoming season will depend on when the season actually begins. With both Marchand and Pastrnak out of the lineup on a January 1st start, DeBrusk could see a lot of top minutes. [...]
