Hockey Rambling

Happy Leap Year Day! If you’ve bucked the odds and were born on this day, I hope you celebrate like it’s nobody’s business. It’s good to be back writing after taking last weekend off. Writing the Ramblings on weekends means that I don’t get out as often as I used to, and that can include [...]

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.

Let’s start with the big news of the day. Playing the Devils, Alexander Ovechkin scored his 700th NHL goal. I remember a few years back when [...]

The big news from Friday was Boston’s acquisition of Ondrej Kase from Anaheim. That team has been looking to adequately fill its second-line right wing spot for years now and no one has really been able to make a lasting impact, Kase might be that guy. You can read Ian’s take on the Kase trade [...]

If you’ve been on the Frozen Tools Report Generator over the past few days, you might have noticed a new report called “Draisaitl Hat Tricks.” If you don’t follow me on Twitter, then you might be asking what on earth a Leon Draisaitl hat trick would be. That’s what I’m here to explain. You know [...]

The Leafs announced winger Andreas Johnsson will be out for the rest of the season with a knee surgery. The timeline is officially six months, so I guess if the Leafs were somehow to get to the Cup Final and Johnsson were a few weeks ahead of schedule, maybe he comes back. In all likelihood, [...]
