There aren’t too many teams that I would be keen to roster three players from. Stacking mates is often a recipe for feast or famine, and come time for fantasy hockey playoffs, an ill-timed famine can be the death of a squad. That said, the Bruins and Panthers, who met on Thursday evening, [...]

By Michael Clifford|2019-03-07T09:28:55-05:00March 7th, 2019|Hockey Rambling|

The Flyers expect Carter Hart to have a full practice Thursday after going through a vigorous on-ice workout on Wednesday. Philadelphia only has one game in the next four days so there will be a couple more opportunities for Hart to get himself where he needs to be to get back into games. This [...]

The Canes and Bruins met on Tuesday with both teams salivating over the two points. The Hurricanes are trying to stay up on the Wild Card teams, while the Bruins attempt to keep a leg up on the charging Maple Leafs. Sebastian Aho scored the first two goals of this game bringing his season [...]

I’m sure most reading this has heard the news already, but it was learned Monday morning that Ted Lindsay, Hall of Famer and Detroit Red Wings legend, had passed away at the age of 93. For his career, Lindsay accumulated 851 points in 1068 games, was a 9-time All-Star, won the scoring race in [...]

Ramblings: Jake Gardiner Injury; Blues/Devils Updates; Granlund-Fiala Trade – February 28

By Michael Clifford|2019-02-28T09:56:35-05:00February 28th, 2019|Hockey Rambling|

Jake Gardiner missed Wednesday night’s game with back problems and is considered week-to-week right now. Igor Ozhiganov drew into the lineup. As a small aside: one injury to one of their Big Four of Gardiner/Rielly/Muzzin/Dermott leads to the Leafs trotting out Hainsey/Zaitsev/Ozhiganov on the right side of their defence. It shows the fragility of [...]
