It is Thursday once again, so let’s find some winning NHL props. There are a pair of game fives on the schedule tonight, the New Jersey Devils vs Carolina Hurricanes and the Seattle Kraken vs Dallas Stars, both have seen some big blowouts. I’ve taken my time to carefully look over both matchups tonight, and [...]
There’s no way I could write a hockey article this week and ignore the NHL draft lottery: I’m not a fan. Let’s bring back the “live” option, 1000 labeled ping pong balls, a barrel, and a blindfolded celebrity. This “We’ll do the actual drawing in a closed room - just 14 balls and complex mathematical [...]
Now that they have the privilege of drafting Connor Bedard first overall, the Chicago Blackhawks have to go about actually building the rest of the team. It might seem a bit obvious, but we don’t need to look very far in history, or just at the present, for the teams of generational talents to not [...]
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]

Buffalo Sabres – Casey Mittelstadt During an exciting season in which Buffalo narrowly missed the playoffs, we saw many strong individual performances from the Sabres. The top trio of Alex Tuch, Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner thrived, with each player [...]
The most hyped NHL Draft in years, headlined by one of the most hyped players in years, had its Draft Lottery on Monday night. The winner would get the right to draft Connor Bedard first overall next month and potentially change the direction of their franchise for years. General managers were all-out tanking for this [...]
In this week's The Wild West, we'll look at the heroes and zeroes from each team in round one. Brennan Des had a look at the Eastern Conference last week so we’re going to look at the West this week. Enjoy the rest of the second round! Colorado Avalanche Hero: Mikko Rantanen I’m not sure [...]
One of the strange things about the increase in scoring this past season is that the list of disappointing defensemen isn't as plentiful as a list of disappointing forwards. Anyone putting together a list of disappointing forwards should easily come up with 20 players (Calgary alone would probably net half a dozen). But most of [...]
