While I was checking the schedule last week, I found it odd that the Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators were playing a home and home against each other only to find out it was the Global Series. I had no clue it was happening and honestly neither did any friends of mine. This isn’t a [...]
This week, we will examine potential 2026 Olympians from Western Teams. Some of these players are long listed, but others are locks. This will be the first time that the NHL has players at the Olympics since 2014. Russia is not in the Olympics. Here are the 12 countries that will be there: Finland Slovakia [...]
In fantasy hockey, it’s generally impossible to acquire proven stars via trade without giving up meaningful assets of your own, but the waiver wire is a different breed. Indeed, when utilized effectively, the wire can be a goldmine – somewhere managers catch lightning in a bottle for free. Since league sizes and settings vary, the [...]
Quick bit of player news before getting into tonight’s games.

Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. Watching prospects live adds layers that numbers alone cannot always capture. This week, I attended a WHL matchup to get an in-person look at several notable young players, not just to [...]
