The 2023 NHL Draft Saw Some HUGE WINNERS…And A MASSIVE LOSER
What a night it was for the top-end of the draft…unless you’re from a certain Quebec province of Canada. The 2023 NHL Draft was one of the most deep and prosperous drafts we’ve seen in the last 15 years with star quality players landing deep into the first round…for everyone but the Montreal Canadiens. I
NHL Awards Were DOMINATED By Bruins, Connor McDavid…And Awkwardness
Did anyone really expect anything different? The 2023 NHL Awards where awkward and disjointed in classic hockey players fashion as the Boston Bruins and Connor McDavid pretty much swept all the categories. I don’t mean to sound like a jerk or anything, but there’s really no set of athletes in the world more awkward in
Bruins Make HUGE MOVE By Trading Hall To Blackhawks
The wheels of change are coming for the Bruins after their disastrous elimination. The Boston Bruins have made the first massive move of their offseason to date as they traded away Taylor Hall to the Blackhawks to clear up $6M in cap space. This really isn’t a big move in terms of the pieces coming
THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS, DESTROY PANTHERS 9-3 In GM. 5
That was an almighty thumping. The Las Vegas Golden Knights have made their owner Bill Foley’s 6-year cup prediction come true as they utterly, totally demolished the Florida Panthers 9-3 in Game 5 to win the series 4-1 and clinch the franchise’s first ever Stanley Cup. What a way to win Lord Stanley’s cup. The
Golden Knights SURVIVE Panthers Near-Comeback, Take 3-1 Series Lead
This was the Stanley Cup defining game. The Vegas Golden Knights now sit a single win away from being Stanley Cup champions as they managed to survive a light Panthers fury 3-2 to take a 3-1 series lead. What a fantastic performance by both teams. The Vegas Golden Knights are now on the verge of
The Panthers FINALLY Win A SC Finals Game, Claw Back Series 2-1
It’s about time the Panthers fans could finally won a Stanley Cup Finals game. The Florida Panthers NARROWLY avoided the catastrophic 0-3 deficit to the Vegas Golden Knights as they scored a late game-tying goal and a fluky overtime winner to claw back 2-1 in the series. Patrick Roy would have been fuming if he
The Golden Knights EXTERMINATED The Panthers 7-2, Take A Commanding 2-0 Lead
This series is going to end in a sweep if it continues this way. The Vegas Golden Knights utterly thrashed and torn apart the Panthers by thumping them for 7 goals, giving LV a 2-0 series lead and the chance to win the cup in Florida. The Panthers really are allergic to winning Stanley Cup
The Golden Knights WIN Game 1, Lead SC Finals 1-0
That was a masterclass in how to win a hockey game in a period. The Vegas Golden Knights have taken the first step towards winning their first ever Stanley Cup as they humbled the Florida Panthers 5-2 to take a 1-0 series lead. So, the way to beat the Florida Panthers was to…be a better,
Panthers COMPLETE THE SWEEP, Reach First Stanley Cup Finals Since 1996!
THE PANTHERS ARE HEADING BACK TO THE STANLEY CUP FINALS! The Florida Panthers have added more magic to this Cinderella playoff run as they scored a literal last-second series-winning goal to not only complete the sweep over the Hurricanes, but also cement their place in the Stanley Cup Finals! This might very well be one
Panthers Vs. Hurricanes: AN ALL-TIME EPIC CLASSIC
It wouldn’t surprise me if those players didn’t get out of bed this morning after that game. The Florida Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes just played out one of the longest, most epic playoff games in NHL history as the Panthers scored a 4th-OT winner to snatch Game 1. How do the Hurricanes recover from
The Panthers FINALLY KNOCK OFF Maple Leafs, Move On To Round 3!
The Maple Leafs finally put in a good fight, but it was too little too late. The Florida Panthers have broken their 27-year Conference Finals curse as they beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in OT in Game 5 to win the series and finally reach the Conference Finals. Man, it was really funny watching
The NHL Draft Lottery SUCKS!!!
It’s honestly the worst lottery I’ve ever seen. The NHL Draft lottery once again played out in the most predictable, boring, and unimaginative way possible as only the Chicago Blackhawks moved up two spots from the 16 possible teams in the lottery. The NHL should honestly abandon the lottery all together with how predictable it
Maple Leafs Are Really Being Found Out Now, Down 3-0 In Series To Panthers
This team really never does fail to disappoint…for every other NHL fanbase, that is. The Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 OT loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 3 all but cements their Stanley Cup hopes as they now face the dreaded 3-0 deficit. I really didn’t expect to take back almost every good thing I
The Florida Panthers Are SUPER DANGEROUS, Win GM. 1 Vs. Maple Leafs
If you didn’t know this by now, the Panthers are legit SC contenders. The Florida Panthers picked up right where they left off against the Bruins as they went into Toronto and shocked the Maple Leafs 4-2 to win Game 1. If anyone thought the Panthers weren’t for real after that Bruins series, think again.
NHL Playoffs: HUGE UPSETS As Both Kraken & Panthers Win, Advance To Round 2
What a night for upsets, bracket breaking, and really unhappy betters. The NHL playoffs once again showed why it is the best playoff in North American sports as the Seattle Kraken and the Florida Panthers completed MASSIVE UPSET victories to advance to the Second Round. This is definitely not a year for the frontrunners. In
The Toronto Maple Leafs Have Finally Done It…THEY’VE WON A PLAYOFF SERIES!
I can’t believe I’m actually writing this article. After 19 years and 7 straight First Round exits, the Toronto Maple Leafs have finally expelled their playoff demons as they WON GM. 6 2-1 over the Lightning, clinching their first series win since 2004. There must have been an earthquake in Toronto from all those celebrations.
Panthers Win INSTANT CLASSIC Over Bruins, Send Series To Game 7
That’s how you keep your season alive. The Florida Panthers and the Boston Bruins put on one of the all-time classic playoff games as the Panthers won 7-5 to tie the series 3-3 and force a high-stakes Game 7. Now matter what happens next, the effort of the Florida Panthers has put on display deserves
Wow, The Maple Leafs Proved They’re For Real After 7-2 GM. 2 Win…Right?
Yeah, I wouldn’t be so sure. The Toronto Maple Leafs absolutely destroyed a badly depleted Tampa Bay Lighting team 7-2 to tie the series and prevent disaster, but is this result really indicative of the Leafs’ potential? If you couldn’t tell by the intro, I’m not so sure this loss is all that reflective of
The Bruins Are In A HUGE DOG-FIGHT With Panthers, Humiliated 6-3 In GM 2
That was an utter trouncing. The Boston Bruins learned playoff hockey is totally different to regular season hockey as the Florida Panthers tied the series 1-1 with one of the most convincing wins seen in the playoffs so far. The B’s just found out winning 65 regular season games, the most any team in NHL
Maple Leafs Doing Maple Leafs Things AGAIN…Lose 7-3 To TBL In GM 1
This is just too funny for me to take seriously anymore. The Toronto Maple Leafs started their highly promising Stanley Cup playoff run with…a 7-3 home loss to the reigning Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay Lighting. I would’ve started this article out wondering if this Maple Leafs team will ever learn its lesson, but it’s
NHL Playoffs: Opening Night Was ELECTRIC!
What a start to the NHL playoffs! The NHL Playoffs kicked off last night and it was one of the most exciting opening nights I can remember as there were numerous upsets, vicious battles, and even a double OT thriller. This is why the NHL is truly one of the most exciting sports. The NHL
The Bruins BREAK ALL-TIME WINS RECORD With 63rd Win, Beat Flyers 5-3
This really is one of the greatest single-season teams of all-time. Despite being undermanned, the Boston Bruins overcame a relentless Flyers team 5-3 to break the all-time wins record with their 63rd win of the season. What a remarkable season this has been. Not only have the Bruins blown away every franchise record for points
Will The Bruins Actually Break NHL Wins And Points Record?!?
Uh, I think so…well, partly. The Boston Bruins just set another NHL record for being the 4th team in history to reach 60 wins, but will they be able to set the all-time points and wins record? Obviously, this is the greatest single-season regular season any Boston Bruins fan has ever seen, let alone one
NHL Signs 10-Year Jersey Deal With Fanatics…For Some Strange Reason
I didn’t realize the NHL wanted to see team logos falling off the players jersey’s mid game. The NHL and Adidas have ended their lucrative jersey agreement as the NHL has moved on with Fanatics, the longtime E-Commerce partner of the league. Is the NHL trying to intentionally annoy its customers and fans? For those
Bruins Make NHL History As Fastest Team To 50 Wins!
I’ve got to be honest, I’d never have picked this team to do it at the start of the season. The Boston Bruins have added more historical significance to their fantastic season as they have become the fastest team to reach 50 wins in a season. I don’t think there’s ever been such a unique
The NHL Needs To DROP ESPN Deal ASAP!
How much disrespect can the league take from its primary US broadcast partner? In addition to hardly broadcasting or covering the NHL, ESPN’s flagships shows and main talking heads are now openly disparaging the league on live TV. I guess we all should have expected this poor coverage when three of ESPN’s most prominent talking
The NHL Trade Deadline Day Was Predictably Boring
There was only so many moves the teams could have made today after days of craziness. The NHL Trade Deadline Day was very boring as all the teams made their crazy, hysterical moves over the last few days, leaving today to be filled with minor additions and cap maneuvering. As a fan of the NHL,
Bruins Add EVEN MORE FIREPOWER With Red Wings Trade For Bertuzzi
This is definitely a do-or-die season for Boston. The Boston Bruins have shelled out another 1st round pick to the Detroit Red Wings for Tyler Bertuzzi as the time to win one last Stanely Cup is clearly now. I think we all knew that this was the last season the Bruins had a chance of
The NHL Trade Deadline Week Has Had Good, Bad, And Downright Ugly Moves…
Some of these moves really make me question how these GMs have gotten their jobs. The NHL trade deadline week has inspired the GMs from all around the league to embrace their inner The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly characters with the moves they pulled off. Who doesn’t love The Good, The Bad, And
The Maple Leafs Are Going ALL IN This Season
Who needs draft capital when you can get Erik Gustafsson and Jake McCabe, right? The Toronto Maple Leafs are really sinking all of their chips into the playoffs this year as they have hollowed out their draft haul for rentals and aging veterans to finally make it out of the first round. Could Maple Leafs
How Did I Miss Ryan O’Rielly Getting Traded Toronto In Huge 3-Team Trade?
Of course, I’d miss the biggest NHL trade of the season yet. Somehow, I completely missed Ryan O’Rielly getting dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a huge three-team trade that completely shakes up the Eastern Conference. I can’t believe I went a whole week without knowing about the biggest trade in the NHL. In
Bruins EMPTY OUT Draft Haul For One Last Cup Run With Capitals’ Orlov, Hathaway Trade
Wow, this trade couldn’t have happened at a better time. The Boston Bruins have traded away Craig Smith and three draft picks in exchange for the Capitals’ Orlov and Hathaway, further proving that this is their “Last Dance” at the Cup. I must be a fortune teller or something. Literally less than a half hour
NHL All-Star Game Is EVEN WORSE Than The Pro Bowl!
This is by far the worst all-star iteration across the four major North American sports. The NHL All-Star game is just around the corner, and I don’t think there’s one person who is excited for this abomination of an event. The NHL all-star game is simply the worst all-star game that has ever been thought
Red Wings Need To Sell At Deadline To Keep Rebuild Operational
Everyone must be subject to review if Detroit wants to return to the glory days. With the Red Wings looking likely to miss out on the playoffs for a 6th straight season, selling some of the veteran players on expiring deals for draft capital is the only way to keep the rebuild afloat. This has
The Panthers Early Season Stuggles Serves Them Right For Tearing Up Their Core
The Panthers organization is obsessed with shooting themselves in the foot. Coming off the most successful season in franchise history, the Florida Panthers decided to follow that up by trading away key pieces of their core and now find themselves 10 points adrift from the playoffs. Is there a team in the NHL that is
The Bruins Just Don’t Know How To Lose…Can That Actually Last?
AndThere hasn’t been a team in NHL history to win as consistently at this stage of the season like this Boston team. In a trademark late fashion, the Boston Bruins continued their unprecedented and frankly unsustainable winning run as they beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 in the Winter Classic. There aren’t many superlatives I can
The Early Disappoint NHL Team Award Goes To…The Ottawa Senators!
What a disappointment this team has been after the offseason they had. The Ottawa Senators have gotten off to a horrific start to their season as they currently sit in last place in the Atlantic Division, and only two points above being the worst team in the entire NHL. What a dreadful season it has
Bruins Make NHL History With Carolina Win
The Bruins sensational start to the season has now become historic. The Boston Bruins have made NHL history as they are the first team ever to win their opening 12 home games as they beat the Hurricanes 3-2 in OT. The Bruins season just keeps getting better and better. Not only are they still the
Are The Bruins Crazy? Are They Trying To Ruin Their Season
Don Sweeny and Cam Neely might be the biggest idiots ever! The Boston Bruins have put their reputation on the line as they signed Mitchell Miller, a 2020 draft pick who ruthlessly bullied and abused a fellow classmate with mental disabilities. Do Don Sweeny and Cam Neely want to get fired? How STUPID are these
It’s Official: Senators Are Getting Sold
The fallout from the death of Eugene Melnyk was always going to lead to this end. The family of the late Eugene Melnyk has announced that they are selling the Ottawa Senators, though they will demand that team stays in Canada. Even though Eugene Melnyk and the Ottawa Senators fans relationship spiraled into a place
The Bruins Are Actually A Force Again…For Now
Would you look at that: Boston actually looks to be pretty good this year. The Boston Bruins have shattered most pessimists’ expectations of them as they have gotten off to a great 7-1 start, the best record in all of the NHL. I’ve got to say this upfront…I was really wrong about the Boston Bruins.
Rangers, Golden Knights Get Revenge In NHL Opening Night
These two teams would have wanted to win last season, but they’ll have to be content with their wins last night. The New York Rangers and the Vegas Golden Knights got their revenge for last season’s disappointments as they kicked off the 2022/23 NHL season. I’m a little surprised that the Colorado Avalanche and the
Zdeno Chara Official Retires, Will Do It With Bruins
The 6’9 legend has finally called it a career on the ice. Boston Bruins and New York Islanders legend Zdeno Chara has finally retired from the NHL after 24 years, undoubtably earning himself a call from the Hockey Hall of Fame in the near future. What a career it has been for Zdeno Chara. From
Bergeron Finally Resigns, Along With Krejci
These resignings were inevitable, but it did take a long time for them to come together. Patrice Bergeron has officially resigned with the Boston Bruins for 1-year, worth $2.25M and David Krejci for 1-year, $1M. I’m actually surprised that these deals were signed this late into the free agency window. I know the Bruins needed
Montreal Canadiens’ Paul Byron Is A Hero
In a world that is so often dominated by gloom and depressing headlines, Paul Byron has just shown why there is still a reason to aspire to be good. The Montreal Canadiens’ forward has just saved a pilot after his plane crashed into a Lac de Sables Lake in Quebec. This is a great story
What Was Florida Thinking Trading For Calgary’s Matthew Tkachuk?
What have the Florida Panthers done? They have just traded for Calgary’s Matthew Tkachuk in exchange of Jonathan Huberdeau, Mackenzie Weeger, a prospect, and a 2025 1st-round pick. There have been some lopsided trades in recent NHL history, but this one might very well top the list. The Florida Panthers have just guttered their draft
Uh, Pierre-Luc Dubois, You Weren’t Supposed To Say That…
If you ever find yourself trying to gain the trust and adoration of your team’s fanbase, don’t do what Winnipeg’s Pierre-Luc Dubois has just done. His agent (with his permission, no doubt) has just come out and said that Pierre would love to play for the Montreal Canadians as soon as possible. This really isn’t
The Red Wings Made A HUGE Free Agent Splash, Landing Perron, Chariot, Copp, And Others
I thought the Red Wings were going to wait one more year before they started spending their $23M worth of cap space. I was wrong. Stevie Y and the Red Wings have had enough of losing as they have gone out and signed David Perron, Ben Chariot, Andrew Copp, and others to huge contracts. Detroit
Ottawa Are Coming With A Fury For A Playoff Spot With Giroux Signing
The second biggest name on the free agent market has gone with Claude Giroux officially signing with the Ottawa Senators. Clearly, this move shows that the Senators are sick and tired of losing and are coming with a fury for a playoff spot this year. It has been 5 years since Chris Kunitz scored that
Has Steve Yzerman Just Drafted Yet Another Steal In Marco Kasper?
Has Steve Yzerman done it again? Has he just swindled the NHL draft once more in his quest to rebuild his beloved Detroit Red Wings into perirenal champions? Judging by the last two drafts, yeah, probably. For so long in the NHL, there has been a funny tradition of great players retiring, going into management/coaching,
Montreal Passes On Wright For Slafkovsky, Praying For Bedard Next Draft
Out of all the teams at the NHL draft yesterday, the Montreal Canadiens made sure they took it upon themselves to be the most exciting to watch. Not only did they steal the show by passing over presumptive-#1 pick, Shane Wright, to take Juraj Slafksovsky, but they also were the busiest team by acquiring Kirby
Slovakia Wins NHL Draft; Slafkovsky Goes To 1st To MTL, Nemec Goes 2nd To NJ
For an NHL draft taking place in Montreal and the holders of the 1st overall pick being the Montreal Canadiens, it is kind of funny that the draft headliners were two Slovakians. Shocking, I know, as Montreal took Slovakian winger Juraj Slafkovsky 1st overall and the New Jersey Devils took Slovakian defenseman Simon Nemec 2nd
Can The Red Wings FINALLY End Their Playoff Drought This Season?
The Red Wings’ era of domination in the 1990’s and 2000’s, winning four Stanley Cups (1997, 1998, 2002, 2008) in twenty years, is a memory as outdated as 1990’s technology now. The Red Wings have not fielded a competitive team in over six years, which was the last time they made the playoffs. However, this
Bruins Hire Montgomery, Not Sure If It Will Matter
Well, the Bruins search for a new head coach is over at last. Former Dallas Stars head coach Jim Montgomery was announced to be the Bruins’ next head coach, though he will be working with scraps to start. The Boston Bruins are a shell of themselves. With Charlie McAvoy, Brad Marchand, and Matt Grzelcyk all
Corey Perry Is The Most Unlucky Guy In The NHL
Three straight Stanley Cup Finals appearances, three straight Stanley Cup Finals losses. Yup, with the Lightning losing to the Avalanche 4-2 in the Stanley Cup Finals this year, Corey Perry has now officially lost his third Stanley Cup Final in a row. Clearly, he’s been cursed by the Hockey Gods for being one of the
The Lightning May No Longer Champions, But Their Greatness Should Not Be Forgotten
After three years of dominance, the Lightning have finally been vanquished. Their dreams of a threepeat are official over with their 2-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. But this team should not be forgotten in the annals of NHL history. In the end, the Lightning’s injuries got the better of them. The loss of Brayden
MacKinnon FINALLY Shows Up, Colorado Wins The Stanley Cup!
For the first time in 21 years, when Patrick Roy, Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, and Ray Bourque were all suiting up for the Avs against the Devils in the 2001 Stanely Cup final, the Colorado Avalanche have won the Stanley Cup. Overcoming a raging Tampa Bay comeback, the Avalanche have knocked off the two-time defending
Lightning Live To Fight Another Day, Series Goes Back To Tampa For Game 6
It seems that the Lightning are not going to go down without a fight as they scrapped a difficult win against the Colorado Avalanche to get the series to 3-2. Still, the need the Hockey Gods to shine down more luck on them if they want to win the Stanley Cup for a third time
The End Is In Sight For Tampa Bay
The run the Tampa Bay Lightning have been on, playing in three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals, has been one of the greatest achievements in NHL history. Only a few teams in the modern era of the NHL can boast of such dominance over the league. However, with their 3-2 OT loss to Colorado in Game
Colorado Edges Past Bolts, Takes 3-1 Series Lead
At long last we finally had a close, gritty game in the Stanley Cup Finals. And it was none other than the returning Nazem Kadri to bury a fantastic snip under Vasilevskiy’s arm to win Game 4, giving Colorado the 3-1 series lead. Unlike Game 1, where Tampa Bay came storming back after going down
Lightning Showed They Can Win, Though Injuries Might Derail Them
The Lightning were A LOT better tonight, and they had to be. They could not afford to go down 3-0, as that would have all but sealed their fate as defending cup champions. But they are not out of the woods yet as the injury bug is coming upon them at the worst possible time.
Lightning Clinical, Beat Avalanche To Stay Competitive In Finals
Well, well, well. It seems the Lightning players heard everything bad said about them the past few days. And they took it personally as the Lightning held off the Avalanche’s high-powered offense to win 6-2, keeping this series still in reach. It is about time they decided to show the world why they are the
Bruins Will Be Lucky To Be In Playoff Contention Next Year
Another year, and another bitterly disappointing early playoff exit for the aging Bruins core. But this time, it feels as though the Stanley Cup window for this Bruins’ team is just about over. It has been 11 years since the Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in one the most entertaining Stanley Cup Finals ever played
Lightning Have To Find Their Championship Pride After Game 2 Annilihation
The time for panic has officially begun for all Lightning fans. With another loss in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Tampa Bay Lightning have now gone down 0-2 to this explosive Colorado Avalanche team. What makes this result even worse? The Lightning lost 7-0. If the Lightning thought Game 1 was a bad performance, then
Avalanche DISMANTLE Tampa Bay, Go Up 2-0
I did not see that coming. The Colorado Avalanche completely dismantled the Tampa Bay Lightning 7-0. Yes, you read that right. 7-0. I can’t believe that Tampa Bay played EVEN WORSE in Game 2 than they did in Game 1. And they were definitely bad in Game 1. There was not one point in this
Vegas Finally Dumps Dadonov Contract, Sends Him To Canadiens For Weber Contract
This is kind of funny. Only a few moments after I’m done writing and then releasing an article about how disastrous the Evgenii Dadonov trade debacle was for the Vegas Golden Knights, they actually ended up getting rid of his debilitating cap hit. Yes, the Dadonov experiment has ended in Vegas, resulting in what can
Tampa Bay Played Bad In Game 1, But Proved They Can Still Be Dangerous
Yeah, Game 1 is a game all Tampa Bay players, coaches, staff, and fans can forget in a hurry. It was not pretty for the Bolts in those first 30 minutes. 3 goals allowed in the first period for the first time under Andrei Vasilevskiy’s goaltending reign, outplayed in almost all areas of the ice,
Colorado Overcomes Lightning Surge To Win Game 1
That was a lot closer than it should have been. Colorado defeats Tampa Bay 4-3 in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, but it really should have been a lot easier for the Avalanche. The Avalanche started this game on diesel fuel, flying everywhere on the ice. They were first to lose pucks, first
Tampa Bay Has A Chance To Win, They Just Need To Go “Totally Tubular” To The Next Level
The Tampa Bay Lightning are heading back to the Stanley Cup Finals for a THIRD time in as many years. The last team to do that was the 1979-83 New York Islanders. To put this in perspective, Washinton had just won their first Super Bowl with Doug Williams, The Return of the Jedi just came
Lightning Show Their Champion’s Heart, Heading Back To The Cup Finals
Well, well, well, Tampa Bay has done it again. The Tampa Bay Lightning have thwarted aside the New York Rangers to be the Eastern Conference’s champion in the Stanley Cup Final. Who would have thought I would be writing this? Huh, what was that? “Everybody“, you say. Yeah, you’re right. It is becoming almost too
Lightning Win Late AGAIN, Rangers On The Brink
[embedpress]https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/the-tampa-bay-lightning-celebrate-after-ondrej-palat-of-the-news-photo/1402040653?adppopup=true[/embedpress] It has happened again. The New York Rangers have blown another tight, winnable game in the last minute to the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, Tampa Bay Lightning. Only this time it has put them on the brink of elimination. Every Ranger fan out there must be feeling like they are Bill Murray from
