0 comments by on 5/3/2016

The Anaheim Ducks made a rash decision when the club announced they had fired long-time coach Bruce Boudreau. The Ducks were reacting to an upset first-round loss to the Nashville Predators and weren’t really thinking about how difficult it would be to find a better coach than Boudreau, who’d led Anaheim to four straight division […]

The gamble on Martin Jones is paying off big for the Sharks

0 comments by

The San Jose Sharks took a considerable risk when they dealt a first-round pick to the Boston Bruins in exchange for goaltender Martin Jones. Jones had been a stellar but underused backup for Jonathan Quick in Los Angeles. He posted an encouraging but small 34-game sample size. There wasn’t much to go off, but San Jose […]

0 comments by

The Toronto Maple Leafs were undoubtedly the winners of draft day on Saturday following the announcement they’ll draft first overall and likely land super-prospect Auston Matthews.
