Ken Hitchcock doesn’t want a multi-year deal because he might “get sloppy”

0 comments by

Ken Hitchcock isn’t looking to cash in. Despite guiding the St. Louis Blues to the Western Conference Finals,  Hitchcock hasn’t necessarily helped. Between questionable coaching decisions, such as not playing Vladimir Tarasenko nearly enough time, to his team routinely getting outplayed, the Blues are lucky to be where they’re at. Hitchcock was likely a goner if […]

It’s that time of the year when Jimmy Fallon mocks NHL skaters competing for the Stanley Cup by handing out superlatives. Some are pretty funny. Others miss the mark. Some seemingly obvious opportunities went untouched (Brent Burns). Half the fun is hearing Fallon try to say various hockey names. See what you think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLiUJ123bc0 Victor Hedman’s […]

Pivotal offseason lies ahead for the Blackhawks

0 comments by

It’s odd to think that at this time of the year the Chicago Blackhawks are focused on the offseason rather than contending for a Stanley Cup. The Hawks tend to deal with there mortal enemy the salary cap only after they are champions. The Hawks went all in this year. It’s peculiar to see them out so […]

Jay Beagle provided that moment for Game 6 and at the time it was an absolute series saver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_JP3fGppRo The weirdest part of the video has to be Braden Holtby.
