Marc-Andre Fleury is supportive of Matt Murray starting

0 comments by on 5/5/2016

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been a dominant force throughout the playoffs and one of the key factors for the team has been the great play of rookie goaltender Matt Murray. The 21-year-old has appeared in seven games and has sported an excellent 6-0-1 record, a 1.81 GAA and a .944 save percentage. He’s played way […]

26-year-old wunderkind John Chayka named Coyotes GM

0 comments by

Sometimes it takes an unconventional approach to look towards the future. Because of this outside the box thinking, the Arizona Coyotes ended up with a 26-year-old general manager, John Chayka. Chayka will be the youngest general manager once this becomes official. Chayka has had a short yet pretty impressive work history. He founded Stathletes Inc., a […]

The Jack Adams curse continued with the firing of Bob Hartley

0 comments by on 5/4/2016

Recently, the Calgary Flames announced the dismissal of their head coach, Bob Hartley. It came as a bit of surprising news as a fair amount of firings usually happen right after the season ended for teams who missed the playoffs. Remarkably, Hartley went from Jack Adams winner to a coach looking for a job in […]

0 comments by

Thomas Hickey had himself quite a night in Game 3. He probably had two of the most influential plays of the night and they were for two completely different reasons. First, he dished out a vicious hit on Jonathan Drouin. This time he was the victim of the big hit. The person laying down the […]

Physicality is a trademark of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Islanders and Lightning had been mostly missing that component, but that all changed in Game 3. Thomas Hickey set the tone and destroyed Jonathan Drouin.

When you are a man like Ryan Reaves, you don’t have to put up with anything. A good portion of the time, you are also able to do anything you want too. He demonstrated that ability last night after a late hit on his teammate Alex Pietrangelo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB2sjw05j9A Blues players reenacted the moment on the […]

Bruce Boudreau on coaching again: “I’ve had a couple of conversations”

0 comments by

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 […]

Perhaps a keg of beer was not the best prize to give Ryan O’Reilly

0 comments by

So this is all kinds of awkward. Canada shutout the Czech Republic 3-0 in an exhibition game to open the IIHF Men’s Worlds championships in Prague on Tuesday. The team was led by Buffalo Sabres center Ryan O’Reilly who scored the game-winning goal and was named the player of the game. What was his reward for […]

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 […]

Video: Should Kris Letang be suspended for this hit on Marcus Johansson?

0 comments by on 5/2/2016

Almost immediately after making the decision to give Brooks Orpik a three-game suspension, the NHL will have to rule on a similar hit from Kris Letang on Marcus Johansson. Letang picked up a two-minute penalty for interference, but should the league do more? Here’s the hit: The first argument should be over whether or not the […]

Lou Lamoriello hopes the Leafs never get the first pick again

0 comments by

The Toronto Maple Leafs got the best news in a long time when it was revealed they won the draft lottery and will select first overall in the upcoming NHL draft. The pick means the Leafs will likely get franchise player Auston Matthews and start on an upward trend in their rebuild. While getting the first pick […]
