The saying goes that the officials put their whistles away in the playoffs and let the players decide things for themselves. That hasn’t really been the case in this year’s playoffs, but it was late in the third period between the Islanders and Panthers. With the goalie pulled, the Islanders were in desperation mode and […]

After a 17-year career, Vincent Lecavalier has called it quits in a move that wasn’t a surprise to anyone. His midseason move from the Flyers to the Kings was a reclamation project that actually seemed to work out for the always contending Kings.

Video: Tarasenko upset with Ken Hitchcock over lack of ice time

0 comments by on 4/23/2016

Vladimir Tarasenko is one of the best forwards in the NHL and he makes it known almost every time he steps on the ice. With the Blues preparing to choke up another big series lead, you’d think Tarasenko would receive plenty of ice time. That hasn’t been the case and he appears to be pretty […]

The same trio of cities are always discussed when the topic of NHL expansion is presented – Las Vegas, Quebec City and Seattle.

It’s really hard to eliminate a champion … much less a team that has won three Cups in six seasons. So the Blues knew that this wasn’t just any other Game 5 at home up 3-1. And when the Blues and the Blackhawks went to double overtime, Patrick Kane showed why it’s hard to eliminate […]
