Jellvik’s First Career Goal Lifts Boston College Over UMass Lowell

Photo by Richard T Gagnon/Getty Images After a shaky start to the Greg Brown Era for Boston College that included a loss to Holy Cross and a sweep at the hands of Merrimack, the Eagles continued to show steady improvement on Tuesday night, following up a four-point weekend against Northeastern last weekend with a victory over a ranked opponent, defeating UMass Lowell 3-2 at Conte Forum. With the team’s leading scorer, junior Trevor Kuntar out of the line-up serving a one-game suspension...

Sacred Heart Finishing New Arena

Sacred Heart Athletics It was an important day for the Sacred Heart men’s and women’s hockey programs yesterday as work crews began putting in ice on the brand new Martire Family Arena, which is set to open up in two months. The new 4000-seat on-campus arena will be a major upgrade for both Pioneers programs. The men currently play at Total Mortgage Arena, one of the doddering cavernous tombs that the NCAA keeps selecting for NCAA regionals, eight miles off campus, while the women have ...

USA Hockey Announces Women’s World U18 Roster

USA Hockey has announced the roster for the 2023 IIHF Women’s World U18 Championship, which will take place January 8-15 in Ostersund, Sweden.

Six skaters along with goalie Annelies Bergmann return from the 2022 roster for the United States. Holy Cr...

Now it’s time to say goodnight

Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images Back in 2008, way before SB Nation became part of Vox Media, Brad Lee asked me to start writing a weekly column for Game Time. Tuesdays With Hildy looked at an issue of the week facing the Blues, handling analysis with careful thought and consideration. Or something. I’m not really sure what it did, but it was interesting enough that in 2013, as the lockout wound down, Brad passed the website baton to me. Over nearly a decade, I’ve always tried my best -...

Kings at Blues GameDay Thread

Can the Blues turn around a sinking ship? To say that the Blues’ play as of late has been uninspiring is being very generous. Mired in their longest regulation losing streak since Craig Berube took over as coach, the pressure is on for this team to play as well as they did during the first three games. Brandon Saad is still out for tonight, but the team has options, and they’ve chosen to exercise them. From stlblues.com, here’re tonight’s lines: Forwards Schenn - O’Reilly - Kyrou Buchn...

Kings at Blues preview: Struggling Blues need some consistent effort

Photo by Joe Puetz/NHLI via Getty Images What is going on with this team? It’s been a while since Blues fans have been treated to a stretch of play this putrid. What began as a good effort loss to the Winnipeg Jets last week has slid into an absolute dumpster fire in which it looks like the Blues are actively trying to lose games. Their 6-2 loss against the Nashville Predators was bad, but their 7-4 loss on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens was atrocious. A blown 3-1 lead sl...

Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports Blues fans can manage frustration with confidence. Hey, everyone! I’m back at St. Louis Game Time after a hectic past few months.

Canadiens at Blues GameDay Thread

Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images What lines will we see tonight against the Habs? If you saw the news that Pavel Buchnevich was activated from the IR and got very happy about the prospects for tonight’s game, well... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be in. He’s getting one more game’s worth of rest before returning Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings, and honestly, a healthy Buchnevich is worth one more game out. Will that make a win again...

Blues activate Pavel Buchnevich from IR

Photo by Scott Rovak/NHLI via Getty Images Does this mean that scoring reinforcements are coming? The Blues’ offense has been sputtering thanks to the absence of Pavel Buchnevich and Brandon Saad. Thankfully, part of the missing pieces are returning tonight. The Blues have announced that they have activated Buchnevich from the IR, and will be sending Josh Leivo down to the Springfield Thunderbirds. Buchnevich has only had the opportunity to play in one game, the team’s opening night w...

Canadiens at Blues preview: Can the Blues snap their losing streak?

Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images This could be a tougher task than the Blues expect. The less said about the Blues’ humbling 6-2 loss to the Nashville Predators on Thursday night the better. Goaltending was a mess of flubber and kicksaves straight to the opposing team. Defense, which has been strong through a bulk of the Blues’ season so far, followed the goaltending, making for discombobulated scene. The offense, which shone through the Blues’ first three games, has been nearly abse...

Blues defense, goalkeeping collapse in embarrassing 6-2 loss in Nashville

Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports Once on a five game losing streak, the Predators erupted to punish the Blues. Brayden Schenn blasted a one-timer into the roof of the net to make the score 2-1 midway through the second period. The Blues looked like they may break the game wide open against a Predators team on a five game skid. Instead, Schenn’s goal was the last time the Blues looked remotely interested in scoring for the remainder of the game. Absolutely Schenn-sational. #s...

One last goodbye to For Whom the Cowbell Tolls

Well, it’s time to say goodbye, folks. The road goes on forever, but it looks like this party might be coming to an end. Well, this is it. This is officially it. As I’m sure you know by now, For Whom the Cowbell Tolls is set to be shut down due to a business decision that was made above our heads. After tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 30, this site will be done. And that’s pretty sad, all things considered. This chapter of the Mississippi State blogosphere is coming to a close. This was once the g...

Paycor Stadium Ended the Battle for the Bell

Stephanie Scarbrough/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK There is no more rivalry between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Miami Redhawks. Just take a look at the student sections from last Saturday’s game if there is any doubt. Maybe back in the 90’s or early 2000’s when Miami fielded competitive teams and Cincinnati was just starting to navigate their football program, this rivalry meant something to the fans of both schools, but this game is about as important to both fanbases as K eeping ...

An easy day at the office for Traff. Conor Bradley - 7 Got forward with purpose and ensured Bolton’s threat was predominantly down the right side.
