It’s yet another postseason without the Blackhawks in it, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be watching! With the playoffs starting this weekend, the SCH crew gathered to offer some of their thoughts on it. Western Conference Colorado Avalanche (No. 1 overall seed) vs. Los Angeles Kings (WC2) Dave : I initially created this article about a week before the end of the season, when we still didn’t know who’d win the second wild card spot, inserting “who cares” as a placeholder. Even t...
The Edmonton Oilers postseason begins on Monday. Heading into the final day of the season on Thursday, the Oilers first round opponent was anyone’s best guess. There were three possibilities: The Colorado Avalanche, the Los Angeles Kings, and the Anaheim Ducks. Before the Vegas Golden Knights won on Wednesday, the Oilers even could’ve played the…
The Colorado Avalanche won 55 regular season games, claimed the Presidents' Trophy, earned home ice throughout the Western Conference playoffs, and finished with 121 points, which was eight clear of the Carolina Hurricanes for the best record in hockey. They did all of that while dealing with a late-season wave of injuries that would have derailed most teams.

What if the biggest difference between a D1 softball player and everyone else had nothing to do with talent? That might sound wrong at first.

It’s here: Game 82 of the regular season for the Chicago Blackhawks, who host the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night. These two just played two Mondays ago , so there won’t be too much to dive into here. That game was a 6-2 loss for the Hawks in San Jose, who were hoping to grab a wild-card spot. They didn’t.

Instead, it's a thank-you article for finally putting the Winnipeg Jets out of their misery for what was a completely forgettable season in the Manitoba capital. Yes, a handful of players had outstand...
