Nazem Kadri’s play-driving, edge, and center depth would fit exactly what the Minnesota Wild need. His current production and faceoff workload in Calgary also underline that he can still handle tough minutes down the middle. Danila Yurov has shored up some of the issues down the middle, but his play...
I’ve long enjoyed, every once in a while, sitting back and thinking about so many of the players who wore the blue and white of the Toronto Maple Leafs, especially those from the late 1950s through the 1970s.

The Vancouver Canucks , who are second-last in the NHL, four games under .500, and have already traded their franchise player, are going to be selling more this season. One main trade candidate they have that plenty of other teams seem to be looking at is Kiefer Sherwood. David Pagnotta said, "Tampa sniffed around a bit, but I don't think they're in the mix. Boston has been poking around. Dallas. The Canadiens." Sherwood's cap hit of $1.5 million AAV for the remainder of the season puts so man...

On January 5th in 2008, Philadelphia Flyers forward Steve Downie sucker-punched the Maple Leafs' Jason Blake as the pair were being restrained by officials following early third period fisticuffs. Already famous for a vicious preseason headshot on Ottawa's Dean McAmmond, earning him a 20 game suspension and criticism from players league-wide (including Blake), the reckless rookie renewed his

I won't deny that I was very against the idea that both Drew Doughty and Travis Sanheim were named to the Canadian Olympic team on Wednesday, and I voiced those opinions on January 1 on The Hockey Show . I haven't changed my opinion on either player's inclusion on the roster when younger players like Owen Power, Jacob Chychrun, Noah Dobson, and Matthew Schafer are available to go and will be the future of the Canadian Olympic team long after both Doughty's and Sanheim's times have passed. Toni...
“I don’t know that we necessarily want to get into that type of game (run and gun) with [Rochester]. Once we started to structure it up, get above them, and create some turnovers, they didn’t have the same success as in the first period.
