Bottom Six Minutes: The Habs lost a battle, but proved that this is a war
For the second time in as many games in this series, the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning found themselves in overtime on Tuesday night. In a reversal of the last game’s script, it was Tampa who took the lead in the first period, surrendered it to two consecutive goals by the Habs, then tied it in the third to send the game to extra time. Unfortunately for Montreal, the reversal of the script held true there as well, and a goal from J.J. Moser won it for the Lightning, splitting the ...

Canucks Pausing GM Search For One Specific Reason
The Vancouver Canucks are hoping to have their next general manager in place by the NHL Draft Lottery, but growing belief around the league suggests they may wait until after that result is known before making a final decision. Elliotte Friedman, speaking on the 32 Thoughts Podcast , explained that the lottery outcome could shape the entire GM search. "Could they delay hiring until after the draft lottery? It's possible," Friedman said. "It's only a couple of weeks, and while there's value...

NHL Rumors: Replacement Options for Panthers for Sergei Bobrovsky
The Florida Panthers missed the playoffs for the first time since 2019, and now their most pressing offseason question centers on the goaltender who helped win them two Stanley Cups. Sergei Bobrovsky's seven-year, $70 million contract is finished, and by all accounts the two sides are nowhere close to agreeing on what comes next. A report from Greg Wyshynski on The Sheet with Jeff Marek described the situation as "pretty bad," with Bobrovsky reportedly seeking a deal structured similarly t...

We can talk about the nepotism that exists with guys like Scotty and Stan Bowman working for the Blackhawks and Dick and Chris Patrick managing the Capitals, but there seems to be a lot of times where owners simply create a position out of the blue for a legendary player or loyal player who played for ...
