The first offseason was an abbreviated one, the second a do over. Neither allowed much opportunity for Brent Brennan to take a breath, let alone a day off. Midway through his third offseason at Arizona, Brennan still isn’t slowing down, but that’s by choice rather than necessity. And it helps that there isn’t nearly as […]
A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
The Minnesota Wild’s acquisition of Bobby Brink from the Philadelphia Flyers is more than a feel-good homecoming story. It’s a calculated bet that a crafty, play-driving winger entering his prime can push this team closer to a deep playoff run. Adding Brink's skill set into a lineup that already fea...
No. 3 and No. 21. The preseason AP Poll rankings for UCLA and Iowa, respectively. Now they are No. 2 and No. 9, with the Bruins having a strong case to be No. 1 and the Hawkeyes likely to move up at least two spots in the final AP Poll. The teams will meet in […]

Saturday’s 75-61 win over UNC was both satisfying and distressing. It was distressing because Pat Ngongba started the game with a boot on and Caleb Foster ended the game with one on his foot as well. Ngongba’s situation is not that serious: the injury report said that it would be a game-time decision, and the […]

Over the last few years, Alaska has generally been the strongest Independent program, though at times its status in the NPI was surpassed by Long Island and Lindenwood.When it came time for the first United Collegiate Hockey Cup, however, Alaska rose to the top once again, and entered as the Independent tournament's No. 1 seed, as determined by placement in the NPI.And then the Nanooks proved why....
Fresh off a strong win on Friday night over the Rochester Americans, the Laval Rocket welcomed their North Division rivals on Saturday afternoon for another crucial game. Laval was unfortunately still suffering from the injury bug as both Tobie Bisson and Josh Jacobs joined Adam Engström on the injured list. Slotting in their place on the third pair was Josiah Didier and Ryan O’Rourke, with the Rocket’s defensive depth being tested heavily in March. The forward group remained the same, an...

That’s a game you won’t remember when the season ends, but it’s a game that could prove pivotal in the final La Liga standings. Hansi Flick went for the Copa del Rey comeback midweek against Atletico Madrid, and as a result, rotation was in order against Athletic Club on the weekend. The starting eleven at […]

Bo Horvat scored with a nifty backhand on a breakaway as the Islanders continued their insane overtime record (9-0) and salvaged a win from their California swing, defeating the San Jose Sharks, 2-1. Brayden Schenn made his Islanders debut and was a presence for both the regulation goal for and against, settling in next to […]
It felt like for the longest time that the remarkable start of Brandon Bussi was one that was increasingly impossible. While bringing a strong track record of sterling saves, since the Olympic Break he hasn’t looked nearly as stellar. What’s been more concerning is his weakness at handling the puck, and it would play a […]
Well, that’s a relief. The Tampa Bay Lightning snap their four-game losing streak with a convincing win over a reeling Toronto Maple Leafs squad, 5-2. With four assists, Nikita Kucherov hit the 100-point mark for the fourth season in a row. Corey Perry scored in his first game since the trade deadline and Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 27-of-29 shots. Yes, it was the Maple Leafs, a team that is driving the struggle bus right off of Niagara Falls (the Canadian side), but after failing to taste...

The defender posted on social media just after the final whistle at San Mames with the message, “Vamooooos!” The win keeps Barcelona four points clear of Real Madrid […]
“You’re either winning or you’re learning” is one of my favourite sayings in sports. It’s a constructive way to frame a game in a glass-half-full type of way. You either celebrate your success or learn what you can do better for the next time. Frustratingly, the Leafs are neither winning nor learning right now. General […] The post Adrift Maple Leafs are neither winning nor learning anything right now appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 27-26-11. On the team’s performance: Tough break on the first goal. I thought that kind of took a little bit out of us and put us on our heels a little. They capitalized […] The post Craig Berube on Leafs fans booing their team during a seventh-straight loss: “Hey, they pay good money to come watch us” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
First period The Canadiens are getting zone time, which is a good thing versus a team that often stymies them in the neutral zone. It will be important to get a lead however so the Kings can’t just slip into a defensive formation for the rest of the game. Kaiden Guhle whacks Alex Laferrière in the face with his stick and will sit for two minutes. If it hadn’t been Guhle, it would have been Mike Matheson for tripping as that pairing got beat once again on this trip. Jakub Dobeš...
