The Montreal Canadiens and New York Islanders have taken very different paths to similar places in the standings. The Canadiens sport the NHL’s third-best offence, overcoming the defensive errors they make and their substandard goaltending by scoring enough goals to counter those...
Ahead of Thursday’s game in Florida, head coach Craig Berube discussed the return of Dakoa Joshua to the lineup, Easton Cowan’s lack of game action in the last month, and the challenge against the Panthers. What are you expecting from Dakota Joshua coming off a long layoff? Berube: I just like the size against these […]

No, your eyes are not deceiving you — that IS PJ Axelsson and Jared Boll! For whatever reason, that was one of the first images that popped up when searching for “Bruins Columbus,” along with UCLA playing Ohio State. It seemed like a good idea to start the second half Public Skates with some nostalgia. […]
The chances of a Nazem Kadri trade have gone from slim to inevitable the past few weeks. Not only had he previously acknowledged that he was open to a move, but now he wants to be traded, says insider Darren Dreger . Several teams have been seriously connected to the Calgary Flames ' gritty center. We've heard about clubs like the Montreal Canadiens, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, and Detroit Red Wings that would love to get their hands on Kadri. But now for the first time, hi...
The Philadelphia Flyers are back, again! After restarting their season in Washington Wednesday night (and losing) the Flyers are now in New York City to face a Rangers team with an actually worse record. It’s going to be a, well, a game.

The Minnesota Wild had all the momentum in the world when Jack Hughes put a puck past Jordan Binnington in overtime to clinch Team USA's Gold Medal.

The Battle Resumes!
The future of pending free agent Bobby McMann is up in the air at this point. It's thought that the Toronto Maple Leafs would like to re-sign him, and that he wants to stay, but for how much is still in question. In addition, what would they be able to land in a trade deadline deal for him? Can they get a first-round pick? If so, they'd have to seriously consider it. If the two sides can't come to an agreement on an extension, and/or a trade offer is too good to pass up, let's run throug...
A dreadful third period, led by Tristan Jarry, cost the Edmonton Oilers an important two points in Anaheim last night. The Oilers controlled the first two periods and led 4-2 to start the final frame but they allowed four goals in the third and lost 6-5. It was their fourth loss in a row, a…
It appears a bit of momentum carried over from Oregon Men’s Basketball’s improbable rally over USC last weekend. Looking about as in-sync and defensively sound as they have all season, the Ducks not only beat Wisconsin (currently in the NCAA Tournament picture), but beat them rather handily 85-71 in a late-evening matchup in Eugene. With […]
With their being no A’s baseball yesterday, my afternoon was spent cranking out all four episodes of FX’s Love Story. Not sure if any of you are tuning in to the dramatized retelling of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s relationship, but I must admit – – not terrible. Definitely not great by any means, but […]
Closing out third period leads haunted both the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings last night. For the Oilers, it was a two-goal lead at the second intermission. For the Kings, it was a 2-1 lead to fellow division rival the Vegas Golden Knights that flipped to a 6-4 loss. The VGK scored five…
It’s so nice out there in Arizona this spring that the Texas Rangers have decided to play two Cactus League games today. At their home away from home in Surprise, the Rangers will welcome the Milwaukee Brewers with RHP Kumar Rocker set to make the start for Texas opposite LHP Aaron Ashby for Milwaukee. The […]
The Vancouver Canucks are trying to execute their next trade. But they'll need some cooperation from a player first. They pulled longtime defenseman Tyler Myers from the lineup for their game Wednesday night, for trade-related purposes. We've now learned that the Detroit Red Wings had a trade offer on the table with Vancouver for Myers, but the 6'8" d-man has a full no-move clause in his contract, and he hasn't yet agreed to any deal. Tyler Myers continues to consider a trade optio...
Shesterkin and Fox are back, Brendan Brisson is getting his shot, and while it may not save the Rangers’ season, it at least gives fans something new to watch.
The Wisconsin Badgers suffered an ugly 85-71 loss on the road to the Oregon Ducks on Wednesday night, falling to 19-9 on the year and 11-6 in conference play. It was a game that Wisconsin was favored in by 6.5 points and one against a team that had the second-worst record in conference play. But […]
The Edmonton Oilers’ search to trade Andrew Mangiapane has been nothing short of exhaustive. The winger has been on the market since late December, but the Oilers seemingly have had much interest, despite the fact that reports have surfaced from far and wide about potential suitors. One team that had interest in signing Mangiapane last…
The Brewers have put together a modest two-game winning streak after yesterday’s 13-12 thriller against the Giants. They will try to extend that to three games this afternoon as they travel to Surprise to face the Rangers. Aaron Ashby will pitch first this afternoon and is making his first appearance of the spring. The Brewers […]
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with our normal setup as the Olympics are over, the Paralympics are a week from starting, the NHL is back, and all of the craziness involved with those changes can be discussed. I'm not sure I've ever felt as less excited for hockey as I was last night with NHL players being back on the ice after what we witnessed in Milano-Cortina, but it's going to be hard for the NHL to replicate the hocke...

The Colorado Avalanche and Nathan MacKinnon make their return to Ball Arena in Denver, CO, tonight for an interdivisional matchup with on-again, off-again rival Minnesota Wild. The Avs suffered defeat to the Wild in a tense shootout back in November, but bounced back with a commanding 5-1 victory at the end of the calendar year. […]
The Edmonton Oilers are in a pretty tough spot heading into the March 6th trade deadline. They have some assets, but they need to be careful how they spend them. Sure, they could dangle a piece like Isaac Howard if they are getting an impact player who comes with term or team control, but I…
