“Our first five minutes of every period were not very good, but I thought we rebounded from it extremely well… I’ll give credit to [Cleveland] for not quitting and pushing us to the end… It’s a disappointment because we were up 2-0.

Nazem Kadri was one of the buzziest centers on the rumor mill for the first half of the season, despite the fact that neither he nor the Calgary Flames were interested in a trade. More recently, we learned that Kadri actually would be open to a trade, to the right spot. Nevertheless, his trade market seems to have quieted a bit, and according to insider Elliotte Friedman , writing in his 32 Thoughts column for Sportsnet, there are two reasons for that. And they're named Vince...

At 22-0, Arizona is off to the best start in school history. The Wildcats are one of two remaining unbeaten teams in men’s college basketball, along with Miami of Ohio. But there hasn’t been a team run the table for an entire season since Indiana in 1975-76, so it stands to reason that the UA […]

Have you seen that Nike commercial with the late Kobe Bryant and Kanye West? If you haven’t, no worries. That basketball commercial was a play on Bryant’s mamba mentality where he sought more from Kanye. “But are you a different animal and the same beast?,” Bryant asks. That “more successful and more records” uttered in […]
The New York Rangers have already made one massive change by move Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings, and it sounds like some moves could be coming involving their core players, specifically, Vincent Trocheck. According to multiple reports, the Detroit Red Wings and Rangers could be working on a deal that sees Trocheck wind up in Motown.

The Artemi Panarin Sweepstakes are over, as we saw earlier this week, as the New York Rangers traded the pending UFA to the Los Angeles Kings . He then immediately signed a two-year extension with LA with an $11M AAV. We learned that on the morning of the trade, Panarin informed the Rangers that the Kings were the only team he would accept a trade to. But that doesn't mean that others didn't try. In fact, with a rich extension being one of his prerequisites for accepting a trade, there were fo...

The Flyers, riding high after snapping their losing streak with a big win over the Capitals on Tuesday, went into their final game before the break with a significant challenge on their hands — keeping their positive momentum rolling now that they finally had it. And while there were pieces in the matchup which worked in their favor, between a similarly matchup Senators team broadly, but more precisely one starting a 37-year old James Reimer only a handful of games into his stint with Ottawa a...

(Editor’s note: Plenty coming your way over the next few weeks without Blackhawks hockey, including game threads for the Olympics. Stay tuned!) Defining success for the Blackhawks was always going to be a challenging proposition this season due to the difficulty in finding objective benchmarks for it. A surge in the standings could be attributed to puck luck or supreme goaltending that wasn’t indicative of sustainable success. A return to the league’s basement could also be tolerated if a...
