The Montreal Canadiens are contenders for the Stanley Cup this season as it seems pretty wide open in the East. They sit second in their division and third in the conference after upgrading this offseason, and are looking to upgrade even further before the trade deadline. To do that, Patrik Laine will have to move. Chris Johnston said, "Moving him out, the Canadiens do that in concert with knowing they have something else in place, and at this point in time, they don't have anything else in pl...

For some members of the Tampa Bay Lightning, a much-needed break in the regular season gets underway today. The NHL is officially shut down for the next few weeks as the attention of the hockey world shifts to Italy and the 2026 Winter Olympics. After 12 years, NHL players are back for a best-on-best tournament (minus, of course, the Russians) and the players are excited to be heading overseas for a chance to earn a gold medal, as well as locker room bragging rights.
Even with Brayden Poi...
Every team wants to be "Tough To Play Against."
Everyone knows that hockey comes down to scoring more goals than the other team, but front offices also want their teams to be able to win in the physical aspect of the game. Every year, we see teams target grinders in free agency and at the trade...
The familiarity factor for the Team Canada roster at the Olympics has been on another level. Doug Armstrong (GM) selected Jordan Binnington and Colton Parayko from his St. Louis Blues , selected Brandon Hagel, Brayden Point, and Anthony Cirelli from Jon Cooper's Tampa Bay Lightning , and the injury replacements, Sam Bennett and Seth Jarvis, both played on the 4 Nations team for Canada. On top of that, the defense selected were all the same and there were very few changes made to the roster, de...

Along with “Thrill of Defeat” host and Pittsburgh guy Dan Hopper, we remember Dick Tarnstrom, who turned getting waived by the Islanders into a starring role on some bad transitional Penguins teams. While the Penguins have had some all time great players in their history, the periods between those players were pretty dire. Bankruptcies, empty […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins scored one of their most impressive wins of the 2025-26 season on Thursday night when they beat a Buffalo Sabres team that has been one of the hottest in the NHL by an 5-2 margin. It was an impressive win not only because they mostly outplayed the Sabres, but also because they […]
There's only one topic in Rangers-land worth discussing, and we all know what it is.
It was an incredibly busy month of January for the Colorado Eagles which saw the squad play 15 (!) games as they endured numerous recalls to the Colorado Avalanche on both offense and defense during that span. There was a little bit of adversity to overcome and movement in the standings this month through experiencing […]

The Flyers finished their pre-Olympic gauntlet Thursday night with a 2-1 overtime loss against the Ottawa Senators. The Flyers capped off this stretch of 56 games with a record of 25-20-11. And while some players we mentioned previously well more than happy to see the Olympic break now for a few weeks, there are a few other players who maybe hate the fact they’re now having some down time. It’s not every Flyer, but we take a look at three Flyers who are playing quite well of late, and would ju...

Paul Maurice started his Olympic break early. The Florida Panthers head coach was tossed out of Thursday night's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, in what was a wild, fight-filled affair. The Battle of Florida lived up to its name, and much more, as this game was one for the ages. In the third period, the Lightning were walking away with it 4-0, and that's when things took a turn. Fights broke out at center ice, including a rematch between Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk, and Lightning's Brandon...

Artemi Panarin had the Seattle Kraken ready to blow the doors off the market, and he still said no. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, Seattle put a four-year extension on the table with an average annual value higher than Leon Draisaitl’s $14 million, a jaw-dropping pitch that would have made Panarin one of the league’s top-paid players. Kraken’s offer was massive, Panarin still stayed on his track The wild part is how close things apparently came to falling apart with Los Ange...
