While 77 points would barely have a team out of the basement in the Eastern Conference, for the Nashville Predators, it is currently enough for a wild card spot. Battling to hold on to their spot, they hosted the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night, a team embroiled in their own heated battle, and theirs being in the most competitive division in hockey right now. The Habs outclassed their hosts for most of the game, opening up a 4-0 lead, and nearly earning a shutout for Jacob Fowler if not f...
Since the Olympic break, Connor McDavid has produced at an excellent rate of 3.19 points per hour at five-on-five, which is no surprise for him. But in that same stretch, the Oilers have a second forward sitting just behind at a rate of 3.17, and it’s not Leon Draisaitl, who has been out to injury…

The late Bill Walton occupies a unique place in basketball history. He ranks with the greatest centers – Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Hakeem Olajuwon, among others – but injuries greatly limited his career. But when he was healthy, he was indisputably great. Boston Celtics teammate Robert Parish was speaking to former Celtic […]
Leafs are travelling to California, you don't have to go with them.
It has been rare for the Laval Rocket under Pascal Vincent to have sustained losing streaks, especially when the pressure is at its highest. However, riding a two-game skid entering Saturday ramped up the pressure for Laval as they tried to pare down their magic number just a little bit more against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. It was a first Rocket start for Hunter Shepard, who was acquired at the AHL trade deadline, while Vincent Arseneau rejoined the lineup in place of Will Dine...
Liverpool are not shy about splashing the cash, if and when truly outstanding players come onto the market. Florian Wirtz, Virgil van Dijk, and Alisson Becker are all great examples of this. Liverpool are also not opposed to bringing in older, more experienced players if the price is right, for example James Milner and Thiago […]

Montreal Canadiens news and notes “I didn’t feel like I had much to do,” Jacob Fowler offered up as compliment for how the players worked for all 60 minutes in last night’s game.

The Florida Panthers started strong, but a disastrous second period cost them in a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders at UBS Arena. Matthew Tkachuk opened the scoring with a breakaway goal 8:06 into the first. Seth Jones sent a cherry-picking Tkachuk in alone on Ilya Sorokin and he pulled the keeper to the ice before roofing the puck on the backhand. Tkachuk’s second goal at 14:03 was prettier than his first as scored between his legs after being gifted the puck by Ondřej Palát after...
Heading into their Saturday afternoon contest with the Ottawa Senators, the Tampa Bay Lightning knew they needed to start fast and break the string of early multi-goal deficits they’ve faced over the last few games. Just because they knew what they needed to do didn’t mean they actually did it. On the very first shift of the game they conceded a goal. Four minutes later they gave up another one. As they have every other time, they came back to tie the game up. Unlike against Seattle and C...
