Craig Berube on Easton Cowan’s lack of ice-time opportunity as the Leafs’ season wears on: “We will get his minutes up”

Ahead of Wednesday’s game in New Jersey, head coach Craig Berube discussed the news of Chris Tanev undergoing season-ending surgery, Easton Cowan’s minutes, healthy-scratching Troy Stecher, and the challenge of coaching a team through a lost season.  Can you address the news about Chris Tanev, who is shutting it down for the season after undergoing […] The post Craig Berube on Easton Cowan’s lack of ice-time opportunity as the Leafs’ season wears on: “We will get his minutes up” appeared fir...

How the Tyler Myers trade could shape the Flyers’ Rasmus Ristolainen return

While the trade deadline creeps closer and Rasmus Ristolainen’s name continues to be floated in trade rumors all over the league, one of his main comparables has found a new home.  Tyler Myers has been sent to Dallas in order to join their playoff push, with the Canucks receiving both a 2027 second-round pick and a 2029 fourth-round pick in return. Vancouver will also retain 50% of Myers’ $3-million AAV cap hit on his contract that runs until the end of next season, in order to ship ...

My 2025-26 Big Ten women’s basketball awards ballot

The Big Ten 2025-26 season took another step on Tuesday when the conference announced season honors. It is an annual tradition to honor the individual accolades of its stars, and this year, there was not too much separating some of the biggest races of the year. Even so, the UCLA Bruins, who went undefeated in […]

Bottom Six Minutes: A comedy of errors sinks Habs in San Jose

With Buffalo and Boston both posting wins earlier in the day, the Montreal Canadiens visited the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday with a big two points up for grabs. In one of their more frustrating performances in recent memory, they bumbled their way to a three goal deficit in the third period, stormed their way back to tie the game, then took a late penalty that ended up giving the Sharks the game-winning goal. The first two goals scored by San Jose were byproducts of confusion and bad puck ...

Could Bobby Brink be included in a Rasmus Ristolainen trade?

With the trade deadline looming just a few hours away, could a certain Philadelphia Flyers winger be a part of a package deal to bolster the return in a Rasmus Ristolainen deal? It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Flyers don’t have a ton of options to deal at this year’s trade deadline. Defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen has been the most talked-about player that could be traded, but is there another player on the Flyers roster that could be used in a package deal with Ristolainen to help bol...

Could Tua Tagovailoa be heading to the Jets?

Yes, you read that correctly. According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the New York Jets are among a number of teams “doing their homework” on Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. It’s no secret that the Dolphins are actively shopping Tagovailoa around the NFL, however coy new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan wants to be […]

Lightning Morning News: Team confident that the play will improve

For the record, Coach Jon Cooper isn’t worried about the team right now. Yes, he acknowledges that they’re not playing well, but he’s confident that the team will figure it out. For 55 games or so this has been a tough defensive team that makes opponents work for every goal. Right now that’s not happening and the Minnesota loss was a microcosm of the losing streak. They gifted the Wild a stretch of power plays that ended with a Mats Zuccarello power play goal to make it 2-0. Then Andrei V...

Michigan State Hockey Preview/Game Thread: Minnesota

Daily Faceoff’s Jeff Marek believes the Edmonton Oilers could be the team to watch at the trade deadline and openly wondered about Darnell Nurse’s status.  The NHL’s trade deadline is Friday, and there’s been action across the league already. The Oilers have made one move, acquiring Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday for…

Who needs a satisfying end to the regular season, anyway

There are shrewd ways of ending the regular season, like perhaps not blowing a late lead on the road or just generally not entering an impressive stretch of defensive incompetence, but personally I prefer the other routes, which involve defiantly staring down the bubble and saying “look at all the dumb shit we can do!” […]

Nazem Kadri Has Already Invoked No-Trade List

One of the top names on the market this week is Calgary Flames center Nazem Kadri. The gritty, edgy two-way center is the ultimate playoff trade addition, given his Stanley Cup pedigree and feisty play. He is ready to move on to a contender, but he has some say in the matter.  His full no-move clause has reverted to a 13-team no-trade list this season, and word is he's already used it, according to insider Elliotte Friedman on NHL Network Radio : The one thing I've heard about Kadri is, h...

Bill Guerin's Gritty Mistakes Are Getting Worse And Worse

There's no doubt that Bill Guerin is feeling himself right now. Coming off a Kirill Kaprizov extension, the Quinn Hughes trade, and a Gold Medal win with Team USA, he's maybe the strongest contender for GM of the Year. And especially with the gold medal, he did it his way. Guerin took criticism...

As of Wednesday morning, the Nashville Predators have been the most active team this week as we steam toward Friday's trade deadline. They shipped out two pending unrestricted free agents on Tuesday, sending Cole Smith to the Vegas Golden Knights, and Michael McCarron to the Minnesota Wild.
