This Wild Team Feels Different Heading Into the Stretch Run

For most of the team's 25-year history, the Minnesota Wild have had an established identity. The team relies on strong defense, solid goaltending, and opportunistic (if not always potent) goal-scoring. That’s all a nice way to describe a team with the dreaded label of "low-event hockey." The st...

Lightning Morning News: The Bolts are back (on the ice)

While the pressure is ramping up in Milan for the four teams left in the Olympic tournament, things are starting to wind back up in Tampa (well, Brandon to be exact). The Tampa Bay Lightning were back on the ice on Wednesday as practice resumed for the players not over in Italy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tampa Bay Lightning (@tblightning) It’s good to see Charle-Edouard D’Astous in a regular sweater based on some of the news from yesterday in regards to so...

Team Canada Thoughts: McDavid breaking Olympic records, Marner clutch again for Canada, big-game Binnington and more

Team Canada’s 4-3 come-from-behind OT win over Team Czechia was an absolute thriller. Team Canada fans’ heart rates likely hit all-time highs, while Edmonton Oilers fans were well-prepped for the drama, having seen late-game mayhem like this over the past couple of years, but one thing is for sure: that game was a classic and…

3 Flyers who have most to gain for rest of the season

The Philadelphia Flyers have 26 games left of their season and while they are on track to miss the playoffs, there could still be something positive to take for a couple players. We’ve already looked at how three Flyers should be looking at the rest of the 2025-26 season to avoid the worst-case scenarios . But it’s time to believe that the glass isn’t half-empty but half-full. Here then is a look at three Flyers who have the most to gain the rest of the season with strong finishes. F...

Penguins Likely To Keep 3 Tradeable Forwards Through Deadline

The Pittsburgh Penguins have had a very strong season while expectations coming in were low. There were a lot of expected trade candidates for a team that will likely not be moving out any players for picks at the trade deadline, and only maybe moving players in a larger deal to bring someone more impactful in. There are three players in particular that have been brought up and questioned about their future. Josh Yohe said, "I think it's far more likely that the Penguins give (Justin Brazeau) ...

Olympics Final Four Set: Hurricanes set to face each other

When you take a step back, you understand why the NHL missed the last two Olympics. The league generally doesn’t get much of a ratings bump for interrupting their season for three weeks so the competition can play out, the risk of injury is high and has reared its head a couple times this time […]

Thursday Morning Links

Morning, all! Sam Haggerty would like to be the right handed bat the Rangers have been looking for after a productive turn as half a platoon was ended by an ankle injury last year. Josh Sborz is also hoping to return to a productive role after shoulder issues limited him to less than 20 innings […]

Kadri's Message Should Mean Trade Coming From Flames

The Calgary Flames are not a good team this season and continue to struggle with scoring. Dustin Wolf hasn't been able to hold them in the season like he did last season and the lack of goal-scoring has really been evident. Nazem Kadri isn't part of the problem in this regard as he leads the team with 39 points in 56 games, but much more than just him is needed. The veteran is 35 years old and is on the decline with three years left on his deal. There is interest from teams around the league a...

List of Potential Avalanche Trade Targets

It’s that time of year to fantasize about all the veteran depth players who might be wearing burgundy and blue within a month’s time. Once the Olympic roster freeze lifts after February 22nd there could be a sudden flurry of activity. The Colorado Avalanche like to do their NHL trade deadline shopping early and certainly […]

The Hockey Show - Episode 700

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, somehow made it to the 700th show in its history. There aren't many weekly shows that have lasted as long as this hour has, but we're climbing the rungs of history at UMFM. When you consider that The Simpsons has been on the air for 37 seasons and only have 805 episodes to their name, we must be holding our own in the hockey chatter realm. In all honesty, though, we are grateful and thankful for each and eve...

Still A Path For Maple Leafs To Keep McMann

The Toronto Maple Leafs are not officially out of the playoff race as they're just six points back of the second wildcard spot. But, they have four teams to jump over to do so, and there are plenty of teams doing well in the East. The Maple Leafs' trade deadline approach is going to be an interesting one and may depend on how they come out of the break and how contract talks go with Bobby McMann. David Pagnotta said, "They have to make a decision I think first and foremost on Bobby McMann. Is ...

With their sights firmly set on returning to the Stanley Cup Final for a third consecutive season, draft picks have become secondary to the immediate goal for the Edmonton Oilers.
