“It’s a sequel that you don’t really want to continue to [watch] because they get worse as they continue to go on. We couldn’t get our five-on-five game going because it seemed like there were power plays on both sides. It’s definitely not a recipe for success.” – John Gruden on the Marlies reverting to […] The post Matt Benning scores OT winner as Toronto Marlies overcome slow start to defeat Belleville appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Tom Henke turns 68 today. Seeing the age of some of these guys makes me feel older than when I think of my age. The Blue Jays got Henke as compensation for the Rangers’ signing of Jays’ free-agent Cliff Johnson. Back then, teams that signed another free agent gave up a player to the original […]
Wrapping up Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said the Vegas Golden Knights will be an “ornery” mood for the Edmonton Oilers game tonight. It makes sense why. The Golden Knights got doubled up 6-3 against the Calgary Flames, snapping an eight-game point streak, and setting up a back-to-back where both Edmonton and Vegas…
Welcome to Saints Gameday! Today: New York Jets (3-11) at New Orleans Saints (4-10) The Saints face the Jets in the 2025 home finale at the Caesars Superdome today. The season has hit a bright spot, with the Saints winning back-to-back games for the first time this season. Hopefully, the Saints can extend their win streak […]
The Flyers had a difficult week, not due to the caliber of their competition, but because of how the games ultimately played out. Things started well with a 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, thanks in part to another quality start from Dan Vladar, which put the Flyers on a five-game point streak. However, the positivity quickly disappeared as the team blew back-to-back games that felt firmly in their control. Ironically, their first loss of the week came off one of the best starts ...
The Ottawa Senators are looking to upgrade in order to help them reach the postseason in back-to-back seasons after they finally made the leap to playoff contender. The team has been looking around, and while they don't have the cap space and need for an elite player or true top-6 talent, they could use some two-way and bottom-6 help. This is where the Calgary Flames come in. They are a bottom-feeder who have pieces to sell, even if they refuse to go into a rebuild. Bruce Garrioch said, "We do...
Apparently, I was asleep at the wheel in November because I missed a major announcement in one league. Normally, I try to keep up with most of the leagues around North America for their major stories, but this one appears to have skipped my desk despite it changing the map for one league. In saying that, it seems that there will be hockey at "The Ralph" next season, but this story has nothing to do with Grand Forks or the University of North Dakota. Instead, we need to look an hour east of Gra...
With the Habs about to play two games on the road before their holiday break, and the injury to Jake Evans in last night’s game against the Penguins, they’ve called again for reinforcements from Laval. This time, it is Sammy Blais who will finally get a chance to make his Habs debut after being lost on waivers to the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier this season, before being reclaimed. Les Canadiens ont rappelé l'attaquant Samuel Blais du Rocket de Laval. The Canadiens have recalled forward Sa...

The new Buffalo Sabres ' GM, Jarmo Kekalainen, is not playing around. He has already brought in new people around him, such as Mark Bergevin as the assistant GM. After these changes, the roster or even the head coach is going to see changes as well as he thinks the Sabres can make the playoffs. Buffalo has won five games in a row, are two games over .500, and sit five points back of a playoff spot with a game in hand. It is very possible and the team has been building towards a breakthrough fo...

The St. Louis Blues are on the verge of making some trades to change things up and many valuable players and not-so-tradeable players have been brought up in rumors and reports. Players like Jordan Kyrou, Justin Faulk, Jordan Binnington, and Brayden Schenn are the names you've likely heard many times for many different teams, but this potential shakeup goes deeper than that. David Pagnotta said, "There are absolutely teams that are kicking tires on...pieces, whether it's a Jordan Binnington, O...
It appears the Calgary Flames management team has made their decision on defenceman Rasmus Andersson, and it doesn't involve an upcoming contract extension. Andersson was a guest on After Hours with Scott Oake after the Flames game on Saturday night, and was asked about his future with the organization. It takes two to tango, that's all I'll say.

The Chicago Blackhawks can't catch a break at the moment as their roster is in shambles due to freak accidents. First Connor Bedard separated his shoulder on a faceoff with less than a second left in the game, and now Frank Nazar is going to be out a month after getting hit in the face with the puck. The play happened during Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Nazar was struck with a Jordan Spence shot barely five minutes into the game. He went immediately to the dressing room and did ...
