Gary Rowell’s greatest moment was probably the hat trick he scored against Newcastle in a 4-1 win for the Lads away at Sid James Park. In 1979 I was just a naïve teenager scared of my own shadow and definitely scared of football ‘hooligans’. But football was my obsession, and when my older and much […]
In their second meeting with the Nashville Predators this week, the Colorado Avalanche were hoping for the opposite result after falling in a shoutout on Tuesday night. Christmas came early in this contest for several Avalanche players who hadn’t hit the scoresheet lately as Jack Drury and Victor Oloffson both scored in this contest along […]

And while Saturday’s matchup was listed as a battle of the stars with McDavid and Draisaitl squaring…

Well, at least the Tampa Bay Lightning finally scored more than one goal against Ilya Sorokin. After giving up two early goals, the Bolts battled back with goals from Darren Raddysh (on the power play) and J.J. Moser to tie the New York Islanders. Overtime solved nothing, and Sorokin stopped two of the Lightning’s three shootout attempts while Mathew Barzal and Emil Heineman were able to slip pucks past Jonas Johansson to earn the extra points in a 3-2 victory. With the win the Islanders ...
Despite two early leads, the Wolf Pack fell hard in their Saturday night matchup in Syracuse.
The Blackhawks didn’t do much of anything on offense while being shut out 4-0 by the Red Wings on Saturday night at the United Center. On a night when the giveaway was a Chris Chelios bobblehead, perhaps there was no more fitting development early on than a pair of Hawks scoring the first two goals for Detroit. Alex DeBrincat was up first, tallying just 55 seconds into the game: Detroit goal! Scored by Alex DeBrincat with 19:05 remaining in the 1st period. Assisted by Andrew Copp a...
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 14-12-5. On where the game got away from the team: 30 seconds to go in the second period, we throw a puck blindly into the slot. First of all, they should’ve changed, but they […] The post Craig Berube on another rough third period for the Leafs vs. Edmonton: “Our leaders have to take control of it a lot more than they are right now” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotsto...
An ugly start turned into a statement comeback as the Blueshirts battled to an OT victory.
First period Cole Caufield cheats a bit speeding out into the neutral zone as the puck stays in the Canadiens’ end, and that opens up some space for J.T. Miller to get the puck to Braden Schneider to walk in and shoot, but Jacob Fowler makes the save. The second line comes out, and pass from Ivan Demidov to Oliver Kapanen in the slot just fails to connect. The top line has now spent both of its shifts in the defensive zone. They have had several games with that not happening t...
The Flyers were solid in the first half of the game but looked lucky to hang on to the loser point. The end result was a 4-3 victory for the visiting Hurricanes, extending their unbeaten streak in Philadelphia to nine games.

The Vancouver Canucks listened to trade offers for a few weeks on defenceman Quinn Hughes, and from the sounds of it, there were quite a few deals to mull over. According to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, six teams made offers for Hughes, with of course, the one Jim Rutherford ended up accepting coming from Bill Guerin and the Minnesota Wild. Confirmed teams that tried on Quinn Hughes: New Jersey, Detroit, Rangers; and to some degree, Carolina and Buffalo. https://t.co/fRQnTxnmCC — Pierre LeBrun (@Pierr...
Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson is one of the biggest trade candidates in the NHL. Due to this, let's take a look at three teams that stand out as prime potential landing spots for him. Dallas Stars The Stars have long been linked to Andersson, and it is easy to understand why. He would give a major boost to the right side of their defense, which is a big need for them. Thus, expect the Stars to be big suitors for Andersson this season. Toronto Maple Leafs Th...
The San Jose Sharks did something today that no other Sharks team has ever done. Down 5-1 in the third period, the team overcame a four-goal deficit to not just tie the game, but win it, something that no other Sharks team in the history of the franchise has done. Of course, that’s in part because the stacked teams of the past never would have gotten themselves into such a predicament in the first place, but we take our wins where we can get them. The Sharks beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-5 in...
The Islanders found themselves momentarily in first place in the Eastern Conference by total points (if not pts. percentage) on Dec. 13, 2025, after sweeping the Tampa Bay Lightning with the third win over the previous first-holders in the past couple of weeks. Like the previous two games with the Lightning, it was close, nerve-wracking […]

Head down to the comments to talk about Saturday’s game against the Red Wings! Game Preview
Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin made the biggest splash on the trade market that we will see this NHL season, acquiring Quinn Hughes in a blockbuster deal with the Vancouver Canucks . But sources say he is not done dealing just yet. The cost of fortifying the blueline with a Norris Trophy winner—the second-best defender in the league—is losing a top-six center in the process. At least, that's the role that Marco Rossi will certainly take on with the Canucks, as well as a spot on the top po...
