Today In NHL History - Malkin Boards Mitchell
On January 16th in 2010, Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins shoved defenseman Willie Mitchell head first into the boards with his team trailing by four goals with 7 minutes to play. Mitchell sustained a concussion on the play forcing him to miss the remaining 105 days (46 games) of the Vancouver Canucks season and jeopardizing his off-season free agent value. Malkin, meanwhile, received
Today In NHL History - Gino Odjick Runs Hasek
On January 15th in 1998, Gino Odjick hit Buffalo Sabres goalie Dominik Hasek in response to a Jay McKee facewash on Vancouver Canucks superstar Pavel Bure during the third period of a lopsided game beyond the reach of a win. Matthew Barnaby returned the favor moments later running Canucks goalie Sean Burke whilst Sabres enforcer Rob Ray paired off and exploited a mismatch with Vancouver captain

Since our update last week, the Bakersfield Condors played four games in six days both being a set of back-to-backs. First, they were in Abbotsford on January 6th and 7th, where Bakersfield took both games. The second set of back-to-back games for the week started on Saturday night against the San Jose Barracuda, where they…

Oilers’ Trent Frederic trending upward after being healthy scratched
Through the first half of the season, Trent Frederic’s start with the Edmonton Oilers after signing his eight-year deal hasn’t quite lived up to expectations, with only three points through 45 games. As someone on the outside looking in, you can only speculate as to why — perhaps he’s still feeling the effects of the…
The Day After 47.0: Oilers fall to Predators in second leg of back-to-back
No need to worry about whether or not the Edmonton Oilers can reach three consecutive wins. This time, the winning streak ended at one. After picking up a commanding 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday, the Oilers dropped the second leg of their back-to-back on Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators, falling 4-3…
We were right doubt to the Jets, and other midseason lessons from the prediction contest
One of my favorite posts of every year is the annual prediction contest, in which I give you ten simple questions about how the upcoming season will go, and you get them wrong. I love that for us, for two reasons. First, it helps me feel better about all of my own bad predictions. (The New Jersey Devils: maybe not elite Cup contenders after all.) But more importantly, it’s a way to remind us all about just how unpredictable the NHL has become. It’s easy to look back at any given season after i...
Leon Draisaitl vs. the Predators, Tristan Jarry’s Oilers return, and what Jake Walman brings on defence
After picking up a win on Monday night in Chicago, the Oilers were right back to work less than 24 hours later in Nashville for the second half of their back-to-back set. Edmonton was 8-1-1 in their last 10 games against the Predators, and while history was on their side, it was going to take…

Cross-Border Sledding
There has only been a handful of times where this blog has been involved in international hockey events with our neighbours to the south, but the arrival of today's news in my email may change that. I know I've had the privilege of covering the World Deaf Ice Hockey Championship back in 2009 and there have been a handful of US-based teams who have played at the Female World Sport School Challenge, but I've never been involved in a series of games between a US-based team and a Canadian-based te...
