For McDavid, he’s faced some criticism all…

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that I go out of my way to celebrate one of the rarer feats in hockey whenever and wherever it happens. The man to the left is the latest player to accomplish such a feat, and the rookie Tri-City Americans netminder also had himself one heckuva Wednesday. That player is Xavier Wendt from Plymouth, Minnesota - about 45 minutes east of Grand Casinos Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota - and the 17 year-old netminder hit a milestone and added his na...

Good news Oilersnation: The Edmonton Oilers have played quite well in four of their last five games. Bad news: They only have two wins in those five games. The Oilers need to string together some wins, and Seattle is a team they need to beat. Their last five games saw them lose 2-1 in OT…
