The End Of A Forgettable Era

It became official today: the Buffalo Sabres will break their streak of fourteen seasons without appearing the playoffs thanks to the Pittsburgh Penguins defeating the Florida Panthers, officially eliminating the two-time defending champions from the playoffs. The last time that Buffalo was in the playoffs was 2011 where the Lindy Ruff-led Sabres qualified as the seventh-seeded team and fell in the opening round in seven games to the Philadelphia Flyers. They won't see the Flyers this year,...

CHN Player of the Year: Max Plante

If you ask pundits. If you ask coaches. If you ask scouts. The consensus is the same no matter what.Max Plante, Minnesota Duluth's sophomore forward, was the best player in college hockey this season.He doesn't necessarily lead in any one category nationally.

Does That Need Capitalization?

I know there likely aren't a lot of people across Canada who keep up with ECHL signings, but it's always cool to see a former U SPORTS player getting his shot with a professional team. For some, they've gone to the ECHL before landing in U SPORTS, but former Golden Bears defender Aidan De La Gorgendiere went full circle with a stop in the ECHL before playing with the University of Alberta followed by a jump to the NCAA with the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks. He signed with the ECHL's ...

How to make sense of a nonsensical NHL season? Just follow the chain of blowouts

How do you know if one NHL team is better than another? We used to thank that that was a relatively simple question. You could just look at the standings, and they’d tell you who was good and who wasn’t. That was kind of the standings page’s whole job. But that was before the league started handing out points for losing ( or did they ?), encouraging everyone to play for overtime during the regular season and basically making a team’s won-loss record all but useless on its own. And that’s in a ...

Adam Henrique on the board, Tristan Jarry solid, and the Oilers are tied for first in the Pacific Division

You know what’s cooler than the Oilers winning three straight games? Four games. Know what’s cooler than the Oilers winning for straight games? You guessed it. Five. Five straight games. And while Thursday’s win over the Chicago Blackhawks wasn’t without its speed bumps (read: posts), Edmonton found a way to win even when things didn’t…
