It isn't often that a player with NHL experience finds himself accepting a contract offer from an ECHL team, but we've seen a few players turn what some believe to be a "last-ditch effort" to make their way back to the NHL into a long-term residence with their new team. Goaltender Zane McIntyre is in that situation now as he signed a standard player's contract today with the Tahoe Knight Monsters after Jordan Papirny was recalled by the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights. McIntyre's return to Nort...

Friday night is the scariest night of the year. Call it spooky season, or call it fright-fest, or whatever else you might want, but it’s the one night where everyone huddles up and lets cold shivers race up and down our spines. Yes, it’s October 31 – the last night for NHL teams to get within four points of a playoff spot before Elliotte Friedman’s fabled Curse of November 1st kicks in and all but officially starts eliminating also-rans from the playoff race. Oh, it’s also Halloween, if you’re...

So far, the reviews for the new Broadway production, The New York Rangers, are getting panned by critics. With a new director (Stanley Cup champion coach Mike Sullivan) and a disgruntled leading man (Artemi Panarin), when will this production finally find its rhythm? These dress rehearsals are getting a thumbs-down from Siskel and Ebert. Winless at…

Tuesday night against Utah was the first time in roughly nine games that I felt like the Oilers gave us a glimpse of their “A” game. We really haven’t seen them reach that level since their win over the Vancouver Canucks back on October 11. Since then, they’ve had three other victories, but none of…

This isn't going to be a profoundly-deep update for anyone who may be wanting them, but I've been doing a few updates on the ol' blog for things that needed some attention. Despite this blog getting close to the 6650-article mark, today will have no talk about the future of this site or what I may be planning to do. To be completely honest, I really haven't given it much thought, but I was clicking through a few of the menu options and I noticed that there were things that needed updating. Tha...

Everything was looking good for the Montreal Canadiens as they started the season. They had their star players under contract and willing to put in the effort to win games, they had a revamped blueline with all sorts of talents on it, and their goaltending was solid while being underrated. Head coach Martin St. Louis even smiled a few times during the preseason, but, all jokes aside, it seemed like the Canadiens had all their weapons armed and ready to go as they hunted down a playoff spot thi...

It’s been 155 days since Zach Hyman last donned the Edmonton Oilers uniform. His last time lacing up the skates came on May 27th earlier this year in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, when he was hit awkwardly by then Dallas Stars winger Mason Marchment. While the play was seemingly innocuous, Hyman dropped…

On October 28th in 2010, Dallas Stars forward Brad Richards fired a blistering center ice slapshot over Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick and through the glass with three minutes remaining in the final frame. The Kings topped the Stars that night 5-2 before the then-smallest crowd in Dallas Stars history, announced as 11,306 but closer to 5,000, owing in part to fans staying home to

Message sent. Message received. The Edmonton Oilers’ performance in the first period of Tuesday’s game against the Utah Mammoth was nothing short of unacceptable, and it was made well known. “We kind of needed a bit of a wake-up in between the first and second,” said Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. “Knobber coming in, talking about…
