It’s been a week, but most of us are still in shock. NHL GMs actually did it. They pulled off the impossible: meaningful midseason trades. More than one, even . Well, if they can do it, so can we. Welcome back to “Who Says No?”, the feature where you send me your trade proposals involving things that can not be traded. We tried this over the summer , with trades involving Brass Bonanza, Carlton the Bear and the 1999 Super Bowl. Were any of those trades realistic? No they were not. But neither ...
Game four of the Oilers’ five-game road trip took them to Boston for their first of two meetings with the Bruins. In a game where the details mattered, Edmonton kept things simple, stayed patient, and didn’t panic when adversity showed up.

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, was all set and ready for a night of laughs and hockey action while being live at a local rink, but Mother Nature had other ideas as Winnipeg was walloped by a snowstorm last night. Since then, it feels like I've been chasing my tail in trying to ensure plans are still on, coming up with contingency plans, and figuring out whether traveling to anywhere is worth the effort. The good news is that we figured it...

Leon Draisaitl’s done it, scoring his 1,000th point on Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins, becoming the fifth player in Edmonton Oilers history to hit the century mark with the club. Hitting the mark took him a year longer than Connor McDavid, who hit the mark in Nov. 2024 on a goal set up by…
If Russia were eligible to play in the 2026 Olympics, Vasily Podkolzin would have a strong case to make the team. Among Russian players, he is tied with Alex Ovechkin and Kirill Kaprizov for the second most five-on-five goals with nine, with Ivan Barbashev (10) just ahead. Podkolzin is +11 at five-on-five (29-18), and he’s…
Progress isn’t measured in declarations, or promises or locker room speeches.

After a slow start to the season by his lofty standards, Connor McDavid has finally caught fire. On Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins, he recorded his third four-point performance of the month, propelling him to the top of the NHL scoring leaderboard for the first time this season. Before this recent run of dominance,…
Seeing the Boston Bruins logo near the top of the Atlantic Division is a familiar sight – we just didn’t think we’d see it there this season. After finishing 5th worst overall a season ago, trading icon Brad Marchand, there was no signal of a rebuild in Beantown. Instead, the classic method of retool was…

You may recognize the title of this article as a line delivered by actor Daniel von Bargen as Chief Grady in the 2001 smash comedy movie Super Troopers . That's him pictured to the left in a GIF where he delivers the line, and it seems like the most appropriate line for what's happening in the EIHL with the Fife Flyers. They are routinely one of the worst teams in the EIHL dating back to 2019-20, and they are heading towards missing the playoffs for the third-straight season. So it's incompreh...

There’s a concept in international best-on-best hockey that some causal fans may not be completely familiar with, mainly because I made it up just now: The double player. It’s a player who’s represents his country both internationally and in the NHL. A double Canadian is a Canadian player who plays on a Canadian NHL team. A double American is an American player who plays on an American NHL team. Jack Eichel is a double American. Matthew Tkachuk became one when he forced his way out from Calgar...
