Pre-Scout: Czechia brings confidence to rematch with Canada: ‘We let them win the first one’
Didn’t we just see this game? We sure did.

Meet the Sellers: With playoffs likely out of the picture, Maple Leafs could be big players at deadline
It looks like the team without the longest active playoff streak will miss the playoffs in 2025-26. Who knew that losing a superstar winger like Mitch Marner would set back the Toronto Maple Leafs as much as it would? After being bounced in Game 7 in the second round to the Florida Panthers, the Maple…
No Red Leafs In Canada West
Despite the logic of having a third BC-based university hockey program under Canada West's watch, the dream of seeing the Simon Fraser University Red Leafs make the jump to U SPORTS hockey is now dead-on-arrival with the news that was reported yesterday. I know that SFU is experiencing a "tightening of the purse strings" like most of the big universities across Canada, but the men's at-large hockey program that played against both U SPORTS and NCAA competitors whenever possible is officially b...

Monday Scramble: McDavid set to smash Olympic NHLer record, France’s fighter suspended, love for Slovakia, and no thanks to Foegele
How would Team Canada do without Connor McDavid? Now Canada would be fine, obviously. Luckily, we don’t have to find out. But the absolute dominance that McDavid has displayed in just three games is arguably the best three-game stretch for any NHL player in the Olympics. Usually, offence cannibalizes on a stacked team like this….
Movie Review: The Boys Of '80
Because I'm not allowed to live-blog an Olympic hockey game due to broadcast rights, I decided that I needed to post something else today that stuck with the Olympic hockey theme, but wouldn't break any rules. After all, I don't want the IOC shutting down HBIC over me publishing my thoughts as I watch Canada and Switzerland battle today. That being said, I decided to dive into the Netflix-produced Miracle: The Boys of '80 , directed by Max Gershberg and Jacob Rogal. This documentary gathers a ...

Team Canada’s men’s hockey team went a perfect 3-0 in the preliminary round, scoring 20 goals to lead the Winter Olympics, while netminders Jordan Binnington and Logan Thompson combined for a 0.954 save percentage, which is also the best in the tournament so far.

Sharks place former Oilers winger Jeff Skinner on unconditional NHL waivers for purpose of termination
After a tumultuous 2024-25 season with the Edmonton Oilers, which saw him in and out of the lineup, Jeff Skinner signed last summer with the San Jose Sharks, hoping for a greater opportunity. That appeared to be the case early on in the season, but in mid-January, Skinner found himself a healthy scratch, missing each of…
Weekend rankings, Olympic edition: Ghosts, bridesmaids, a fight and more
Welcome to the NHL weekend rankings, in which we don’t have an NHL to talk about. You may have noticed that the league is on hold while some tournament is played over in Italy. It feels like it’s kind of a big deal. People seem to be enjoying it. OK, so let’s go with the flow. It’s like the old cliché goes: When in Rome, or at least in the same country as Rome, do as every other hockey writer in the world is doing and serve up some Olympic hockey takes. This week, we’ll take the rough format o...
