Last night’s WJC bash/clash between USA and Canada lived up to its billing… But Canada should have probably won. Five on Five they were the better team, but huge gaps in discipline as well as a bunch of skaters who looked like they had given up on Team Chemistry began to unravel and try to w...
Just a quick hint here. I’ve been getting a lot of sources telling me roughly the same thing. The Rangers are after JT Miller and this weekend is the big push to get it done…. It’ll be interesting to see if Kreider is involved in the deal. Back to working the phones...
Maple Leafs The Toronto Maple Leafs are resting on what could perhaps be a huge benefit to them moving forward. This team obviously plays well enough to win and be a playoff team without Auston Matthews…..and Matthews is definitely not well enough to play here. By putting him on LTIR, the Ma...
I’m being told to keep a good eye on JT Miller today. “Things are in the works” as they say. While the Rangers seem like they are definitely keyed in on Miller, I am told that they’re not the only team. The Sabres have also had talks with Vancouver…. Very recently. Howevegoing told put it...
Yesterday, USA won their second straight U20 World Junior Championships, defeating Finland 4-3 in overtime. Afterwards, I was watching the panel with James Duffy and Bob McKenzie discussing what is always talked about when Canada fails and the US succeeds. Has America become the dominant hockey...
It’s time for everybody’s favorite game, “You’re the GM.” There’s a lot of talk out there right now about the relationship between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson. I’m told a lot of it is overblown, and as others have said, every team has players that don’t get along. But t...
Jonathan Toews Captain Canada. In all likelihood, a Hall of Famer. Stanley Cups. Personal trophies and more… and also an unquestionable leader whom any team would love to add for a playoff run… Jonathan Toews says he is coming back to the NHL. Anyone who knows him would be foolish to...
Keeping an eye on this one. I am told Rangers ownership is all over management to make a major move here… More to come…...
Just a quick hit to start your Sunday The Montréal Canadiens are in the playoff hunt, and have just gotten Patrik Laine back. They are a team many felt was in for a long rebuild. But then again, this is Montreal….. Talking to a source yesterday and again this morning, it appears they are...
Really strong strong signing.. I know I’m probably the biggest Zach Aston-Reese fan in the NHL but I think this kid is really special actually. I honestly think that he fills a role better than almost anyone else fills his sort of role. Ever since I watched him as a Penguin, I’ve been imp...
It’s been over a year now since John Klingberg had hip surgery to fix a problem that had essentially taken the one time power puck moving defenseman we all knew in Dallas, down to a struggling Leafs D-man. In the months since the surgery, Klingberg has been working hard behind the scenes to...
Talking to some sources today and I wanted to throw this out there for you all… It appears like the Boston Bruins are considering a complete retool here and may become sudden sellers in a market that currently lacks sellers… This will be a rarity for this team, which has managed to stay compe...
Things are starting to heat up nicely in the NHL. Rumors are finally coming to the forefront as teams are starting to fine tune and many are wanting to get some business done before the Four Nations on February 12. On the Bruins: With Cam Neely coming out and saying that the team is likely to...
Update: John Klingberg to the Oilers appears done…. New York Islanders Center, Brock Nelson, could become the major domino in the trade deadline, which is now just 49 days away. On any other team in the NHL, I would say, pending a UFA of Nelson’s stature would be absolutely moved for a f...
Quick hit your Saturday…. The Devils are working multiple angles right now to try to require a top six forward. A lot of people believe the eastern conference is pretty wide open after the Panthers, so adding a player here here or there could be the difference…. I spoken already about their i...
I just spoke with the sour ce via text five minutes ago. He confirmed the Pendguins have been calling around and have talked to at least four teams over this weekend regarding a trade. Mostly Eastern teams, but one source is convinced that they have made at least a few calls to Vancouver about JT...
Quick hit this morning with a lot more on the way… At the end of last week, JT Miller was almost scratched from a game as final preparations were underway in a trade that would send JT finally back to the Rangers. This has been a long saga and I’m sure Miller will be happy when this is o...
There’s been some budding speculation that Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones could become available based on the timeline of the organization. Jones still has 5 years remaining on his contract, which has a cap hit of $9.5 million a year. Seth is also 30 years old. By the time the Ch...
On Jonathan Toews… It’s starting to look more and more like Jonathan Toews could return to the NHL before the trade deadline. This is quite impressive for a guy who hasn’t played for a couple years. But then again, this is a player that we all know as a ton of heart. Currently, I’ve...
