Ducks Lack Focus in Loss to Flyers

I watched a lot of great hockey today; unfortunately, it was at the World Junior Championship.

Sorokin Is The Man on The Island

When talking about New York and NHL goaltenders, one often first mentions New York Rangers masked man Igor Shesterkin. This is with good reason.

Singing the Blues

It was not all that long ago that the St. Louis Blues were Stanley Cup champions. The franchise accomplished that feat in 2019.
