What Are the Montreal Canadiens?

Going into the season, many hockey pundits and fans alike thought that the Montreal Canadiens were going to be a bad team. Can you blame them?

Lightning Need More Scoring From Bottom Six

With a 20-9-1 record and 41 points, the Tampa Bay Lightning look to be on their way to another playoff spot. Looks can be deceiving, though. While it’s true, they have played better defensively and gotten timely scoring when needed, they haven’t gotten much of the secondary scoring elite teams need to enjoy sustained success. […]

Oilers: Aim Higher

As the Oilers, defensive struggles continue, and Ken Holland works the phones. One name that keeps coming up is Joel Edmundson… oh boy.

Steven Stamkos’ Journey to 1,000 Points

15 years. That’s how long Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos has been in the NHL. It’s significant for another reason too.
