Rick Tocchet announced on Friday that defenceman Filip Hronek would be shut down for the remainder of the season. Hronek appeared in four games for the Canucks this season, totaling one point in those four games. Hronek, 25, was acquired just days before the trade deadline in exchange for multiple draft picks, including a conditional […]
There is no denying that the Boston Bruins‘ number one need is top-six center. Since the departures of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, Pavel Zacha and Charlie Coyle have performed admirably, however, this glaring void reared its ugly head again this postseason when Zacha and Coyle combined for two goals in 13 playoff games. Without […]
Boston Bruins General Manager has a lot on his plate this off-season. The club needs a top-six center, a winger to potentially replace the departing Jake DeBrusk, and defensive depth on the left side. With Hampus Lindholm and Mason Lohrei, the Bruins are set with what appears to be two very good left-shot defensemen. After […]
The Penguins won their third game straight when they played against the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, February 27th at the Rogers Arena. Rickard Rakell scored twice and Sidney Crosby recorded two assists in the 4-3 overtime victory. Crosby recorded his 1,000th even-strength point, becoming the ninth player in NHL history with this amount of even-strength […]
The National Hockey League has suspended forward from the Los Angeles Kings, Tanner Jeannot, for three games after committing an illegal check to the head on Vancouver Canucks’ Brock Boeser. The suspension comes a day after Jeannot shoulder-checked Boeser in the jaw/head area from an open-ice hit during the first period between the Kings and […]
Despite a rally late in the third period, the New Jersey Devils fell to the Vancouver Canucks 6-4 on Saturday night at the Rock. The combination of a slow start in the second half of a back-to-back and a growing injury list proved too much for New Jersey, and the Devils dropped to 21-15-2 on […]
As the Washington Capitals faced the Vancouver Canucks on Super Bowl Sunday, all eyes were on Alex Ovechkin, who entered the game on a four-game goal streak. Ovechkin, 38, has been uncharacteristically cold this season, scoring just 13 goals in 48 games, whereas last season, the winger tallied 42 in 73 games. An early-season scoring […]
“Game Time Decision” Of course, Leon Draisaitl was going to play in Game 2. Hockey is a magical sport where athletes pretend that they’re not injured. He scored on the powerplay, added 3 assists, and even took a face-off on a penalty kill. Did any of that look like a hurting player to you? All […]
They pulled a Dallas. On Wednesday night, the Edmonton Oilers did their best Dallas Stars impression and opened the second round by blowing a 3 goal lead in Game 1 against the Vancouver Canucks. It’s only the first game; you have to win four, and every series is long. But that loss still stings pretty […]
Welcome back, friends. A whole week without Playoff hockey was torture, but at least we will see more of it. The Edmonton Oilers go from playing against a team that had more success with a defensive system, to now playing against a team fairly similar to them in terms of playing style. There is a […]
