The series is all tied up at 2 and the Blues killer instinct just hasn’t been there. It’s fairly obvious and needs to change starting with tonight’s Game 5. Since squandering a 2-0 series lead, the Blues seem to have given all the momentum they created on home ice right back to the Kings for ...

With rumors swirling about possible moves, the hockey world is abuzz wondering who will be changing teams and what deals will be made before the April 3 trade deadline.

The short-term actions of the Buffalo Sabres will have significant long-term ramifications for the future of the franchise. In typical Sabres fashion, the team has won three games in a row to give fans just enough hope to not lose faith in the season. The squad’s performance over the next five games may play a ...
Last place in the rough North East Division. In the past five years, they’ve made the playoffs twice, only to lose in the first round.
