Hispanic Hockey: The NHL's Next Frontier
October 21st, 2019 Back in the 1980s it seemed like hockey was a sport only played in Canada and a few scattered enclaves across the northeastern United States. Sure, those Soviets an ocean away were getting pretty good at the game, but the heart and sole of hockey was in the snow covered locales of North America....

NHL Rumors: Penguins, Coyotes, Devils, More
In today's edition of NHL rumors, do the Pittsburgh Penguins have a trade market for defenseman Erik Gudbranson, what are the Arizona Coyotes' plans with Niklas Hjalmarsson out three months, and how long does New Jersey Devils head coach John Hynes have to turn the team around? Also, NHL veteran Chris Stewart earned a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers after the team created cap space yesterday. Related: NHL Rumors: Sabres, Ducks, Islanders, More Will the Penguins Find a Suitor for Gudbranson? According to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun, the Penguins' strong play (4-2-0) to begin this season has alleviated the pressure on general manager Jim Rutherford to address the injuries to centers Evgeni Malkin and Nick Bjugstad. (from 'LeBrun’s observations: Quality coaching, Sandin’s demotion and Penguins shopping D-man,' Thet Athletic, 10/14/2019) Specifically, Jared McCann and rookie Sam Lafferty have stepped up and helped fill the void. However, despite the team's strong...
Coyotes Goaltending
Coyotes’ Question Marks in Net an Asset Instead of Issue
Arizona Coyotes goalie Antti Raanta may have just made his first start in almost a single calendar year, but the good news has prompted more questions than answers. Raanta vs. Kuemper vs. Comrie Raanta’s return has helped the Coyotes prove the impossible: Their future in net is both bright and murky all at once, without a clear No. 1 goalie. Not only that, but, for the moment, they don’t even have two goalies. They’ve got three, with Darcy Kuemper and Eric Comrie also on the roster right now. If this were multiple choice, good luck. The Coyotes ultimately did not make the playoffs last season and they’ll be hard-pressed to do so in 2020. However, that has more to do with the competition in the Pacific Division and Western Conference than it does with the talent on the roster, specifically in net. For example, it would be hard to blame the Coyotes’ goaltending for the lack of playoff appearances. Just look to career-backup Kuemper. He may have a modest 1-2 record so...

Avalanche Beat Coyotes - Burakovsky With OT Winner
DENVER — Andre Burakovsky scored at 3:29 of overtime and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 on Saturday night. Pavel Francouz had 34 saves in his first NHL start, and Nazem Kadri and Tyson Jost scored less than two minutes apart as the Avalanche started the season with four wins at home. Francouz was signed as a free agent in May 2018. His only two appearances before Saturday were in relief last season. Arizona Coyotes center Phil Kessel attempts a shot on Colorado Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz (Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports) Antti Raanta was equally sharp in his first start of the season, stopping 29 shots. Michael Grabner and Nick Schmaltz scored for the Coyotes. Burakovsky got the winner after a back-and-forth extra period. Burakovsky collected the puck close in and sent a high shot past Raanta for his second goal and second winner in as many games. After nearly 50 minutes without a goal, the teams combined for three in a span of 2 minutes,...
