NWHL November Recap
December 1st, 2019 It was a slow month as far as games go for the NWHL in November, as they went on a two-week hiatus for the Four Nations Cup which was canceled after the schedule was already announced. Oops. Due to that, there were only a total of seven games, but there was still a ton of drama, two hat tricks, our first shutout of the season, and lots...
Palmieri Starring for Slumping Devils
November 28th, 2019 As the New Jersey Devils past the quarter mark of the NHL season, the bright spots have been few and far between for a team that has started 8-11-4 (20 points) through 23 games.

With so many blown leads it likely has the fan base feeling like they are watching the movie Groundhog Day. Remember the scene where Bill Murray’s character keeps stepping off the curb into a puddle of icy water? That’s been the third period for...
Senators Vets Lead the Way in Road Triumph
November 14th, 2019 The Ottawa Senators haven’t had the start they wanted this season but things may not be as bad as they appear on the surface of their 7-10-1 record. Led by the first hat trick of Jean-Gabriel Pageau’s career (regular season) and Craig Anderson’s 21 saves the Senators picked up their second road win of the season when they defeated...
