Canadiens Can't Go Wrong Between Poehling and Evans
November 26th, 2020 One way to look at it would be that the Montreal Canadiens don’t have a bona-fide No. 4 center heading into 2020-21. However, the glass-half-full optimist would say they have two waiting in the wings and the current situation is the perfect proving ground for either Jake Evans or Ryan Poehling to show their worth in the...

Canadiens Need To Keep Jordan Weal
September 21st, 2020 With one year left on his contract, Jordan Weal is the perfect depth-role player for the Montreal Canadiens heading into the 2020-2021 season, whenever that may be.

Transitioning Ducks Should Go Bargain Hunting Again
April 27th, 2019 Artemi Panarin, Jeff Skinner, Joe Pavelski, Matt Duchene, Kevin Hayes and Erik Karlsson all have more than just their status as high-priced, high-profile free agents in common. They will all NOT be members of the 2019-20 Anaheim Ducks when the season begins. While fans might want general manager Bob Murray to make a major splash in free...

Habs Bergevin Holds Steady
March 2nd, 2019 The Montreal Canadiens' final game before the trade deadline was against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and general manager Marc Bergevin was in attendance to see how his team would perform.

Battle of Pennsylvania' Hinges on Game 4
April 18th, 2018 I have always believed that Game 4, in a series, is always the most important to win. It's especially crucial when a series is at two games to one. The difference between being tied at two and being down three games to one is a vast gap. The Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins face-off in another one of these pivotal matchups on...
Are the Flyers a Playoff Team?
July 15th, 2017 As the fourth season of Ron Hextall’s tenure as Philadelphia Flyers GM approaches, even the most patient fans have to be wondering when the team will reemerge as a perennial playoff contender.

Should Leafs Offer Weal a Deal?
June 29th, 2017 Jordan Weal isn't a household name by any means. In fact, when the 2016-17 NHL campaign came to a close, the North Vancouver, British Columbia, native had skated in just 37 career games. So, how is it that the UFA is attracting such an immense amount of attention - as well as suitors - from throughout the league? Well, as I wrote in...
