Penguins' Transition Behind the Bench Should Provide a Spark

January 11th, 2021 After falling to the Montreal Canadiens in the opening round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs, many questions arose about the state of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Dear Santa: Seattle Kraken's 2020-21 Christmas Wish List

December 23rd, 2020 The National Hockey League's newest franchise, the Seattle Kraken, has a rather different wish list than any of its future opponents this year because they're in a very different spot.

Berube Offers Blues' Young Stars a Familiar Face

Berube Offers Blues' Young Stars a Familiar Face

December 22nd, 2020 Craig Berube coached a number of players on his current roster before they ever put on a St. Louis Blues jersey. Take Jordan Binnington for example. On the surface, it might seem as though he had a quick, seamless rise to prominence. Soon after he put on a Blues uniform in December of 2019, he was masterful in net, and the team quickly...
Dean Evason's Expectations as First-Year Coach of the Wild

Dean Evason's Expectations as First-Year Coach of the Wild

December 13th, 2020 While Minnesota Wild fans were able to get a glimpse of how the team plays underneath Dean Evason during the last 12 games of the regular season before the shutdown, this will be his first full year as the head coach after the firing of Bruce Boudreau back in February.

Wild's Dean Evason Takes on New Role

Wild's Dean Evason Takes on New Role

November 5th, 2020 The Minnesota Wild seemed to be doing fairly well back in the middle of February, but not good enough to keep former head coach Bruce Boudreau around. He was let go of his duties following a devasting loss to the New York Rangers where the Wild gave up a two-goal lead in the third period before losing in the shootout. Assistant...
Kraken Need to Move Quick on Head Coach Pick

Kraken Need to Move Quick on Head Coach Pick

November 3rd, 2020 There are a lot of things the Seattle Kraken can't do yet.

A recent National Hockey League new and rumors article mentioned an interview Ron Francis gave to Pierre...
Roger Neilson: Coaching Genius & Innovator

Roger Neilson: Coaching Genius & Innovator

October 29th, 2020 The late Roger Neilson will forever go down as one of the most unique coaches in NHL history.

The Avalanche's Jared Bednar is the Man For The Job

The Avalanche's Jared Bednar is the Man For The Job

October 3rd, 2020 The Colorado Avalanche have become a dominant team in the NHL.

Maple Leafs New Coach Paul MacLean Continues to Shake it Off

Maple Leafs New Coach Paul MacLean Continues to Shake it Off

September 27th, 2020 When the Toronto Maple Leafs signed Paul MacLean, I immediately thought of Taylor Swift. Why? Do they look alike? Sing at a similar pitch? No, but in my mind, these two are forever linked. Paul MacLean is the new assistant coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs Photo BY Canadian Press. June, 2011. Rewind to Dec. 8, 2014, a day Ottawa...

Boughner Gives These Sharks Their Last Chance to Contend

August 27th, 2020 It’s no secret that the 2019-20 season didn’t go as planned for the San Jose Sharks.
