After being in first place in the Atlantic Division in January, around the Olympic break, looking like a playoff spot was basically a lock, and at the trade deadline the Detroit Red Wings traded an unprotected first-round pick to push for the postseason. And yet… here we are. The Red Wings have now missed the playoffs for the tenth year in a row. The NHL's newest longest active postseason drought now that their divisional rival, the Buffalo Sabres are back in the dance this y

To start off, I don’t want people to think this is a heat-of-the-moment type of blog post. I’ve actually had this idea sitting in my drafts for about a month. This conversation really started at a Legends pub in Richmond, BC, about a month ago, when my friends and I were just talking hockey and discussing how good Tampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov actually is. Then, this past Thursday, I got the chance to watch Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning absolutely dominate

I’ve grown up loving and playing the game of hockey since I was five years old. At one point, I probably thought I could be an NHL player, but it turns out the NHL wasn't looking for perennially mediocre rep hockey players, and it became obvious it was not going to happen. But along the way, I’ve had favourite players whose games I've really connected with. When I first started watching hockey consistently in the late 2000s or early 2010s, my first favourite player was Michae

On Tuesday, March 17th (my birthday by the way), the Montreal Canadiens picked up a massive win against the Boston Bruins in one of their most important games, if not the most important game of their season to date. This win kept them in third place in the Atlantic Division, two points up on the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins for that final divisional playoff spot, and within striking distance of the Tampa Bay Lightning for second. With 15 games to go, according to Money

Tomorrow night, I will be travelling to New York City, and this will be my first time not only visiting the Big Apple, but it will also be my first time travelling solo. I’ll likely have a post later on in the week when I come back about my experience and how it went. But before I leave tomorrow, I want to relate this to my passion, which is sports. And New York is obviously a pretty unique sports market, as it has multiple teams in multiple leagues. Because of that, I wanted

With the Olympic break coming to an end this Wednesday, NHL hockey will return for the stretch run of the season, with each team having roughly 26 to 28 games remaining on their schedule. With that in mind, I wanted to make a few predictions for not the remainder of the regular season, but also for how the playoff race could shake out over the next few months. Below seven predictions for the rest of the NHL’s 2025–26 season. Sidney Crosby's Injury Sinks Penguins Out of the Pl

Earlier this morning, I went over to a friend’s house at 5 a.m. to watch Team Canada and Team USA battle it out for Olympic gold at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games. It was probably one of the greatest hockey games I’ve ever watched, and unfortunately, the team I was cheering for, Team Canada, is leaving Italy with silver as opposed to gold. That said, there’s no denying that this was hockey being played at the highest possible level. There was so much talent on the ice,

It’s been about 24 hours now since the Vancouver Canucks traded Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for a package that includes Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi, Liam Ohgren, and Minnesota’s 2026 first-round pick. After having some time to think about it, and with more information coming out, it has become clear to me the Canucks had to do this. Elliotte Friedman mentioned on Hockey Night in Canada that Hughes told the team about a month ago that he wasn’t planning on signi

The latest rumblings around the NHL suggest that the Vancouver Canucks are looking to get younger. Team president Jim Rutherford has openly stated that the organization needs to bring in youth, and on the surface, that makes perfect sense. The Canucks currently sit 30th in the league, their roster is heavy with veterans, and the franchise appears to be sliding nowhere fast. But if Vancouver is genuinely committed to getting younger, then a difficult question must be asked: Wh

The Montreal Canadiens couldn’t have asked for a worse week. After being blown out 6–1 by the Los Angeles Kings, the Habs followed it up by getting routed 7–0 by the Dallas Stars. Both games being on home ice and both were a complete dismantling that exposed every current flaw in their game. Despite starting the season strong, the Canadiens are now trending in the wrong direction, and these back-to-back lopsided losses have forced a hard look at where things stand. But there
