Just a day after this trade was announced, it is still difficult for me believe it actually this actually happened. The Chicago Blackhawks traded the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, the 45th overall pick in the same draft, and defenseman Louis Crevier to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for defenseman Bowen Byram and forward Jordan Greenway. While Greenway is part of the package, there is no question that Byram is the centerpiece of the deal coming Chicago's way. Byr

Last week, once the NHL season ended and the Carolina Hurricanes hoisted the Stanley Cup, I did what I always do when a season ends for a sport I love… I immediately went to check the title odds for the next season's championship. One thing immediately caught my eye. The Florida Panthers were sitting at 12-1 to win the Stanley Cup. I know they missed the playoffs this past season, but that was largely due to injuries. Alexander Barkov missed the entire year after suffering a

So last week it came out that Mike Babcock is most likely going to be making his return to the NHL, as the Edmonton Oilers were keen on hiring him as their new head coach. Since those reports about the Oilers' interest in him came out, there was an investigation looking into the 2023 allegations against him in Columbus, where he was hired as head coach in July, never even coached a game, and resigned before training camp after reports surfaced about him wanting to see photos

While the Stanley Cup Final is still underway and we haven't crowned a champion yet, the NHL offseason is right around the corner. With a few days between games, I've been thinking about some of the storylines that could become reality very soon for this summer. Some of these predictions might seem reasonable. Others might sound completely crazy. But every offseason, things happen that nobody sees coming, and these are a few gut feelings I have based on the tea leaves around

And that's all she wrote for the Montreal Canadiens' 2025-26 season. The Canadiens' remarkable playoff has come to an end after a 6-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final. While Montreal managed to take Game 1 by a score of 6-2, the reality is that Carolina controlled this series from Game 2 on. Even though Games 2 and 3 required overtime, the Hurricanes were the better team in both contests. The final two games weren't particularly compet

Tonight, the Montreal Canadiens fell 4-0 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final and now trail the series 3-1 against the Carolina Hurricanes. And honestly? After Game 1, where the Habs won 6-2 on the road in Carolina, us Montreal fans probably got a little carried away. Because pretty much ever since that first period of the series, it’s been downhill. Sure, they managed to force Games 2 and 3 to overtime, but tonight was rough. No way around it. But I’ve been seeing Cana
