We might be getting a (slightly) better idea of who the Vegas Golden Knights are considering for their next head coach, but they certainly don’t appear to be in any hurry to anoint the new bench boss. With the New York Islanders tabbing Lane Lambert, the Montreal Canadiens taking the interim tag off of Martin
A number of kids who grew up local to Canada’s capital city have something of a shared memory. Maybe a Friday or a Saturday night, just shortly after 10:00PM.

Just a few years ago, the idea of the Chicago Blackhawks removing the captaincy from Jonathan Toews would’ve seemed unfathomable.
