In the upcoming 2020-21 season, the Calgary Flames must show that they are on track to contend for a Stanley Cup in the next few years. That means making it out of the Canadian division playoffs (assuming one is established) and on to at least the equivalent of a conference final in whatever playoff format
Previews and Predictions
Defenseman Jamie Oleksiak has developed into one of the most valuable pieces within the Dallas Stars organization. Appearing in every regular-season and postseason game for Victory Green, including two game-winning goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, 2019-20 was nothing short of a breakout campaign for the former first-round pick in 2011. So much so, aside
With the newly proposed NHL divisional realignment, teams and fans will have to deal with facing a few new franchises regularly. Some of the matchups will be new, but others will reignite historic rivalries. As of this writing, the NHL is planning on playing every game in home arenas instead of hub cities. So, if
I was not expecting my Monday morning motivational tweet to come from HC Davos. But there it was for all Toronto Maple Leafs’ fans to see and celebrate. 👋🏼 Thank you and goodbye!Der Start in die @NHL-Saison rückt näher, Big Joe bekam gestern Abend den “Marschbefehl” der @MapleLeafs und verlässt in den nächsten Stunden die
There is arguably no team more dominant at the World Junior Championship (WJC) than Sweden. Since Dec. 26, 2006, they have strung together an incredible 51 wins in a row in the group stage, going undefeated. No one else is even close to that record; Canada is the next highest with 22 group-stage wins from
While the National Hockey League tries to salvage a successful 2021 season, the league is promoting a realignment of its current divisions. The realignment’s main purpose is to cut down travel for all teams, and, most notably, ceasing travel between the United States/Canada border. As both sides have their pandemic struggles, it is likely that
One thing that we know about the 2020-21 NHL season is that for the second straight year, it will a shortened season. During the upcoming season, there will be several members of the Boston Bruins that will be closing in on personal milestones. Let’s take a look at what milestones might be reached during the
The Edmonton Oilers are a storied franchise with a lot of history. Eight Hall of Famers have played for the team, alongside a multitude of other talented contributors. Many Oilers’ franchise records are well out of reach thanks to the greatest player to play the game, but there are plenty of milestones that are achievable
The Vancouver Canucks lost a lot and gained very little this offseason. When the dust had settled, Chris Tanev, Jacob Markstrom, and Josh Leivo were members of the Calgary Flames, Tyler Toffoli was with the Montreal Canadiens and Troy Stecher was in Motor City. When you take full stock of the situation, they lost their
Since the NHL crowned the Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup champions in September, the league has been saying that they hope to begin the 2020-21 season on Jan. 1. Now that we are in the second week of December, that seems unrealistic. The league has not made any announcement about what the season will look
The 2020-21 season will be anything but traditional. The NHL still doesn’t know exactly what the season will look like, so fans should expect the unexpected. Last season, the Los Angeles Kings finished with a record of 29-35-6, totaling 64 points, 28th in the league. The team wasn’t even close to a playoff spot last
When the 2019-20 season concluded this fall, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced Jan. 1 as the tentative date to start the next campaign. However, New Year’s Day is in less than a month, and we are still waiting to hear when training camps will open. It’s relatively safe to say the league is not going
The Minnesota Wild remain one of the most fascinating teams heading into 2020-21. After an early and short-lived showing in last season’s playoffs that saw them eliminated in four games at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks, a fresh outlook and new season (whatever that may look like) may be just what the doctor ordered
The COVID-19 pandemic is still sweeping the nation, which has resulted in no details of the 2020-21 NHL season becoming set in stone. Speculation runs rampant in the discussions that feature a wildly different season, but, for the Dallas Stars, it needs to be business as usual. With talks of division realignments, hub cities, and
The Stanley Cup is considered the hardest trophy to win in professional sports and even harder to win in back-to-back seasons. Since the salary cap was instituted ahead of the 2005-06 season, only one team has repeated as champions: the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2015-16 and 2016-17. Only three teams have pulled off the feat in
The Minnesota Wild roster has been completely revamped in the last few seasons, with the exception of a few key players such as wing Zach Parise, defenseman Ryan Suter and until the last few months center Mikko Koivu. This past season has been no different with player overhaul. The forwards have really seen some dramatic
The Boston Bruins are going through a changing of the guard on their defense this season. After spending his first nine years with the Bruins after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State in 2011, Torey Krug left during free agency in October to join the St. Louis Blues. Captain Zdeno Chara
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected, especially in the sports world. Tom Brady in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey. Seven-inning MLB games. The Stanley Cup in Canada. And due to a pandemic that has overstayed its welcome, 2021 will continue to throw us curveballs. It seems the Vancouver Canucks will
