  • What is The Cost of a Hometown Boy

    It was announced that GM Steve Yzerman’s time with the Detroit Red Wings came to an end after 10 straight losing seasons. He will serve as a Senior Advisor.

    The fabric of Red Wings hockey was built hard on their hardcore identity throughout the 90’s and early 2000’s. Unfortunately for them, they never valued the draft and gone with precision veterans.

    Now, Detroit hometown kid Dylan Larkin is close to entering the latter stages of his career and he wants to push out of the automotive city.

    Way to push him out Detroit.

    A regime change will certainly question a player and Larkin has been nothing but loyal to the franchise.

    Yzerman played and directed the team during the prestigious and nasty days of Red Wings hockey and finds himself in a quick search for a new general manager.

  • Do the Stanky Leg

    Logan Stankoven was not supposed to be here. He was traded from the Dallas Star and him, Jackson Blake, and Taylor Hall have been pure fire.

    The second line has gone out and played tremendous hockey. Through 13 games, Stankoven has tallied 9 goals and three assists to help push the second line.

    He is arguably a player that can only improve and develop from here on out. Ever since last year, Stankoven proved to be a catalyst and will have to do none other than the Stanky leg to boost the Carolina Hurricanes’ chances.

    Stanley Cup Final Game 1 between the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights starts tomorrow at 8 ET on ABC.

  • John Tortorella Fined

  • Flyers Go Up 2-0, Porter Martone Makes History

  • Philadelphia Flyers Cannot be Stopped

    The Philadelphia Flyers are playing well and crashing the boards more than ever. It is mainly their offense attacks that have teams budging for answers.

    For example, the Flyers recently promoted their 2025 first round, sizable pick, Porter Martone, to ice and has collected a goal off a rebound and chase away on net, so far. And where GM Daniel Briere and Keith Jones deserves credit is to draft supreme good talent and pair it with their current.

    So much for the Cutter Gauthier fallout. Gauther is leading the Anaheim Ducks with goals converted and are on the same brink as a playoff push as the Flyers. But, the biggest difference has not been Gauthier.

    It has been the team orchestra willing to nail down critical notes one-by-one. The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the New Jersey Devils and Jack Hughes in their last game and are taking no backseat.

    They want the Stanley Cup!

  • Bob Motzko’s Season Gets Worse

    Bob Motzko’s season (11-22-3) just got worse. Off the heels of Frozen Four appearances and runner-up finishes (2023), Motzko came close to what was preciously his which is the National championship at Minnesota.

    The two sides agreed to mutually part ways after failing with the current crop of prospects. There was a total collection of 15 All-Americans and 3 Olympians coached by Motzko. Minnesota’s last men’s title was in 2003, the year Motzko was still an assistant coach.

    He fought absolutely hard to reach the level of Brad Frost’s program who was also released by Minnesota. During 2023, Motzko had the championship in the palm of his hand but Quinnipac won in the last 10 seconds of overtime.

    With him gone, there is now talk 2025 title winning coach Pat Ferschweiler might succeed Motzko.

  • Analyzing the Auston Matthews Injury

    Auston Matthews is out for the season after tearing his MCL to Radko Gudas. Gudas, being notorious for that kind of exposure, has a hefty punishment to play, that is less violence.

    Gudas will only be serving a five game suspension but everyone knows how detrimental it is to lose a star such as Matthews. Czech Republic’s Gudas was waved away for his physicality on Sidney Crosby during Milan.

    It should teach NHL commissioner Gary Bettman from what is right and wrong. Normally, in the minor leagues, this stuff always blows away strong with an injury or two.

    Matthews was dealing with a lower body injury to start the season and now it is going to cost him his career in Toronto. Toronto currently ranks far off the playoff grid and project to trade Matthews by season’s end.

  • The Devil Screams New Jersey

    The devil screams New Jersey all because of New Jersey Devils general manager, Tom Fitzgerald. After one playoff win, Fitzgerald went ahead and executed moves such as Andre Pat, Dougie Hamilton, Jacob Markstrom, and more.

    Markstrom has recorded 13 W, 3.27 GAA, and .827 SV%. He was recently acquired in a trade that assumed confidence in multiple other players such as Jack Hughes, Luke Hughes, Nico Hischier, and Timo Meier.

    Fitzgerald has the subject of one that needs to be settled. This was once a promising core and now it is currently in last place of the NHL Eastern Conference.

  • Philadelphia Flyers Taking One Game at a Time

    The Philadelphia Flyers are taking one game at a time. They are feeding off each other in so many ways and coming together for a feel-good purpose of the NHL Playoffs.

    It was just recently announced that Christian Dvorak signed a five-year deal worth, $25 million and adding to that, they are building for tomorrow. For years, it was about the future, but now they have a purpose.

    They have a purpose, with Daniel Briere’s strength of confidence, to go out and win puck hockey. This is not two season’s ago, a team abandoned by Chuck Fletcher.

    These players want to play with each other and not go anywhere but Philadelphia. The ultimate deciding factor will come this postseason whether the Flyers must move on from several of their talent.

    For now, the Flyers will continue to prepare in the Metropolitan division to succeed with a 22-12-7 record and put their past feelings aside by claiming a playoff spot for the first time in five years.
