Tony DeAngelo on waivers as teammate (allegedly) punches him in face
NHL transactions are always hard to read. You never know if something is just salary cap manipulation, related to it or an actual move. The New York Rangers, for instance, have had to shuttle guys like K’Andre Miller and Kaapo Kakko on and off their taxi squad to save just thousands of dollars per d...
Is the Rangers' 2020 No. 1 overall pick, Alexis Lafreniere, butt?
Even with the delayed start to the season, and the much-discussed weirdness of it with no fans and only intra-division play, this was supposed to be a pretty exciting season for the New York Rangers.

The Tokyo 2020/2021 Olympics are off ... or not ... maybe
It would be very….I guess we call it “this age” as 2021 hasn’t really separated itself from 2020 yet, for leagues like the NBA, NHL, various soccer leagues, and UEFA as a whole to avoid the Olympics like the plague, and then watch them canceled....
As sports world feels the Bern of inauguration meme, Caps feel burn of more NHL COVID protocol theater
The NHL isn’t dealing with anything the other leagues haven’t already. On a day when the NBA had to postpone its sixth straight game for the Wizards, the NHL took the MLB route and pinned the blame on the players. Four Capital players were placed on the COVID unavailable list — Alex Ovechkin, Ilya S...
Hockey media's shameful Mike Babcock rehab tour is underway
You can always count on the hockey press to give time to a former coach who gave them time back in the day. That train is never late. One of the more archaic things about hockey, and a way it still drags miles behind, is that the press will almost always side with a coach and GM in a dispute with a ...
