The Ducks Have Gotten So Good At Making Their Lives Difficult
The Ducks are either thermodynamically impervious to momentum, or, even more useful in the NHL playoffs, they have short memories. Goldfish-short. Short enough to win four separate games this postseason that they trailed by two goals, or to come back from an 0-2 hole in the conference semis, or to f...
Ducks OT Goal Evens West Final<em></em>
Anaheim thwarted Nashville’s OT-forcing comeback and ended the Predators’ home playoff win streak when Corey Perry’s drive went off PK Subban’s stick and ended up past Pekka Rinne 10:25 into the additional period, giving the Ducks a 3-2 win and leveling the Western Conference final at two games each...

Yes, The Senators Are Still Boring
The best way to shut anyone up—the best comeback for literally anything critical anyone is saying about your team—is to score a whole bunch of goals. The Senators, very accurately derided as a “boring” team to watch thanks to their neutral-zone-coagulating defense and a drowsy transition game, explo...
Nashville Is A Great Place To Play Hockey
For about 20 minutes of Game 3, the Predators were unstoppable. Filip Forsberg scored the tying goal 3:54 into the third period, and Roman Josi netted the power-play winner with 2:43 left, and in between were two goals waved off for goaltender interference. Throughout, the Predators surged, doubling...
Phil Kessel Yelled A Lot And Scored

Kessel is, obviously, one of the most talented offensive players in hockey—he’s quietly having a hell of a p...
Ryan Kesler Is Making Ryan Johansen So Mad
The Western Conference Finals were always going to be decided up top. Nashville, without a ton of scoring from its depth forwards, relies heavily on its top line centered by Ryan Johansen, and they’ve been ultra-hot in these playoffs. Anaheim’s shutdown line, anchored by Ryan Kesler, can certainly f...

The Sabres Will "Host" The Rangers In The NYC Winter Classic For A Specific Tax Purpose
The NHL announced Tuesday that the Sabres and Rangers will play the 2018 NHL Winter Classic at the Mets’ stadium in Queens.

The Penguins kept a lid on the Capitals tonight, scoring two goals on Caps mistakes to win.
