Two overtime games, and one absolute barnburner in front of a wild crowd in Florida. The road teams went 3-0. No one held more than a one-goal lead. The second day of the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs brought the heat. And to think, half of the series havent even started yet. Two of those series yet to start involve No. 1 seeds. The Colorado Avalanche were the top team in the West Division, and also took home the Presidents Trophy as the No. 1 overall seed. Theyll begin their series against the St....

Of the 15 games Dallas lost, three came from the Golden State Warriors; a team that barely sniffed the playoffs in the 2000s.

One word is rarely a window into the soul. But by saying so little, Mike Smith revealed so much about the competitive fire that rages in him with a response to a question earlier this month. Reporter: “Is there extra satisfaction for you putting probably the final nail in Calgary’s playoff hopes here?” Smith: “Yup.” “To say Mike Smith is very competitive, that’s probably an understatement,” said Marty Turco, Smith’s former teammate on the Dallas Stars and one of his close frie...

Knights on Ice — Out of Their Hands From: 60-minute domination of the San Jose Sharks. The final score was 6-0. But the battle for the top spot in the Honda West Division is out of their hands. Yes, they still lead Colorado by 2 points and tonight’s final game for Colorado will determine if the VGK not only win the division, b...

Have we all calmed down after having a good night’s sleep? The NHL went through a ringer over the last 72 hours or so, centered around the Washington Capitals, New York Rangers, Tom Wilson, and T.J. Oshie (and it’s not even done yet). As the dust hopefully settles on what was a ridiculous chain of events in the past few days, we look to the Chicago Blackhawks to give us a sense of stability and familiarity in the hockey world. It will all feel right again when the Carolina Hurricanes contin...

Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports Carter Hart is supposed to be the goalie that ends the Philadelphia Flyers decades-long search for a franchise netminder. During the first two years of his career he flashed that ability and gave Flyers fans hope that he could not only be the player to secure that position for the next decade but that he might even be able to help turn them back into a Stanley Cup contender. None of that has happened this season. Instead, Hart has been one of the leagues ...
