Carolina Hurricanes

The Jordan Staal Conn Smythe win was the story last night, and the Carolina Hurricanes were not leaving Las Vegas without the cup. Congrats to the Canes and their fans, it has been a long time coming to be honest. They have been a premier team in the Eastern Conference for damn near a decade...

Jordan Staal’s scoring streak through five straight Stanley Cup Finals games has been the story of this series, and last night only made the case louder. Once considered regular season merchants have done a complete 180 on the narrative this season. They also did a 180 on their second period performances throughout this series. Carolina...

Holy shit, do we have a great final on our hands. Both games were incredible theatre. Both games were one by one goal with the most recent game reaching OT. So far, this series has been everything you could ask for as a hockey fan. Oh, and a Dylan Larkin trade request just came out...

That is exactly why the Stanley Cup Final is the best thing in sports. Carolina jumped out to a two-goal lead only to lose 5-4 in regulation. The game was fast, chaotic, and captivating.

The always underachieving, regular season merchant, Carolina Hurricanes finally broke through.

Connor Hellebuyck trade rumors are starting to bubble up, and that’s only the second most interesting thing going on in the NHL right now.

The NHL playoffs 2026 are starting to show who actually belongs and who was just along for the ride. The following all took place in the year 1975. Gerald Ford was President of the United States. Jaws was the top movie in the world. Gas was only 53 cents a gallon and the Thrilla in...

A set of back-to-backs and in a great position to solidify a playoff opportunity was largely squandered by Pittsburgh this weekend. On the surface, the Penguins did fine to get 2 of 4 points and losing against a fresh Carolina isn’t too worrisome. However, the Penguins overall play is beginning to become startling. The Penguins...

The Penguins have not won in Carolina since 2018. They’ve played there twice within the last week and that unfortunately hasn’t changed. Now, last night the Penguins had absolutely no business winning the game. They played like complete dogshit for the first two periods. Every defenseman outside of Erik Karlsson was handing the puck to...

During the summer the Penguins were rumored to be the only seller in the entire NHL. The Sharks, Blackhawks, and Predators were all believed to be buyers for various reasons, but the Penguins were believed to be the only team that wanted to strip it all down. Turns out, the Penguins didn’t really strip the...

Connor McDavid is the best hockey player on the planet and Edmonton is wasting him. This isn’t about highlights or point totals, this is about prime years slipping away. He’s putting up numbers that would make most of the league blush. Over a thousand career points, multiple Art Ross trophies, multiple Hart trophies, Conn Smythe-level...
