Talking Hockey On A Sunday Morning -
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,- Two years from now, Auston Matthews’ contract is up with the Maple Leafs, as is Connor McDavid’s with the Oilers. And if Matthews doesn’t have a Stanley Cup after 12 seasons and McDavid doesn’t have one after 13, can’t you just see the two close friends, with the same agent, winding up on the same team in free agency? NBA-style super-team free agency … Gary Bettman can preach all he wants about the greatness of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but when two of the three best teams in the Western Conference will be eliminated in the first two rounds, the system seems patently unfair.- The legend, Harry Sinden, used to contend that the team that was the strongest over the final 20 games of the regular season will win the Stanley Cup. This year, the Sinden theory would take a hit: The team with the best finishing record is the Philadelphia Flyers.- Deadline for NHL award voting was Friday. Anyone who voted for Zach

Buffalo Sabres vs Boston Bruins: NHL playoffs schedule announced -
This is a headline I have never written before. I cannot express enough how much my heart is bursting with pride and Buffalove doing this post. Earlier today the NHL announced the full schedule for the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, and for the first time in the social media era, the Buffalo Sabres are involved. They didn’t sneak in as a WC2 wildcard team that got hot late like we had hoped and prayed they would in a couple of springs over the last decade and a half. Instead more often than not this is the time when we start reading T McGee’s Mock Drafts with renewed interest because our high NHL Entry Draft position was being confirmed. But not this year. This season looked like it was headed down the drain early on, but FGMKA Kevyn Adams had to be sacrificed for the Sabres to turn things around and finally buy into Lindy Ruff’s method. And from then on there was no stopping the Sabres as they became the hottest team from Dec 9th (when they wer

Bones Has Beef In Columbus & More Eastern Matchups Get Locked In | Daily Faceoff Live -
Welcome to Daily Faceoff Live! Rick Bowness didn’t hold back. After Game 82, Bowness publicly called out the Columbus Blue Jackets — and now the big question is what changes could be coming in Columbus this summer. We break down what went wrong and which moves could reshape the Blue Jackets heading into next season. In the Western Conference, injury concerns are already creating uncertainty. The Dallas Stars will be without Roope Hintz for Games 1 and 2, and Miro Heiskanen’s status remains unclear. How much does this shift the balance in the Stars vs Wild series — and does Minnesota suddenly become the favorite? We also rank the NHL’s biggest disappointments and debate which teams — Toronto, Winnipeg, Nashville, Detroit, and New Jersey — will look the most different next season. In The Film Room, we take a closer look at key playoff matchups, including Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia and Montreal vs Tampa Bay.

Rick Bowness Snaps and Ovechkin's Future ft. Tarik El-Bashir | The Sheet with Jeff Marek -
Jeff Marek is back with another edition of The Sheet, diving into one of the biggest looming questions around the NHL right now — the future of Alex Ovechkin. Marek is joined by Tarik El‑Bashir to break down what comes next for the Washington captain and whether Tuesday night’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets may have been Ovechkin’s final appearance in the NHL. The conversation explores what the next chapter could look like for the Washington Capitals — both with Ovechkin still in the picture and in a future where the franchise turns the page from one of the greatest goal scorers in hockey history. Later in the show, Marek reacts to the stunning post-game moment from Rick Bowness following the Blue Jackets’ final game of the season, unpacking the emotion behind his fiery comments to the media, why he chose that moment to speak out, and what it says about the state of the organization moving forward. #NHL #AlexOvechkin #Capitals #WashingtonCapitals #BlueJackets #RickBowness #Ho

Morning Line -Rick Bowness -
“These guys, they don’t care. Losing is not important enough to them. It doesn’t bother them. How can you go out and play like that? I should have done this a month ago. But this is why we are where we are,” an exasperated Bowness remarked. “This is why we’re out of the playoffs. That kind of effort. You have to hate losing. I don’t care if it’s a meaningless game. I don’t care. Show up and compete.”TSN has more on the 2-1 loss the BJ's suffered against the Caps.
