We’re on the outside and we’re looking in: SCH previews the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs - 
It’s yet another postseason without the Blackhawks in it, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be watching! With the playoffs starting this weekend, the SCH crew gathered to offer some of their thoughts on it. Western Conference Colorado Avalanche (No. 1 overall seed) vs. Los Angeles Kings (WC2) Dave: I initially created this article about a week before the end of the season, when we still didn’t know who’d win the second wild card spot, inserting “who cares” as a placeholder. Even though we now know the identity of that team, it still doesn’t matter because Colorado is going to eviscerate them. Anything beyond a five-game series would be a shock and the expectation is four. Avs in four.

Where the Montreal Canadiens rank heading into the playoffs - 
The Montreal Canadiens secured their playoff spot relatively early this season after needing a win in the final game in 2024-25 to punch their ticket. They separated themselves from the wild-card pack during an eight-game winning streak, and were tied for top spot in the Atlantic Division as late as April 12. Despite going into the post-season playing on the road as a divisional third seed, the Canadiens ended up sixth overall in the league standings. Five of the top nine clubs were from the Atlantic, turning it into the most competitive division after the Central Division had been granted that title for much of the season. The 106 points tell a story of a team that took a significant step from a season ago when they finished with 91. We’ll dive deeper into their play to see where they rank in other areas as they prepare for their opening playoff game on Sunday. 7th Hits A team with two of its top three players being the 5

The Blackhawks Week That Was and Will (Not) Be, 4/17: Caring - 
I’ve been sitting on these thoughts since January and with the season completed, it’s time to get them on a screen. They aren’t so much about the Hawks as they are about this particular internet space. I spend an incredible amount of time trying to figure out what to do with this website. Much of that back-and-forth comes from a development four years ago, when we were contacted by Hawks PR and offered media credentials for a game for the first time. The Hawks won that night 3-1 over the Philadelphia Flyers with Erik Gustafsson, Jonathan Toews and Alex DeBrincat providing the goals. It was a different time. Ever since, the opportunity has been there for us to be part of the Hawks media contingent. It’s not something we can do as often as the full-time beat reporters since we a

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

41 QMJHLers on NHL’s final prospect list for 2026 Entry Draft - 
NHL Central Scouting has released its final rankings ahead of the 2026 NHL Entry Draft and it features 41 players from the QMJHL, 35 skaters and 6 goaltenders. Four players are ranked among the Top 20 North American prospects: forward Maddox Dagenais of the Quebec Remparts (15th), defenseman Tommy Bleyl of the Moncton Wildcats (17th), defenseman Xavier Villeneuve of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (18th), and forward Egor Shilov of the Victoriaville Tigres (19th). Bleyl has made a significant jump, having been ranked 35th in the midterm rankings. The QMJHL could therefore see four of its players selected in the first round in June, compared to three last season (Caleb Desnoyers 4th, Justin Carbonneau 19th, and Bill Zonnon 22nd). Forward Liam Lefebvre of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens is ranked 38th, while defenseman Ch

Bruins need draft lottery luck to get Leafs' 2026 first-round pick - 
There’s still a better than 50-50 chance of the Boston Bruins getting the Toronto Maple Leafs’ top-five protected 2026 first-round draft pick to complete the Brandon Carlo trade from March of 2025, but they are going to need a little luck in the NHL Draft Lottery next month. For much of the post-Olympic break portion of the season, the Maple Leafs had either the seventh- or eighth-worst record in the league. In those scenarios, the Bruins’ chances of getting the Leafs’ pick this year were pretty high. But the Leafs essentially tanked over the last week or so and finished with a 32-36-14 record — the fifth-worst in the league. Toronto ended the regular
