Jason Dawson+FollowHeated Rivalry: NHL’s Ticket Surge ExplainedAnyone else notice how the NHL is having its own 'Taylor Swift effect'?

Even Commish Bettman binged the whole series. It’s awesome to see new fans—especially first-timers—packing the rinks. Pop culture is changing the game! #Sports #IceHockey #NHL00Share
Christopher Li+FollowPenguins’ second line is changing the gamePittsburgh’s second line is turning heads this season, and it’s not just because of Sidney Crosby. Evgeni Malkin, now 39 and playing the wing, looks like he’s rolled back the clock, racking up points alongside Tommy Novak and Yegor Chinakhov. Novak’s speed and two-way play have been a revelation at center, while Chinakhov’s quick-release shot is giving goalies nightmares. The result? The Penguins are 10 games over .500 and making a real push for the top of the Metro Division—something few saw coming after years of missing the playoffs. What do you think is fueling this unexpected surge? #Sports #IceHockey #PittsburghPenguins00Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowOwen Power divides Sabres fans like never beforeOwen Power’s name sparks some of the loudest debates in Buffalo hockey circles. Despite his massive 6'6" frame, he’s not the bruiser many expected, and that’s left fans split—some see untapped superstar potential, others call him a draft bust. But here’s the twist: while his style frustrates old-school fans, the advanced stats show he quietly leads the Sabres’ defense in expected goals. As Buffalo fights to end a 14-year playoff drought, Power’s impact is bigger than it looks. What do you think—should the Sabres stick with him or shake things up? #Sports #IceHockey #Sabres00Share
Martha Garza+FollowLeafs-Red Wings OT Drama: Cowan’s Costly TurnoverTough OT loss for the Buds last night against the Wings. Easton Cowan, our top rookie, had a rough moment with that turnover right before Dylan Larkin’s winner. Chief Berube had Cowan’s back postgame, saying it’s all part of a young player’s learning curve. Cowan’s shown flashes this season, but with Marner gone soon, he’s got big shoes to fill. Playoff hopes are still alive, but the margin for error is razor thin. What do you think—growing pains or warning sign? #Sports #IceHockey #LeafsForever00Share
William Morrow+FollowPanarin’s No-Move Clause: Caps Trade StalledRangers fans, the Breadman saga just got juicier. While the Caps look like a perfect fit for Panarin—especially with Ovi’s window closing—insiders say the real roadblock isn’t cap space or prospects, but Panarin’s full no-move clause. He controls his fate, and word is he’s not exactly tight with the Great 8. If Panarin only waives for a select few, New York’s leverage tanks. This could get spicy as the deadline nears! #Sports #IceHockey #Rangers00Share
William Morrow+FollowSkinner Shuts Down Flames in Rivalry RematchHow about Stuart Skinner last night? The Pens’ new wall stopped 18 shots and got sweet revenge on the Flames after that tough loss 11 days ago. Geno was buzzing with a goal and an assist, and Sid the Kid keeps his point streak alive. Calgary just couldn’t get going, especially after trading Andersson. Anyone else think this is the start of a real rivalry? #Sports #IceHockey #LetsGoPens00Share
Martha Garza+FollowBC hockey stars up for Hobey Baker in 2026Boston College’s hockey scene is buzzing—sophomore forwards James Hagens and Dean Letourneau just landed nominations for the 2026 Hobey Baker Award, the top honor in college hockey. Hagens, already a Bruins first-round pick, is racking up points and making headlines with multi-point games and a hat trick against Notre Dame. Letourneau’s transformation is just as wild: from barely seeing ice time last year to now leading the team in goals. With only three BC players ever winning this award, could this be the year we see another Eagle take the crown? What do you think sets these two apart from the rest? #Sports #IceHockey #BostonCollege00Share

Christopher Li+FollowJ.T. Miller staying put as Rangers shake up rosterJ.T. Miller isn’t budging from New York—despite all the trade buzz, he’s made it clear he’s not waiving his no-move clause, and the Rangers aren’t asking him to.

Meanwhile, Artemi Panarin is on the way out, and rumors are swirling about more moves before the trade deadline.

Bryce Clark+FollowPenguins Eyeing Robo for Potential Trade?Big news out of the Steel City—Penguins insiders are buzzing about the team’s interest in Dallas’ Jason “Robo” Robertson.
