It’s no secret that the Seattle Kraken need to score more goals next season. Goal-scoring issues plagued the team from the start of last season, with only three goals in their first four games to start. The Kraken finished the 2023-24 regular season 28th in the league...
After almost daily NHL postseason hockey action since the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, this past week has been a long one. The Florida Panthers are finally set to face-off against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. Here is the series schedule: Game 1: Saturday,...
With four teams remaining, the conference finals are upon us. In the second round, we saw some great hockey with three series going to six games and one going to seven. For full transparency, I did not do well at predicting the outcomes in my series previews for Round...
The Dallas Stars have punched their ticket to the second round after winning a decisive Game 7 on Sunday night, making them the last of eight teams to advance through the opening series. We reviewed the Eastern Conference here, and in this article we will preview the...
The first round of the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs is in the books and featured goaltending controversies and injuries, two Game 7 thrillers, and another heart-breaking ouster for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now, the hockey world turns its attention to the second round,...

It's been two weeks since the last installment of Monday Musings, and while I won't delve into the details of each of the seven games that have since passed, it's safe to say it's been quite the roller coaster ride. We witnessed some lackluster performances against...
The Seattle Kraken fell short of the ultimatum I set in last week's Monday Musings of grabbing five out of a possible six points, but I can’t be upset at the effort. The boys came away with gutsy wins against the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins but fell short of...
A few weeks back, we reviewed the Kraken's pending unrestricted free agents in a two-part series (Part I and Part II). This week, we will be jumping into the Kraken's three restricted free agents (RFA's) and reviewing what might be in store for them during the...
