Jordan Staal. Five-game goal streak in the final. Unreal.

Still early in the PWHL off-season, which already has a couple of 'sibling' storylines. Jesse Compher signs in Detroit, playing in the same city as her brother J.T., a Red Wing. Pascal Rheaume is named coach of Toronto; brother of Manon, Detroit's GM.

Leafs statement on the passing of Cliff Fletcher

Cherub Rock is my favourite Smashing Pumpkins song. Great to hear it for the SportsNet Game 2 opening.

Makes it 2-0 now. And very quickly slipping into the Conn Smythe discussion.

Ehlers. 0:25. Well that was quick.

Jaccob Slavin looking to become the first American since Ken Morrow in 1980 to win Olympic gold and Stanley Cup in the same year. Feat has been accomplished by Canadians: Yzerman, Shanahan (2002); Keith, Toews (2010), Doughty (2014).

Just touch the damn trophy. It doesn't make a damn bit of difference.

"Therefore we have a GOAL!" Not 'good' goal. Just "goal". Gotta love it.

Now, what did we talk about last time?? *sigh*

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60. Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983. Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP. The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season. In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996. Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season. Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup. He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time. Memorial service details to follow.

Congratulations on your retirement, Sav 💙💛 From the day you arrived in Toronto, you showed up with a big smile, a high level of compete, and a strong defensive presence. We thank you for everything you've given to our organization and the sport of hockey, and wish you all the best in your next adventure!

Tweet from a minute ago was at 2-0. Canes make it 3-0 now.

Canadiens look gassed. And by that, I mean in the series, not just the first period.

New rule: no calling a timeout prior to a video review. Habs elected not to challenge, but the option shouldn't be there in the first place.

To what should be no one's surprise, Desbiens, Frankel and Pannek were named the three finalists for the Billie Jean King MVP Award. This was my ballot.

Gina Kingsbury and Troy Ryan will not return to 🇨🇦’s National Women’s Team for the 2026-27 season. Gina Kingsbury et Troy Ryan ne reviendront pas avec l’équipe nationale féminine du 🇨🇦 en 2026-2027. 📰hc.hockey/Release3326 📰hc.hockey/Communique3326
