Summary: The Knights

Have you ever wondered what the oilers were like in their first season? And what's in the future for Connor McDavid?

I also think this user is right but it’s a little over the top. “Now that Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifan has been drafted into the league, people will begin shifting their focus more towards them. We aren't just talking about goals we are talking about shots, +/- avg., assists etc. For instance i am a carolina fan and everybody loves Justin Faulk some think he is one of the best in the league for D. However last night against the Red Wings he had a -3 +/- ratio, that leads me to believe that Hanifan who was drafted by the Canes is leading up to be a better player than Faulk. Hanifan who was +1 +/- ratio had an assist as the game progressed. Crosby who has been playing with many very good players in the NHL is still the best, his line is almost never scored on and they get more SOG (shots on goal) than all the other lines. Shots leads to dominating the game, dominating the games leads to smarter hockey and more enthusiastic players. Yes Crosby is the best in the game.” quotes a user from

Now the score is 6 to 5, they just need one more goal and they win the game. With only 2 min left on the clock the Belleville work hard together to get this last shot. As the players number 87 Tyler Connolly, number 11 Dylan Connolly, number 7 Drew Dohlke, number 70 Tyler Brooks, number 78 Matthew Papachrisanthou, and number 52 Evan Johnson take the ice after a last minute timeout. The play begins with a great face off as with number 87 and the opposing player, number 87 ends up passing it to number 78 who then hits it through the legs of the other player to number 70 who passes to number 7, but misses and hits the opponent's skate. Then number 11 catches the puck and shoots in the top corner for the winning goal. Hockey can be a success or a failure that's where the excitement lives, it all depends on their strategy, the set up, and the teamwork in the play of the game. The main factors of hockey consist of more than just scoring goals, there are rules, skating, and many other skills

In the first half the Knights were fueled by a Matt Drew sneak from a yard away

The Pirates broke a long playoff curse a few years ago, and were one of the best teams for a couple of years, but have since regressed and are now mediocre. They have an incredibly young rotation, anchored by Gerrit Cole, and followed up by, Jameson Taillon, Chad Kuhl, and Tyler Glasnow. All of them are all under 30, as is Drew Hutchison, their sixth option. Ivan Nova is their veteran, and he pitched very well after coming over at the Trade Deadline last year. After dealing away star closer Mark Melancon at the deadline, Tony Watson took over and has been extremely reliable. Their lineup is solid, led by Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte, and Gregory Polanco, but McCutchen is on the downside of his career and both

It's June 25th, 2010, an 11 year old just finished elementary school and is excited to watch his first ever draft and he doesn't even have to stay up past his bedtime as Edmonton picks first. He's been hearing a lot of buzz from sports media about the draft, especially "Taylor vs Tyler" and he knows who he wants the Edmonton Oilers to pick. Taylor Hall plays in Windsor with the Spitfire, whom won the memorial cup just a month prior and just like the kid, he is an Alberta boy. The kid dreams about centering a line with Hall and Jordan Eberle, shattering all of Wayne Gretzky's records. Daydreaming, the kid notices that the Edmonton's GM, Steve Tambellini, is already on the podium ready to make the pick.

The Kings finished the 2014/2015 regular season with a meager 29-53 record; no where near playoff contention in the fiercely competitive Western Conference. To put their under-achieving record in context, the Kings still would have finished as the lowly 13th seed in the far less competitive Eastern Conference. But they have visibly bolstered up their roster with a variety of talent.

The nine-teen year old Konecny who was selected 24th overall by the Flyers a summer ago is knocking on the door of the NHL. Konecny is a highly skilled forward who isn’t a afraid to play physical. Konecny scored 30 goals last season in the Ontario Hockey League. Konecny totaled 101 points in 60 games. Flyers General Manger Ron Hextall had this to say about Konecny “Travis is a High-Character kid. Works hard. He’s got speed and a lot of attraibutes we value. Konecny has played with both Claude Giroux and Jackub Voracek in the preseason so far and hasn’t disappointed the flyers. Konecny has 2 goals and 2 assists in 4 games for the Flyers this preseason.

The Tampa Bay Lightning pushed within one game of advancing in the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday. They took down the New Jersey Devils 3 to 1 to take a matching advantage in their seven-game Eastern Conference quarterfinals. The Lightning’s leading point producer, slammed Devil defenseman Sami Vatanen into the boards, knocking him out of the game.

But their luck changed in 2015–16 when, after a slow start and a mid-season coaching change, the team got through the playoffs and won the Stanley Cup, defeating the San Jose Sharks four games to two. Seven years after winning his first Cup at age 21, Crosby was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP with six goals and 13 assists. After he won the award he said, "I look at this as a total team effort. I tried to work hard every night, do my job just like everyone else. I don't know if I did anything different or specific.

The swarm has picked up lots of young talent and coach Ed Comeau is not afraid to use it. There star play Lyle Thompson is on fire this season, it is his second year in the NLL and he is playing like it's his 5 year. Lyle is leading his team in points by a whopping 20 points and is not afraid to show his dominance on the floor. In league stats her is still holding the 3 rd place spot and how he has been playing lately scoring in the last 4 games .The swarm picked up 2 young talented player this year, Connor Sellars, and Leo Stouros two out standing defenders, with Bryan Cole at transition. All that young talent is being lead by one of lacrosse's best coach Ed Comeau, he has won 5 NLL championships as a coach and the indoor world championships.

In this week’s Prospect Faceoff, we take a look at Quebec Remparts goaltender Callum Booth, who has been the team’s saving grace during a rough stretch. He will be opposed by a former first-overall pick, Daniel Audette, who has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. Also in this week’s edition, one underrated forward on North Dakota is garnering attention, as are a pair of draft-eligible skaters who are in weekend competition.

The Rangers might be the biggest regression candidate this year. They are a perennial playoff team—they’ve

The Nashville Predators have been going through a seemingly endless process since entering the NHL in 1998. It did not take the Predators long to establish a successful and competitive nature among the franchise. Their first five seasons they struggled becoming a team and missed the playoffs, however, they have come together and made the playoffs every year since. The Predator’s on-ice performance was consistently among the top three teams in the league, but still faced many challenges.

Pittsburgh’s early playoff exits the last three seasons have come as a result of failing to make a big move to put them over the top. The Pirates' minor league system remains among the best in MLB as Huntington has been reluctant to part with young talent. However, giving up a few young prospects to acquire a big-time player could capture Pittsburgh’s first World Series since 1979. Acquiring another star to complement McCutchen before July’s trade deadline could turn the Pirates into a serious contender. In each of the last three seasons, the Pirates have been relatively quiet at the deadline as the team has rarely been linked to big names that may be on the move. The Pirates opted to go a different route, making no significant moves at the 2013 and 2014 deadlines, while pulling the trigger on a series of smaller moves before the 2015
