  • April 8 – Day 179 – This is the end, beautiful friend

    Originally left as an off day in preparation for the postseason, a nasty Nor’easter on January 4 has turned Florida at Boston’s (NHLN/SN/SN360) showdown, postponed until tonight at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time, into the NHL’s regular season finale.   With Philadelphia eliminating the 43-30-8 Panthers from playoff contention yesterday, this game is all about the…

  • April 6 – Day 177 – SoCal two-step

    In anticipation of all but three teams’ final game of the season being played tomorrow, the NHL’s schedule is rather light this evening with only four matchups to offer.

    To commemorate the final Thirsty Thursday of the regular season, make sure to pour one out for the best day of the hockey week. Fortunately, that should be pretty easy to do considering there’s a dozen games spread out across the continent. The action finds its start at 7 p.m. with five contests (Toronto at…

  • April 3 – Day 174 – Five days later…

    For those wondering: yes, the title was supposed to be read in the SpongeBob SquarePants time card voice. A trio of games (the New York Rangers at New Jersey, Philadelphia at the New York Islanders and Detroit at Columbus) get the honor of getting the night underway at 7 p.m., and they’re followed by another…

  • April 2 – Day 173 – King of the mountain

    Today marks the final Monday of regular season NHL action. Do with it what you will, but I’d strongly recommend watching hockey. Buffalo at Toronto gets the evening underway at 7 p.m., followed half an hour later by a pair of tilts (Winnipeg at Ottawa [RDS] and Carolina at Florida). Two more puck drops (Washington…

    Make no April Fools jokes about it, all of us here at Down the Frozen River want to wish you a happy Easter or Passover. Hopefully that covered all the holidays happening today. Regardless of which of those apply to you, the NHL is staging a full-fledged celebration with five games on today’s schedule. The…
