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. Two puck drops (Ottawa at Pittsburgh [RDS] and Buffalo at Tampa Bay) get the evening underway at 7:30 p.m., while St. Louis at Chicago waits an…

March 20 – Day 160 – Stars upon thars
Get ready for a wild Tuesday of hockey! 11 games are on tonight’s schedule! The action finds its start at 7 p.m. tonight with four tilts (Pittsburgh at the New York Islanders [SN/TVAS], Columbus at the New York Rangers, Dallas at Washington and Edmonton at Carolina), followed half an hour later by three more (Florida…

February 3 – Day 115 – Green with envy
With as many games as are on a Saturday schedule, there’s always a possibility of something special happening. Let’s just see if one of the 13 games on today’s slate can fit the bill. There’s two matinees on tap today (Anaheim at Montréal [RDS/TSN2] and Ottawa at Philadelphia [NHLN/RDS2]), both of which drop the puck…

Hey, why isn’t (insert NHL team here) playing?
Still trying to figure out why your favorite team has games all next week, but your rival gets to take five-straight days off? Or maybe you’re most concerned about your fantasy hockey team? Either way, *NSYNC has the answer: The NHL is in Year 2 of its experiment with bye weeks. Some things – like…

Merkle’s Weekly Bumblings: Week 10
The prodigal son has returned, and it is time, once again, for me to assault your reading receptacles with my meaningless awards and incessant ramblings. Thanks to Cap’n for stepping in for me while I was off going to random ECHL games and concerts. A special note: I’ve dropped the ‘Team of the Week’ section…

December 3 – Day 60 – Make it a Dallas double
I don’t mean to be a Negative Nancy, but Sundays during football season can be a real struggle for a hockey blogger. The problem is the league doesn’t schedule too many games while they have major competition. The NHL is used to working with the NBA (heck, 11 arenas are used by both leagues, and…

December 2 – Day 59 – My exes used to live in Texas
Welcome to another Saturday in the NHL. With everybody else watching the college football conference championships, that leaves more hockey for you and me. Oh, that’s not how television works? While I get that figured out, the first Saturday of December brings with it a big bag of presents from the NHL, as there’s a…

November 13 – Day 41 – Lookin’ for the Promised Land
Everybody makes a big deal about Fridays that are the 13th day of a month. Since Monday is everybody’s most-dreaded day of the week, shouldn’t Monday the 13th be the unluckiest day of the year? Think about it and get back to me. With two games on tonight’s schedule, there’s four teams hoping I’m wrong…

November 6 – Day 34 – First line frenzy
Judging by yesterday’s blockbuster three-way trade, I think it’s safe to say we’re starting to get into the meat of the NHL season. If a F Matt Duchene trade is what we get through one month of action, I can’t wait to see what tricks November has up its sleeves. On today’s menu, the NHL has scheduled a…

January 19 – Day 96 – Worth his Weight behind the bench? We’ll see…
It’s time to start taking our hockey-watching seriously, as there’s only eight days until the All-Star break. The first two pucks of the night drop at 7 p.m. (Dallas at the New York Islanders and Ottawa at Columbus [RDS]), followed half an hour later by the New York Rangers at Toronto. 8 p.m. marks the…
