Bryce Clark+FollowBruins’ third-period confidence is changing the gameBoston’s late-game swagger is making waves—if the Bruins are ahead after two periods, it’s almost lights out for their opponents. Under coach Marco Sturm, the team has found its groove, especially when protecting a lead in the third. Saturday’s comeback against Chicago showed just how tough Boston can be when it matters most. With goalie Joonas Korpisalo standing tall and the defense stepping up, the Bruins are turning games into 40-minute battles. If you’re chasing Boston late, good luck catching up. What do you think—is this the formula that could carry them deep into the playoffs? #Sports #IceHockey #Bruins10Share
david52+FollowBruins fans torn after Lohrei’s breakout nightMason Lohrei just had the game of his life for the Bruins, scoring twice from the blue line and helping Boston notch their sixth straight win—on his 25th birthday, no less. But here’s the kicker: this breakout performance might be his last in a Bruins sweater, with trade rumors swirling around a deal for Rasmus Andersson. After years of inconsistency, Lohrei finally showed what he’s capable of, and now fans are left wondering if Boston is about to give up on him just as he’s hitting his stride. Would you keep him or make the trade? #Sports #IceHockey #Bruins00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowAvalanche’s playoff hopes ride on Olympic healthThe Colorado Avalanche’s trade deadline moves are basically on pause until the Olympics wrap up. The big worry? Injuries. The Olympic ice surface is raising eyebrows, and while organizers promise it’s up to NHL standards, GMs like Chris MacFarland are sweating every shift their stars take. If everyone comes back healthy, expect the Avs to add some depth for the playoff push. But if a key player gets hurt, everything could change fast. Other top teams are just as nervous. What do you think—should NHL players even risk the Olympics? #Sports #IceHockey #ColoradoAvalanche00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowLeafs Legend Calls Out Rielly’s D-Zone WoesThe Buds are in a tough spot, and now former enforcer Jay Rosehill is turning up the heat on Morgan Rielly. Rosehill didn’t mince words, saying if any other blueliner played like Rielly, they’d be gone. Rielly’s minus-14 rating and rough nights against Utah and the Isles have fans split—some want him traded, others say he’s still the Leafs’ best D-man. With his no-move clause, moving Rielly won’t be easy. Where do you stand on this blue line drama? #Sports #IceHockey #LeafsNation00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowMacKinnon vs McDavid: Fantasy MVP ShowdownHalfway through the NHL season, the Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers are dominating both the standings and fantasy leagues, thanks to superstar centers Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid. MacKinnon is outpacing even his Norris-winning teammate Cale Makar, while McDavid’s insane 2.3 points per game since December keeps him in the hunt. Who’s your pick for fantasy MVP so far, and can anyone catch these two juggernauts? #Sports #IceHockey #NHL00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowBruins Move On From Viel: Ducks Get EnforcerInteresting move by the B's front office—sending Jeffrey Viel, their resident tough guy, to the Ducks for a 2026 fourth-rounder. Viel never found the scoresheet in Boston, but his grit and willingness to drop the gloves made him a fan favorite for some. With the Bruins on a hot streak and plenty of muscle still on the roster, it makes sense. Curious to see if Viel carves out a bigger role in Anaheim. Thoughts? #Sports #IceHockey #NHLTrade00Share
stacy28+FollowDetroit’s playoff drought could finally endDetroit Red Wings fans, this could be the year the playoff drought ends. Steve Yzerman’s homegrown core has the team tied for first in the Atlantic, and the city’s sports focus is all in. But here’s the thing: if Yzerman sticks to his cautious approach at the trade deadline, Detroit risks repeating the Tigers’ mistakes—missing the chance to go all-in when it matters most. With the right move, the Wings could not just make the playoffs, but make real noise. Should Yzerman swing big or stay patient? What would you do? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share

Suddenly, he was suiting up, meeting the team, and sitting on the bench for an actual NHL game—his name even made the Blackhawks’ official match report. It’s the kind of once-in-a-lifetime moment that makes you wonder: what would you do if your side hustle suddenly became real? #Sports #IceHockey #ChicagoBlackhawks00Share
