Connor McDavid's 2017 NHL playoffs haven't been as productive as his regular season yet. The Art Ross Trophy winner had 100 points in 82 games to lead the league with a 1.22 points-per-game average

The first round of the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs completed on Sunday evening. It was a round of play that did not feature a single game seven, capped when the Washington Capitals defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs

The Calgary Flames went down in four to the Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs. While Flames' fans might think that they were screwed, Calgary didn't seem like a great team to me

The fans of the Calgary Flames were often crying foul after games one and two of the franchise's NHL-playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks. The Flames had 11 penalties called against them

On Wednesday, the Montreal Canadiens faced the New York Rangers, the Ottawa Senators faced the Boston Bruins, and the Edmonton Oilers faced the San Jose Sharks. The Rangers had four power plays to Montreal's three

The 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs will start on Wednesday as some of the sixteen teams that have survived the NHL's grueling regular season will begin play that night. This year's post-season in the NHL is missing some familiar faces

The Montreal Canadiens are into the playoffs as the Atlantic Division champions. Heading into Saturday, they had a meaningless game against the Detroit Red Wings, one that the Habs were actually considered underdogs

The Washington Capitals cannot be caught in the Metropolitan Division standings. On Wednesday night Alex Ovechkin, Braden Holtby, and all shut out the New York Rangers 2-0 in a game that came from the Verizon Center.

The 2018 Winter Olympics, to be held in South Korea, are less than one year away from starting (February 9th, 2018). However, they were dealt a bit of a blow on Monday as the NHL indicated its players will not be participating

Thursday night was an excellent one in the NHL if you are a fan of the Edmonton Oilers. Not only did they defeat one of their divisional antagonists in the San Jose Sharks 3-2, a result that moves Edmonton into 2nd place

Last year saw the Canadian-based franchises in the NHL shut out of the playoffs. At the time, I felt that it was partly due to bad luck as both the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers had major injuries

At this point the Hart Memorial Trophy looks like it will go to either Sidney Crosby or Connor McDavid. The scoring race is very close at this point and whoever wins it should definitely earn some extra points with the voters.
