I'm being completely honest readers, I started writing at the start of Period 3.  It was that eventful of a Western Conference Final Game 1.  Let's do this all! Period 1: Goal 1 at 5:04 by Oilers From Kane.   Goal 2 at 5:40 by Avalanche From Compher Goal 3 at 15:10 by Avalanche From McKinno  Goal 4 at 19:37 by Oilers From Hyman Goal 5 at 19:46 by Avalanche From Makar Yes, 5 goals in the first period alone.  This was just the start of the game too.  Period 2 would prove just as exciting with several goals of it's own, from both teams!  For those trying to keep pace here, the score going into Period 2 was Avalanche on top 3-2.   Goal 6 at 0:32 by Avalanche From Kadri Goal 7 at 2:59 by Oilers From McLeod  Goal 8 at 4:38 by Avalanche From Rantansn  Goal 9 at 6:20 by Avalanche From Compher  Goal 10 at 16:20 by Avalanche From Cogliano Goal 11 at 16:51 by Oilers From McDavid As I said, the scoring didn't slow down in Period 2!...

With a goal from Fox and Kreider in Period 1, a goal from Strome in Period 2, and another goal from Kreider, the Rangers would mount a sizable 4-0 lead against the Carolina Hurricanes. On the Strome goal during Period 2, former Blue Jacket Artemi Panarin would have the primary assist.  Then in Period 3, we'd see a bit of a turn around for the Hurricanes, as DeAngelo would score at 8:11.  It wouldn't amount to more than that though, because at 8:51 the Rangers would come back with another goal, this time from Chytil.  With that goal the Rangers would regain their 4 goal lead, the score then 5-1.  With the time winding down, former Blue Jacket Max Domi would score for the Hurricanes at 16:13.  This would take us to a 5-2 Rangers lead.  Second later, the Rangers would again regain their 4 goal lead, after an Empty Net Goal from Copp.  This goal was scored at 17:08, making the score 6-2, Rangers on top still.  This 6-2 score would be your Game 7 final...

Today was the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Finals for 2022!  It would feature the host countries Team Finland, taking on the defending World Champions, Team Canada!  Today, Cole Sillinger and Kent Johnson would both not score points, however each had several stand out goals and assists in their first World Championships.  The final would be Team Finland 4 and Team Canada 3.  As a result, Team Finland would gain World Gold at home, while Team Canada skates away with the Silver.   After the main event came the World Bronze Medal Match between Team Czechia and Team USA.  Again, no Nick Blankenburg on the roster today for Team USA.  However, Andrew Peeke (also Team USA) had another assist.   Andrew Peeke is another Blue Jacket in this World Championships who's truly stood out with his point scoring abilities.  Even with it though, it wouldn't be enough for team USA to skate away with the Bronze.  Team Czechia would launch a s...

Today was the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships 2022 Semi Finals 5th Line.  Each of the two games had two Blue Jackets playing.  So, let's break them down and then preview the World Finals! Game 1 took place first, between the host country, Team Finland and Team USA.  Team USA has both Andrew Peeke and Nick Blankenburg.  I know I've said this in every post, but I like to remind fans incase they've missed post or have forgotten since my last.  Once again, Nick Blankenburg isn't on the Game Summary report from the IIHF Worlds Website.  However, Andrew Peeke did have an assist today, adding to his points total again.  Unfortunately, that wouldn't be enough.  Team USA would fall to Team Finland, 4-3.  Game 2 would see Team Canada hosting Team Czechia.  In this game Blue Jackets Cole Sillinger and Kent Johnson are our players to watch on Team Canada.  Cole Sillinger would have a goal in this game, while Kent Johnson would have a goal a...

It will be a game 14 of this playoffs already for both the Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Rangers.  Going into Game 5 the Hurricanes needed just 1 more game win to end this series, but with wins in Games 5 and tonight's Game 6, the series is now tied.  We'll go to Carolina for Game 7 on Monday evening!  It will be a Memorial Day 2022 to remember for one of these two teams, as the winner that night will move on to the Easter Conference Finals 2022.  It will be played at 8:00 PM EST on ESPN.   In regard to our former Blue Jackets, Artemi Panarin did have a goal tonight at 7:43 into Period 3.  His goal would also be the final one scored tonight.  No points for the Hurricanes Max Domi or Ian Cole tonight.  The final score in Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Rangers, was 5-2 Rangers win!   Tomorrow night we have a playoff break.  Monday night will conclude this series in a winner-take-all Game 7.  It will be so...

When your back is against the wall, you have two options, rise up or fall.  Tonight, the Blues were at home and would try their very best to force a Game 7 in Colorado.  This game was incredible, as both teams would trade off goals.  Going into the 3rd Period the Blues would be up 2-1.  However, with a goal from Compher at 10:18, the Avalanche would tie this game.  Then, with seconds left, the Avalanche would strike once more.  Helm would score at 19:54 (no, I didn't lie about the seconds left score.)  This would take the game to a 3-2 lead for the Avalanche and the Blues couldn't answer with only 6 second remaining.  This means the Avalanche take the Round 2 series, 4 games to 2, advancing themselves to the Conference Finals!  A momentous occasion, as the Avalanche haven't gone this far in the playoffs in 20 years, so a huge win and congratulations to them.   Again, for a team to rise, one must sadly fall.  The Blues had an am...

After a stunning series full of goals, the Edmonton Oilers have taken the Round 2 Series with the Calgary Flames.  McDavid would end the Overtime with yet another amazing goal in this series, capping it off with a 5-4 victory and series clencher.   No points for our former Blue Jackets turned Oilers, but they have a whole Conference Final for that to change!   They will meet up with the winner of the St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche, which could end as soon as what is now tonight (Friday).  Currently, the Avalanche lead the Blues 3-1.   The anticipation continues to build as we get closer and closer to the final 2 NHL Teams left standing, who will battle for the 2022 Stanley Cup.  As a lover of hockey in general, this is exciting as we watch incredible players under the spotlight of greatness.  Many have already achieved so much and for those within the Oilers Franchise, it will continue on to a new opponent and series.  ...
