NHL explains controversial ‘no goal’ call in Leafs-Flyers game | Sportsnet
Ooh, a controversy! Intent to blow? Stopping play because the referee blinked and forgot what the puck looked like? I wonder what—

“Video review determined the net was off its moorings prior to Auston Matthews’ shot.”

The Riveters have struggled this year, while the Beauts have been picking up steam all season and look amazing at this point. Guess which of these teams gets consistent time on practice ice and which team spent the start of the season bouncing around without a facility!

Laine has rekindled passing ability, and goalies should be very afraid | ProHockeyTalk
Oh. Goody.

O’Reilly bringing youth hockey team to game in Ottawa | NHL.com
I’m not even mad that it’s the Blues. This is a great response from Ryan O’Reilly, and I hope that it helps the kids some.
