Ranger Hayes’ Strange Season
New York Ranger Kevin Hayes is having a strange season. Sure, Hayes is having a successful season and is an important producer for the Rangers but he has some pretty strange in-depth stats. Despite the strange stats, Hayes has been having a good season, so maybe these strange stats just make things confusing. But, what we do know is, Hayes has been solid in the rink. [Blue Line Station]
Penguins Ending the Season Strong
The Penguins have been a very dominating team this season and have been since last season when they took home the Stanley Cup last playoff run. Again, the Pens are finishing their season strong and are preparing to take off once the first playoff puck drops. [Pens Labyrinth]
Bruins’ Cassidy Deserves a Promotion
The Boston Bruins titled Bruce Cassidy the team’s interim coach following the firing of former head coach Claude Julien. Cassidy has been exactly what the Bruins needed and have led the team to playoff contention. Cassidy deserves a promotion for all the success he has brought the team. [Causeway Crowd]
