Game Recap
Sabres' Doan Eyed for Team USA's 2028 Fourth Line

Buffalo's breakout winger Josh Doan catches the eye of USA Hockey brass as a gritty fit for the 2028 World Cup roster, projected right into that versatile fourth-line role alongside Cutter Gauthier. With Tage Thompson locked in after his Olympic heroics and gold-medal OT winner at the Worlds, Doan needs to sustain this hot streak to crash the party. Front offices whisper that two more years of forechecking fury could seal his spot on the plane to the tournament.

Way-Too-Early Team USA Picks for 2028 World Cup

USA Hockey insiders already whisper about locking in core pieces for the 2028 World Cup, with names like Auston Matthews and Quinn Hughes drawing heavy buzz from front-office types who've seen them dominate NHL ice. Bill Guerin and his crew debate tweaks on defense, eyeing stars-in-waiting like Jackson LaCombe to pair with studs such as Zach Werenski and Brock Faber.

Olympics
Gudas Caught Yelling Homophobic Slur at Olympics

Radko Gudas, the NHL's resident enforcer now suiting up for Team Czechia, gets mic'd up and drops a homophobic slur during an Olympics clash that everyone's buzzing about. Locker rooms have cleaned up their act over the years, but this kind of throwback noise from a guy with his mileage in the league hits different - especially with the NHL's recent pride tape flip-flops and fines still fresh in memory.

Game Recap
Oilers-Ducks Odds: Ducks' Hot Streak Tempts?

The Edmonton Oilers roll into Honda Center as slight favorites, but Anaheim's scorching 9-2 run has bettors second-guessing the line after the Ducks cashed the moneyline in nine of their last 11. Edmonton's road puck-line cover rate shines in two periods, yet their first-period struggles and over trends scream caution for sharps eyeing the total at 6.5. With playoff odds neck-and-neck around 75% for both clubs, this late-February clash carries real weight for positioning before the stretch run.
