The NHL's trade deadline is in the books and the arms race is in full force in the Central Division with @Avalanche, @mnwild and @DallasStars all improving while @AnaheimDucks, @utahmammoth and @BlueJacketsNHL all get better, too. All that and more here.

With the NHL trade deadline roughly 48 hours out some thoughts on trade deadline memories, the surging @BuffaloSabres and whether dark horses like @SanJoseSharks and @BlueJacketsNHL have some playoff magic in them.

Trade deadline is days away. Things look grim for @MapleLeafs and @FlaPanthers, will a coaching change for @LAKings change their fortunes? Central Division arms race will be interesting as @mnwild, @Avalanche and @DallasStars all looking for an edge.

With the NHL back into its post-Olympic groove a chance to reflect on lasting memories and images from the 2026 Olympics in Milan, an long-anticipated event that seemed to go by in the blink of an eye. Happy @NHLPA had me along for the ride.

The U.S. men's hockey team learning a hard lesson in the company you keep and protecting a golden legacy.

So fortunate to have been able to cover my fourth Olympic tournament and appreciate @NHLPA for giving me the canvas to tell the stories of a terrific tournament. This gold medal game was off the charts and truly one for the ages.

Jim Hughes has worn many different hockey hats over the years, but he's shared his dad/family hat with all the other Team USA families here in Milan as sons Jack and Quinn bid for a gold medal.

Does one of the greatest hockey games ever await on Sunday in Milan as Canada and the U.S. go for gold in men's hockey? If any two teams can deliver on the hype, it's these two.

Tom Wilson is fulfilling a long-held dream of representing Canada in international play. His parents Neville and Keven share their insight into the family's journey to the brink of a gold medal.

Team USA tackles the darlings of the men's hockey tournament Team Slovakia in the second semifinal with a ticket to the gold medal game on the line.

Canada and Finland both had to dig deep to qualify for the semifinal of the men's Olympic tournament. Now a berth in the gold medal game is on the line.

A grandfather with Olympic gold in men's hockey, an uncle, too, but more than that Brock Nelson's story is the perfect illustration of the generational love of the game and the ties that bind a family together.

Jake Oettinger's son pens him a letter - he's three months old by the way - as USA Hockey helps the Milan Olympic experience become a true family matter.

Drew Doughty is looking to close the circle in his third Olympics not just by winning gold but by paying it forward to the next generation of Canadian Olympians and providing Olympic memories for his family.

Jaroslav Spacek played in three Olympics (winning a gold and a bronze) and was a coach for two more. This is his first as an Olympic dad watching his son David who is with the @mnwild organization. Now you're talking stress.

The admiration for Gabriel Landeskog and his journey to the captaincy of Team Sweden at these Olympic Games in Milan extends far beyond the tre kronor.

One of the many great things about the Olympic hockey tournament is how fast friendships in the NHL are put on hold for a fortnight, replaced by the bonds of nationhood. It's a crucial process and not as tricky as you might imagine. www.nhlpa.com/news/olympic...
From jet lag to messages from the past to unexpected doors opening on Olympic dreams, National Hockey League players (and their families) hit the ground running in Milan in anticipation of the men's tournament beginning.

Fortunate to be packing for what will be my fourth Olympic Games in Milan where I'll be doing my best to overwhelm the good folk at the @NHLPA with content during what I believe may be the greatest best-on-best tournament yet. A preview.

A quick look at how Artemi Panarin fixes what ails the @LAKings, or has the potential to fix what ails them. And how it's easy to see why @NYRangers fans are underwhelmed by the return for the veteran star.

For the young and the not so young, being a first-time Olympian will mark the moment a lifelong dream becomes reality as the Olympics welcomes the NHL and its players back for the first time since 2014.

Maybe I'm a Pollyanna (wouldn't be the first time that's been suggested) but I can't help but see GM Barry Trotz stepping away from @PredsNHL as anything but selfless. A chance for the team to move forward even if it means moving forward without him.
burnside-on-hockey.ghost.io#/portal/signup
Time's wasting for @Senators, @MapleLeafs and @FlaPanthers, what is Macklin Celebrini's Hart Trophy ceiling, who's got the edge in Jack Adams discussion and how are @PredsNHL still in the hunt (hint, it's all in the mushy Western Conference)?
burnside-on-hockey.ghost.io#/portal/signup
The surprising @NYIslanders make deals with two neighbors headed in the opposite direction, @NJDevils and @NYRangers, what next for the New York area teams?
burnside-on-hockey.ghost.io#/portal/signup
Snowbound thoughts including magical times for @BuffaloSabres, less magical times for @MapleLeafs, the surging @utahmammoth and @penguins and more.

Feel so badly for Seth Jones of @FlaPanthers as injury will keep him from competing in Milan. A true pro who waited a long time for this opportunity. No shortage of thoughts on @AnaheimDucks Jackson LaCombe who will replace Jones on Team USA's roster.

Good for @SanJoseSharks and GM Mike Grier for stepping out of the shadows and nabbing Kiefer Sherwood from @Canucks. Is there a risk? Did it cost? Sure. But this team and this market have earned a move like this.
burnside-on-hockey.ghost.io#/portal/signup
The team many fans love to hate, @GoldenKnights, are at it again, adding a key defensive piece in Rasmus Andersson from @NHLFlames forcing the rest of the Western Conference to play catch-up. Same as it ever was.
burnside-on-hockey.ghost.io#/portal/signup
It seems as though Artemi Panarin will soon be on the move (if he chooses to agree to a move that is) as the disappointing @NYRangers pen another letter to fans outlining the team's need to 'retool'.
burnside-on-hockey.ghost.io#/portal/signup
Good Monday. What happens when you can't win at home? (Hint, it's not good, just ask @NYRangers or @Canucks.) A milestone for @DetroitRedWings and Patrick Kane, @Senators pull back the curtain on their reaction to trolls, and some more media thoughts.
