Sharks Swap: Dylan Gambrell recalled, Rourke Chartier sent to Barracuda

The San Jose Sharks have made a surprise forward swap this morning, sending Rourke Chartier down to the San Jose Barracuda and recalling Dylan Gambrell from the ‘Cuda to take his place.

The Sunday Crease: Pettersson aftermath, Boeser and Horvat gaining momentum and a…podcast?

Being a hockey writer/fan hybrid is really difficult sometimes.

Canucks bet big on grit in Free Agency, but at what cost?

The Canucks made a number of signings on the first day of NHL free agency, and if you’re anything like me, it left you with a bad taste in your mouth. That, and some salty language. But let’s see if we can fix that, shall we? Jim Benning and Co. have truly embraced the idea […]
