This week saw TWO editions of the hottest rivalry in the NHL: The Battle of Alberta.

In Version #1 David Rittich flipped his stick and Leon Draisaitl flipped his lid. In Version #2, Mike Smith got in a fight and Cam Talbot got in trouble. When was the last time we had a rivalry this good?

Justin aka Dustin Byfuglien is nearing the end of his time as a Winnipeg Jet. What does the future hold for the defenseman?

Gritty has been vindicated. Which led to what might be the initial pieces of The Mascot Union.

The Buffalo Sabres enter the Elimination Station. Is there something deeper wrong with the Sabres than just the roster?

The Pavel Bure Must Watch Games of the Week are selected too!
