Latest News On Kyle Okposo
The last time Okposo played a game was March 25th and the whole thing started with an illness, however, on Tuesday news came in that Okposo was emitted into the ICU and is undergoing multiple tests. The scariest part is the fact the issue could either be a stroke, brain hemorrhage, trauma, or even a tumor, either way, we all hope he comes out okay and healthy. (Tip Of The Tower)
Florida Has Lost Six Straight Now
When Florida prospect Ian McCoshen debuted against St. Louis the Panthers were hoping he would help with some wins, well that hasn't been the case. Since joining the team, Florida has lost their last six games, so could it be a curse? Or the fact Florida is relying on a prospect to win? I myself believe it's a ladder of the two. (The Rat Trick)
Steven Stamkos Unlikely to Return
One month into the season Stamkos went down with injury and all season news has been is he ready to come back or not. Well, he's not, and even if the Bolts make the playoffs he still won't be returning. Stamkos has been out with a knee injury which is something he's had issues with since last season, hopefully, next season he'll be 100%. (Bolts By The Bay)
Colorado Prospect Tyson Jost Scores First Goal
Despite losing the game there was some silver lining, Tyson Jost scored his very first NHL goal. And the goal wasn't a dirty one either, it was an absolute beauty. He picked up the puck between Rocco Grimaldi's feet than had to get it on his own and once he did he went top shelf right over Devan Dubnyk's shoulder. (Mile High Sticking)
Mika Zibanejad Becoming Key Player for the Rangers
Since being acquired from the Sens for Derick Brassard, Mika Zibanejad has been on a roll for the Blue Shirts. He's faced some injuries during the season but when he's returned he didn't miss a beat and is providing some much-needed scoring depth. This is great for someone like Jimmy Vesey who could mesh well together and be a solid duo for the Rangers. (Blue Line Station)
