The quest for hockey‘s biggest prize is down to two. The Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers take on the Eastern Conference champion Florida Panthers in the best-of-seven-game Stanley Cup Final series, with the Game 1 puck dropping on Saturday, June 8, at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. The Oilers are in their first final since 2006, with their last championship coming in 1990. This is their eighth Stanley Cup appearance overall. They were the dominant team in the 1980s, having won five titles from 1984-90. A Canadian NHL team has not won the Stanley Cup since the Montreal Canadiens did it in 1993. The Panthers are in the final for the second straight year, having lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023. Their only other Stanley Cup appearance was in 1996, when they were swept by the Colorado Avalanche. ABC and ESPN+ have live coverage of the series. Sean McDonough has the play-by-play call with analyst Ray Ferraro,...

The game as it was originally meant to be played: on a frozen sheet of ice, outside, in front of 82,500 screaming fans.

With two regular-season games on the docket, it’s the Philadelphia Flyers vs. New Jersey Devils on Saturday, Feb. 17 with puck drop at 8 p.m. Et from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. And on Sunday, Feb. 18, it’s the battle of New York, as the New York Rangers take on the New York Islanders at 3 p.m. Et. You can watch both games on ABC, or with a subscription to ESPN+.

The best hockey players in the world head to Toronto this weekend for the 2024 NHL All-Star Game on Saturday, Feb. 3 with puck drop at 3 p.m. Et on ESPN+ and ABC. Similar to last year, it’ll be a captains’ draft to pick the four teams for the All-Star Game, with the special addition of a “celebrity captain” for each team. The teams include Team Matthews, Team McDavid, Team MacKinnon, and Team Hughes picking their respective squads from a pool of 36 players. Those four teams will go head-to-head in the All-Star Game on Saturday, which will be divided into three 20-minute games of 3-on-3 hockey.

For the last few years, developer EA Vancouver has been working toward creating the best hockey experience on the market. Each year, they’ve added new features and tweaked older, more established ones, and incrementally, the NHL franchise gotten better and better. For NHL 19, it all comes together to present one of the best hockey games ever, and while that’s an admittedly heady declaration, there’s still room for improvement.
As with most sports video games, there’s not much more you can do to represent that actual sport. EA Vancouver checked the boxes in recent years with their incredible stick control options and player-controlled dekes, and last year’s entry even gave the player more control on the ice, creating options for between-the-leg passes and multiple ways to shoot the puck, accentuating finesse as much as force.

NHL 16
Developed by EA Canada
Published by EA Sports
Available on PS4, Xbox One
EA’s previous venture onto the frozen pond wasn’t an outing to remember, as they attempted to cater to both last-gen and current-gen consoles, but ended up satisfying neither audience. NHL 15 suffered from a severe lack of content and the horrible connectivity issues put a nasty blemish on the record of an otherwise well-regarded franchise. In order to right the ship, EA has turned to their fan base for both forgiveness and guidance, with the hopes of putting NHL 16 back on top of the list of premiere sports simulation games.
It’s not uncommon to see a game developer claim that they scour the internet listening to fan feedback in order to better their game, but this year EA took it one step further. In order to redeem themselves for last year’s blunder, EA...

Every time I hear of a new video game console, I begin to wonder what type of advancements it’ll allow EA Canada’s NHL development team to make. I kid you not, that’s the first thing that comes to mind. Perhaps it’s the Canadian in me, but each and every new iteration of the franchise gets me excited. Say what you will about sports games, and feel free to have your own opinion of them, but there isn’t a series out there that has taken more of my free time than EA Sports’ NHL.

EA Sports has turned September 9, 2014 into an unofficial Canadian holiday, by confirming the day as its targeted release date for NHL 15.
Boasting 9,000 unique fan models, reworked physics, and more authenticity than you could ever dream of, the series’ next iteration is sure to be a hit when it releases. What we got to play at E3 was phenomenal, yet it wasn’t the final version of the game, meaning that the retail experience will be even more polished and immersive. That’s somewhat tough to believe, in all honesty, given the quality of the demo that EA brought to sunny California.
Those who pre-purchase this year’s outing — the first on next-gen hardware — will be gifted with at least $15 worth of bonus Hockey Ultimate Team content. At least, that’s the case with some retailers. Eb Games and Gamestop, on the other hand, are offering an extra $9 in bonuses, bringing...

Earlier today, Electronic Arts officially detailed NHL 15, the latest iteration of its venerable hockey simulation franchise. The reveal — which was teased over the weekend — provided a great opportunity for the video game giant, and it didn’t disappoint.
When it drops this fall, NHL 15 will mark the series’ Xbox One and PlayStation 4 debut. And, from the sounds of things, it will take full advantage of the consoles’ improved horsepower, through numerous additions, changes and enhancements. In fact, the game will apparently ship with a staggering amount of new and improved features, including:
Improved player models, which have been created using three distinct layers, dubbed body, equipment and jersey Much more realistic player likenesses and animations A live puck, which boasts much more realistic physics that react to unique ice conditions An enhanced and improved Superstar Skill Stick control mechanic Vision AI, which improves player anticipation Living crowds, featuring over 9000 unique...

NEW YORK -- When NBC Sports begins its second season of NHL telecasts on Saturday, it will start even sooner on the Web.
The network will debut a 30-minute pregame webcast on NBCSports.com called "NHL on NBC Faceoff" at 1:30 p.m. EST. It will begin live from the 30 Rockefeller Center ice rink with studio hosts Bill Clement, Ray Ferraro and Brett Hull, then travel to the sites of the three games NBC will televise on a regional basis. There will be interviews with the team's stars plus views of players warming up on the ice.
"It's almost like going to batting practice in baseball," NBC Sports coordinating producer Sam Flood said.
The last 10 minutes of the webcast will be back at 30 Rock with the announcing trio, who will talk about the hockey issues of the day as well as feature pee-wee hockey players on the ice at the NBC rink.
The format is an extension of something NBC Sports did last year with Notre Dame football -- live broadband programming that gives fans a deeper view and looser feel than the strictures of TV.
