Not sure quitting on your team and your fan base, in your home town no less, is the best way to get what you want, but that's the path Dylan Larkin has chosen having walked away from @DetroitRedWings in the hopes of forcing a trade. Here are some thoughts:

One month into the NHL season and thoughts on @mnwild, @Avalanche, @NJDevils, @PredsNHL, @EdmontonOilers, goaltenders and all kinds of other assorted stuff. Here: burnside-on-hockey.ghost.io/
Mike you are correct, a wonderful story well-told by our good friend and fine wordsmith @sroarke_nhl.
Really nice story here on how the presence of the Stanley Cup was a ‘thrill of a lifetime’ for Pikangikum First Nation, by @sroarke_nhl

Connor or no Connor @NHLJets still can't score enough, @Canes get Nikishin inked while thriving on the road, @NHLBruins continue to impress while @NHLFlames make some happy noise. At the other end of NHL life @BuffaloSabres missing the mark. It's all here:

Connor Hellebuyck joins @NJDevils while @NHLJets move on from the best goalie in franchise history just in time for the Heritage Classic. No matter how you cut it, the trade marks a seminal moment for both franchises. It's here:

Ottawa fans vent, @Senators get two big points in Brady Tkachuk's return, @CanadiensMTL and @BuffaloSabres struggle with expectations, @NHLJets prepare for outdoor magic - with or without Connor Hellebuyck - and Cole Knuble makes an impact with @NHLFlyers.

Ice Time - Scott Burnside Joins For An NHL "Overreaction Monday" youtu.be/P8eLE44XHwc?is=2Bi3… via @YouTube
Sunday version of Furious Five featuring @Canes and surging @FlaPanthers, the Forgotten Five led by @LAKings and slumping @penguins, plus @NHLJets and Connor Hellebuyck, Dave Hakstol and ASU and @MapleLeafs and Gavin McKenna meet the media. It's all here:

Happy Monday. Who ranks among the Furious Five? Hint, @EdmontonOilers, @GoldenKnights, @Canes are in the mix. And look way down to the Forgotten Five? It's Woe Canada with @NHLFlames and @Canucks along with winless @NHLFlyers in contention. Check it out:

With Alex Ovechkin beginning his long goodbye are NHL teams and the league itself in for some awkward moments? Hard to imagine that won't be the case.

One week into the NHL schedule what is real and what is fake? Glad you asked as we examine @FlaPanthers injury issues (again), a grand start for @NYRangers and a sluggish start for @DallasStars, @NHLFlyers and @NHLBlackhawks. It's here: burnside-on-hockey.ghost.io/
The NHL season kicks off with a banger trade between two playoff hopeful teams, @BlueJacketsNHL and @MapleLeafs, and more important reporting ramps up the pressure on Arizona State University and its shameful handling of the Matthew Mayich tragedy. Here:
burnside-on-hockey.ghost.io/
A new NHL season in the offing, can Auston Matthews lead @MapleLeafs back to the playoffs? What does @Canes Stanley Cup defense look like (hint, good)? The young and the rich under the spotlight ask @AnaheimDucks, @BlueJacketsNHL and more. That and more:

What an honor to have shared press boxes and other dingier locales with you over the years my friend. Enjoy every adventure that comes your way.
Sometimes the most important learning curve for NHL players isn't on the ice but in life's other classrooms.

Am always left humbled when I get a chance to write about @NHLPA's iconic Goals & Dreams program. This time to shine a light on Bob Goodenow's lasting and in some ways unknown legacy with G&D at venerable Clark Park in Detroit was especially meaningful.

ASU's shameful response to the Matthew Mayich tragedy, @BlueJacketsNHL get their guy, now Adam Fantilli has to deliver the goods, Mark Messier rattles the @EdmontonOilers cage and @NHLFlyers see their goaltending depth tested early. Here:

On the eve of training more than a little discontent surrounding @Capitals, @NHLJets and @DetroitRedWings. What next? Glad you asked.

Looking forward to this.
Fall release! Part tell-all, part memoir, at once a love letter to journalism/sportswriting and a thank-you note to all those who helped me escape a certain factory life for a career I never could have imagined growing up. Available for preorder now. Details to follow. #LGRW
Good Sunday morning. Does Chris Kreider make the patient, calculating @CanadiensMTL true Stanley Cup contenders? In a word, yes, he does. Here it is:
