Ken Holland comments on Stephen Weiss’ disappointing season

Stephen Weiss was a huge disappointment for the Detroit Red Wings in 2013-14. Actually, that’s a pretty big understatement as Weiss appeared in just 26 games, recording two goals and two assists, after signing a five-year, $24.5 million contract over the summer. It looked like Detroit found their second-line center, or at least a valuable […]

Series Recap: Kings prevail over Sharks

There are two ways to look at the Kings-Sharks series.

After the St. Louis Blues were eliminated by the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 6, all eyes turned to the handshake line to see the encounter between David Backes and Brent Seabrook.

Early whistle costs Rangers a goal

The dreaded early whistle and the “intent to blow” rule have caused some serious headaches for hockey fans. The official loses sight of the puck and blows the play dead when the puck is clearly loose and potentially heading for the back of the net. Another early whistle occurred during Game 5 between the Rangers […]

Gary Bettman slows talk of the NHL coming to Seattle

GIF: Shawn Thornton politely gets Justin Abdelkader’s attention

Boston’s Shawn Thornton is one of the more physical players in the NHL. That’s what makes the way he tried to get Detroit forward Justin Abdelkader’s attention so hilarious.   Remove your glove and gently tap your opponent on the shoulder. The previous sentence is so ridiculously polite that it’s hard to imagine it actually […]

GIF: Fleury goes for a stroll, Columbus wins Game 4

Marc-Andre Fleury had played a pretty solid Game 4.

However, in his team’s current series against the San Jose Sharks, Quick is receiving more recognition for his embarrassing behavior than for his play between the pipes. In a critical Game 3 for the Kings, Quick’s resume for cheap/embarrassing plays grew. […]
