0 comments by on 3/28/2014

UPDATE: 3/29 – The streak is over. O’Reilly picked up his first penalty of the season on Saturday afternoon. He was given two minutes for playing with a broken stick. The penalty box is practically a second home for some NHL players. For Ryan O’Reilly, it’s an area of the arena he isn’t very familiar […]

NHL will hold officiating combine

0 comments by on 3/26/2014

NHL officials have always been under the microscope. However, things seem to have gotten worse over the last several seasons as blown calls continue to pile up and teams are being wrongly defeated on a more regular basis. What has the league done about their shoddy officiating? Not much, but that may be about to […]

Video: OHL goalie slashes opponent in the head

0 comments by

Goaltender Anthony Stolarz of the OHL’s London Knights has a bit of a temper. After receiving a slash from Josh Ho-Sang of the Windsor Spitfire (you’ve got to love OHL team names), Stolarz used his paddle to chop at the back of Ho-Sang’s head. Remarkably, Stolarz received just a two-minute penalty on the play and […]

That’s a brutal collision. Amazingly, Wheeler later returned to the game. These types of collisions are some of the scariest in the sport. The NHL curved the glass near the benches in order to soften hits around that area of the ice, but now they may need to address the issue of doors being left open during play to avoid a serious injury.

0 comments by

The Buffalo Sabres have been pretty bad this season. That’s not exactly news, but it may come as a surprise to hockey fans who haven’t been following the team too closely is that the club is on the verge of being historically bad this season. Specifically, the team’s offense may go down as one of […]

Columbus fan isn’t happy with Rick Nash

0 comments by on 3/22/2014

Rich Nash’s return to Columbus was an interesting one. He received a loud ovation and the Blue Jackets played a nice video tribute. From there, things took a nasty turn as Nash shoved goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and then dropped the gloves with Matt Calvert. As expected, Nash’s return to Columbus was met with mixed reactions […]

The playoffs are going to be a very important time for Mike Richards. Aside from the obvious opportunity to win the Cup, it’s looking like Richards’ future with the Los Angeles Kings may be directly linked with how well he performs in the playoffs. Richards is currently in the sixth year of a massive 12-year, […]

Sunday, March 23rd will mark the end of an era. The end of an ugly, ugly era. The New York Islanders will be wearing their black third jerseys for the final time when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday afternoon. No real surprise here. As the Islanders prepare to move to Brooklyn, they’re […]

Video: Fan jumps on the ice in Toronto

0 comments by on 3/19/2014

Fans invading sporting events by running through the playing area is a pretty common occurrence. Some baseball games now feature several stoppages as a parade of idiots tries to frolic through the outfield while evading security. Hockey doesn’t suffer from that sort of behavior thanks to the tall boards and glass which serve as a […]
