It's been several months since Ilya Kovalchuk shocked the hockey world and abruptly announced his retirement from the NHL. Since then Kovalchuk has played in the KHL and we've only mentioned him in passing. So, how are things going for Kovalchuk? Pretty well. In a report seen on NJ.com, Kovalchuk revealed that it "feels better" […]

It's Monday. The holiday weekend is over and everyone is headed back to work. Don't be depressed. Cheer yourself up with some of the best hockey fights from over the Thanksgiving holiday. While we're at it, let's all give thanks for the great sport of hockey. 5. Tom Sestito (VAN) vs Chris Neil (OTT) – Nov […]

It's time to feel sorry for Cory Schneider again. After being traded from the Vancouver Canucks to the New Jersey Devils, it looked like Schneider's days of sitting on the bench were over. Lo and behold, Schneider is once again struggling to find playing time and is trapped behind another goaltender. Replace Roberto Luongo with […]

Welcome to another installment of Hockey Fights of the Week. This week we're preaching balance. Three of the five fights this week are pretty lopsided, but all five bouts fall into a similar category. Each scrap you see below is solid, but it's highly doubtful any of these altercations will be remembered as one of […]

It feels like the 2013-14 season just started, but here we are with our seventh installment of Hockey Fights of the Week. So far we've seen a little bit of everything. We've seen fights which are early candidates for best of the season, fights which cast a negative light on the sport and fights which […]

The media loves to debate the topic of fighting in hockey. As the NHL places more restrictions on fights (helmets on with mandatory visors), the debate rages on over whether the NHL should ban fighting in hockey once and for all.  However, there's one group that's consistently in favor of fighting: the players. Some 98% […]

The Florida Panthers made it clear that they wanted to shake things up and turn over a new leaf. They've already replaced the coaching staff and they announced that just about any veteran on the roster was on the trading block. Chicago is the first team to take Florida up on its offer. The Panthers […]

Nazem Kadri will be the talk of the NHL after he was involved in two dirty plays against the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday night. The first came as he ran over goaltender Niklas Backstrom. As if that wasn't enough, he followed it up with a hit to the head of Mikael Granlund which forced the officials to […]

Move over Perds, there's a new typo in town. The Columbus Blue Jackets sported their alternate uniforms on Saturday night and things went pretty well as the club cruised to a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders. There was just one humorous problem.  As seen in this photo of Michael Chaput, the Columbus on […]

Is it just us, or has the start of this NHL season featured a ridiculous number of brutal and unnecessary hits to the head? You can add another one to the list as Florida's Jesse Winchester landed a flying elbow on Boston's Chris Kelly.  As awful as this hit is, it might be worse that […]

Martin Broduer would be willing to play for a new team if the New Jersey Devils aren't contenders late in the 2013-14 season. In an interview seen over on The Star-Ledger, Brodeur outlined that he'd be willing to waive his no-trade clause if the Devils were out of the playoff picture and if a contender […]

This might be our new favorite video of the young NHL season. Ryan McDonagh hitting Corey Perry into the New York bench was humorous enough as is, but the play reached epic proportions when it happened twice on the same shift. It's fairly rare a player is hit over the boards and into the bench, but […]

Everyone is still talking about the Ray Emery – Braden Holtby "fight" which occurred during a massive brawl between the Flyers and Capitals. It'd be easy to rank that incident as the best from last week due to the sheer spectacle of it all, but we've opted to go in a different direction. Which fight […]

The NHL has officially announced that the Columbus Blue Jackets will host the 2015 NHL All-Star Game. Columbus was supposed to host the event in 2013, but the event was canceled thanks to the lockout. With there being no All-Star Game in 2014 due to the break for the Olympics, the logical choice was to […]
