Toronto's Joffrey Lupul tried to elbow Vancouver's Henrik Sedin in the head as he skated by the Maple Leafs' net. Instead of catching Sedin, Lupul landed a crushing blow on teammate Nazem Kadri. While we're not sure what Lupul was trying to accomplish, Sedin is lucky to have avoided the hit and Kadri is lucky to escape this […]

Drew Doughty is evidently trying to tarnish that reputation as evidenced by his hilariously awkward dive against the Phoenix Coyotes. Let's recap. Doughty has […]

Don Cherry has made some ridiculous comments over the years. Controversial statements from Cherry are the norm. You can add some more to his resume as he has now taken a firm and unbelievable stance defending Buffalo's John Scott.

Courtesy of SB Nation, here's video of Milbury's statements: http://youtube.com/watch?v=aPhC3N8pG4w Rolston has already been […]

NHL players and fans are optimistic heading into a new season. Even with potential holes in the roster, hope endures that a Stanley Cup might be within reach. This hope usually fades if a club stumbles out of the gate or if problems develop which don't have an easy solution. Claude Giroux is a man […]

Jamie Benn had one of the most memorable fights of the 2012-13 season when he battled Joe Thornton. Though that fight will be almost impossible to top, Benn returns this week at the top spot after a nice scrap with Anaheim's Francois Beauchemin. Where does Benn's teammate Antoine Roussel rank on this week's list after […]

The Florida Panthers are ready to start dealing some of their veteran players. That's according to a report from the Ottawa Sun which indicates the new owners in Florida are prepared to make some moves less than a month after they took control of the franchise.

It's been a scary week for hockey. On the heels of frightening injuries to Dan Boyle and Niklas Kronwall, Winnipeg's Jacob Trouba had to be taken off on a stretcher after he tried to check Jordan Leopold and crashed awkwardly into the boards.
