Winning the Stanley Cup might make you feel like dancing. In the case of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, the duo celebrated their accomplishment by busting out some interesting moves. Specifically, Toews moonwalked on the ice following Chicago's Cup clinching victory and Kane performed the "Kaner Shuffle" at a Jimmy Buffet concert.  When the Blackhawks held […]

Taylor Hall has some decent hands. All right, maybe he has some ridiculously good hands which make most of us stare in amazement. Hall is working on his stickhandling this summer, trying to improve an already strong aspect of his game. The way he's working on his stickhandling might take you by surprise, as seen […]

Welcome to the slow, boring days of summer. If you're a hockey fan, you're hoping for the summer to speed by as quickly as possible and for October to magically show up on your calendar. There's very little to talk about in the world of hockey. Most major free agents have signed and most teams […]

If you saw one of your favorite hockey players, what would you do? Ask for an autograph? Try to make some weak conversation? Ask them to punch you in the face? If you're these fans who followed Roenick around a golf course, the "punch in the face" option was at the top of the list. According […]

The Nashville Predators recently gave Rich Clune a two-year, $1.7 million extension which will keep him with the club through the 2015-16 season.

The forward was already under contract for the 2013-14 season (he'll make $3.75 million), but now he'll be under contract with the Avalanche through the 2018-19 season.  Duchene's extension was an expected one.

The Buffalo Sabres appear to be accepting the fact that they might have Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek when training camp begins in a couple of months. Darcy Regier, GM of the Sabres, believes lineups settle down in July and trade talk dies down until training camp.  As a result, Miller and Vanek might be with the […]

The Edmonton Sun was eager to discuss the Oilers' latest trade. Specifically, the trade which sent David Perron to Edmonton and Magnus Paajarvi to the St. Louis Blues. Maybe they were a bit too eager as they ran a rather hilarious cover story with one embarrassing blooper. Do you see the problem here? That's Alex Pietrangelo […]

Rask's average salary cap hit will be $7 million a year through the 2020-21 season. The Bruins rewarded Rask handsomely for his […]
