http://youtube.com/watch?v=nZxx9GY9-Wo?rel=0 Tomas Plekanec probably wishes you didn't see that. In on a breakaway against Tuukka Rask, Plekanec failed to get a shot off, instead mishandling the puck and sending it straight to the corner boards. As if wasting a scoring chance wasn't bad enough, the Montreal Canadiens were called for "Too many men on the […]

Midway through the second period, Carolina led the Maple Leafs by a score of 2-1 thanks to goals from Jordan Staal and his brother Eric. As the station prepared to go to break (or returned from break, […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=A1kRjb24kfw?rel=0 This might be the easiest goal John Carlson will ever score in his NHL career. Carlson dumped the puck in off the glass, hoping to get the puck in deep so his team could make a line change. Pittsburgh goaltender Tomas Vokoun left his crease, ready to play the puck behind the net only […]

The year is young, yet it already has been an ugly season for NHL officiating. Across the league fans are complaining about the inconsistent and extremely ticky-tacky calls officials are making. Nudge a player in pursuit of the puck? Prepare to sit. Get mauled by a defender? Play on. The officials in the St. Louis […]

It seems as if each time the Boston Bruins face the Buffalo Sabres the rivalry between the two teams intensifies. In case you've forgotten what brought the rivalry to a boil back in 2011, here's a video reminder of the Milan Lucic hit on Ryan Miller. The two clubs still have plenty of anger brewing […]

Jason Spezza might be one of the first major injury casualties of the 2013 season. The Ottawa Senators forward will require back surgery to fix a herniated disc he was believed to have injured at some point during the team's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on January 27th. Currently, there's no time frame set for […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=6v0MjaMlwDU?rel=0 Josh Harding's story has been pretty miraculous. The goaltender recently picked up a shutout for the Minnesota Wild in his first game back after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Unfortunately, Harding's start against the Chicago Blackhawks was a bumpy one, earning Harding some time on the bench not even seven minutes into the first […]

The Florida Panthers are off to a dismal start. Six games into the new year the Panthers find themselves staring at a 1-5-0 record, placing them 5th in the Southeast Division and last in the Eastern Conference. The offense is sputtering while the defense and goaltenders are stumbling. Panthers fans have a right to be […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=8HzcSzqJJcY?rel=0 Tyler Seguin scored two shootout goals in Boston's 2-1 victory over New Jersey. Unfortunately for Seguin, only one actually counted as the first was waved off after a fan tossed a piece of debris on the ice as he was shooting. While the trash didn't appear to interfere with the play, Seguin had to […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=68NHtReNrWQ?rel=0 Did Kari Lehtonen just make the save of the 2013 season? We'll see, but he certainly made one that got the hockey world buzzing. After a Jack Johnson shot hit Lehtonen in the arm/shoulder, the puck was on a one-way course to the back of the net. Not so fast, said Lehtonen, as he spun […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=J1ydi_omilk?rel=0 Don Cherry said something ridiculous? Shocking. In case you haven't been tuned into the hockey world the past several days, the sport was buzzing when Nail Yakupov scored a huge goal to tie a game against Los Angeles with just over four seconds left to play. He celebrated by sliding down the ice, showing […]

When making your MVP predictions for the 2013 NHL season, did you include Patrick Marleau on your list? You can be honest – I didn't either. Marleau, as well as the bulk of his San Jose teammates, carried rather small expectations into the year following the lockout. For the first time in a long time, […]
