Flyers GM isn’t planning on copying the Penguins

Imitation might be the sincerest form of flattery, but it isn’t always the best way to win a Stanley Cup. The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the San Jose Sharks in the Stanley Cup Final with a lethal combination of talent and speed. Focusing on speed isn’t exactly a new approach in the NHL, but the Penguins and their […]

Report: Flames want to move up to a top-3 or top-4 draft pick

The Calgary Flames had a disappointing 2015-16 season, failing to reach the playoffs after winning just 35 games.

The Boston Bruins are looking to improve their defense and they’ve reportedly spoken with the St. Louis Blues about Kevin Shattenkirk.

Here’s the report […]

Goaltender Mike McKenna hasn’t made much noise with his professional hockey career, appearing in just 22 NHL games, but he’s got lots of hockey fans talking after posting a bizarre comment on Twitter. McKenna, who most recently skated with the AHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers, stated that he’s heard about “mysterious injections” being given […]

Teuvo Teravainen was surprised to be traded by the Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks wasted almost no time shaking up their roster for 2016-17, shipping Teuvo Teravainen and Bryan Bickell to the Carolina Hurricanes for a couple draft picks. It was widely known that the Blackhawks would have to create some cap space in order to retain other assets, but the actual deal was still pretty surprising. […]

It sounds like Kyle Okposo won’t be with the New York Islanders in 2016-17. According to ESPN, Okposo’s agent, Pat Brisson, believes that the forward is likely headed for free agency as talks with the Islanders haven’t resulted in a new deal.

The Penguins already dented the Stanley Cup

The Stanley Cup has been through a lot. It has spent time in a swimming pool, it’s been used as an ice cream bowl and it was accidentally lit on fire. Those are just a few of the incredibly ridiculous, yet true stories of the legendary trophy. All hockey fans should take some time to review […]

Report: Coyotes asked for Martin Hanzal’s “trade list” while discussing an extension

The Arizona Coyotes are covering all of their bases with forward Martin Hanzal. Hanzal’s contract expires after the 2016-17 season and the Coyotes are already negotiating an extension.

Report: Scott Hartnell has agreed to waive his no-move clause for several teams

Scott Hartnell’s name popped up quite a bit prior to the trade deadline, but nothing ever panned out and he closed out the season with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Watch: Jagr silences critics by dancing with a hockey stick

Jaromir Jagr can do just about everything. He can even make dancing with a hockey stick look kind of awesome which is quite the accomplishment. Jagr posted the following video on Facebook which, based on the rough translation provided by Facebook, suggests he’s showing off his dance moves to silence some journalists who called him […]

Erik Karlsson hopes to take his game to the next level in 2016-17

Erik Karlsson was outstanding again in 2015-16 and was nominated for the Norris Trophy as a result. His 82 points (16 goals, 66 assists) in 82 games were an insane total for a defenseman, besting all players at his position while tying Joe Thornton for fourth-most points in the league. With numbers like these, Karlsson should […]

Video: Vlasic shoves Crosby into the Sharks bench

Marc-Edouard Vlasic has had an outstanding postseason, but he let his temper get the best of him as he tried to shove Sidney Crosby through the door and into the Sharks bench. That’s a pretty dangerous play. The puck was way over on the other side of the ice and Crosby was shoved into the […]
