The rivalry between Brian Boyle and Kris Letang is heated, but also extremely entertaining. After the two were sent to the box with matching roughing penalties, Boyle took the opportunity to mock Letang’s attempt to draw a penalty. Without context, that’s a pretty weird video of Boyle. Still, he’s not totally wrong as Letang has […]

The Tampa Bay Lightning imploded in the third period, allowing the Pittsburgh Penguins plenty of time and space which led to numerous goals. Lightning fans weren’t too happy and they weren’t too pleased with what might have been a slew foot from Sidney Crosby on Cedric Paquette. Slew foot or just Crosby losing his balance? [Reddit]

Want to hear what the first round of playoff hockey was like for the refs? The video below provides a quick glimpse into the many conversations happening on the ice that fans are unable to hear.

Playoff hockey is fast, exciting and sometimes pretty bizarre. Game 1 between the Blues and Sharks entered the bizarre category fairly quickly as David Backes and Joe Thornton yanked on each other’s beard. That’s a new take on the usual pushing and shoving which accompanies playoff games. [Reddit]

It looked like Ben Bishop’s season was over after he had to be stretchered off the ice during Game 1 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Bishop fell and twisted his knee awkwardly, leading the goaltender to audibly yell out as trainers rushed to his aid. Remarkably, Bishop is listed as day-to-day […]

The hip check isn’t used too often in hockey these days, but when it’s deployed it usually results in a devastating collision. Dmitry Orlov tried to pull off an open-ice hip check on Nino Niederreiter, but things didn’t go according to plan. It was still a pretty good hit, but you can tell Orlov was a bit […]

Steven Stamkos is closing in on a return to action, but he wasn’t able to suit up for Game 1 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins. The Columbus Blue Jackets took the possibility that Stamkos might skate in Game 1 as an opportunity to troll Lightning fans on Twitter. The Blue Jackets account replied […]

It’s that time of the year when Jimmy Fallon mocks NHL skaters competing for the Stanley Cup by handing out superlatives. Some are pretty funny. Others miss the mark. Some seemingly obvious opportunities went untouched (Brent Burns). Half the fun is hearing Fallon try to say various hockey names. See what you think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLiUJ123bc0 Victor Hedman’s […]

The Blues had an extremely impressive performance in a dominant Game 7 win against the Dallas Stars. Unfortunately, hockey fans subscribed to Charter missed out on most of the final period as the cable provider experienced a widespread outage. The outage plagued a huge section of the country at one point: Blues fans were upset (rightfully […]

The Stanley Cup is the best trophy in all of sports. No other trophy is able to conjure up the same level of feelings and emotions. Need proof? Wyatt Nelson, a 12-year-old hockey fan of the WHL’s Saskatoon Blades, shares the love of the game with his father. Unfortunately, Wyatt’s dad Gerry lost his vision to diabetes […]

Mikael Granlund wishes he was still competing for the Stanley Cup with the Minnestoa Wild, but he’s making the most of the situation by showing off some incredible moves with Finland against the U.S. at the 2016 IIHF World Championship. Granlund wins a battle, but appears to be locked into the corner by Patrick Maroon […]

Roman Polak and Barret Jackman used to be pretty close teammates when they both skated for the St. Louis Blues. That love has been lost as the two are now on opposing sides in the Sharks-Predators playoff series. As the game concluded and the Sharks started to celebrate their 5-1 win in Game 5, Polak […]

The World Cup of Hockey should be a fun, entertaining event. You may not realize that if the only thing you’ve seen are those horrible commercials promoting the upcoming World Cup in September. These commercials are awful. Maybe beyond awful as they’re cringy, embarrassing attempts to sell what should be one of the jewels on […]

Throw pucks at the net and good things happen. Reto Berra is the latest example of that after allowing a goal from the far blue line during the IIHF World Championships. That’s a bad one. You can’t chalk this one up to a bad bounce or a crazy deflection. Berra likely lost the puck in the crowd […]
