The New York Islanders had a few scary moments after goaltender Thomas Greiss was forced to briefly leave Game 4 after losing his skate blade. The blade appeared to fall off on a fairly routine play and Greiss had to exit to get his skate worked on after it was clear it required more than […]

Almost immediately after making the decision to give Brooks Orpik a three-game suspension, the NHL will have to rule on a similar hit from Kris Letang on Marcus Johansson. Letang picked up a two-minute penalty for interference, but should the league do more? Here’s the hit: The first argument should be over whether or not the […]

Game 2 between the San Jose Sharks and the Nashville Predators had a frightening moment which should serve as a reminder about how important visors are in the NHL. Marc-Edouard Vlasic was standing near his own net when a blistering shot came flying in from the point. That shot caught Vlasic directly on the visor.

The best way to appreciate the speed and intensity of the NHL is to watch it live from the first couple rows. The broadcast on TV usually fails to capture just how strong and fast the players are out on the ice, but that rule was broken when the broadcast picked up a big hit […]

Next up – attending a game in person when the St. Louis Blues […]

The saying goes that the officials put their whistles away in the playoffs and let the players decide things for themselves. That hasn’t really been the case in this year’s playoffs, but it was late in the third period between the Islanders and Panthers. With the goalie pulled, the Islanders were in desperation mode and […]

Vladimir Tarasenko is one of the best forwards in the NHL and he makes it known almost every time he steps on the ice. With the Blues preparing to choke up another big series lead, you’d think Tarasenko would receive plenty of ice time. That hasn’t been the case and he appears to be pretty […]

The same trio of cities are always discussed when the topic of NHL expansion is presented – Las Vegas, Quebec City and Seattle. To date, Las Vegas has seemed like the most likely option for the NHL to pursue, but Quebec and Seattle have continued to linger in conversations for a second team. That is until now […]

What better way to start a big playoff game than with a big fight right off the opening draw? T.J. Oshie and Brayden Schenn could be seen jawing prior to the draw and the two dropped the mitts as soon as the game officially started.

The Red Wings had issues all over the ice throughout their series against the Lightning, but ultimately goaltender Petr Mrazek will be blamed for his blunder late in Game 5. With just under two minutes left in the third and the score tied at zero, Mrazek ventured out of his crease to try and play the […]
