NHL wants to add cameras to the crossbar and blueline in time for the playoffs

0 comments by on 3/6/2016

The NHL made waves when they introduced new nets which had room for cameras inside the posts. The new nets, seen here, were brought in to hopefully give officials and reviewers another angle when trying to determine if a puck crossed the line. The results have been fairly inconclusive and now the NHL is hoping […]

Penguins initiate Justin Schultz by hanging his clothes above the ice

0 comments by on 3/4/2016

Every team in the NHL welcomes in new players with their own form of hazing. The term “haze” might be a bit harsh for what usually amounts to juvenile (and hilarious) pranks, but there’s definitely an initiation process in the locker room. The Penguins had their own creative way of welcoming Justin Schultz to the team. […]

Here’s a goal celebration which wouldn’t fly in the NHL. Josh Gratton from Assat of the Finnish Elite League scored against SaiPa and had a rather unique celebration in which he took a drink from the opposing goalie’s water bottle. Surprisingly, he wasn’t jumped by the other team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wprin-_feO4 We don’t recommend any NHL players attempting this celebration. […]

Henrik Lundqvist usually is one of the best at keeping cool under immense pressure while making even the most difficult saves look easy, but his anger got the best of him against the Penguins. After a collision in which Lundqvist was ran over by a teammate, the goaltender decided to show the officials how angry he […]

The Calgary Flames picked up goaltender Niklas Backstrom in a trade with the Minnesota Wild just ahead of the trade deadline. The move added goaltending depth for Calgary, but it looks like the Flames may have expected a different player to show up based on the misspelling on Backstrom’s locker. Via The Score: It’s a bit tough to […]

Video: Capitals honor Brooks Laich in his return to Washington

0 comments by on 3/2/2016

Brooks Laich skated in 742 games with the Washington Capitals dating back to his debut with the club during the 2003-04 season. In the modern NHL, it’s extremely rare for a player to skate with the same team for so long and Laich’s time with the Caps ultimately ended with a trade to the Toronto Maple […]

Video: Old woman throws her bra on the ice after Flyers hat trick

0 comments by

The hat trick in hockey is a special event not only because a player tallied three goals in a game, but because it’s one of few occasions where fans are encouraged to chuck things on the ice. Usually those items are hats, but one elder Philadelphia Flyers fan opted for something a bit different. Her […]

Toronto Sun mocks Leafs call ups as demotions

0 comments by on 3/1/2016

William Nylander got his first taste of NHL action when the Toronto Maple Leafs called up the forward prior to their game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Most would consider the call to come up from the AHL to the NHL a promotion, but maybe not in the case of the Leafs. The Toronto Sun […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded a ton of players prior to the trade deadline and are officially building for the future. The remaining lineup is loaded with young skaters, including 22-year-old goaltender Garret Sparks. If this save by Sparks on Valtteri Filppula is any indication, the future is bright for Toronto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj2aucItl8g That’s a great stick […]

0 comments by

Welcome to a deadline day edition of Hockey Fights of the Week. The past week of fights was almost as slow as the trade deadline. There were a total of 10 fights in the Week 21 window, a signal that teams are focusing more on securing points late in the year than they are on fisticuffs. […]

Tyler Johnson is lucky to have escaped a serious injury after taking a puck to the face when the Lightning faced the Bruins. The puck appeared to catch Johnson directly in the face, resulting in a nasty gash which poured blood on to the ice. Warning: The video below is not for the squeamish. Blood fills […]

Video: Adam McQuaid falls down, allows 2-on-0 goal

0 comments by

If Adam McQuaid is any indication, there’s a sniper in Boston. The Bruins defenseman fell down for seemingly no reason which led to a 2-on-0 for the Tampa Bay Lightning. This short clip might be the perfect summary of Boston’s defense this season. Good, but committing silly mistakes way too often.
