Joel Quenneville has had some pretty infamous blowups on the bench. Remember the classic scene when he grabbed his nuts? His latest meltdown didn’t live up to those high standards, but his reaction to a disallowed goal against the Coyotes was a pretty good one. Coach Q has a point here. It’s pretty insane that […]

The All-Star break is near and that’s pretty evident based on the play of some teams around the NHL. As different clubs struggle to find their identity and try to recover from injury and fatigue, fighting hasn’t been a priority. While there were only a handful of fights to pick from this week, there were […]

The player many believed was a lock for the Calder Trophy heading into 2015-16 is closing in on a return. Connor McDavid suffered a fractured left clavicle when he awkwardly crashed into the boards at the beginning of November and now he has been cleared to resume full contact in practice. McDavid will practice with Bakersfield […]

Milan Lucic is known for his temper and for his tendency to overreact. Those two traits were on full display when he sucker punched Kevin Connauton after receiving a slash. Lucic was kicked out of the game for his retaliation and wasn’t too happy with the officials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwmKb_UU-e0 Lucic reportedly thought his wrist was seriously injured […]

Jaromir Jagr doesn’t want to play in the All-Star Game. That’s not exactly a new sentiment as he had previously joked during the fan voting that the new 3-on-3 format would kill him. Now it sounds like he’s a bit more serious and it’s raising some questions on what’s going to happen with roughly a […]

Things are always a little bit crazier in the KHL. During their skills competition, Linus Omark was able to attempt a crazy shootout attempt by setting his stick on fire.

Ryan Spooner boarding Chris Tanev was a frightening incident, but the situation turned a bit comical once the advertisement on the boards above Tanev came into focus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnaJ0xgdABA That’s a bit too perfect for words. Thankfully, Tanev was able to get up following this hit and we were all able to enjoy a laugh.

The Montreal Canadiens have been playing bad hockey for almost two months now. Their nine-game winning streak to start the 2015-16 season seems like a distant memory. At the end of November, the Canadiens held on to a division lead, but that too seems like a distant memory. Just how bad have the Canadiens been […]

Brian McGrattan, a seasoned NHL fighter who know calls the AHL home, was at the center of a brutal fight with Daniel Maggio. The video doesn’t offer a perfect angle, but it’s clear Maggio knocks McGrattan out cold and McGrattan falls face-first down to the ice. Warning: Some may find this video disturbing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uynSbumHzBI That’s a […]

The fan fests which accompany NHL All-Star Games always feature familiar activities such as mini-games and the opportunity to take a photo with the Stanley Cup. This year, the Fan Fair has a new cheesy activity along with one giant wiener. Ever heard or seen a cheese fountain? If you haven’t, the Fan Fair inside Music […]

The 2015-16 season has passed the midway point and with it we’ve arrived on our 15th installment of Hockey Fights of the Week. This week’s batch of bouts have a little bit of everything – a late punch which might have crossed the line, a couple lopsided scraps and a few where we had a […]

The St. Louis Blues have popped up in a ton of trade rumors over the last few weeks, but to date the organization hasn’t made any major deals. The Blues have been connected to the trade talk surrounding Tampa Bay’s Jonathan Drouin, while Kevin Shattenkirk and Robby Fabbri have been rumored to be on their […]

All things considered, it’s pretty remarkable that major collisions between NHL players and officials don’t happen more often. That’s why Tim Peel undercutting David Warsofsky is so noteworthy. Via Reddit Hockey: That’s a pretty scary landing by Warsofsky. Peel couldn’t control where he was sliding after losing an edge and Warsofsky ended up landing on his shoulder/neck. He […]

Did Alexei Emelin deliver the best hit of the season when he leveled Paul Stastny? This thunderous check – which looks to be pretty clean – send Stastny flying and led to a pretty big scrum between the Blues and Canadiens. Wow.

Excluding the shootout, you wouldn’t expect to see an NHL defenseman try a spin-o-rama in the offensive zone. Anton Stralman pulled out not only a spin-o-rama, but also a nifty backhand goal which tied the game between the Lightning and Penguins. That’s an incredible goal.
