The Blues were awful in their game against the Hurricanes on Thursday night. The lone player who showed up was Brian Elliott, making save after save to keep the Blues within reach. After allowing a third goal, Ken Hitchcock pulled Elliott. Rightfully so, Elliott wasn’t too pleased. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zouwI3Toj4 Will the Blues ever play well for […]

There have been a lot of videos over the past few years where athletes go undercover and interview the unsuspecting public about themselves. This one is a little different because it features the duo of Shea Weber and Roman Josi interviewing fans at the same time. Weber and Josi adopted new identities (Jeff Biddle and DJ Amadio) […]

Brayden Schenn was busy in a hurry in Wednesday’s contest between the Flyers and Bruins. First, he completely leveled Torey Krug. Then, he dropped the mitts with Kevan Miller who took exception to the hit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqX_UjJV63I It’s always kind of annoying when a fight breaks out over a clean hit, but we might give this […]

Evander Kane was eager to put on a show in his return to Winnipeg, but things got off to a bumpy start during the warmup. Immediately after taking the ice, Kane stepped on a puck and went tumbling to the ice. Jets fans – as you might imagine – cheered loudly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ricftZeEU (Via Reddit Hockey)

Traditionally when a team wants to make a trade, fans may hear rumors about a deal but the team won’t confirm their intentions until either a deal is done or long after a deal falls through. The Vancouver Canucks have opted for a more public strategy and made it known that they want to trade […]

The NHL recently unveiled a pretty interesting chart displaying which players had the best-selling jerseys in 2015. The majority of the names and teams represented are about what you’d expect, but there are a few noteworthy points which deserve some analyzing.

The New York Islanders have played some decent hockey this season which has been good enough to keep them in the thick of the playoff picture. However, their play hasn’t been good enough to keep pace with the red-hot Capitals and it hasn’t been good enough to create some breathing room in the crowded Eastern […]

The NHL All-Star Game is fun for several reasons, but one of the best is the fact it creates teammates out of rivals. Evgeni Malkin and Alex Ovechkin aren’t heated enemies, but they do skate for opposing franchises with a pretty colorful recent history. With that in mind, Malkin’s slight dig at Ovechkin’s defense is pretty […]

The NHL is routinely criticized for its music selections at major events. Whether its the All-Star Game or the Winter Classic, the NHL has a history of questionable musical decisions. The 2016 Winter Classic featured the American Authors, Simple Plan and Nate Ruess from Fun. Though the lineup was far superior compared to the 2012 Awards […]
