Beau Bennett was forced to leave Monday’s game with a shoulder injury after T.J. Oshie sent the Penguins forward into the boards. The hit sent Oshie to the penalty box for two minutes for interference, but some Penguins fans – including the announcers on the clip below – believe it crossed a line. The hit […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins weren’t living up to their enormous expectations and they made a coaching change as a result. As always, it’s not fair to place all of the blame on the coach when the players are in charge of going out on the ice and producing. New Penguins coach Mike Sullivan has been tasked to […]

The next big battle between the NHL and the NHLPA is coming sooner than you might think. Hockey fans believed they were in store for several years of peace after the two sides reached an agreement to end the 2012-13 lockout, but a conversation over a future expansion draft could once again divide the NHL […]

We rarely focus on Brad Marchand’s hockey skills due to the fact he’s almost always involved in on-ice altercations away from the puck. Against the Florida Panthers, Marchand reminded everyone that he’s pretty good at hockey too. Watch this move Marchand pulls off from his knees. Great deke.

Jordin Tootoo was at the center of a bizarre Too Many Men penalty called on the New Jersey Devils. Tootoo was lining up Mike Green for a big check, but he missed and tumbled into the space between the benches used by the color commentators during the broadcast. The officials noticed Tootoo’s spill and another […]

Tim Peel is by far the most unpopular and despised official in the NHL. He may have gained some respect after cussing out James Neal, but this play in St. Louis should remind the veteran official exactly where he stands in the eyes of hockey fans. The Blues attempted to clear the puck to kill […]

Change is coming to the Florida Panthers. No, that doesn’t mean relocation rumors. With the team receiving a big injection of additional public funds, the Panthers actually look like a lock to stay where they are. However, they may have a completely new look and logo when you see them next season. The Miami Herald […]

Don’t you love boxscore oddities? The NHL provided the latest bizarre statistic as Dallas Stars goaltender Antti Niemi earned the win for his team … without making even one save. The Stars led the Carolina Hurricanes 5-1 heading into the third period. Kari Lehtonen started the game for the Stars and appeared to be on cruise control […]

A lot of teams do the Teddy Bear Toss, but the Calgary Hitmen and their fans continue to raise the bar. A total of 28,815 plush toys hit the ice in the second period, leading to a lengthy delay in which the players and mascot jumped into the enormous piles of bears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8YfHu8FfEg What an amazing […]

Jussi Jokinen might have a future as a goaltender. Even with his team trailing by two, Jokinen turned in an incredible effort to deny the New Jersey Devils on three separate chances at an empty net. He pokes the puck away, kicks it away and caps things off with a sliding save at the top of […]

Odds are pretty good you’ve already seen the Jordin Tootoo – Brad Malone fight which the hockey world is still buzzing about. That knockout aside, there were some other really good fights this week you might have missed.

Dustin Byfuglien has dished out a ton of huge hits during his career. This time he was on the receiving end as Bryan Bickell made a statement with a big hit which led to the gloves coming off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRc2oe2SZaw It’s rare you see Big Buff knocked off his skates and in such a powerful fashion. It’s […]

The Blues were awful against the Maple Leafs. Steve Ott’s ugly injury might have summed things up for the Blues, but Colton Parayko was able to get one big hit in on Nazem Kadri. It’s always fun watching a player get checked into his own bench.

Steve Ott may hold the new record for most awkward tumble into the boards. His skates got caught up with Dion Phaneuf and he went crashing into the boards … while doing the splits. This will make you cringe. Ott was forced to leave the game with a lower-body injury.
