What we’re thankful for in the NHL

Thanksgiving is here in the United States and it’s time for everyone to stop and reflect on what they’re thankful for in their lives. The PDL team, including our resident Canadian which is a requirement for any hockey blog, got together and compiled a list of items we’re thankful for in the NHL. Liam I’m […]

Video: Marcus Foligno flips Carter Hutton

Carter Hutton was pretty lucky to avoid an injury after flipping over Marcus Foligno. The two players were racing to a loose puck, arriving at the same time with a huge collision. Foligno dove, crashing into Hutton’s pads and sending the goalie flying. Hutton landed on his head and fell into the boards but stayed in […]

Video: Ref pulls down Yakupov, injures his leg

This is the type of injury which would only happen to the Edmonton Oilers. Immediately after a draw, the official tripped over a stick and reached out to catch his balance. His hand found Nail Yakupov, yanking him down on the ice and landing on the forward’s leg/knee. Watch as Yakupov’s leg folds under the linesman. […]

Report: Maple Leafs are no longer the NHL’s most valuable franchise

The Toronto Maple Leafs have had their fair share of issues on the ice. Those issues are reportedly starting to be seen off the ice as Forbes has released their financial evaluation of all 30 NHL teams and the Maple Leafs have fallen from the top spot. The accuracy of this report is highly questionable, […]

The 5 best hockey fights from Week 7

Fighting has been down around the NHL, but that idea went out the window on November 21st. A total of eight fights took place on Saturday night, resembling the days of old instead of the modern NHL in which fighting is becoming a rare event. On that note, here are the top-5 fights from Week 7. […]

Video: Braden Holtby crushed by his own teammate

Braden Holtby was doing his usual stretches prior to the Capitals game against the Oilers when he was suddenly crushed by teammate Justin Williams. Holtby was doing the splits when Williams fell backwards. It almost seems like Williams has no idea his flattened goaltender was beneath him. Thankfully Holtby proved to be OK, but this could […]

Video: Shane Doan bulldozes Ondrej Pavelec after push from Mark Stuart

It’s not easy being a goalie. It especially doesn’t help when your defenseman pushes a rushing forward into your crease. Such was the case when the Jets hosted the Coyotes and Ondrej Pavelec was bulldozed by Shane Doan after a push from Mark Stuart. Would Doan have hit Pavelec without the push? Maybe, but it certainly […]

Video: Dmitry Orlov makes the puck disappear, scores magical goal

Dmitry Orlov has raised the bar for goals scored this season. If his effort below isn’t the best of the year, it certainly is one of the most creative, wacky and magical goals you’ll ever see. What an amazing bit of trickery. Orlov and the official appear to be the only people on the ice […]

The Panthers have an insane holiday ticket deal

The Florida Panthers have an insane ticket offer for the holidays. The package includes two tickets to three different games, two Panthers t-shirts, two passes to Everglades holiday park, an autographed puck and a parking pass for each of the three games. How much will this set you pack? How about just $99?   That’s right […]

GIF: Chris Neil takes out two players with one check

Chris Neil will likely only be credited with one hit for this play, but he deserves two after wiping out David Savard and Jack Johnson with the same check. Two-for-one special! For what it’s worth, a stick also appeared to catch his teammate … so technically that’s three guys all impacted by one hit. Pretty […]

Video: Taylor Hall dragged with stick caught in his skate

It’s guaranteed hilarity when a stick gets caught in a player’s skate. Taylor Hall was tripped up by Trevor Van Riemsdyk and Riemsdyk’s stick got wedged between Hall’s skate blade and boot. As Riemsdyk tried to skate away to follow the play, he pulled Hall along the ice with him. Eventually the official had to […]

Antti Niemi wears a jersey with his name spelled wrong

When Antti Niemi and the Dallas Stars took the ice to warm up prior to their game against the Buffalo Sabres, the goaltender’s uniform confused a lot of fans. Instead of his sweater reading “Niemi” on the back, “Nieme” was incorrectly displayed. Niemi would later wear a different sweater which actually had his name spelled […]

Video: Daniel Sedin scores and almost no one realizes it

Here’s a weird play from the Canadiens-Canucks game. Daniel Sedin fired a shot and it appeared to disappear, presumably in the equipment of Mike Condon. Sedin raised his arms and the announcers said the puck went in, but everyone else on the ice – including the officials – had no idea where the puck went. […]
