Here’s a terrifying moment from the Capitals-Hurricanes game. Washington goalie Braden Holtby lost his helmet and the officials were a bit slow to blow the whistle to halt play. Carolina defenseman Justin Faulk fired a shot at the net and immediately realized that a lidless Holtby was laying on the ice. This could have had […]

Erik Johnson was lucky to escape with just a two-minute penalty after boarding Corey Perry late in the third period of his team’s 3-0 win over the Ducks. As Perry played the puck, Johnson hit him square in the numbers and sent him flying into the boards by the bench. Brutal hit. Also worth noting is […]

An article from the Sun Sentinel reveals that the Panthers lost a total of $63.3 million over the last two years. The team suffered a $36 million loss last year and […]

Henrik Lundqvist has made a ton of amazing saves throughout his NHL career. Most of those have taken place while he was inside the crease. This one against the Columbus Blue Jackets broke that rule, as Lundqvist was caught outside of his net by Ryan Johansen. That didn’t stop him from making an amazing save. […]

The Anaheim Ducks had one of the best records in the NHL last season, but unfortunately that success didn’t translate to significant financial gains by the team’s owners. Henry and Susan Samueli have continually stated their commitment to the Ducks, but they recently spoke with the Los Angeles Daily News about the team’s financial woes. “The […]

We’ve seen a lot of hockey players take batting practice or get slightly involved with their local MLB team. Erik Karlsson was recently asked about the sport and his response was pretty hilarious. What position would Karlsson be if he played baseball? Batter, but he’s not really sure what the batter actually does. That’s an […]

The LA Kings and Mike Richards are parting ways after the two sides agreed to a settlement following a fairly ugly contract termination dispute. However, the details of that settlement will surely only raise more eyebrows from Kings fans. Most noteworthy is the fact the Kings will be paying Richards until 2031. Counting 2015-16, Richards […]

The Buffalo Sabres held a fan vote to determine what their new goal song would be for the 2015-16 season. The team correctly decided to ditch their old song, Rock and Roll Part II, due to Gary Glitter’s sickening past. The final vote came down between Let Me Clear My Throat and Swords of a […]

The St. Louis Blues are trying to put another embarrassing early playoff exit behind them. What better way to do that than by scoring on your own net to start the new season? Alex Pietrangelo attempted to clear the puck out to start the penalty kill, but it didn’t go according to plan. He hit […]

Do you think advertisements on uniforms are a bad idea? Wait until you see what’s happening in the ECHL. The league took things to a whole new awful level with these blue nets sponsored by GEICO. Yes, they are actually going to use these things throughout the ECHL. Just horrible.

The Flames fell in their opener 5-1 against the Vancouver Canucks and Girodano had some blunt comments following the game. Via The Score: “That was probably as bad as we can get out there. We’ve got […]

The very first coach’s challenge occurred when the Toronto Maple Leafs hosted the Montreal Canadiens. Jeff Petry fired the puck into the net, but Toronto goalie Jonathan Bernier appeared to be bumped by a Canadiens stick. The play was reviewed and the goal was overturned. The review went fairly quickly (the call was an obvious […]
