Goalies are an odd breed. You probably don’t need any more proof of that if you’ve ever watched hockey, but the Washington Capitals provided us all with another example during their development camp. We’re not sure if this was a drill or just some fun, but here’s a game of goalie tag. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

The bromance between Eddie Lack and Roberto Luongo is one of the strongest (and most entertaining) in the NHL. How deep does the love run? So deep that Lack placed a picture of Luongo on his new goalie mask. The full reveal of Lack’s new Carolina Hurricanes mask looms in the future, but it’s fair […]

Flipbooks are awesome. Flipbooks based on hockey are even better. You might remember when The Flippist put out an incredible flipbook featuring Vladimir Tarasenko’s goal against the New York Rangers. This time they’re honoring the Chicago Blackhawks and their Stanley Cup victory.

What would you do if you could spend a day with the Stanley Cup? If you’re Andrew Desjardins, you start the day by eating a huge amount of Lucky Charms out of the Cup. That Cup has been in a lot of places and had a lot of babies sitting inside it, so we certainly […]

Roberto Luongo’s Twitter account is a constant source of entertainment. This proved true once again when a fan asked for a birthday wish from the world’s greatest goaltender. Here’s the request from the fan: And Luongo passed on the request to the world’s greatest goaltender, Carey Price. Hilarious.

Alexander Semin is a forward without a team after the Carolina Hurricanes bought out the remainder of his contract. The move will be one which lingers with the Hurricanes for quite some time as they’ll carry a cap hit of just over $2.3 million through 2020-21, but Semin’s future is far more uncertain. Some reports indicated […]

Kevin Roy of the Anaheim Ducks scored an incredible goal during the team’s prospect camp. Roy received the puck near the goal and nimbly shifted the puck between his legs and fired it over the goaltender. Amazing skill from the 22-year-old.

Adjusting to life as a professional hockey player can be challenging, so the Edmonton Oilers devised a prospect camp which not only covers on-ice topics but also teaches young prospects about nutrition and a proper diet. The prospects were split into teams and were challenged to go shopping, stay within their budget and create a couple dishes […]

Shortly after the Predators were eliminated, both Kostitsyn and Radulov left the NHL and returned to Russia. Now, Kostitsyn is ready to return to the NHL and he’s […]

Did you watch the 2015 NHL Draft? The answer to that question is probably “no” based on the ratings which have been released from the event’s first round. A total of 252,000 viewers turned on NBCSN to watch coverage of the draft’s first round. That number represents a 25% drop from last year’s 337,000 viewers […]

The LA Kings terminated Mike Richards’ contract with the team and so far details have been difficult to find. It was easy to speculate that the termination was due to an off-ice incident, but the specifics have been kept under wraps. Pierre McGuire suggested the incident occurred at the Canadian border and now TMZ suggests […]
