There’s an amazing transformation when an NHL player suddenly loses a skate blade. Instantly, the player goes from a remarkable skilled and agile athlete to something that resembles a baby animal learning to walk for the first time. Brent Seabrook lost his blade and was stuck trying to make it back to the bench. Sometimes […]

Mats Zuccarello’s head injury sustained from a Ryan McDonagh slapper back in the first round of the playoffs was pretty scary, but the Rangers forward was able to skate off the ice on his own power. The shot forced him to miss the remainder of the playoffs, but it wasn’t until the Rangers were eliminated that the frightening details […]

The NHL is reportedly looking to end the rather odd practice of teams being awarded draft picks when another club hires a fired head coach or general manager. Originally, a rule was put in place which would compensate a team if one of their employees leaves to find employment with a new club. This rule has […]

Jonathan Toews was pretty eager to put on his Western Conference Champions hat after beating the Anaheim Ducks 5-3 in Game 7. Perhaps a bit too eager as he forgot he was still wearing his helmet. No one saw that, right? (H/T Reddit Hockey)

It looks like the Nashville Predators weren’t too happy with the trade they made with the Toronto Maple Leafs which brought Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli to the team back in February. The Predators sent a first-round pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, Olli Jokinen and prospect Brendan Leipsic to acquire the duo in a late effort […]

You really shouldn’t judge a team’s fan base by the actions of one fan, but this Rangers fan makes it awfully difficult. When asked about how much he paid for his front row seat, the fan went on an embarrassing tirade that must be seen to be believed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0WN-MPGqms So cringeworthy.
