There are big hits and then there are monstrous hits. Tom Wilson’s crushing blow on Lubomir Visnovsky falls into the latter category. Visnovsky was forced to leave the game with an injury and Wilson was sent to the penalty box for charging.

Steve Ott might be one of the most disliked players in the NHL. Even fans of the St. Louis Blues have a difficult time dealing with his constant chirping and dirty plays away from the puck. Ott’s latest incident occurred at the end of Game 3 between the Blues and the Wild. The Blues trailed […]

The Islanders are playing their final games inside the Nassau Coliseum prior to their move to Brooklyn for the 2015-16 season. Fans are eager to grab a piece of history before the doors close on the Isles’ time in the Coliseum, but they may be a bit too eager if Game 3 was any indication.

Canadians love their hockey. Maybe a bit too much as some fans fought in the stands during Game 3 between the Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Canadiens. The video below shows some pushing and shoving as well as a headlock, but no real punches or brawling. It’s a shame that a playoff series between two […]

Erik Karlsson stepped up the physical side of his game during Ottawa’s Game 3 battle against Montreal, delivering a huge open-ice check to Nathan Beaulieu. Canadiens fans won’t be happy with this one as the initial contact appears to be Beaulieu’s head. There was no penalty called on the play.

Every NHL team has to deal with injuries over the course of the regular season. Though it seems like fans of every team claim to have dealt with the most or the worst injuries, the handy “man-games lost due to injury” statistic reveals which teams had the worst luck when it comes to the injury […]

Dustin Byfuglien is a strong, strong hockey player. We have shared a ton of clips and videos this season proving that fact, but here’s another from Game 2 between the Ducks and Jets. And another angle …

Game 2 between the Minnesota Wild and the St. Louis Blues will likely be remembered for the Blues’ victory and Vladimir Tarasenko’s hat trick, but there was one save from Devan Dubnyk which deserves to be highlighted. The Wild pulled Dubnyk with time winding down in the third, but Dubnyk was forced to make a desperation […]

Jamie Benn narrowly claimed the Art Ross Trophy – an award given to the NHL’s leading scorer – after recording four points in the final game of the Dallas Stars’ season. While that feat was impressive enough as is, it turns out Benn played through a nagging injury all season long. Benn’s scoring title might go […]

Those are two things the Nashville Predators are trying to combat heading into their first round playoff series. When it comes to tickets, the Predators placed geographical restrictions on who can buy tickets online (must be within the […]

The best moment from the Coyotes-Ducks game on Saturday actually occurred prior to the opening faceoff. The Urman family was caught completely by surprise when their son, U.S. Army Sergeant Dan Urman, returned home to join his parents for the ceremonial puck drop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4kw2T9Xm8E Great moment.

The defending Stanley Cup champs won’t have the opportunity to defend their crown. Despite racking up 95 points, the Los Angeles Kings were outside of the playoff picture when the league wrapped up its regular season schedule. Aside from the usual disappointment tied to missing the playoffs, there was reportedly plenty of tension inside the […]

It’s common knowledge that T.J. Oshie and Zach Parise have some nifty moves and some of the best hands in the NHL. However, it’s difficult to appreciate just how good the two players are until you’re down at their level. The latest video from GoPro highlights some insane trickery from the two players, including some […]

If you flip on any NHL broadcast you’re bound to hear a conversation about faceoffs. Specifically, you’ll probably hear a discussion about how a team’s performance in the circle has contributed to the game thus far. There’s nothing wrong with that kind of analysis, but are we all reading too far into faceoffs? Will a high […]

Dion Phaneuf was interviewed following his team’s 5-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets and he provided an interesting response when asked about whether or not he was embarrassed by the Maple Leafs’ most recent loss. Phaneuf thought carefully before responding, but his answer shed some light on what the captain thinks about his current […]
