The Toronto Maple Leafs completed the 41-game road portion of their 2014-15 schedule with a 5-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The loss, a blowout in which the Leafs weren’t even a little competitive, perfectly summarized how the team played away from home this season. In fact, the club will end the year with the […]

Travis Zajac and the New Jersey Devils have had an awful year. The Devils have been out of the playoff picture for quite some time and are closing out the season with a whimper. Meanwhile, Zajac is going through arguably his worst season in the second year of his eight-year, $46 million contract. As you might imagine, […]

What’s Teemu Selanne up to while teams around the NHL finalize their playoff matchups? He served as a caddie during the Par 3 Contest at the Masters, of course! Specifically, Selanne caddied for Finnish golfer Mikko Ilonen. The NHL pointed out that Teemu was taking up a new sport (he already was an avid golfer, but now […]

The Edmonton Oilers have given up a lot of bad goals this season. What’s one more going to hurt? This time Drew Doughty scores from center ice.

At age 43, Jaromir Jagr is showing no signs of slowing down. In the final year of his current contract, it’s ridiculous that we’re all discussing where he’ll play next instead of planning his retirement ceremony. A few rumors have popped up regarding the next chapter in Jagr’s career, but the most recent report indicates he’ll […]

Charlie Coyle may be receiving a call from the Department of Player Safety after brutally hitting Mark Scheifele in the head with his elbow. The camera angle isn’t the best, but watch as Scheifele’s head snaps back as Coyle’s elbow makes contact. Ouch. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

Someone may need to tell Andrew Shaw that you’re not supposed to leave your feet while making a hit. While attempting to crush Barret Jackman, Shaw flew into the air and provided the perfect example of a hit the NHL needs to eliminate. A couple other angles…

Just when you think you’ve seen it all in hockey, something happens that completely catches you off guard. Such was the case in the shootout between the AHL’s Wolf Pack and Monarchs where one goaltender wasn’t aware the shootout started. Amazingly enough, he still makes the save. How bad does the shooter feel that he […]

John Scott doesn’t do a lot on the ice outside of hitting people and dropping his mitts. When he does something offensively, it’s a moment worth celebrating. The San Jose Sharks realized this and had some fun celebrating Scott’s empty-net goal against the Colorado Avalanche. John Scott at the Waterbury Open.

Kris Russell made NHL history during the Calgary Flames’ loss on the road to the St. Louis Blues. Russell’s two blocked shots gave him 274 on the year, breaking the old NHL record of 273 for most blocked shots in a set by Anton Volchenkov back in 2006-07. Russell’s willingness to sacrifice his body and get […]

We’ve seen a lot of crazy shootout goals this season which have featured intricate, complicated and amazing moves. In the case of Ryan Johansen, sometimes less is more. Johansen essentially unplugs before nudging the puck past Jaroslav Halak. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

Alex Ovechkin has repeatedly stated that he’s happy with the Washington Capitals and has no desire to play for another team. The topic has come up several times, but Ovechkin has continually pledged his allegiance to the Caps. Still … it’s fun to wonder where Ovechkin would want to play if he wasn’t with the […]
