UPDATE: Looks like the Tweets might be fake, but they’re still entertaining. ***** Hockey players receive a ton of mean and nasty feedback through social media. While some fans might enjoy spouting off through the protection of the Internet, the real entertainment comes when the players read those Tweets out loud for our enjoyment.

How do you keep opposing fans out of your building during the playoffs? That’s the question that has plagued several teams not only during the playoffs, but throughout the regular season. The St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators and others have created a variety of ways (you have to buy tickets to multiple games, for instance) […]

Dustin Byfuglien is applauded for his huge hits and monstrous checks, but this time he crossed the line with a nasty cross-check to the back of J.T. Miller’s neck.

Sometimes a visor just isn’t enough in the sport of hockey. Drew Miller learned that the hard way after taking Mark Stone’s skate to the face during a faceoff. Warning: This GIF will make you cringe. The GIF doesn’t show that Miller immediately skated off while holding his face. Miller did have some serious injuries:

Chairman and President of Hockey Vision Las Vegas Bill Foley speaks during a news conference at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino announcing the launch of a season ticket drive to try to gauge if there is enough interest in Las Vegas to support an NHL team on February 10, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The effort to bring the NHL to Las Vegas recently hit a significant milestone. Reports indicate that the group has surpassed their goal of 10,000 down payments on season tickets. The report states that the 10,000 figure is made up of individuals and small businesses and not any of the major businesses or casinos in […]

Here’s something you don’t see often. Patrik Nemeth was skating back on defense when the puck was flipped in his direction. The puck struck Nemeth in the most perfect way and lodged between his face and his visor.

If you don’t follow college hockey, you’re missing out on some truly crazy and exciting games. Take the Miami University – Province College elimination game for example. Province held a 6-2 lead with 13 minutes remaining in the third period. Instead of packing it in, Miami pulled their goaltender and rattled off three goals while their […]

Matt Martin has once again made NHL history. Back in 2011-12, Martin set an NHL record for most hits in a season with 374. That record didn’t stand long as Martin just surpassed it during his team’s 5-4 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. Martin finished the game with a total of 377 […]

Vincent Lecavalier’s time with the Philadelphia Flyers has been beyond disappointing. Signed to a five-year, $22.5 million contract prior to the 2013-14 season, it was clear that Lecavalier would be held to some high expectations. The hope was that he’d benefit from new scenery after having his contract bought out by the Tampa Bay Lightning […]

Hockey players wear a lot of equipment, but the helmet is by far the most important piece they wear. With that in mind, it’s critical that the helmets worn in youth, amateur and professional hockey provide the necessary protection needed during a game. Unfortunately, a recent study indicates that a large percentage of helmets aren’t […]

One of the biggest hits in the Canadiens-Panthers game came between two teammates. Carey Price played the puck behind the net while P.K. Subban pursued Jaromir Jagr. Subban lost an edge and slid into the back of Price’s legs, knocking him to the ice. One of the best parts of this clip is Jagr skating back […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a frustrated group and tempers finally boiled over during the team’s practice on Friday. Phil Kessel and David Booth engaged in a brief altercation during a scrimmage before it was broken up by the other players. These things happen and shouldn’t be blown out of proportion, but it’s difficult not […]

You might remember back in January we discussed the fact the NHL was going to be experimenting with cameras inside the goal posts. The objective being that the league would have another look to call on for goal reviews and the new angle might allow for a better view of close plays. At the time, […]
