It looked like Sidney Crosby failed on his shootout attempt against the Chicago Blackhawks, but one huge bounce changed that thought in a hurry. Crosby backhanded a puck towards the frame but Corey Crawford got his left arm on it. The puck bounced into the air and had enough momentum to carry into the net. […]

The Dallas Stars were trailing 3-0 against the Colorado Avalanche with a little over 10 minutes remaining in the third period. During a stretch of 4-on-4 hockey, the Stars gambled and pulled their goalie in order to have a 5-on-4 advantage. The move paid off almost immediately with Jason Spezza scoring to make things 3-1. […]

Attendance has been a hot topic in San Jose. The Sharks have drawn an average of 17,385 fans through 29 home games and that’s a pretty respectable number compared to other teams in the NHL. That average checks in at the 18th spot so far in 2014-15, but the team has failed to post a […]

Tyler Seguin was forced to leave the game between the Stars and Panthers after Dmitry Kulikov dropped down to deliver a dangerous hit. As Seguin maneuvered the puck through the neutral zone and into the Florida zone, Kulikov bent over and hip checked Seguin around the knee.

Ryan Hartman made quite the impression on his first NHL shift. Just a few seconds into his debut, Hartman crushed Danius Zubrus with a check which popped Zubrus’ helmet right off. Good, clean hit which didn’t result in an unwarranted fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORVeO-8FRyI

The 2014-15 season is over for the Carolina Hurricanes. There are still games left on the schedule, but the Hurricanes have been out of the playoff hunt ever since they failed to pick up a win in the season’s first month. Owning one of the worst records in the NHL, the Hurricanes are on the […]

Jonathan Quick has developed quite the reputation for breaking his goal stick after allowing a bad goal or losing a game late. He may even give Tuukka Rask a run for his money in the stick breaking department. The latest instance occurred in the second period against the Calgary Flames after Quick believe he was […]

Here’s an incredibly sad story out of Vancouver. A fan of the Vancouver Canucks is suing the team after sustaining a serious head injury caused by the barrel of a confetti cannon which fell from the arena’s ceiling during the Canucks’ 2011 playoff game against San Jose. The lawsuit, as reported by the Toronto Sun, details […]

At 42, Jaromir Jagr is still going strong in the NHL and has been at the center of several trade rumors this season. TSN was breaking down all of the potential trade targets and Jagr’s name made the list. There was just one problem – Jagr isn’t 24. It’s a simple typo, but it’s an […]

There have been a ton of trade rumors surrounding Jordan Eberle over the last few months. The forward seems like a likely trading chip for the Edmonton Oilers as they once again try to figure out what it takes to build a winning team. What does Eberle think about all of the trade rumors? Simply, […]

It’s official. Evander Kane is headed to the Buffalo Sabres in a trade which finally closes the book on a turbulent spell with the Winnipeg Jets. As Kane packs for Buffalo, Jets fans (and perhaps the Winnipeg media) will rejoice in the fact all of Kane’s baggage is going with him. The Jets are receiving […]

Antoine Roussel will be hearing from the Department of Player Safety after he viciously cross-checked Adam McQuaid in the throat. McQuaid was dropping the mitts, but instead of being met with punches, Roussel hit him up high with his stick. Some have tried to defend the hit and have said Roussel didn’t mean to hit McQuaid […]

Andrei Vasilevskiy hasn’t seen too much work in Tampa Bay behind Ben Bishop, but he’s been outstanding in the few starts he has seen. That high level of play continued against the Nashville Predators as he made an unreal toe save on Mike Ribeiro. Via

We give the LA media a ton of crap for all of their blunders when covering the Kings, but this time they made a brutal mistake when talking about the city of Columbus. ABC 7 botched the spelling of Columbus. Twice. Colombus. Coloumbus. Wow. Apparently the producer feels bad.
