Here’s something you don’t see very often. Minnesota’s Matt Dumba wound up for a big shap shot and blasted it in the direction of Vancouver’s Derek Dorsett. Remarkably, the shot broke the blade off of Dorsett’s boot. Dorsett tried to get back to his bench, but it wasn’t easy with just one skate. Hilarious. (H/T […]

Before diving into another edition of Hockey Fights of the Week, we have a bone to pick with the NHL. As things currently stand, fighting is legal in the NHL. You may not realize fighting is still legal in the NHL because the game’s officials keep stepping in and breaking up fights. The recent “fight” […]

The Montreal Canadiens escaped TD Garden with two big points against the Boston Bruins and they have Carey Price to thank. Price made some big saves at key moments of the game, but one of the most memorable was when he reached back and used his paddle to swat away a Daniel Paille shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpPdv9TJH78

Jaden Schwartz lost his stick and was scrambling to hunt it down. David Backes to the rescue! Backes skated over the stick and nimbly flips it back into the air to Schwartz. We’ve seen similar plays around the NHL, but Backes completing the flip after already being past the stick is pretty incredible. (H/T Reddit […]

Brad Marchand is pretty familiar with slew-foots. In fact, he was suspended in January for two games for a slew-foot on Derick Brassard. This time Marchand was on the receiving end of a slew-foot courtesy of John Tavares. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODYDl0G8vv0 There was no penalty on the play.

Winnipeg Jets fans aren’t too happy with Evander Kane. The most popular way for NHL fans to show displeasure this season has been to chuck a jersey on the ice, so it wasn’t too surprising to see a Kane shirt find its way to the playing surface following a loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. Is the […]

The Blue Jackets scored seven times against the Blues on Friday night, but the most bizarre was a goal credited to Cam Atkinson. The puck popped into the air off of a stick and hit Scott Hartnell in the helmet. As Hartnell turned to see what hit him, the puck floated up over Brian Elliott […]

The Dallas Stars were a team nearly every hockey website and blog (including this one) believed would be a legitimate contender in 2014-15. As the season winds down, it’s pretty clear that’s not the case as the Stars are struggling to stay out of the basement of the Central. Why have the Stars been so […]

We’ve mocked the media in Winnipeg for basically trying to boot Evander Kane off the Jets. Harsh articles and stern criticism have hovered over Kane throughout his career with the Jets and its mostly been fueled by the local media. After the most recent Kane incident (see: clothes in shower which led to Kane skipping […]

Aleksander Barkov’s goal against the LA Kings was pretty good, but the real highlight of this clip comes from Arley Londono. The Spanish announcer was brought back into the mix with the Panthers in an attempt to connect to Spanish-speaking fans in Florida and so far it’s been a joy to hear his excitement. One of […]

At a recent fundraiser, the Vancouver Canucks split into three teams (USA, World and Sweden) and played Ellen’s Heads Up! game. If you haven’t heard of the game, you download it on your iPad or iPhone and you try to make the person holding the device say or guess what’s on the screen. Other variations include […]

Brace yourself – Hockey is coming back to ESPN. The network we all love to bash for its horrible treatment of the frozen game has won the broadcast rights for the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. The report indicates they beat out both Fox and NBC for the rights. Pretty shocking news. ESPN has a […]
