The Dallas Stars may have the most entertaining jumbotron in the NHL. Whether it’s mocking the city of Winnipeg or calling out North Korea, the humor on display is extremely clever and usually brilliant. This time the Stars targeted that awful Nationwide ad from the Super Bowl. Well played.

Mike Green’s future with the Washington Capitals is a mystery. The debate over whether the Capitals should deal him prior to the trade deadline or retain him for the remainder of the year and potentially let him walk over the summer has likely been a big source of frustration for the defenseman. Green took all of […]

Daniel Carcillo has a pretty colorful history when it comes to fines and suspensions from the NHL. The Blackhawks forward usually skates on a pretty fine line when it comes to playing aggressive hockey and dangerous hockey, so it came as no surprise that he was suspended for six games after an ugly cross check […]

Henrik Lundqvist knows how to use his head. He recently stopped a puck with his throat and now he used his head to make a rather crafty pass to his teammate. It was a risky play, but you can tell Lundqvist knew he wasn’t going to be able to get his glove up in time. (H/T Reddit […]

The All-Star break is over which means it’s time to get back to doing one of the things we enjoy most – Hockey Fights of the Week! We took a week off as the All-Star break basically meant we only would’ve had a few fights to choose from, so we combined two weeks into one. […]

The specific complaint involves additional wear and tear on the game’s best skaters. Via USA Today, Mathieu Schneider on 3-on-3 hockey: “My real concern is that top […]

The Tyler Myers rumors are heating up again. After a ton of speculation indicated the Detroit Red Wings were pushing hard for Myers, the rumor mill quieted down during the All-Star break. Now it’s heating back up and the Anaheim Ducks are the latest team connected to Myers. Via the Ottawa Sun, the Ducks are […]

Seeing an NHL player with a stick caught in his visor is one of the most amusing scenes in hockey. A more hilarious scene is when an official has a stick caught in his visor, but that’s a rare sight. Luckily for all of us, the Flames-Oilers game delivered just that. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

There was a scary moment in the Rangers-Hurricanes game when goaltender Henrik Lundqvist took both a stick and a puck to the throat. A stick appears to lift Lundqvist’s mask at the exact moment a puck was fired at the net. Lundqvist writhed on the ice, but soon was able to collect himself and remained […]

This might be in the running for best GIF of 2014-15. With his team trailing the Ottawa Senators by a 6-2 score, Arizona Coyotes GM Don Maloney can only shake his head in disbelief. That disbelief soon transforms into boredom (he yawns), then returns to disbelief (more head shaking) before settling on pure frustration (head […]

It’s been a long time since we’ve had some positive news about Nathan Horton. Back in October, we discussed how Horton’s degenerative back condition was far worse than previously thought and that the forward’s career was in jeopardy. Since the time of that report, information on Horton has been scarce if not nonexistent. Most hockey fans […]

We all know that the Buffalo Sabres are one of the worst teams in the NHL. That statement isn’t exactly a revelation. However, all of the headlines detailing how bad the team is have died down as the story is now all too familiar. You can only say a team is bad so many times. […]

Are you an NHL purist who hopes the league returns to its roots and makes teams wear white at home and dark colors on the road? It turns out you’re not alone as Gary Bettman has revealed that the topic is a hotly contested one during Board of Governors meetings. Unfortunately for those in favor […]

Put the puck on net and good things happen. It turns out that motto is especially true when you’re about to kill a penalty and you’re facing the Toronto Maple Leafs. It really doesn’t get much easier than this.

A report from TSN indicates that various NHL sponsors have been informed that the jerseys during the World Cup of Hockey in 2016 will feature advertisements. Placing the ads on the uniforms during the World Cup would be a trial to determine what the backlash might be should the NHL move forward and place ads […]
