As violent and physical as the game of hockey might be, many times the sport provides fans with some truly uplifting and memorable stories. The most recent involves the Chicago Blackhawks, Patrick Sharp and 16-year-old Christina DeVries. Not long ago, the Blackhawks ran an ad campaign which asked fans “What’s Your Goal?” and Christina responded that she […]

The goaltending situation in Calgary is a pretty confusing one. There’s a possibility the Flames will roll with three goaltenders (Jonas Hiller, Karri Ramo and Joni Ortio), but head coach Bob Hartley has said that he hates the idea of using roster space on a third netminder and will play the situation by ear. Well, […]

This might be one of the best hits so far in 2014-15. Alex Galchenyuk spun with the puck in an attempt to find some space, but instead all he found was Bobby Ryan. Give Ryan credit for timing his hit perfectly. Even Montreal fans will have to tip their cap to this crunching check. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

Did you watch Buffalo’s ceremony for goaltender Dominik Hasek? If you missed it, you may be relieved to know that you really didn’t miss much. The Sabres had Hasek’s number painted behind the nets and raised a banner featuring his number. That’s about it. No special tributes, no former teammates and nothing worth tuning in to […]

NHL official Brad Watson had an embarassing moment during the Ducks-Leafs game on Wednesday night. When announcing the decision of a review, Watson slipped up and started to say Atlanta before correcting himself by saying Anaheim. The look on his face when he realizes what he’s saying, specifically when he realizes he has said the […]

Corey Perry is currently in the second year of his eight-year, $69 million contract with the Anaheim Ducks. With Perry locked up through 2020-2021, it’s pretty difficult to imagine him in a different uniform. However, only a couple years ago Perry considered joining the Toronto Maple Leafs. The LA Times recently spoke with Perry and […]

Do you miss the old days when the Phoenix Coyotes (now the Arizona Coyotes) wore crazy uniforms that had a Coyote holding a hockey stick surrounded by a ton of colors and designs? Of course you do. Who doesn’t? Rejoice, original Coyotes fans. The team will return to their roots on March 5th and bring […]

Ryan Suter may be in hot water with the NHL after he delivered a pretty nasty elbow to the face of Steve Downie. As Downie tried to pass, Suter tried to get a piece of him and his elbow flew up high into Downie’s face. It’s difficult to decipher intent, but it looks like a hit worthy […]

Hockey fans have been affectionately calling Calgary rookie Johnny Gaudreau by the name of Johnny Hockey for quite some time now. Gaudrea’s successful rookie campaign with the Flames to date has drawn comparisons to Johnny Manziel’s college career and thus the Johnny Hockey name was born. For most, the nickname has been just a bit […]

Always keep your head up out on the ice. Mike Santorelli apparently forgot this rule and Drew Doughty made him pay. Watch as Santorelli completely ignores his surroundings and tries to get a shot off only to be crushed by Doughty. Doughty smash!

You’ve probably heard a ton of rumors around the NHL featuring Tyler Myers. Lots of teams want the defenseman, but to date the Sabres haven’t given any indication that they actually want to trade Myers away. While that may change in the future, GM Tim Murray has made it clear that he hasn’t actively shopped Myers […]

Everyone loves a good, lengthy hockey fight. Usually the more balanced the better, but sometimes it’s extremely satisfying to see a fight which has one clear winner. This week’s list is loaded with lopsided bouts, so put down your scorecard and get ready to watch some brutal victories. 5. Tim Gleason (CAR) vs Barret Jackman (STL) […]

Darryl Sutter has an idea on how the NHL can bring some life to the All-Star Game. Instead of the league splitting up into two teams or instead of having two players draft a squad, Sutter would like to see the reigning Cup champion take on a team of the league’s best. Here’s Sutter’s take, […]

Last season provided several water bottle incidents to discuss, but to date the 2014-15 campaign has been free from water squirting stories. Andrew Shaw changed that and provided the first of 2014-15 when he sprayed Pierre McGuire with his bottle during Patrick Sharp’s interview. It’s safe to assume Pierre enjoyed it.

Dan Boyle returned to San Jose for the first time on Saturday night when the Sharks hosted the New York Rangers. During a stoppage, the Sharks played a video honoring Boyle’s six years in San Jose and the crowd delivered a huge standing ovation. Boyle’s smile couldn’t have been much larger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYdXFP_UDmc
