0 comments by on 1/6/2015

The era of advanced statistics may truly be upon hockey fans. The NHL will be placing player-tracking chips inside the sweater of each player competing in the skills competition and the All-Star Game. The chip will record how fast a player skates, how far they’ve traveled, where they’re positioned and several other statistics which can then […]

Hockey Fights of the Week: 12/29 – 1/4

0 comments by on 1/5/2015

Spoiler alert: Possibly our favorite hockey fight moment of the season took place last week. You probably already saw it as we covered it heavily when it happened, but how often do you see a guy punch himself in the head during a fight? Oh, there were also four other fights which were pretty solid […]

Video: Bobby Farnham was mic’d up in the penalty box

0 comments by

Few things are quite as entertaining in hockey as when a player is mic’d up during a game. The Penguins placed a mic on Bobby Farnham and it delivered a memorable moment with Colorado’s Cody McLeod. After the two dropped the mitts, McLeod shouted a few words of advice to Farnham.

GIF: Luongo and Ovechkin collide, Upshall makes a crazy save

0 comments by

There was a crazy moment in the Capitals-Panthers game when Alex Ovechkin and Roberto Luongo skated towards a loose puck in the Florida zone. The two collided in spectacular fashion and as Luongo lay on the ice, the Capitals fired the puck at the vacated net. The goal wouldn’t have counted as play was stopped, […]

Minnesota Wild call recent loss “rock bottom”

0 comments by

The Minnesota Wild fell to the Dallas Stars by a lopsided 7-1 score on Saturday night. The club has already been accused of “not having a winning attitude” by head coach Mike Yeo and that appeared to be on full display in a dismal road effort. The Wild have slipped to 6th in the Central […]

GIF: T.J. Oshie makes San Jose’s defense look silly

The Sharks are going to be hearing about this one. T.J. Oshie swiftly carried the puck through the Sharks’ defense and scored a nifty goal on Saturday night. While Oshie deserves a ton of praise, it’s worth noting that the Sharks were a bit too content to watch the play develop rather than do something […]

Silly: Six All-Star Game players named, five are Blackhawks

0 comments by on 1/3/2015

The NHL All-Star Game is an event most serious hockey fans mock. The event is a high-scoring affair which barely resembles hockey due to the fact checking is removed and defensive play is thrown out the window. Fans are usually more concerned about the health of their team’s participants as opposed to how well they […]

Report: It’s a “virtual lock” the Coyotes trade Antoine Vermette

The Arizona Coyotes are slipping further and further out of the playoff picture and that has fans and analysts wondering what the club will do when it comes to rebuilding for the future. One of the names you’ve probably seen discussed is Antoine Vermette and it’s appearing more likely that he’ll be dealt in the […]

How can the NHL improve the Winter Classic?

0 comments by PDL Staff on 1/2/2015

The 2015 Winter Classic received a ton of criticism. You may recall a column we ran suggesting the Winter Classic had lost its luster and the lackluster ratings from the game went a long way in supporting that fact. The event is still an extremely profitable one for the NHL due to ticket revenue and […]

Billy Idol wasn’t exactly sure what the Winter Classic was

0 comments by

Billy Idol was certainly a questionable choice to play at the Winter Classic. The NHL has routinely demonstrated they have no clue what’s going on when it comes to music and they provided yet another example by giving Idol a short segment during one of the league’s marquee events. Aside from the hilarious Tweets and […]

Dallas Stars are “probably a ways off” from hosting outdoor game

0 comments by

Now that the NHL has hosted an outdoor game successfully in California, will the league target southern areas such as Florida or Texas? Gary Bettman has already rained on the idea of Florida hosting a Winter Classic or Stadium Series game, but is Texas still a possibility? According to Dallas Stars president Jim Lites, an […]
