It usually takes something pretty special to beat a goaltender from center ice. For Dwight King, it was an insane second bounce which kicked the puck up and over Martin Brodeur. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-AVWLitOYM

Imagine you’ve made an amazing save on an extremely tough shot and the puck is now resting on the goal line. As the puck rests in its precarious position, your defenseman swoops in and pushes the puck across and into the net. If the above scenario would send you into a fit of rage, you […]

If you hate diving and embellishment in the NHL, you’ll be pleased to know that the league has handed out their first fine for diving. James Neal of the Nashville Predators was the lucky recipient of the $2,000 fine for embellishment after he dove against the San Jose Sharks back on December 13th. Neal was […]

Dougie Hamilton tried to make a nifty spin move to create an offensive chance but things didn’t go too well. As he spun, Hamilton wiped out and looked pretty silly. Later, the arena replayed his “move” and Hamilton could sum things up with one choice word. (H/T

The NHL is currently testing the waters in Las Vegas to see if the city would be a proper fit for a future professional hockey team. All signs are currently pointing to the league expanding to the Sin City, barring some sort of major surprise. Expansion always comes with a large amount of risk, but […]

Claude Giroux is all the hockey world is talking about after he appeared to wipe his nose and then wipe his hand on an NHL official prior to a faceoff. It’s not clear what Giroux is actually doing, but it definitely looks like he’s ditching his boogers on the linesman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7K6KQuD3P8

The Washington Capitals and the Florida Panthers are in the NHL record books after participating in the longest shootout in league history. The skills competition lasted 20 rounds (not a typo) and featured some truly laughable efforts from several defensemen. If you have 18 minutes to spare, watch this in its entirety. Roberto Luongo’s reaction […]

The San Jose Sharks put out an intentionally horrible video for the holidays titled Holiday Sweater. The result was probably worse than any of the players and coaches could have imagined. Here’s a look at the Sharks watching their awful video for the very first time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHH7iBa3gwQ

John Tavares was frustrated with Marek Zidlicky after a collision at center ice. Tavares took exception to Zidlicky’s knee/trip and retaliated with a spear in the groin. Remarkably, the spear only resulted in a two-minute penalty for slashing.

The Edmonton Oilers are a fascinating group to follow. Perhaps the most mismanaged franchise the sport has seen in recent memory is reportedly preparing to shop around Taylor Hall. This comes from a new report from Darren Dreger who believes the Oilers are ready to deal the talented young forward. The full transcript of Dreger’s […]

Did last week’s fights deliver one of the best of 2014-15? You be the judge, but we’re always excited when two captains start throwing punches. Aside from that, the other major story here involves NHL officials and the fact they’re breaking up fights earlier and earlier. Unless you’re going to ban fighting, ban it, otherwise […]

The Los Angeles Kings have been a difficult team to analyze so far in 2014-15. At home, the Kings are a strong side with an 11-4-1 record. On the road, their record is 4-6-5. It’s been a tale of two teams and the Kings are currently performing below the great expectations assigned to the defending Stanley […]

When Sidney Crosby was recently interviewed by the media, no one could take their eyes off the right side of his face. Crosby’s puffy cheek seemed to be a pretty clear indicator that he had the mumps, but the team was cautious in saying why they were resting the star forward this weekend. The Penguins […]

Tomas Hertl has one of the best personalities in hockey and it’s always a joy to hear him interviewed. Try not to smile as he describes the action during the intermission between the Sharks and Predators. His comment about how happy he is to score because “not too many goals this year,” is tremendous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS03c0lFPG4 […]

The NHL hasn’t even decided on whether or not a team will be calling Las Vegas home, but that hasn’t stopped one prospective owner from thinking about team names. William Foley, the man linked to a Vegas club, had an interview with Elliotte Friedman and he revealed what he had in mind as far as team names […]
