Glass shattering at a hockey game is an extremely dangerous situation. It’s actually remarkable that we don’t hear about serious injuries more often considering how many times we’ve seen glass shatter in the lower levels of hockey. Another scary incident occurred down in the ECHL between the Wichita Thunder and the Quad City Mallards. Todd […]

Things are getting uglier and uglier in Edmonton. The Oilers are 1-6-3 over their last 10 games and the team is starting to implode upon itself. After getting the hook in the second period against the Anaheim Ducks, Viktor Fasth slammed his helmet down and took out his frustrations on his teammates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLSEA0fbexA

This is a goal you’re going to have to watch a few times over in order to appreciate all of its nuances. Sekac appears to lose the puck on at least two occasions while bending the laws of physics at least once. Just when it looks like the Kings escaped disaster, Sekac pulls out the […]

Alex Chiasson thought he had an easy goal. After a fortunate bounce which left Chiasson in all alone with Jonathan Quick, Chiasson took his time and tried to go around Quick and lift the puck over the LA goaltender. There was just one problem – Quick’s glove had the shot predicted perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur0_–fMKVc

The most recent came from the Windsor Star which stated Babcock was about to sign a contract extension to remain with the Detroit Red Wings. Considering all of the rumors/reports/speculation we’ve seen suggesting the seasoned coach is on his way […]

One of the best moments during a hockey game is when an organization takes a moment to recognize a member of the armed forces. The Anaheim Ducks went one step further and flew in a soldier to surprise his wife who believed she’d be Skyping with him on the jumbotron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzfg3dSyyLA

Hockey players are tough. Real tough. So tough that they’ll lose some teeth or part of an ear, go in and get stitched up only to return and finish out the remainder of the game. Despite their hard exterior, most NHL players are big softies. Ever wonder which movies made these NHL stars cry? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hToywIY5V7A Pretty […]

The Buffalo Sabres are ready and willing to trade Chris Stewart. After Stewart was used as a healthy scratch, the writing was more or less on the wall that the club was prepared to move on. This rumor has been around for several weeks, but some more fuel was added to the fire in a new Pierre […]

The Dallas Stars have some creative people running their jumbotron. Their most recent noteworthy item was a list of reasons to visit Winnipeg. Compiling the list proved to be a difficult task.

Players weren’t specifically named, but it was believed a top-6 forward was involved. Now a new report from The Fourth Period has surfaced suggesting the Blues are shopping Patrik Berglund in […]

The Carolina Hurricanes are bringing up the rear in the Eastern Conference and as a result the team’s broadcast hasn’t had too much to talk about. When the Hurricanes hosted the New Jersey Devils, the broadcast obsessed over an empty chair sitting near the New Jersey bench. They discussed at length who has been sitting in […]

This one is painful to watch. David Backes took a slapper from T.J. Oshie right in the face. He immediately left the game, but returned in the second period sporting a full cage. He then left for the remainder of the night after playing four shifts in the second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db-sN_5fT1Y

The 2014-15 season may be remembered as the season in which the sport of hockey pushed away from fighting. Players are still dropping the mitts, but they are doing so at a greatly reduced rate. Last season we typically were reviewing 20-30 fights each week and now we’re lucky if we have 15 or more. […]

Evander Kane earned a 10-minute misconduct and a five-minute checking from behind major penalty for this hit on Clayton Stoner. Will the NHL hand out some additional discipline for this ugly hit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHNK15fhz7A
