Andrew Shaw had James Neal lined up for a big hit near Chicago’s bench. After the initial collision, Neal was teetering along the boards, trying his best to keep his feet on the ice. Shaw would have none of that and pushed Neal the rest of the way over into the Blackhawks’ bench. It’s pretty […]

The Sharks and the Bruins were tied at two after two periods. Despite the deadlocked score, the Sharks were apparently dominating the game, as evidenced by their insane total of 345 shots. We knew Tuukka Rask was good, but wow.

The Meow Game from Super Troopers has made an appearance in the ECHL.

Unfortunately for the Ducks, Brewer’s tenure with the team came to a screeching […]

The Nashville Predators’ broadcast had a bit of fun with Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Michal Jordan. Instead of comparing Jordan to a defenseman on the Predators, they opted for a more lofty comparison. Michal Jordan needs to step up his pace! That, or pick up a basketball. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

There was a frightening moment in the Detroit-Vancouver game when Johan Franzen’s skate came up and cut Alex Burrows on the top of his cheek. Burrows immediately left the ice for repairs, but he was able to return to the ice along with some new stitches. Burrows should be thankful this was a glancing blow […]
