The NHL is a story of the haves and the have nots. A handful of teams are thriving and posting big revenues while others are struggling to draw 10,000+ fans on a consistent basis. A new study from Forbes has revealed that just six teams were responsible for 76% of the NHL’s total operating income […]

The Arizona Coyotes have stumbled out of the gate in 2014-15. As the team struggles to crawl out of the basement in the Pacific, Mike Smith perfectly summed up the club’s performance this year with a stumble of his own. Smith ventures behind the net, falls down and the Ducks capitalize. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1n_E9AEAF0

Our last installment of Hockey Fights of the Week was arguably the best of the 2014-15 season. How did the league’s warriors follow up on that outstanding collection of fights? There were fewer fights around the league, but the ones we did see were gems.

The Edmonton Oilers are once again in the basement of the NHL. With just over 20 games complete on the Edmonton schedule, it’s already clear that the team is not a contender and will once be open to trading their assets. Usually you won’t see any major deals until the league draws closer to its trade deadline […]

The Edmonton Oilers and Andrew Ference had a Saturday night they’re going to want to forget. Though the league has been focused on Toronto and the issues there, the Oilers have once again proved they can’t compete on a nightly basis in the NHL. It looks like another embarrassing year. The team’s troubles may be […]

You may recall that the NHL was toying around with the idea of ditching the dry scrape between the third period and overtime. The belief has been that the dry scrape takes too long and fans have grown impatient over a delay which results in a negligible benefit. The league has had some time to […]

Sergei Bobrovsky is going to want this one back. Dennis Seidenberg started his slapper from the red line and released his shot while he was still in the neutral zone. The puck stayed along the ice and managed to slip past Bobrovsky.

This is an odd one. After Daniel Briere scored to make it a 1-1 game against the Washington Capitals, the CSN broadcast displayed an interesting graphic. Usually these tend to mention how many goals the player has scored so far that season or something along those lines. Instead, CSN chose to display when Briere last […]

Vladimir Tarasenko didn’t weave through a sea of defensemen or stop time while faking a goaltender out of his pads, but he did score another nifty goal. Here Tarasenko swats the puck out of the air and past Carey Price for his 11th of the year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G214V7Atv0M

The Edmonton Oilers are a fascinating bunch. Aside from all of the struggles and disappointing results, it seems like bizarre situations and general oddities seem to follow the Oilers around from arena to arena. In their game against the Vancouver Canucks, the Oilers elected to play a man down for approximately 20 seconds. Despite being […]
