Nashville Magazine has reminded us of the joys of stock footage. If you’re going to use stock footage, try to make sure the player you feature is still on the team. David Legwand was the face of the Predators for roughly a decade, but he left in 2013-14 and joined Detroit. Now, Legwand is skating […]

The time has come to start making some assessments. The 2014-15 season is still fairly young, but teams have played enough games for us to dish out some praise and criticism. There’s already been some surprising stories and the PDL team got together and discussed some of the topics which have caught us off-guard. Laura […]

The 2014-15 season is still pretty young, but already it’s clear Ryan Kesler feels comfortable with the Anaheim Ducks. As expected, he has been a key piece of the team’s offense and he has helped propel Anaheim to the top of the Western Conference. Perhaps more importantly, Kesler is also enjoying his life away from the […]

Dustin Byfuglien should expect a call from the NHL’s Department of Player Safety. After Steve Downie tallied a goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Byfuglien checked him awkwardly into the boards. As you might expect, Downie wasn’t too happy and tried to jump Big Buff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRukQhoY_Vc The punishment during the game was a fitting example of […]

Every sport seems to have a few stories about kids who are amazing at the game at a seriously young age. Hockey world, meet Iguchi Aito. This 11-year-old Japanese boy is taking the hockey world by storm after videos of his skills hit YouTube. He’s good. Really, really good. Aito shows off some nasty dangles, some nifty […]

We try to keep our focus at PDL on the ice, but every now and then a story comes along involving a former player which is so bizarre we can’t help but throw a few words in its direction. Sean Avery is a former player we’ve covered at length due to his various quotes and […]

The Chicago Blackhawks unveiled their uniforms for the 2015 Winter Classic against the Washington Capitals and they’re pretty underwhelming. It’s not that the uniforms are bad (they’re not), it’s just that they’re nearly identical to the team’s current road uniforms. Look at the photo below to see the away sweaters and compare them to the […]

The Red Wings have been on the wrong end of a ton of calls recently. Perhaps the most obvious example was the goal which was disallowed due to goaltender interference. Maybe it’s because of those recent injustices that the officials turned a blind eye to this obvious Too Many Men penalty. That’s a pretty bad […]

It’s time to talk about the financial situation in Florida again. The Panthers are a team in the red, but that’s not exactly new information. If you’ve seen the attendance figures so far this year, you’re aware that they’re averaging just over 9,000 fans per night through their first four home games. As for last year, […]

The first month of 2014-15 is officially in the books. So far the year has yielded plenty of surprises, a ton of talking points and some memorable fights. As we’ve mentioned in one of our previous installments, the number of fights seems to be on the decline which makes our job a difficult one. Teams […]

Here’s a new defensive tactic for you. AHL goaltender David Leggio of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers got creative when he realized he was facing down a 2-on-0 rush. Instead of letting the opposition walk in alone on goal, Leggio turned around and knocked the net off of its moorings.

Goalie playing the puck fail! Jonas Hiller stretched out to stop the puck, missed and went flying. No harm done as Calgary had the man advantage, but it’s safe to say Hiller’s pride took a knock.
