Though his best goal total in a season was 30 in 2011-12 and last year he lit the lamp just 19 times, Kane told the Ottawa Sun he’s capable of […]

Valtteri Filppula has a pretty hard shot. How hard is it? Enough to blaze across a highway and rip another billboard in two. As seen on Reddit Hockey, Filppula is on one side of the highway taking a slapper. The Tampa Bay Lightning also purchased a billboard on the other side of the road with […]

Rejoice, NHL fans! Your team’s sweater won’t be carrying an advertisement on it this season. As seen in a report on TSN.ca, the league’s team presidents met and decided to hold off on placing advertisements on uniforms until other major leagues take the initial plunge. The decision is a noteworthy one, as it’s estimated that […]

The Anaheim Ducks had their players man the front desk, the elevator and the phones as they surprised unsuspecting fans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kPy92LkUmo

This new punishment system consists of a warning for the first offense, a $1,000 fine for the second offense, $2,000 for the third offense and so on until the player reaches a cap of $5,000 per dive. The interesting […]

One of the many rule changes the NHL rolled out for 2014-15 is the expansion of the trapezoid. By adding a couple of feet to both sides of the shape behind the goaltender’s net, the hope is that play will be kept at a higher pace as goalies play the puck out rather than having […]

Now he’s making waves again because he was sporting a shirt with Vladimir Putin and the words “Crimea is Ours” in Russian. As you might imagine, the response to his shirt was met with groans from Avalanche […]

Most fans and hockey experts have acknowledged – perhaps repeatedly – that the Ilya Bryzgalov experiment in Philadelphia was a disaster of epic proportions. In situations like these, one which forces a contract to be bought out, the team responsible rarely acknowledges the mistake and often never speaks of the player in question. That hasn’t […]

Watch Steven Stamkos shoot pucks through the uprights. As cool as it is seeing Stamkos split the posts from some serious deep yardage, the star of the show is the fact this video brings back the idea of the glowing puck. Feel free to debate the legitimacy of this video, but it’s still cool seeing […]
