Claude Noel admits to emotional goodbye from Winnipeg Jets

In an extremely candid interview with the Winnipeg Free Press‘ Gary Lawless, Claude Noel discusses his firing from the Jets – the firing wasn’t entirely unexpected, but it still choked him up.  I did cry but not there. I felt it was coming. I knew what was happening. I wasn’t shocked by it. It was […]

Nashville Predators say goodbye to Barry Trotz with billboard

It’s not shocking that Barry Trotz was relieved of his coaching duties today (and offered a spot in the Predators organization). The Preds have missed the playoffs the past two seasons, and it appears Trotz has squeezed all of the water from the stone that is the Nashville offense. It’s time for some new blood. […]

Jake McCabe hit on Daniel Paille stuns Bruins winger

The Bruins may’ve had an easy wrap up of the Presidents’ Trophy today, beating Buffalo 4-1, but one of their forwards did not have a smooth game. Daniel Paille, who has been concussed twice this season – once in December and again in March, may’ve suffered a third one in today’s game. This high hit […]

University of Alabama athletic revenue is more than all 30 NHL teams

There are some NHL teams that bring in big bucks, like the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, and Boston Bruins. None of them can touch the juggernaut that is college sports. According to CBS News, the University of Alabama’s athletic revenue is more than the individual revenues of all 30 NHL franchises. For last year, […]

Martin Brodeur is 80% sure he’ll pull a Mike Modano

Martin Brodeur is a New Jersey Devil. For many of us, who have been following hockey since or before his rookie season at age 19, he is the New Jersey Devils. I would be lying if I didn’t breathe a sigh of relief when the trade deadline ended and he was still in New Jersey. […]

Fox Sports North thinks it’s 1994

Listen, pretty much everyone that I know thinks that the old Winnipeg Jets jerseys are wonderful. I’m a former Thrashers fan, and if someone gave me a Selanne or Tkachuk old school Jets jersey, I’d wear it in a nanosecond. As cool as I think the old logo is, I’m also aware that it’s not […]

Rumor: James Reimer is demanding a trade from Toronto this summer

It remains to be seen if the Toronto Maple Leafs can hold on to their wild card position and make the playoffs for the second year in a row. Regardless of if they’re done playing hockey in April or in June, one thing seems to be nearly certain: that game will be James Reimer’s last […]

Ad for Sabres Style girls’ night out is kind of bad

You can't blame the Buffalo Sabres marketing department for trying anything to sell tickets. Their team is just atrocious this year, but they still have to make money. Ladies' night promotions are a thing — the Washington Capitals have been doing them for years — and over 30% of the league's fans are women, so […]

Validation? ESPN poll says the NHL is part of the “Big Four”

I always assumed that the NHL was part of the United States' "Big Four" leagues and sports. Fourth behind Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and the National Basketball Association, of course – but part of the country's top sports nonetheless. Enter ESPN. Confused about what hockey is, and a broadcaster of every sport […]

Roberto Luongo traded back to the Florida Panthers

It's finally over. After three years of dragging goaltender Roberto Luongo on regarding his future, the Vancouver Canucks' goaltending controversy ends with a trade. Eddie Lack has a new partner in young goaltender Jacob Markstrom, and Luongo is heading back where he put up some outstanding numbers: the Florida Panthers. Luongo and his huge contract […]

Wild surprise trade for Bryzgalov leaves Brodeur out in the cold

So much for Martin Brodeur heading off to wear a different team's Christmas sweater. The goaltender, who is in his final two months of his last contract, was attached to the Wild via rumors – but apparently those rumors aren't worth the Twitter they were tweeted on. The Minnesota Wild have effectively ended the Niklas […]
