The Winnipeg Jets should probably fire Claude Noel

Christmas is the season of giving. Perhaps it's for the best, then, that the Winnipeg Jets organization give their fans a break and pretend to try to do something about the situation that their team has found themselves in this holiday season. Maybe it's time for Claude Noel to have popped his last lozenge.  There's […]

Video: Chicago Blackhawks’ Christmas greeting is awesome

I will say, that as a Blues fan, I'm far more partial to the Blues' holiday greetings, but the video produced by the Chicago Blackhawks is a close second. Video after the jump. The Hawks are hocking their holiday movie collection, with both awkward and amazing results. Marvel at Nick Leddy's oddly perfect Napoleon Dynamite!  […]

Kyle Quincey, Tom Wilson prove that deterrents to dangerous hits don’t exist

Pictured above is the result of stupidity. Not a sudden rage, but pre-meditated stupidity. Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals lined Flyers forward Brayden Schenn up in his sites and steamrolled him into a boards that'd make a 12 year old playing NHL 14 proud: http://youtube.com/watch?v=89Ldu2k0oKU There's no room for that in the game. None. […]

Kiss the ring: Brad Marchand taunts Vancouver bench

It is a near certainty that no one would ever accuse the Bruins' Brad Marchand of being a classy player. A good player? Yes. A guy you love when he's on your team but hate when he's employed by the other guy? Absolutely. There's something to be said about getting into your opponents' head, but […]

Calgary Flames fire Jay Feaster as general manager

In a move that everyone expected three seasons ago, the Calgary Flames (namely, president of hockey operations Brian Burke, who strikes me as someone who has no patience for dithering) have relieved Jay Feaster and assistant GM John Weisbrod of their duties, effective immediately.The Flames got off to a promising start this season only to […]

On Shawn Thornton, James Neal, stupid actions, and apologies

Saturday night's game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins was, politely worded, a gong show. These two teams don't care much for each other, and that was more than evident in how the game was played. You expect the big hits, but you'd rather see a clean game. That didn't happen Saturday night. The […]

Daniel Sedin didn’t really pull out his tooth

You might remember that earlier this week Daniel Sedin was the victim of a high stick courtesy of Jake Muzzin. It appeared that Daniel pulled his own tooth out to show the ref, and many were puzzled by the fact that it wasn't a four minute minor. Witness the penalty: http://youtube.com/watch?v=hlWJ6jvTsXU?rel=0 Ow. Turns out there […]

Lightning rookie Nikita Kucherov scores first goal on first shot

Every young new player would love to play like Mario Lemieux. Very few successfully emulate him. It was no Monday night for Nikita Kucherov, who scored his first NHL goal tonight on his first shot in his first game: Someone grab that man the puck! The Bolts went on to defeat the New York Rangers […]

Class action complaint filed against NHL over concussions

Fans, players, and the league probably expected this sooner or later. A la former NFL players, a group of former NHL players are suing the league in a class-action suit regarding concussions. The NFL group had about 4500 players involved. Here? Ten. These 10 guys played between 1970 and 1997, and none of them are […]

Winnipeg Jets kill #HelmetPardy radio promo

We all remember the incident a week ago in Chicago where Adam Pardy was knocked into the glass, the glass fell backwards on some fans, and a very drunk guy took the opportunity to steal Pardy's helmet while his significant other made it rain beer on Pardy's head?  If you don't, here. Any who, a local […]

Are other teams calling the Jets about Evander Kane?

Apparently other teams are sniffing around the Winnipeg Jets' best player, Evander Kane. Recent hub bubs regarding Kane being a "healthy scratch" against the Chicago Blackhawks last week have apparently led to rumors that Kane is unhappy playing under coach Claude Noel. As you may remember, Alex Burmistrov had well-known differences with the coach, and […]

Malcom Subban, Scott Stajcer have a goalie fight

Won't someone think of the goalies! Today in a line brawl between the Providence Bruins and the Hartford Wolf Pack, goaltenders Malcom Subban and Scott Stajcer skated out to center ice. This, of course, happened: You'll notice some differences from other recent goalie fights. There were no visible punches to the back of the head, […]

Adam Pardy gets checked through glass, has helmet stolen, gets beer shower

In the fine Chicago tradition of the Wrigley Field bleacher dwellers (Shane Victorino remembers you), Adam Pardy wound up with a beer shower tonight, but not before being checked through the glass and having his helmet ripped off by the beer thrower's husband. Witness the magic: The beer dump is fairly obvious here. No word […]
