I’m sure Alex Burrows has had better nights than the one he had on Sunday, as he learned that when you rough house with the Sabres, they will rough house back with you twice as hard. The Canucks tough guy battled hard in front of the net with Justin Falk and goalie Robin Lehner. Then […]

The NHL had announced a new program where a member from each team’s roster would be an ambassador for the You Can Play project, which promotes diversity, equality, and inclusion with respect to the LGBTQ community.

In what might have been the highlight of Saturday’s All-Star Skills competition (though we all know the Pronger check on Bieber was the real highlight), Ryan Kesler sent his son Ryker to face Carey Price one-on-one in the shootout. The result was priceless:

Mike Smith had his first shutout of the season for the Coyotes in a 3-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. But that doesn’t even begin to tell the story. Smith could have spent the first 28:12 in a lounge chair because the Canucks didn’t register a shot on goal. For an entire period […]

Welcome once again to This Week in NHL Stupid, where we track the ugly, the silly, and the just plain stupid in the world of hockey. Now, some things in life are stupid by their very nature. It’s understood, and what is understood doesn’t need to be discussed. For example, if we at Puck Drunk […]

The Dallas Stars in-arena staff has jokes, lots of jokes. So when incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer insisted that 1.5 million people attended Friday’s presidential inauguration on Saturday, the Stars decided to have a little fun with that when they announced their own attendance for their Saturday night home game: I’m sure pictures […]

Welcome once again to This Week in NHL Stupid, where we track the ugly, the silly and the stupid in the world of hockey. If you’ve never read this feature before, think of it as calling out somebody for dropping Jonathan Toews in their fantasy league. I make that analogy because that actually happened this […]
