Back in April, Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos responded to low attendance figures and Quebec relocation rumors by stating the following: “The Hurricanes will not become the Nordiques and I can guarantee it.” Well Karmanos might not want to make any more guarantees, because he has reportedly decided to put the future of the Hurricanes in […]

Penguins goalie Matt Murray might want to bail a little quicker when his teammates are fighting past the whistle. Last night’s disastrous loss to the Capitals had its cherry on top of their awful sundae with :23 left in the first period when Evgeni Malkin got into a post-whistle scrap with T.J. Oshie after Oshie […]

Let’s start with Toronto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYojvkK9wTY You might remember this head shot by Nazem Kadri on Daniel Sedin from last Saturday.

Ryan Miller was leaving the bench for an extra skater as the Canucks were down by two goals late on Thursday against the Red Wings. Miller reversed course as Henrik Zetterberg quickly bore down on the wide open net. What happened next resides on the border of ridiculous and sublime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SJROJdpRE4 I can’t tell if […]

Antti Raanta pulled by concussion spotters, Rangers take loss as result

0 comments by on 11/9/2016

The new wrinkle in the NHL this season is the presence of concussion spotters, who can call down to the ice if they think a player is playing with concussion symptoms. It’s happened a small handful of times this season, and on Tuesday it created an odd situation, as it was a goaltender – Antti […]

We knew from the beginning that Max Domi was a different type of player than his father Tie ever was, showing more skill in his pinkies than his father had in his entire career. But that doesn’t mean Max wasn’t paying attention to his dad’s old highlight reels. And he proved it when he faced off […]

Welcome to the fourth edition of “This Week in NHL Stupid” where we track stupidity from all facets of the league.

Loui Eriksson welcomes himself to Vancouver by scoring in his own net

0 comments by on 10/15/2016

Loui Eriksson had better hope that first impressions aren’t everything. He made his Vancouver Canucks debut against the rival Calgary Flames. Anything short of scoring an own goal would have probably been enough to fly under the radar and save himself from being the target of the fans’ ire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt9KxLBfB50 No. Nooooo, nooooo, nooooo, no.
