The World Cup of Hockey has come to a close, and Canada has proven itself to be our hockey overlords once again with a two-game sweep against the rag tag team of European nations that the tournament didn’t have room for. They did it with a scintillating comeback from 1-0 down to win in the […]

Team Canada blasted the Czech Republic in their World Cup opener by a score of 6-0, and one of the main reasons was Bruins pest Brad Marchand. Marchand flourished on a line with Sidney Crosby and Patrice Bergeron as he had three points in the first period to help Canada to a 3-0 lead. Team […]

Panthers go all in, sign James Reimer

The Florida Panthers have made what you might think is an odd free agency day signing: goaltender James Reimer has joined the Cats on a five-year, $17 million deal.
