The Red Wings – Avalanche alumni game could get nasty

Some might say that all of these outdoor games that the NHL is putting on are bordering on overkill. It might be true according to the hockey fan that hasn’t been at one of these. Sure, you might have run out of novelty with these things. But the Red Wings and the Avalanche are staging another […]

Video: David Pastrnak scores a beauty against the Pens

David Pastrnak had a fairly decent game against the Penguins on Wednesday. He scored two goals including one on a penalty shot. His second one came on a great individual effort: He stole the puck and and put the puck in the net while falling to the ice around Marc-Andre Fleury. (Boston has a special […]

Louis Domingue thinks referees play favorites

The Coyotes dropped a heartbreaker to the Washington Capitals on Monday, and in many ways it was just a simple 3-2 loss. But Louis Domingue, the Arizona goalie, had some interesting things to say after the loss. First off, let’s take a look at the goal that provided the margin of victory: A Mike Richards […]

Video: Craig Smith blocks his own shot from a wide open net

This one, as they say in the business, has to be seen to be believed. But I’ve seen it, and I still don’t believe it. Craig Smith was getting ready to send the Canadiens home in overtime as he received a great pass in the goal mouth, and all that was standing between him and […]

Are the Islanders looking to bolt from Brooklyn?

The New York Islanders were behind the eight ball when they spent their final days in Long Island. Nassau Coliseum was falling apart, and their leverage options were dwindling. So when they worked out a deal to play for 25 years in Brooklyn, it seemed like a good compromise for fans who wanted to see their […]

Video: Joonas Korpisalo gives up long-range clunker to David Legwand

There’s really no reason for you to pay attention to the Buffalo Sabres and the Columbus Blue Jackets on a random, cold Friday night. Unless of course you’re waiting for John Tortorella to pick fights with his players. So you probably missed this bizarre goal that David Legwand scored from his own end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUnpy_i-syg It’s […]

Brad Marchand Forgets He’s Brad Marchand, Scores Sick Goal

We like to put hockey players in a box. Johnny Gaudreau is small and shifty. John Scott is a goon. Brad Marchand is a pest who everybody hates. Well get ready to forget everything you know about hockey players and their narratives, because Brad Marchand will not work within the confines of the box you put […]

Alex Kovalev would make a comeback if you asked him to

The success of Jaromir Jagr at age 43 has apparently gotten into the head of former NHL star Alex Kovalev. Kovalev, who played in parts of 21 seasons with five teams and last played in the league three years ago, has expressed a desire to return to the NHL. And apparently, he’s serious … I think. […]

PK Subban pays homage to Jaromir Jagr

The breakaway challenge in the NHL All-Star Skills Competition has become increasingly silly. And that’s a good thing. Between Patrick Kane’s Superman routine to Alex Ovechkin’s double stick breakaway, there have been some signature moments that people remember more than anything to come out of All-Star weekend.
