Alex Ovechkin out of the All Star Game with an injury

0 comments by on 1/28/2016

The National Hockey League had such grand plans for their new 3-on-3 All Star format. They were going to inject new life into a game that had increasingly grown stale. But there’s one problem: The “Star” in “All-Star” was subject to an increasingly liberal definition. This year’s extravaganza in Nashville already had an image problem […]

Dustin Byfuglien tricks his way to a center ice goal

0 comments by on 1/27/2016

Poor Louis Domingue. The Coyotes goalie thought that Dustin Byfuglien was going to dump the puck in the corner last night. And with good reason … Byfuglien acted as if he was going to dump it. But Domingue didn’t have the option of reading this viral story after the fact, where he would have been […]

TV station catches Alex Ovechkin pumping gas

0 comments by on 1/22/2016

The Ducks/Capitals game was postponed on Friday night because of Winter Storm Jonas. So instead of covering hockey, local stations instead covered the storm and the people preparing for it. One local D.C. station managed to cover both at the same time completely by accident. WUSA’s roving cameras caught Alex Ovechkin … now with more free […]

Hello tweetsters! It’s time to catch up on the social media craze that is NHL Twitter for Week 15.

0 comments by on 1/11/2016

While the romance of numbers left us a long time ago in other sports for various reasons, the 500 goal mark in hockey is still special. Perhaps more special now than it has ever been.

Awkward: Ryan Johansen and Seth Jones meet up at the airport

0 comments by on 1/8/2016

Trades happen. They happen all the time. There will be many more trades that happen in this game, but I bet you it will be a long time before the next trade where the two principals in the deal meet up with each other at the airport while they are flying to meet their new […]

The World Juniors made these five NHL teams very happy

0 comments by on 1/7/2016

Now that the World Junior Championships are over, and host country Finland is revelling in their gold medals, the scouting focus on the departed tournament will surely be on the 2016 draft prospects like Team USA’s Auston Matthews and Finland’s Jesse Puljujarvi (who led the tournament with 17 points … and it wasn’t close). But […]

Jake Virtanen gets roasted on Twitter, while one fan petitions to deport him

0 comments by on 1/6/2016

Jake Virtanen, it’s safe to say, had a terrible 2016 World Junior Championship. His first point of the tournament came during Canada’s quarterfinal match against Finland, but his game will be more known for the undisciplined double minor he took as he slashed a player while already on the hook for a delayed penalty. This, along […]

It’s getting to be that time of year. The time where we buy our champagne, get ready to flip the calendar, and make that New Year’s resolution to go to the gym and get in shape. And you do it, for two weeks. You make the gym too crowded for the regulars who are mad […]

John Tortorella blasts Blue Jackets leadership

0 comments by on 12/29/2015

John Tortorella has done a good job turning around the Blue Jackets since taking over for Todd Richards, going 13-15-3 since Richards started 0-7. But there is still a ways to go. And if you listen to Tortorella talk after a loss to the Panthers on Sunday, there’s a long way to go. Tortorella torched […]
