Christmas has come early for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins haven’t just beaten opposing NHL teams in December, they’ve taken a barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat and bludgeoned them to death. It’s not fair to say the Penguins are simply dominating because they’re straight up murdering opponents. It’s merciless. In six games this month, Pittsburgh has […]

In the span of seconds, the Canadiens and Bruins delivered massive, player-dropping hits

The Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins have a longstanding rivalry. The division rivals simply don’t like each other, and never have. This was evident on Monday night, as a series of massive hits caused all-out chaos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv1e4HzXiuY The ruckus started when defenseman Alexei Emelin crunched David Pastrnak across the boards with a high, hard  hit.

Garth Snow’s extension-happy ways continue with indefensible Clutterbuck extension

Garth Snow loves long-term extensions, but on Friday, the New York Islanders GM completed a deal which is indefensible. Snow signed forward Cal Clutterbuck to a five-year extension, worth, wait for it – $3.5 million per season.

Video: Carey Price beats up Kyle Palmieri after collision

Carey Price is a calm presence in the Montreal Canadiens’ net. Well, unless you’re Kyle Palmieri. In tonight’s Devils-Canadiens matchup, Palmieri was pushed into Price while trying to get by defenseman Jeff Petry. Palmieri collided with Price, who was pretty pissed. The usually chill netminder punched a defenseless Palmieri a couple of times before finally letting him […]

Patrick Laine roasts teammate Nikolaj Ehlers: “He can’t score at PlayStation either”

Patrick Laine had some fun at the expense of teammate Nikolaj Ehlers. The talented Fin is competing for the NHL-lead in goals with 17, 13 more than Ehlers. Ehlers has compiled an impressive season in his own right, tied for third league-wide with 19 assists, but the Jets winger has had trouble potting goals with only […]

Patrick Maroon releases incredibly dumb response to short-sighted comments

Patrick Maroon doubled down on statements questioning whether Connor McDavid should have been pulled by concussion spotters during Edmonton’s recent overtime loss against the Minnesota Wild. In case you missed it, Maroon, like a baboon pounding his chest, referred to hockey as a “man’s game” in response to McDavid getting taken out of the game. […]

John Gibson had an embarrassing reason for being unable to back Jonathan Bernier in 8-3 loss

Goaltending can be a crap job. Literally. The Anaheim Ducks were blown out 8-3 by the Calgary Flames on Sunday night. Goaltender Jonathan Bernier was shown little mercy, letting in all eight goals on just 25 shots. The Ducks didn’t pull Bernier despite the poor effort. But why? Well, John Gibson, who was backing up […]

Trevor Linden doesn’t want to rebuild Canucks because it wouldn’t be fair to the Sedins

[link_box id=”22277″ site_id=”17″ layout=”link-box-third” alignment=”alignright”]The Vancouver Canucks sit near the bottom of the Western Conference with 11 wins in 25 games. The Canucks have steered far away from a rebuild despite their aging roster and lackluster farm system suggesting a needed change. So, what’s preventing the rebuild? Linden, the Canucks […]

Paul Maurice: Game plans won’t work when trying to stop McDavid

At 19, Connor McDavid is already one of the best players in the NHL. With an unfair combination of speed and skill, the Oilers captain leads the league with 31 points in just 24 games. McDavid has single-handedly kept the Oilers from mediocrity. The coach of the Winnipeg Jets recognizes the young star’s talent. Speaking with […]

Phil Kessel hilariously gives cold shoulder to Pierre McGuire on bench

Last night, Phil Kessel continued his ascension as the most likable player in the NHL. During NBCSN’s Rivalry Night game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders, analyst Pierre McGuire, who is known for getting in the faces of players, tried to talk with Kessel on the bench.

Report: Flames listening to offers on Dougie Hamilton, Leafs interested?

Dougie Hamilton has had a tough time developing into the top-pairing defenseman Calgary envisioned when they dealt a slew of draft picks for the talented 23-year-old last offseason.
