Out of all of the playoff series happening, the most cordial of the bunch seems to be the Penguins and Rangers. The tenor of the series may have just changed with Kris Letang’s slash on Viktor Stalberg in Game 3.

UPDATE: The NHL has suspended Andrew Shaw for one game and fined him $5,000. **** I don’t think Andrew Shaw will ever be confused for an upstanding citizen of the game and his actions in Game 4 confirmed that notion. It wasn’t just one moment in the game, rather a series of terrible, terrible moments.

The Blues and Blackhawks series has been something to behold. At any moment anything can happen and it just so happens a large portion of the controversial moments have been in the Blackhawks favor. Somehow, someway they came away from a scrum started by Corey Crawford with a power play.

We have all been there before – sitting in the stands not really paying attention and you find yourself startled by what is happening before you. I am not sure if this was the case for this Sharks fan, but I am desperately trying to find an excuse for her.

Ryan White is starting to get a reputation around the league and it isn’t anything to write home about. He is adding to his less than sterling reputation with a hit on Brooks Orpik that left the defenseman dazed and confused.

It won’t be the first time and it won’t be the last time, but James Neal was at it again with his less than clean antics. This time it involved him putting a stick in John Gibson’s mask after the whistle had blown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imOhdFj8wZk I wonder if James Neal will get past these dumb moves. […]

Playoff hockey is a tough time for everyone. Star players often get down in the muck and mire. In the case of Tanner Glass, he is always down there. So when he took a puck to the face on the first night of the playoffs, it almost felt like a rite of passage.

Going from playing for the Guelph Storm to playing with the St. Louis Blues, it has been quite a journey for Robby Fabbri. He put an exclamation point on Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs with his hit on Michal Rozsival.

As I noted the other day, Bryan Murray would be stepping down as GM and Pierre Dorion would be taking over that role. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that with his new role that he wanted to bring in someone different as head coach. What we didn’t expect was the fact that they would fire every coach […]

If you are a hockey fan, you probably own a jersey. They may cost a whole lot of money, but they are the one thing that each team has that differentiates you from the pack. That is why hockey is so unique in the fact that all of the jersey’s are so darn different. So, […]

The rumor mill up in Montreal has to be one of the strongest in the league. Constantly you hear disparaging remarks about certain players and how the team is dealing with fighting within the locker room. P.K. Subban wanted to prove to the media just how much he cared about his captain Max Pacioretty before […]

It has been a tough year for Leafs fans. They know that some good is coming soon, but for now it looks like a dire situation. One of the consistently good things about the Leafs is Morgan Rielly. He decided to show off some of his skills last night during the pregame skate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy7Igmmv0Ek&nohtml5=False I […]
