It has been a while since the Broad Street Bullies took the ice, but maybe some habits do in fact die hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPucnlOUw9c Ryan White, the man who delivered the hit, isn’t your typical goon as he has seven points on the season and not an overwhelming amount of penalty minutes.

After a week of “will he or won’t he”, Anze Kopitar reached an $80 million deal over eight years with an average AAV of $10 million a year. The deal is front loaded and in his first year he will make $14 million and it descends downward over the course of the contract. In the last four years, there […]

Early Saturday morning it was announced courtesy of TSN’s Bob McKenzie that a trade had come to fruition. David Perron and Adam Clendening of the Pittsburgh Penguins were traded for Carl Hagelin of the Anaheim Ducks. Other than the late hour that it was completed, it was a perplexing move because its seemed like mostly […]

The list of great things that glow in the dark is very, very short. In fact, I can’t think of a single great thing that glows in the dark off the top of my head. That apparently doesn’t scare the NHL as they have decided to move forward with a glow-in-the-dark emblem on their All-Star […]

When you are one of the top picks in any given year in the NHL draft, you will enter the league with a chip on your shoulder. Sometimes you live up to expectations and other times you let the pressure get the best of you. Last night, Sam Bennett tallied a hat trick in the first period. […]

The move from the Nassau Memorial Coliseum to the Barclays Center has been a contentious topic for many Islanders fans. The Islanders’ life blood was the people from Long Island supporting the team through thick and thin. When it was announced that they would be moving to Brooklyn, it was met with some trepidation. A […]

We all know Henrik Lundqvist is one of the best in the league. That is an indisputable fact. He has been slumping recently and many were beginning to speculate that Lundqvist might be on the decline. He let everyone know Monday night that it definitely was not the case. Scorpion save! Lundqvist has had no fewer than […]

John Scott is in the All-Star Game. It’s a reality now and people are still double and triple checking that this is still taking place. While fans are enjoying the fact Scott will participate in the new 3-on-3 format, the NHL doesn’t want a situation like this to arise again which is why they are taking […]

Jakub Voracek has quietly been one of the better players in the league the past few years, scoring at will while remaining a cornerstone of the Philadelphia Flyers. It should come as no surprise that he is also a goofball and one of the more lighthearted players on the team. That was on display against […]

Intangibles can be a whole lot of things. They can be ludicrous in their description, but they are nonetheless followed by scouts and prognosticators. It is rather odd that a lot of these intangibles only show up when a team is winning and if they aren’t winning we seem to dismiss them. They are either there […]

Although many people despise referees, we all realize that they are just doing their job. So, when they are trying to get the hell out of the way of a play, they may not be looking where they are going. This is exactly what happened with defenseman Jake Muzzin and referee Kelly Sutherland. It really […]

I know many of you will come to this article in hopes of seeing big flashy names that were snubbed this year by the league. I could do that, but I will let you in on a little secret: Sidney Crosby didn’t deserve to go to the All-Star Game this year. *GASP* For all of […]
