Video: Montreal Canadiens sing “Let It Go” with varying results

For one reason or another, NHL teams find a reason to put a video out that is holiday related and more often than not the results are poor. The Montreal Canadiens decided to add to this horrid tradition with a video of their own. They perform the hit song from the movie Frozen, “Let It Go”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZpW2ssbsGM&feature=youtu.be I […]

Video: Dan Hamhuis takes slap shot to the face, is hospitalized

After taking a nasty slap shot to the face last night, Dan Hamhuis was hospitalized. Willie Desjardins was quoted as saying: “Hamhuis lost some teeth and probably broke his jaw, his wife was with him when he left; he’ll spend the night in the hospital.” Below is the video of the incident. I have to […]

Maple Leafs fans lost their mind when Steven Stamkos liked a Tweet

It’s no secret at all that the rumors surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs and Steven Stamkos need little or no help to formulate. A lot of the rumors thus far have been pretty thin, but Stamkos gave the hockey world a little something to chew on thanks to Twitter. Stamkos said that the like of […]

Video: Kyle Okposo scores a shootout goal that will make your knees weak

When you are in your contract, year everything becomes amplified times a million. Kyle Okposo is aware of that fact and by golly, he wants to be worth every penny come next summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mb3TaBT4iQ Michael Neuvrith still almost saved it after getting deked out of his skates. I am still trying to catch my breath. […]

Video: Ref drops a couple F-bombs on James Neal

Refs are people too and can get upset just like everyone else. This embellishment courtesy of James Neal drew the ire of Tim Peel. Warning: Language may offend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaCcB30Zc2Q I’m not sure if it is “F–k you, you are getting a f–king penalty!” or “F–k you, you are getting a f–king embellishment!” Both are sensational. […]

After landing on waivers, what’s next for Alexander Semin?

Get your jokes out. Seriously, get them all out. Alright, now we can move on. Today it was announced by James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail that Alexander Semin would be placed on waivers by the Montreal Canadiens. Thus ends (for now) Semin’s tenure with the successful Canadiens team which has an Eastern Conference […]

Video: KHL player scores an impressive own goal

The KHL is much like the odd step brother of the NHL. You get the good, but you also get the bad. In this case you get the down right weird as Evgeny Ketov makes a shot Patrick Kane would be proud of … while scoring on his own net. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sKqs4M_i1A His face while he […]

Video: Red Wings color commentator sings some Billy Joel

Is “Piano Man” one of the best sing-a-long songs ever? “Sweet Caroline” has claim to it but for my money “Piano Man” is the best. Lucky for us as fans of hockey we get to hear legendary player and now color commentator for the Red Wings, Mickey Redmond sing us some Billy Joel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdWQiVhZRZA&feature=youtu.be I […]

Video: Jagr high-sticks Weber, promptly apologizes

Referees are the bane of any athlete’s existence. They are only there to catch you during your sneakiest and most conniving moments. Recently with how fast the game has progressed, refs miss an awful lot of plays so it is up to the players to police themselves. Such is the case with Jaromir Jagr. Jagr […]

Video: Jordin Tootoo knocks out Brad Malone

Often times when a team is trailing by a large margin, players think it will motivate the team if they take a fist in the mouth for the sake of everyone. Brad Malone decided to nominate himself as tribute tonight and the results were anything but pretty. You have to appreciate the ref’s hug that is […]

Video: Erik Johnson takes skate to face courtesy of Rick Nash

We saw the other night in the KHL that sometimes a skate gets up high on a player and it can produce some very scary moments. When I wrote that I didn’t expect that so shortly after the fact a scary moment would produce itself in the same week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnQ-ArJ7yAY&feature=youtu.be I don’t know what the hell […]

Report: Broward County to vote on future of Panthers arena

When you aren’t from a traditional hockey market even from the beginning, the cards are stacked against you. Not only from your own city but from outsiders as well. If you are a hockey club in the sunbelt of the United States, people openly wonder why you have a team and why in God’s name […]

Video: High elbow from Gryba leads to a lot of awkwardness

When it comes to losing, no one knows more about it in within the past decade than the Edmonton Oilers. Most of their memorable moments have taken place at the Draft rather than on the ice, so it should come as no surprise that once again the Oilers are in the spotlight for all the […]
