Today it was announced that Buffalo was selected over the likes of Pittsburgh and St. Louis to host the World Junior Hockey Championships in 2018. The announcement doesn’t come as a surprise to many around the league as owner Terry Pegula has done a lot for the area surrounding the First Niagara Center to make […]

Oddsmaker: Larkin wins Rookie of the Month, but where does he stand for the Calder Trophy?

0 comments by

Recently it was announced that Dylan Larkin was November’s Rookie of the Month which was quite an accomplishment for the former Michigan Wolverine. He had seven goals alone in the month of November which led all rookies. Larkin has been everything the Red Wings have needed and because of that they have had an opportunity to […]

Video: Doc Emrick may have the world’s creepiest laugh

0 comments by

As far as Doc Emrick goes, he is kind of like everyone’s grandfather. Old, charming and a little bit kooky. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Emrick may have one of the weirdest laughs in the entire world. I had to listen to this in upwards of 50 times to make sure that it […]

Ryan Suter has a lot to say about who he is paired with

0 comments by on 12/2/2015

When you are a player with a 13-year, $98 million dollar contract, you would think that there wouldn’t be a lot to complain about. But apparently for Wild defenseman Ryan Suter, he has a lot to say. He wasn’t happy to be paired with Jonas Brodin. Michael Russo of the Star Tribune put a lot of […]

Which players are pulling ahead for the Hart Trophy?

0 comments by on 12/1/2015

While the Vezina is a little more structured in what people may be looking for in a candidate, the Hart is almost the exact opposite. The Hart Trophy is described as the MVP, but at times it is solely awarded to the best scorer in the league. Sometimes an amalgamation of the Art Ross and Hart […]

5 NHL players you would want as your son

0 comments by

After the Bruins and Rangers Friday matinee affair, the two teams faced off with a war of words through the media. Claude Julien and Brad Marchand posited that Henrik Lundqvist had done some acting in regards to a right knee that connected to Lundqvist’s head. Alain Vigneault didn’t take too kindly to those words and fired […]

Video: KHL player gets skate to the throat

0 comments by

In a game such as hockey, you would be surprised by the lack of injuries from skates. One would think that on a fairly regular basis players would get maimed by the sharp knives on the bottom of their feet. In a recent KHL game that exact situation took place. Here a player took a […]

Tortorella calls the Penguins whiners, but does he have a point?

0 comments by on 11/29/2015

John Tortorella had some choice words for the Pittsburgh Penguins after Brandon Dubinsky received additional discipline for a cross-check on Sidney Crosby. No matter what you think of the suspension, I don’t think that there is anything better than Tortorella back in the league. Some Blue Jackets fans may cringe with him now involved with […]

Video: Evgeni Malkin scores ridiculous spin-o-rama goal

0 comments by

When you are as good of a player as Evgeni Malkin, you sometimes score goals that make the hockey world’s jaw drop. When a world class player plays the Oilers, the likelihood of such a play goes up. https://cdn.streamable.com/video/mp4/zrkn.mp4 Poor Mark Fayne, he never even had a chance. Malkin at times may be described as […]

The NHL should take advantage of Thanksgiving

As you were sitting around the table hanging out with family, friends and various other loved ones enjoying turkey and stuffing, only a couple of sports were on your TV. College basketball and the NFL dominated the day as the only games on during the festivities. It doesn’t necessarily have to be that way though, […]

Which goalies are pulling ahead for the Vezina Trophy?

0 comments by on 11/24/2015

You can almost never get NHL award predictions right during the preseason, so it is always smart to check in during the season and see just how dumb your predictions turned out to be. As always, you will have a couple of surprises but you will also have the normal stalwarts performing ahead of the pack. Which […]

It has been reported by TVA Sports reporter Renaud Lavoie that the league “should” include testing for cocaine by the end of this season. Lavoie broke the news on Twitter today but as of right now nothing has been finalized. The next couple of tweets come courtesy of Lavoie. The news really shouldn’t come as […]

AHL revamps their All-Star Game format, is it better than the NHL’s?

0 comments by on 11/22/2015

When talking about an exhibition game, you need to take any and all seriousness out of the tone you may be carrying. The All-Star Game is something that isn’t really for adults but rather more for the kids who aspire to grow up and become an NHL player. So, when the AHL announced the new […]

The resurrection of Scott Gomez

0 comments by on 11/21/2015

The Players Tribune is slowly but surely becoming a one stop shop for athletes telling stories they wouldn’t ordinarily tell to anyone else. They themselves have editorial control and can put out whatever they are comfortable sharing. Scott Gomez, now of the St. Louis Blues, wrote an article this past March that put many of […]
