After some pretty significant rule changes in the NHL it seems like changing the rulebook is the topic du jour around the league.

When you play in an old barn, generally the appeal is the history and tradition of the structure. Sometimes the arena is just a focal point to a great area of town. In the Chicago Blackhawks case, the United Center has only been opened up for twenty or so years but it has seen multiple […]

As the Flames struggle to start the season, they can take some solace in knowing that their young players are really damn good. They’ll sort their problems out in short order.

As someone who watches hockey pretty ardently, I stumbled upon this clip and realized I had no stinking clue what the Karjala Cup is. After a little research it is a Euro hockey tournament held in Finland that is named after a beer company. Who knew? Regardless of the tournament’s lore, it produced one hell […]

When you are a hockey legend and a handsome fellow like Peter Forsberg, it is tough to go unnoticed in America, let alone in his home country of Sweden. That is why when you are trying to pull a prank you have to pull out all the stops and hire a make up person to […]

Why Connor McDavid being injured is a loss for everyone

Bang. Boom. The Oilers’ season along with Connor McDavid’s shoulder was breaking down before everyone’s eyes. It all happened in a flash.

I have already written a couple times this year about the hitting prowess of Dustin Byfuglien. He is essentially a mack truck on ice skates. You definitely do not want to get in his way. His latest victim is Brendan Gallagher, who is 5’9 180 lbs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpa9ZI_mWdI The hit is going to be looked at […]

It was confirmed by Aaron Portzline that John Tortorella did in fact say that Ryan Johansen was “out of shape” during the course of the first period of Tortorella’s first game behind the bench.

Did the Hurricanes make the right decision with Noah Hanifin?

0 comments by on 10/31/2015

When you are a young first-round pick in the NHL, a lot of the time the game is handed to you on a platter. Not a lot has to be proven for you to get your time to shine in the NHL. Hanifin won’t be returning to college but could see time in the minor […]

How effective has the coach’s challenge been?

0 comments by on 10/27/2015

Coming into this year, we all knew a couple of rule changes were made in an effort to improve the NHL. While 3-on-3 was the more exciting of the changes, the coach’s challenge was a a necessity that needed to be made. Other leagues have caught on that the challenge is a necessary evil for […]

Video: High school hockey player may have scored the goal of the year

0 comments by on 10/26/2015

When you are good,  you are good. In the case of Burnaby Winter Club Academy’s Nathan Pelletier, damn you are good. Pelletier hits the puck up to himself, trips over a defender and hits out of the air, baseball style. Sure, it is only high school hockey but you could be doing this on your […]

The Hot Take: NHL captains are meaningless

0 comments by on 10/24/2015

As the Columbus Blue Jackets season has started to slip away from them, the finger pointing has started and a lot of it has been pointed at their new captain, Nick Foligno. Foligno was traded to the Blue Jackets before the lockout shortened season from the Ottawa Senators and has found a nice spot in […]

When you are a superstar in this league, you are expected to do it all. When it is all going your way you don’t have anything to complain about but when it falls apart you draw the ire of an entire fan base. This is a concept that isn’t new to Rick Nash, who used […]
