Andrew Shaw has been suspended and fined multiple times for chippy play and coarse language and that reputation may play a role in whether or not he receives a suspension for his actions so far in 2016-17. Shaw will likely be receiving another call from the league for his slew-foot at the end of his […]

As the 2016-17 NHL season is about to start, new players coming into the league are expected to make a difference immediately. These rookies should make an impact for their respective teams as soon as the puck drops. Don’t be surprised if these players become noteworthy in short order.

The preseason is over and done with, but that doesn’t mean that the memories have to go along with it. Kevin Bieksa made sure he wasn’t going to be forgotten anytime soon and brought some life to the end of the preseason schedule by pranking his teammates – and the Coyotes. On his off night […]

Fighting in hockey is becoming a rare event. With it, less experienced fighters are taking a shot at dropping the mitts. The small Max Domi took on the normal sized Dougie Hamilton in a fight and the results are less than ideal, if not comical, for both.

Jaromir Jagr has seen it all. He is a man who has played in multiple decades and has seemingly defied old age. The one event he hasn’t seen yet is a hurricane. That’s about to change as Hurricane Matthew impacts Florida. Luckily, Jagr has something to say to the hurricane and it isn’t going to […]

High hits are the bane of the NHL. Concussions and various other injuries become the center of attention and the focal point for many hockey naysayers. So when Niklas Hjalmarsson took out Ty Rattie during a preseason game, many around the league cringed.

The preseason can be boring, so why not have a little fun? Steve Ott and Dylan Larkin apparently got the memo during a 6-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Hockey is an odd sport when you get down to it. Skating around with knives on the bottom of your shoes while moving swiftly on ice. It is completely understandable for someone to not understand the intricacies of the sport. As Kunlun Red Star, the KHL’s new Chinese team, tries to adjust to hockey, it’ll […]

Referees already have a lot to deal with when they are on the ice. Skating around already takes a lot of effort, but compound that with trying to make the right calls and it is probably the toughest gig in sports. During a recent KHL game a referee caught a fist for his troubles while […]

It takes a while to get back into the swing of things. When you are away from a job for a significant amount of time, even if you’re a professional hockey player, you can be rusty. In the NHL, that goes for both players and referees. One of the most egregious displays of this took […]

Brad Marchand is one of the best known pests in the league and has a way of getting under your skin. It doesn’t matter if it is a big hit or a big goal, Marchand will take care of it for you and is obviously a coach’s dream as a result. He will now be […]

Team Europe has been the forgotten child during the World Cup of Hockey. An amalgamation of countries coming together for the sole purpose of the NHL making some money. No one ever thought they would make it out of the group round, let alone win a game. Naturally, against all odds, they have made the […]
