Sidney Crosby is having himself one hell of a season. Even though he missed a portion of the year, Crosby is leading the NHL in goals scored and continues to impress night after night. Facing the Coyotes on Monday, Crosby showed off his baseball skills and swatted in a puck out of the air and […]

Patrik Laine has been putting pucks in the back of nets with relative ease all season. On Sunday in the Jets-Oilers game, he did so once again, but this time he buried it into his own net. Laine was upset on the bench. Captain Blake Wheeler consoled the rookie on the bench. The goal was […]

The Montreal Canadiens dominated the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night, cruising to a huge 10-1 victory. Claude Julien, head coach of the Boston Bruins, is faced with the daunting task of facing the Canadiens on Monday just two days removed from one of the most complete performances by a team in the NHL this season. […]

Hip checks have fallen out of favor in the modern NHL, but Alexei Emelin is doing his part to bring them back. In a lopsided game between the Colorado Avalanche and the Montreal Canadiens, Emelin continued to play hard despite the 10-1 score, flipping Joe Colborne with a well-timed hip check. The Avalanche weren’t too happy.

Kari Lehtonen’s play has been fairly mediocre in 2016-17, compiling a decent win/loss record with fairly pedestrian GAA and save percentage numbers. That being said, Lehtonen may have just claimed the best save of the season with his glove robbery on Philadelphia’s Ivan Provorov. The Flyers set up a great play, luring Lehtonen out of his […]

Harambe continues to live on in the sporting world and is now popping up on ugly Christmas sweaters. At 19, Auston Matthews might already be one of the most talented forwards in the NHL. He scored four goals in his debut and has since proved to be a consistent source of offense for the Toronto Maple […]

Welcome to another edition of “This Week in NHL Stupid”, where we track the silly, the ugly, and the stupid in the world of hockey. And while the week started out slow, eventually the stupid oozed out of the pores of the NHL this week. Let’s start with a team who hasn’t played a game […]

The NHL hasn’t decided whether or not they will allow players to compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, but it has already been reported that there is a “strong negative sentiment” from the league’s owners. That negative view may represent the majority, but it doesn’t reflect the views of Washington Capitals owners […]

Garth Snow loves long-term extensions, but on Friday, the New York Islanders GM completed a deal which is indefensible. Snow signed forward Cal Clutterbuck to a five-year extension, worth, wait for it – $3.5 million per season.

Sergei Fedorov’s playing days are over, but he’s still enjoying a successful career in hockey as the general manager of the KHL’s CSKA Moscow. Fedorov’s role as GM follows up a career in which the Russian skated in 1,248 NHL games and was considered one of the league’s best. Fedorov left the NHL for the KHL ahead […]

Just about 22 months ago, the Winnipeg Jets and Buffalo Sabres were the talk of the hockey world for a week or so after engaging in what was then considered a blockbuster trade. Less than two years later, the trade is looking more and more like a bust for both sides. It’s not a disaster […]

Carey Price is a calm presence in the Montreal Canadiens’ net. Well, unless you’re Kyle Palmieri. In tonight’s Devils-Canadiens matchup, Palmieri was pushed into Price while trying to get by defenseman Jeff Petry. Palmieri collided with Price, who was pretty pissed. The usually chill netminder punched a defenseless Palmieri a couple of times before finally letting him […]

It’s safe to say the St. Louis Blues aren’t going to be big fans of the New York Islanders’ home in Brooklyn any time soon. Heading into a game against the Isles on Thursday night, the Blues missed their morning skate due to a “clogged commute” which prevented them from making it to the arena. […]

It’s that time of year when the good teams in the NHL start pulling away from the bad ones. With that, it’s starting to become clear which teams need to place their playoff aspirations on hold and look forward to the upcoming 2017 NHL Draft. These three struggling franchises clearly need to start looking to the offseason […]
