0 comments by on 11/28/2016

The Florida Panthers stunned the hockey world on Sunday amid reports of head coach Gerard Gallant being fired. Coming off a surprise 47-win, 103-point season and a Jack Adams nomination in 2015-16, Gallant’s job appeared safe. But despite the relative absurdity of firing a coach coming off a great season (and currently one game over .500 this season), […]

Doug Maclean didn’t even realize he was roasted by a minority owner of the Panthers

0 comments by

Doug Maclean is a man with a bunch of opinions that get broadcast on Sportsnet. He has decided that his most recent rant would be about the Florida Panthers and the way they went about firing Gerard Gallant. Maclean conveniently seems to forget that he himself fired Gallant when with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Nonetheless, […]

Florida Panthers fire head coach Gerard Gallant

0 comments by on 11/26/2016

Hockey players have been universally recognized for their toughness, but perhaps some of that praise needs to be sent towards head coach Barry Trotz. Trotz was behind the bench as the Capitals and Maple Leafs started the first period when the puck came over the boards and struck him right in the head. The ref cam showed […]

Matt Puempel calls out Sens coaching staff after first Rangers goal

0 comments by

It’s safe to say Matt Puempel is a big fan of his recent change of scenery. The 2012 first-round pick of the Ottawa Senators was recently placed on waivers and claimed by the New York Rangers. In his debut on Friday, Puempel scored on a breakaway, exceeding his production with the Senators in 2016-17 after […]

Video: Thomas Vanek goes “around the world” to score a shootout goal

0 comments by on 11/24/2016

It didn’t look like much, but Thomas Vanek pulled off one of the more unique shootout moves seen in the NHL this season. As Vanek skated in on Sabres netminder Robin Lehner, he casually controlled the puck before going “around the world” with his stick which seemed to completely fool Lehner. Sometimes it’s the more […]
