Eric Lindros’ storied career was cut down by injuries, but if former Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren had his way, Lindros wouldn’t have exited the league so soon. After spending nearly a decade and a half in the NHL, Lindros retired in 2006-2007 at the age of 34. The former first overall pick was […]

One of the highlights of the 2015-16 season was when Eddie Olczyk took some time to analyze kids in the stands eating ice cream at a Blackhawks game. He repeated the infamous act on Friday night when the Blackhawks hosted the Capitals. It’s not as good as his original ice cream analysis, but it’s still pretty […]

The Ilya Kovalchuk returning to the NHL rumor is once again upon us. Speculation on Kovalchuk’s return to the league seems to be prevalent each and every season.

Welcome to another addition in “This Week in NHL Stupid”, where we track the stupidity of the hockey world. Let’s start with Toronto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYojvkK9wTY You might remember this head shot by Nazem Kadri on Daniel Sedin from last Saturday. The stupidity was the lack of discipline by NHL Player Safety on a hit that wasn’t […]

It’s not too often you see an own-goal when the guilty team has their goalie between the pipes. The Boston Bruins committed that very blunder when they hosted the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday. Straight off of a draw, the Bruins pulled the puck back and accidentally slid it into their own net.

The Montreal Canadiens were pulverized last Friday night, falling 10-0 to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The game produced some crazy stats, but the wildest one was seeing goaltender Al Montoya’s save percentage drop nearly 50 points (.955 to .908) after allowing 10 goals on 40 shots. He didn’t stand a chance as the team in front […]

The new wrinkle in the NHL this season is the presence of concussion spotters, who can call down to the ice if they think a player is playing with concussion symptoms. It’s happened a small handful of times this season, and on Tuesday it created an odd situation, as it was a goaltender – Antti […]
