The ECHL has always been known as a funky league. One moment you’ll see a bone-crunching hit and the next you’ll see a beautiful goal. It is a tad goofy.

There’s certainly a suspension in Will Carrier’s future as the Sabres forward forced David Backes to leave Thursday’s game after Carrier unleashed a head shot.

The Kiss Cam produced one of the best moments of the 2017 World Junior Championship while also creating a hero in the process. When one Slovakia fan was shown on the big screen, he did what any smart man would do during the Kiss Cam – ignored the girl he was with, kissed his beer and […]

The “save of the year” description is thrown around pretty liberally these days, but Marc-Andre Fleury’s effort to keep the New Jersey Devils from scoring is more than deserving of that label. Fleury was moving to cover the angle when a deflected puck floated towards his now-empty goal. The Penguins goaltender was able to reach […]

You can always count on Alex Ovechkin providing a unique, entertaining answer even to the most basic of questions. When Ovechkin was asked by a youth hockey player whether or not he and Sidney Crosby were friends, Ovechkin gave a response which was vintage Ovie and dripping in sarcasm.

Shane Doan had a pretty memorable night on Friday, scoring his 400th career goal in his 1,500th game in the NHL. Doan, who is almost as much of a cowboy as he is a professional athlete, received a warm welcome from the fans prior to his milestone game. As the two teams warmed up, fans tossed […]

P.K. Subban is arguably the most charitable player in the NHL. Now that he’s in Nashville, he’s bringing his holiday surprises to sick children there while also creating a special bond with the children he is continuing to help back in Montreal. Subban surprised several sick children with sickle cell disease, loaded them up in Subban’s […]

It didn’t take long for Jaromir Jagr to pass Mark Messier for second all time in points in the NHL, as his third period assist against the Bruins gave him 1,888 career points. But let’s just say it wasn’t the prettiest pass in the world.

Fighting is on the rise in 2016-17 (albeit slightly) compared to 2015-16 and that’s a fact many hockey fans will get behind. Thankfully, that rise in quantity has also seemingly brought about a rise in quality. Enjoy a really strong collection of fights.

If you ever want to make the best NHL skater look silly, watch what happens whenever they lose a skate blade. Mark Borowiecki of the Ottawa Senators learned this the hard way as his blade popped out which left him stranded near his own net. The Senators had a good laugh at Borowiecki’s expense when he finally made […]

The Montreal Canadiens fell behind 4-0 to the San Jose Sharks on Friday, resulting in Carey Price being sent to the showers early. Price, who was being pulled for the first time since October of 2014, took his time to stare down at his bench as he exited. The Montreal bench was probably pretty uneasy with […]

Hockey is a dangerous sport and is one where even the guys on your own team can accidentally give you a serious injury. Josh Bailey of the New York Islanders was pretty lucky to avoid any kind of injury when John Tavares’ stick got caught inside his visor.

Vigilante style justice is always an underlying feature in the NHL. But it’s rare when it’s star-on-star violence. You saw that Wednesday night as Ottawa’s Mike Hoffman decided to respond to a push to the ice by Logan Couture with a nasty crosscheck to Couture’s head.

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 […]
