Luke Glendening was called for a rather weak hooking penalty and the mics on the broadcast picked up his unhappy reaction. The announcers could only laugh and apologize for the F-bomb which slipped through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2JFK0fqfiU

The Players Tribune is slowly but surely becoming a one stop shop for athletes telling stories they wouldn’t ordinarily tell to anyone else. They themselves have editorial control and can put out whatever they are comfortable sharing. Scott Gomez, now of the St. Louis Blues, wrote an article this past March that put many of […]

It usually takes something a little unusual to catch your eye when scouring over the standings to a league. One thing that easily standings out when looking at the current standings is that the top five teams in the Eastern Conference Atlantic division are all on winning streaks. The Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Detroit Red […]

Ryan Kesler decided to dress up like an everyday fan during a preseason game to see what it is like to be on the other side of the glass. The results were a whole lot of fun.

Writing about the NHL is hard. It can become even harder when people twist your words. It can be even harder than that if you are on TV and only have a short amount of time to explain a situation. It was a tough spot that TSN’s Darren Dreger found himself in last night on […]

After negotiating with the NHL Players’ Association, an agreement was made to compensate for the new three-on-three All Star Game format.

The reaction to the new 3-on-3 All-Star Game format has generally been pretty good. But one player who thinks it wouldn’t be a bad thing for the game to die for good is Senators forward Bobby Ryan. Ryan appeared in his first All-Star Game last season and, as the kids say, is “so over it“. […]

Chris Neil will likely only be credited with one hit for this play, but he deserves two after wiping out David Savard and Jack Johnson with the same check. Two-for-one special! For what it’s worth, a stick also appeared to catch his teammate … so technically that’s three guys all impacted by one hit. Pretty […]

Well it took five games and two overturned goals, but Alex Ovechkin finally scored goal number 484 on Thursday night vs. the Dallas Stars. The 484th goal is significant because he has passed Sergei Fedorov for most career goals by a Russian player.

When Mike Babcock made the decision to leave Detroit and come to Toronto, it dramatically changed the trajectory of both franchises. The Maple Leafs would go from having a pair bumbling coaches whose decisions were constantly second-guessed, providing ample fodder to the Toronto media, to one of the best coaches in the game who was […]

It’s guaranteed hilarity when a stick gets caught in a player’s skate. Taylor Hall was tripped up by Trevor Van Riemsdyk and Riemsdyk’s stick got wedged between Hall’s skate blade and boot. As Riemsdyk tried to skate away to follow the play, he pulled Hall along the ice with him. Eventually the official had to […]

Travis Hamonic is part of a good defensive core for the New York Islanders. But if he gets his wish, he won’t be for long, as he has requested a trade out of the organization. But before you go thinking that this has anything to do with the Islanders, this is more of a personal […]

Neither the Vancouver Canucks nor the Chicago Blackhawks are having seasons to brag about during the first 20 games of the regular season, but Canucks tickets are the most expensive in the NHL on the secondary market this weekend when the defending champions come to Rogers Arena. The average ticket price of $192.34 and get-in […]

Former Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Guy Boucher may be one step closer to returning to the NHL. Boucher was released outright by the Swiss club SC Bern following the club falling out of playoff contention. SC Bern had only posted eight wins in 22 games this season and Boucher announced a week ago he wasn’t […]
