The official 2016 Winter Classic jersey for the Montreal Canadiens has been unveiled. Thoughts? Pretty much anything looks better than the monstrosities worn by the LA Kings, but these still leave a lot to be desired.

With the NHL season currently underway, many players have gotten off to unexpected starts. The first 15 games of the season usually aren’t representative of a player’s season-long performance, however, as hot starts usually fade. Here are three players who are off to great starts and a quick debate whether their performance is sustainable. Dale Weise […]

Vinny Lecavalier’s struggles offensively have resulted in reduced playing time over the last couple seasons. He has been benched for failing to generate offense, but that’s usually where the negatives end. Now, his team may give him some time off after nearly taking Brayden Schenn’s head off while trying to bat a puck out of […]

The NHL is reducing the importance and frequency of the shootout, but the skills contest can still provide an incredible play worth seeing. Craig Anderson’ shootout save on Andrew Ladd was something you might expect to see in a video game as opposed to real life. Anderson sprawls out, perfectly reading the play while using […]

Bang. Boom. The Oilers’ season along with Connor McDavid’s shoulder was breaking down before everyone’s eyes. It all happened in a flash. While Brandon Manning of the Philadelphia Flyers was doing his best impression of a pylon on the play, he also somehow managed to give a shove to McDavid during his shot which caused […]

Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane will not be charged with rape, prosecutors announced today. There will be no charges against Kane, following a three-month investigation after a 21-year-old woman claimed Kane raped her in his New York home. The three-month case took a bizarre turn back in late September when an evidence bag was found by the […]

The topic of increasing scoring in the NHL is one that’s been debated for ages. Some want larger nets while others want goalies to wear smaller pads. Mike Babcock falls into the former category, once again claiming that the league needs to move to larger nets in order to keep pace with the growing size […]

Connor McDavid brought incredible speed to the NHL, but unfortunately that means there’s always a risk of some serious collisions should he lose his balance. McDavid came streaking towards the Flyers net, but was pushed off balance by two Flyers resulting in a huge collision into the boards. McDavid got up holding his left shoulder. […]

Who doesn’t love a good glove save? Jake Allen flashed the mitt, robbing Anze Kopitar of a glorious scoring opportunity. Kopitar’s reaction pretty much sums things up.

The calendar has flipped to November and that means it’s still entirely too early to make any rash generalizations in the NHL. That being said, there are some historical trends to point out which may leave a few teams who got off to poor starts sweating. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet keeps an eye on the league’s […]

I have already written a couple times this year about the hitting prowess of Dustin Byfuglien. He is essentially a mack truck on ice skates. You definitely do not want to get in his way. His latest victim is Brendan Gallagher, who is 5’9 180 lbs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpa9ZI_mWdI The hit is going to be looked at […]

I’ve outlined the Colorado Avalanche’s struggles under Patrick Roy, which has continued throughout this season as the club has floundered to a 3-7-1 start. The team has gotten progressively worse under Roy’s reign, which you’d think would put him on the hot seat, but Avalanche Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Joe Sakic says his job […]
