It was confirmed by Aaron Portzline that John Tortorella did in fact say that Ryan Johansen was “out of shape” during the course of the first period of Tortorella’s first game behind the bench. It was initially reported by Larry Brooks of the New York Post but it took nearly a week for the news […]

The addition of the coach’s challenge was supposed to eliminate goals which were scored while the play was offside or when the goaltender was clearly interfered with during the play. Unfortunately, the early returns have been pretty mixed and the latest play in the Oilers-Flames game illustrates the dangerous road the NHL is traveling down. […]

A stunning update in the Patrick Kane saga and this one might be the beginning of the end. According to the Buffalo News, Kane is unlikely to face charges in a rape case involving a woman in his home in Hamburg. Sources say that there are doubts as to the viability of the defense claims. […]

T.J. Oshie has gotten off to a great start with the Capitals, but things almost took a bad turn when he nearly decapitated Andre Burakovsky. Oshie’s stick was trailing behind him and his arm got caught up in Burakovsky as he passed. Via RMNB: Pretty scary moment as Burakovsky’s head whipped back and hit the ice. Thankfully, there […]

When you are a young first-round pick in the NHL, a lot of the time the game is handed to you on a platter. Not a lot has to be proven for you to get your time to shine in the NHL. Hanifin won’t be returning to college but could see time in the minor […]

The Anaheim Ducks have gotten off to a tremendously bad start to 2015-16. With one win in their first 10 games, the Ducks four points ranks tied for dead last in the NHL. With 10 goals, an average of just one per game, the group looks like a shell of what it was last year. […]

One kid was super excited to get a puck from Buffalo Sabres coach Dan Bylsma, when a grown man snatched his dreams away. It’s absolutely remarkable that this kind of behavior continues to happen in sporting events. Adults need to grow up. Thankfully, the Pittsburgh Penguins are going to take care of the kid.

The draft hype for Connor McDavid/Jack Eichel was colossal. The great tank battle of 2014-15 was one of the NHL’s most hyped storylines, as whichever team who shot themselves in the foot the hardest would end up with the much coveted generational talent. McDavid and Eichel, especially the former, were being touted as the next great ones and their […]

Patrick Roy looked like a genius in his first season as head coach of the Colorado Avalanche. On paper, everything was awesome. Roy turned the Avs from a lottery team into a 50+ win team in one season and won the Jack Adams Award for Coach of the Year for his overwhelming success. But, the […]

We wrote about Evander Kane’s comments to The Hockey News on how he requested a trade out of Winnipeg every offseason he was with the team. The comments were honest, but brash. Fans in Winnipeg weren’t expected to be happy with them, and Kane’s former Jets teammates have responded directly to them. Winnipeg Jets captain […]

Coming into this year, we all knew a couple of rule changes were made in an effort to improve the NHL. While 3-on-3 was the more exciting of the changes, the coach’s challenge was a a necessity that needed to be made. Other leagues have caught on that the challenge is a necessary evil for […]

Evander Kane has opened up about his past jubilation to play in Winnipeg: Apparently he didn’t have any. In an interview with The Hockey News’ Ken Campbell, the current Buffalo Sabres forwards said ““Yeah, I asked for a trade every off-season in Winnipeg.” That’s pretty big news considering previous trade request reports have been denied in the past. […]

When you are good, you are good. In the case of Burnaby Winter Club Academy’s Nathan Pelletier, damn you are good. Pelletier hits the puck up to himself, trips over a defender and hits out of the air, baseball style. Sure, it is only high school hockey but you could be doing this on your […]
