Henrik Lundqvist has made a ton of amazing saves throughout his NHL career. Most of those have taken place while he was inside the crease. This one against the Columbus Blue Jackets broke that rule, as Lundqvist was caught outside of his net by Ryan Johansen. That didn’t stop him from making an amazing save. […]

The Anaheim Ducks had one of the best records in the NHL last season, but unfortunately that success didn’t translate to significant financial gains by the team’s owners. Henry and Susan Samueli have continually stated their commitment to the Ducks, but they recently spoke with the Los Angeles Daily News about the team’s financial woes. “The […]

We’ve seen a lot of hockey players take batting practice or get slightly involved with their local MLB team. Erik Karlsson was recently asked about the sport and his response was pretty hilarious. What position would Karlsson be if he played baseball? Batter, but he’s not really sure what the batter actually does. That’s an […]

The LA Kings and Mike Richards are parting ways after the two sides agreed to a settlement following a fairly ugly contract termination dispute. However, the details of that settlement will surely only raise more eyebrows from Kings fans. Most noteworthy is the fact the Kings will be paying Richards until 2031. Counting 2015-16, Richards […]

The Buffalo Sabres held a fan vote to determine what their new goal song would be for the 2015-16 season. The team correctly decided to ditch their old song, Rock and Roll Part II, due to Gary Glitter’s sickening past. The final vote came down between Let Me Clear My Throat and Swords of a […]

The St. Louis Blues are trying to put another embarrassing early playoff exit behind them. What better way to do that than by scoring on your own net to start the new season? Alex Pietrangelo attempted to clear the puck out to start the penalty kill, but it didn’t go according to plan. He hit […]

Do you think advertisements on uniforms are a bad idea? Wait until you see what’s happening in the ECHL. The league took things to a whole new awful level with these blue nets sponsored by GEICO. Yes, they are actually going to use these things throughout the ECHL. Just horrible.

The 2015-16 NHL season has barely started and Calgary Flames captain Mark Giordano has already criticized his team’s effort. The Flames fell in their opener 5-1 against the Vancouver Canucks and Girodano had some blunt comments following the game. Via The Score: “That was probably as bad as we can get out there. We’ve got […]

It looks like Dustin Brown is already in preseason form. Brown, a forward for the LA Kings, displayed a high level of truculence with a check on San Jose Sharks player Logan Couture. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Head Butt? In all seriousness though this hit definitely looks questionable. Let’s take a look from another angle. That […]

The very first coach’s challenge occurred when the Toronto Maple Leafs hosted the Montreal Canadiens. Jeff Petry fired the puck into the net, but Toronto goalie Jonathan Bernier appeared to be bumped by a Canadiens stick. The play was reviewed and the goal was overturned. The review went fairly quickly (the call was an obvious […]

The Carolina Hurricanes have solidified their goaltending situation for the next few years, announcing they’ve signed Eddie Lack to a two-year extension worth $5.5 million. Lack, who was set to become a free agent at the end of the 2015-16 season, will now be controlled by the Hurricanes until 2018. The Hurricanes scored one of the best deals […]

Celebrate, hockey fans! NHL action returns tonight and the 2015-16 season is finally here. The long summer days discussing off-ice issues (there were far too many) and potential line combinations are over and real, meaningful games have arrived. Too often it’s easy for hockey fans to overlook what makes the NHL and the game of […]

We wrote about David Booth’s comments, who said veterans were being phased out for younger players. With team’s trying to trim down their roster for the start of camp, there’s been some evidence to support this trend. Here are some surprising vets cuts from NHL camps this preseason.

Not all heroes wear capes. The hockey mullet is a long honored tradition that spans decades. The news today should come as no surprise to those that follow the game closely. People have been praying to see Jaromir Jagr’s legendary mullet come out of retirement and alas, the time has finally come. His teammate Roberto Luongo […]
