After taking some time and painstakingly making this list, you’ll notice a couple of things. First, that Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel aren’t on this list. I disqualified them out of this discussion since they have yet to play an NHL regular season game, but once they do they will surely be on this last. Second, […]

It is one of the oldest tricks in the book. “Hey, your shoes are untied.” One of the more satisfying statements to make in any competitive event. For myself, it was most often used while playing basketball and football, but hockey? It would seem like the most difficult to pull off, but Oscar Milton has […]

Matt Duchene throws Ryan O’Reilly a backhanded compliment

When you think of hockey, you think of rough and tumble players, you think of fighting and you think of the toughness they exhibit. So, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise when they do something that risks life and limb. In typical hockey player fashion, Virtanen returned to the game with stitches on his face. […]

0 comments by on 9/30/2015

Here’s an incredible display of hand-eye coordination from Boston Bruins skater Brett Connolly. The puck deflected in Connolly’s direction and he corralled it in midair with his stick and flung the puck towards the net like a lacrosse shot. His shot beat Henrik Lundqvist and while this effort only counted as a preseason goal, what […]
