As if Jack Eichel’s time with the Buffalo Sabres needed any additional hype, his legend grew following this shot which appeared to go through the net. We’ve seen some optical illusions which looked like a puck ripped through a net, but this shot from Eichel looks to be a pretty clear case where that actually […]

Just as Milan Lucic did with the Boston Globe, Patrick Sharp took out a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times in which he thanked the Blackhawks and the fans for supporting him during his time with the organization. It’s a bit tough to read, so here’s the transcript as transcribed by […]

The Vancouver Canucks have made some puzzling decisions of late. General manager Jim Benning isn’t exactly putting on a clinic on how to GM. It’s hard to forget he handed out sizable extensions to bit-players. Derek Dorsett is a solid fourth liner, but is he really worth $10.6 million over four seasons? Benning thought so. The same day […]

What happens when the Montreal Gazette plans an interview with Andrei Markov and they allow his teammates to anonymously submit all of the questions? You get an interview which has “Are you paid extra to babysit Alex Galchenyuk?” and “Did you know P.K. still thinks about that kiss?” as questions. What’s better: the absurd questions […]

Do you think Buffalo Sabres fans might be excited to see Jack Eichel? An announced crowd of 17,115 fans took in a scrimmage game, shifting what should have been a relatively typical prospects game into a playoff atmosphere. Martin Biron may have summed things up the best.

The Chicago Blackhawks have traded another key member from their Stanley Cup winning club, this time dealing Patrick Sharp and prospect Stephen Johns to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Trevor Daley and Ryan Garbutt.

Milan Lucic has spent his entire NHL career with the Boston Bruins, but that came to an abrupt end when the team traded him to the LA Kings after an eight-year stay. Lucic wanted to say thank you to the fans one last time and took out a full page ad in the Boston Globe. […]

The Viktor Fasth era in the NHL likely just ended. The goaltender has signed a contract with CSKA Moscow of the KHL.

Goalies are an odd breed. You probably don’t need any more proof of that if you’ve ever watched hockey, but the Washington Capitals provided us all with another example during their development camp. We’re not sure if this was a drill or just some fun, but here’s a game of goalie tag. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Colby Armstrong had choice words about old teammate Phil Kessel. Speaking to Sportsnet 590 (H/T to theScore’s Ian McLaren for transcribing), Armstrong said being the American sniper’s teammate was a bit frustrating. We all see what he does: He skates fast to the puck, he shoots the puck, he can make […]

The bromance between Eddie Lack and Roberto Luongo is one of the strongest (and most entertaining) in the NHL. How deep does the love run? So deep that Lack placed a picture of Luongo on his new goalie mask. The full reveal of Lack’s new Carolina Hurricanes mask looms in the future, but it’s fair […]

Which sports team has the strongest brand in Canada? If you said the Toronto Maple Leafs you’re not only wrong, but you also clearly didn’t read the title of this article. According to a recent survey by Insightrix Research, the Montreal Canadiens lead the way when it comes to brand recognition, brand perception and popularity. The […]

Flipbooks are awesome. Flipbooks based on hockey are even better. You might remember when The Flippist put out an incredible flipbook featuring Vladimir Tarasenko’s goal against the New York Rangers. This time they’re honoring the Chicago Blackhawks and their Stanley Cup victory.

Coaches are hired to be fired. It’s understood within the business. Next season will be no different when it comes to NHL coaches being in danger of losing their jobs. There’s pressure on all coaches, but some enter 2015-16 with more than others. Here are a few that stand out for having the stove turned […]
