What would you do if you could spend a day with the Stanley Cup? If you’re Andrew Desjardins, you start the day by eating a huge amount of Lucky Charms out of the Cup. That Cup has been in a lot of places and had a lot of babies sitting inside it, so we certainly […]

Roberto Luongo’s Twitter account is a constant source of entertainment. This proved true once again when a fan asked for a birthday wish from the world’s greatest goaltender. Here’s the request from the fan: And Luongo passed on the request to the world’s greatest goaltender, Carey Price. Hilarious.

Connor McDavid tantalized Oilers fans with a scented whiff of what’s to come in October as he scored five of eight goals in an 8-6 victory for the White team over the Blue team. Sure, it was a scrimmage that featured 4-on-4 and 3-on-3 competition, but if this is what we can expect going forward, […]

Things for the Arizona Coyotes are a bit murky. The team has battled the city of Glendale and the future of the franchise is unclear. You’d think that would be a detractor for potential free agents, but the club has managed to convince Zbynek Michalek, Steve Downie, Brad Richardson, Antoine Vermette and Anders Lindback to join the […]

It’s that time of the year again, as ESPN is set to release another issue of their popular Body Issue series. Featured this year is Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin. He’s posed in the issue, while selectively covering certain body parts with rubber ducks. Pictures aside, the issue features some great tidbits from Seguin including […]

Alexander Semin is a forward without a team after the Carolina Hurricanes bought out the remainder of his contract. The move will be one which lingers with the Hurricanes for quite some time as they’ll carry a cap hit of just over $2.3 million through 2020-21, but Semin’s future is far more uncertain. Some reports indicated […]

Kevin Roy of the Anaheim Ducks scored an incredible goal during the team’s prospect camp. Roy received the puck near the goal and nimbly shifted the puck between his legs and fired it over the goaltender. Amazing skill from the 22-year-old.

Adjusting to life as a professional hockey player can be challenging, so the Edmonton Oilers devised a prospect camp which not only covers on-ice topics but also teaches young prospects about nutrition and a proper diet. The prospects were split into teams and were challenged to go shopping, stay within their budget and create a couple dishes […]

Prior to the surprising T.J. Oshie trade, the St. Louis Blues had another player popping up in several trade rumors – Kevin Shattenkirk. The defenseman was believed to be on the market, but eventually Shattenkirk’s agents stated that he wouldn’t be leaving the Blues. So, who were the Blues talking to? According to CSNNE, the […]

The last time we saw Andrei Kostitsyn, he was suspended for two games by the Nashville Predators during the 2012 postseason for missing curfew along with teammate Alexander Radulov. Shortly after the Predators were eliminated, both Kostitsyn and Radulov left the NHL and returned to Russia. Now, Kostitsyn is ready to return to the NHL and he’s […]

It would make sense that the hockey player who was the symbol of American patriotism at the last Winter Olympics will now make his living in the nation’s capital. T.J. Oshie was traded to the Washington Capitals today in exchange for Troy Brouwer, minor league goalie Pheonix Copley, and a 2016 third round pick. Oshie […]

Funny … After I went on about how the Boston Bruins were driving their fans insane, they actually had a pretty good week. They traded Martin Jones, who they got in the Milan Lucic deal, for a 2016 first round pick and a prospect. And on Wednesday, they made a seemingly innocuous trade when then […]

Did you watch the 2015 NHL Draft? The answer to that question is probably “no” based on the ratings which have been released from the event’s first round. A total of 252,000 viewers turned on NBCSN to watch coverage of the draft’s first round. That number represents a 25% drop from last year’s 337,000 viewers […]
