Predictions are always difficult to make when it comes to individual performance. From one season to the next, a player could have a career-best season followed by their career-worst. There are patterns indicating why a sudden breakout might occur, but a good surprise is always fun. A slew of veterans have taken their play to […]

The Detroit Red Wings beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-4 on Saturday night, but it was one of the team’s smallest fans who really stole the show. During a break in the action, the Red Wings showed fans in the crowd up on the scoreboard. One of those fans was a ridiculously cute kid who was beyond […]

If you ever want to make the best NHL skater look silly, watch what happens whenever they lose a skate blade. Mark Borowiecki of the Ottawa Senators learned this the hard way as his blade popped out which left him stranded near his own net. The Senators had a good laugh at Borowiecki’s expense when he finally made […]

The Montreal Canadiens fell behind 4-0 to the San Jose Sharks on Friday, resulting in Carey Price being sent to the showers early. Price, who was being pulled for the first time since October of 2014, took his time to stare down at his bench as he exited. The Montreal bench was probably pretty uneasy with […]

[link_box id=”22277″ site_id=”17″ layout=”link-box-third” alignment=”alignright”]NHL teams carrying extra depth players who check in and out of lineups isn’t something new. But, when those players don’t play in any games and are stuck in no man’s land with their team not wanting to send them to the AHL for fear of being claimed on waivers, it becomes […]

[link_box id=”22277″ site_id=”17″ layout=”link-box-third” alignment=”alignright”]Kurtis Gabriel of the Minnesota Wild has made a lot of noise this season despite suiting up in just seven games. Gabriel, 23, stands at an imposing 6’4″ and has put the NHL on notice by dropping his mitts to fight four times in limited action. When asked about his willingness to […]

Welcome to another edition of “This Week in NHL Stupid”. As always, we track the silly, the ugly and the stupid in the world of hockey. This week, we have a team that wants a second helping at the table of stupid, and we’ll gladly give it to the Florida Panthers. They recently fired their […]

Hockey is a dangerous sport and is one where even the guys on your own team can accidentally give you a serious injury. Josh Bailey of the New York Islanders was pretty lucky to avoid any kind of injury when John Tavares’ stick got caught inside his visor.

Sometimes you see a hit and you immediately know it’s going to get a player suspended. That was the case in New York tonight. Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was playing the puck behind New York’s net when Dallas Stars forward Cody Eakin absolutely trucked him with a hit.

The Florida Panthers are Dale Tallon’s team once again. Tallon was ‘promoted’ to a hockey executive position in late November in a front office overhaul. The Panthers opted to go with a collaborative decision-making team and process and removed Tallon as the top voice in the organization. Tallon’s coaching hire, Gerard Gallant, was fired and […]

Things got testy in the second period when a scrum between Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Karlsson got vicious, as the former appeared to spear the Sens defenseman. The dirty play was caught on cameras. Despite only […]

Vigilante style justice is always an underlying feature in the NHL. But it’s rare when it’s star-on-star violence. You saw that Wednesday night as Ottawa’s Mike Hoffman decided to respond to a push to the ice by Logan Couture with a nasty crosscheck to Couture’s head.

[link_box id=”22277″ site_id=”17″ layout=”link-box-third” alignment=”alignright”]You can always count on a strange hockey story from the KHL. This time they delivered with a decision which is almost too shocking to believe. The KHL has decided to adopt the 3-on-3 format for overtime and they plan on having the rule go into effect during the course of their current […]
