Video: Carey Price beats up Kyle Palmieri after collision

Carey Price is a calm presence in the Montreal Canadiens’ net. Well, unless you’re Kyle Palmieri. In tonight’s Devils-Canadiens matchup, Palmieri was pushed into Price while trying to get by defenseman Jeff Petry. Palmieri collided with Price, who was pretty pissed. The usually chill netminder punched a defenseless Palmieri a couple of times before finally letting him […]

Blues miss morning skate due to traffic in Brooklyn

It’s safe to say the St. Louis Blues aren’t going to be big fans of the New York Islanders’ home in Brooklyn any time soon. Heading into a game against the Isles on Thursday night, the Blues missed their morning skate due to a “clogged commute” which prevented them from making it to the arena. […]

Patrick Laine roasts teammate Nikolaj Ehlers: “He can’t score at PlayStation either”

Patrick Laine had some fun at the expense of teammate Nikolaj Ehlers. The talented Fin is competing for the NHL-lead in goals with 17, 13 more than Ehlers. Ehlers has compiled an impressive season in his own right, tied for third league-wide with 19 assists, but the Jets winger has had trouble potting goals with only […]

Patrick Maroon releases incredibly dumb response to short-sighted comments

Patrick Maroon doubled down on statements questioning whether Connor McDavid should have been pulled by concussion spotters during Edmonton’s recent overtime loss against the Minnesota Wild.

The 5 best hockey fights from Week 8 in the NHL

The calendar has flipped to December which means it’s time for things to start getting serious in the NHL.

John Gibson had an embarrassing reason for being unable to back Jonathan Bernier in 8-3 loss

Goaltending can be a crap job. Literally. The Anaheim Ducks were blown out 8-3 by the Calgary Flames on Sunday night. Goaltender Jonathan Bernier was shown little mercy, letting in all eight goals on just 25 shots. The Ducks didn’t pull Bernier despite the poor effort. But why? Well, John Gibson, who was backing up […]
