With his team enjoying a healthy 6-0 lead, Linus Omark tried to score one of the more creative goals you’ll ever see. The Jokerit forward had a ton of time behind the Dinamo Minsk goal and saw an opportunity to lift the puck in an effort to bank it off the netminder. His attempt failed, but […]

Retired NBA great and current basketball analyst Charles Barkley is apparently a big hockey fan. He recently spoke with Sportsnet and discussed a variety of hockey topics, including the Stanley Cup Playoffs as well as his favorite team, the Arizona Coyotes. Barkley, a guy you probably would never associate with the frozen game, actually has […]

The injuries to Patrick Kane and Mark Giordano were devastating to their respective teams. Which team will suffer the most? That’s exactly what Sportsnet asked, but they made one huge mistake. Boy, Giordano looks a lot like P.K. Subban.

The trade deadline has come and gone with a bunch of fanfare, making my job to write the best of the week extremely easy.

All of the goaltending talk on Tuesday night focused on the Florida Panthers and the fact Rob Tallas was nearly called into action. Mike Smith wasn’t the center of attention, but he maybe should have been as he jumped over a shot and avoided the puck in a bizarre scene which may make fans think the […]

Jaromir Jagr’s storied NHL career has now taken him to the Florida Panthers. The move was met with a ton of jokes and stats, such as the fact Jagr entered the NHL before the Panthers were even established. Well, here’s another fun comparison. Jagr’s career numbers are pretty much better than the career numbers for […]

Every year the trade deadline brings a bit of everything; intrigue and speculation are always surrounding each team regardless of their disposition in the days prior to the deadline. It can be beautiful for writers like myself and it can be torturous for players (sorry Patrick Sharp) but nonetheless it becomes a pseudo holiday for […]

The past week featured a ton of hot action on the ice and a boatload of trades off the ice. The action on trade day may have lacked big names, but a lot of players were moved and that’s always exciting. Unfortunately, that same excitement may not be found in this week’s edition of Hockey […]

The Boston Bruins made a total of three trades prior to the deadline, but fans were quick to point out that the club didn’t bring in the impact player they needed. The Bruins acquired Brett Connolly and Max Talbot as well as a couple of prospects, making the organization one of the most active at the […]

We have made a change to these rankings starting this week. Moving forward instead of basing the rankings on the entire season we will base them solely on the last week. This will show which teams are trending up and down based on the past weeks’ play. What goes into this ranking? Shot attempts for […]

TSN’s trade deadline coverage featured Tweets from hockey fans scrolling at the bottom of the screen. You can probably guess where this story is going, but a fan sent in an inappropriate Tweet about Joffrey Lupul which made it on the air.

Zack Kassian punched Ryan Reaves and then probably thought he was safe when the officials came in to break things up. Reaves had the last laugh as he reached over the officials and decked Kassian in the face. Both men earned two-minute roughing penalties and 10-minute misconducts.

Trevor Lewis may have been a bit too focused on the puck and was completely unaware Mark Scheifele was lining him up for a monster hit. The result was a clean open-ice hit which dropped Lewis in an instant.

Nathan MacKinnon’s 2014-15 is the perfect example of a sophomore slump. In his second year in the NHL, MacKinnon is poised to fall well short of matching his offensive numbers from his rookie seasons. To make matters worse, MacKinnon was on the receiving end of a brutal check from Sean Bergenheim which left MacKinnon with a […]
