It looked like Sidney Crosby failed on his shootout attempt against the Chicago Blackhawks, but one huge bounce changed that thought in a hurry. Crosby backhanded a puck towards the frame but Corey Crawford got his left arm on it. The puck bounced into the air and had enough momentum to carry into the net. […]

The Dallas Stars were trailing 3-0 against the Colorado Avalanche with a little over 10 minutes remaining in the third period. During a stretch of 4-on-4 hockey, the Stars gambled and pulled their goalie in order to have a 5-on-4 advantage. The move paid off almost immediately with Jason Spezza scoring to make things 3-1.

Attendance has been a hot topic in San Jose. The Sharks have drawn an average of 17,385 fans through 29 home games and that’s a pretty respectable number compared to other teams in the NHL. That average checks in at the 18th spot so far in 2014-15, but the team has failed to post a […]

Tyler Seguin was forced to leave the game between the Stars and Panthers after Dmitry Kulikov dropped down to deliver a dangerous hit. As Seguin maneuvered the puck through the neutral zone and into the Florida zone, Kulikov bent over and hip checked Seguin around the knee.

Ryan Hartman made quite the impression on his first NHL shift. Just a few seconds into his debut, Hartman crushed Danius Zubrus with a check which popped Zubrus’ helmet right off. Good, clean hit which didn’t result in an unwarranted fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORVeO-8FRyI

The great equalizer in modern NHL games is the scoreboard—but not in the way you might think. Of all the new advanced metrics and ideas to come about, the most consistent is score effects; that is, trailing teams outshoot and out-possess teams in the lead. The discrepancy is massive and, to a certain extent, counter-intuitive. Usually, the […]

The 2014-15 season is over for the Carolina Hurricanes. There are still games left on the schedule, but the Hurricanes have been out of the playoff hunt ever since they failed to pick up a win in the season’s first month. Owning one of the worst records in the NHL, the Hurricanes are on the […]

Jonathan Quick has developed quite the reputation for breaking his goal stick after allowing a bad goal or losing a game late. He may even give Tuukka Rask a run for his money in the stick breaking department. The latest instance occurred in the second period against the Calgary Flames after Quick believe he was […]

There has been a great many writers that have analyzed the Evander Kane trade from the Winnipeg Jets to the Buffalo Sabres. Many believe that the Sabres received the best player in the deal, Evander Kane, and therefore won the trade. However things are not quite so simple once you start to look into things […]

At 42, Jaromir Jagr is still going strong in the NHL and has been at the center of several trade rumors this season. TSN was breaking down all of the potential trade targets and Jagr’s name made the list. There was just one problem – Jagr isn’t 24. It’s a simple typo, but it’s an […]

After trade rumors that spanned across multiple years, they finally moved Evander Kane, sending him to the Buffalo Sabres in a blockbuster deal that was highlighted by a return of Drew Stafford and Tyler Myers, with Zach Bogosian also headed to Buffalo, among others. The move comes […]
