0 comments by on 1/18/2015

The NHL All-Star Game is an event fans love to criticize. From the player selection process to the uniforms, every hockey fan has a suggestion on how the league can improve the festivities. You may recall that we ran this style of post for the Winter Classic and now we turn our attention to the […]

GIF: Cody McLeod misses a check, ends up in Tampa Bay’s bench

0 comments by

Cody McLeod was lining up a huge check during Saturday’s game between the Avalanche and Lightning. As he sped in for a big hit, Mark Barberio stepped aside and McLeod flew over the boards and into Tampa Bay’s bench. You can tell that there isn’t much of a rivalry between the Avs and Bolts by […]

NHL Network analyst Craig Button ridicules Carter Hutton, makes a fool of himself

0 comments by on 1/16/2015

NHL Network can be a pretty difficult channel to watch depending on the analysts in the room. Craig Button further proved that point after a ridiculous tirade against Nashville goaltender Carter Hutton. Suiting up in place of Pekka Rinne, Hutton was beaten twice over his shoulder by a couple of vintage Ovechkin blasts. Button blasted Hutton […]

GIF: Daniel Carcillo’s dirty cross check on Mathieu Perreault

0 comments by

Here’s a shock – Daniel Carcillo is at the center of yet another controversial play the NHL is going to have to review. With the puck no where near the two players, Carcillo skated behind Mathieu Perreault and delivered a brutal cross check to the arm of the Winnipeg forward. Watch how Perreault’s arm bends […]

Blackhawks make a dream come true for a young blind fan

0 comments by

As violent and physical as the game of hockey might be, many times the sport provides fans with some truly uplifting and memorable stories. The most recent involves the Chicago Blackhawks, Patrick Sharp and 16-year-old Christina DeVries. Not long ago, the Blackhawks ran an ad campaign which asked fans “What’s Your Goal?” and Christina responded that she […]

GIFs: Joni Ortio makes two incredible glove saves

0 comments by on 1/15/2015

The goaltending situation in Calgary is a pretty confusing one. There’s a possibility the Flames will roll with three goaltenders (Jonas Hiller, Karri Ramo and Joni Ortio), but head coach Bob Hartley has said that he hates the idea of using roster space on a third netminder and will play the situation by ear. Well, […]

GIF: Bobby Ryan crushes Alex Galchenyuk

0 comments by

This might be one of the best hits so far in 2014-15. Alex Galchenyuk spun with the puck in an attempt to find some space, but instead all he found was Bobby Ryan. Give Ryan credit for timing his hit perfectly. Even Montreal fans will have to tip their cap to this crunching check. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

Sabres criticized over modest ceremony for Dominik Hasek

0 comments by

Did you watch Buffalo’s ceremony for goaltender Dominik Hasek? If you missed it, you may be relieved to know that you really didn’t miss much. The Sabres had Hasek’s number painted behind the nets and raised a banner featuring his number. That’s about it. No special tributes, no former teammates and nothing worth tuning in to […]

Video: Ref accidentally says Atlanta instead of Anaheim

0 comments by on 1/14/2015

NHL official Brad Watson had an embarassing moment during the Ducks-Leafs game on Wednesday night. When announcing the decision of a review, Watson slipped up and started to say Atlanta before correcting himself by saying Anaheim. The look on his face when he realizes what he’s saying, specifically when he realizes he has said the […]

Corey Perry considered signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs

0 comments by

Corey Perry is currently in the second year of his eight-year, $69 million contract with the Anaheim Ducks. With Perry locked up through 2020-2021, it’s pretty difficult to imagine him in a different uniform. However, only a couple years ago Perry considered joining the Toronto Maple Leafs. The LA Times recently spoke with Perry and […]

Do you miss the old days when the Phoenix Coyotes (now the Arizona Coyotes) wore crazy uniforms that had a Coyote holding a hockey stick surrounded by a ton of colors and designs? Of course you do. Who doesn’t? Rejoice, original Coyotes fans. The team will return to their roots on March 5th and bring […]

GIF: Ryan Suter elbows Steve Downie in the face

0 comments by on 1/13/2015

Ryan Suter may be in hot water with the NHL after he delivered a pretty nasty elbow to the face of Steve Downie. As Downie tried to pass, Suter tried to get a piece of him and his elbow flew up high into Downie’s face. It’s difficult to decipher intent, but it looks like a hit worthy […]

Johnny Gaudreau is trying to trademark “Johnny Hockey”

0 comments by

Hockey fans have been affectionately calling Calgary rookie Johnny Gaudreau by the name of Johnny Hockey for quite some time now. Gaudrea’s successful rookie campaign with the Flames to date has drawn comparisons to Johnny Manziel’s college career and thus the Johnny Hockey name was born. For most, the nickname has been just a bit […]
