Penguins GM: Morning skates are pointless and fighting isn’t needed

0 comments by on 11/30/2016

Jim Rutherford isn’t exactly hiding his feelings on subjects regarding today’s game. Speaking at a Penguins event, Rutherford admitted there’s no point to the morning skate. He said coach Mike Sullivan, owner Mario Lemieux and himself all aren’t fans of the tedious morning routine. Rutherford’s anti-morning skate stance is probably felt league-wide at this point. The […]

Roberto Luongo was a good sport after getting roasted in the shootout

Roberto Luongo is one of the few personalities in the NHL. He always knows how to keep everything light-hearted and frame it all as a game. After getting taken down in the shootout, he was able to bring a little self-deprecating humor to Twitter.

Playing in the NHL has its many benefits, but it is also one of most violent sports out there. You’ll get some nasty scrapes and cuts which is the nature of a sport where players skate around on razor-sharp blades. Nick Paul, a forward for the Binghamton Senators in the AHL, found out the dangers of the […]

0 comments by

Could this possibly be a case of too little, too late? NBC announced that they would be putting the NHL All-Star Game on the network channel rather than NBCSN. This will be the first time the game has been on network TV since 2004. Why make this decision now? Is NBC finally going to utilize […]

If you think the Vegas Golden Knights name controversy was already behind you, think again. It looks like some Army officials are looking into the use of the NHL’s newly minted expansion team. Over what you may ask? The Army’s parachute team.

Making sense of Florida Panthers firing Gerard Gallant, which NHL coach could be next

0 comments by

The Florida Panthers stunned the hockey world on Sunday amid reports of head coach Gerard Gallant being fired. Coming off a surprise 47-win, 103-point season and a Jack Adams nomination in 2015-16, Gallant’s job appeared safe. But despite the relative absurdity of firing a coach coming off a great season (and currently one game over .500 this season), […]

Doug Maclean didn’t even realize he was roasted by a minority owner of the Panthers

0 comments by

Doug Maclean is a man with a bunch of opinions that get broadcast on Sportsnet. He has decided that his most recent rant would be about the Florida Panthers and the way they went about firing Gerard Gallant. Maclean conveniently seems to forget that he himself fired Gallant when with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Nonetheless, […]

Florida Panthers fire head coach Gerard Gallant

0 comments by on 11/27/2016

From being a Jack Adams award finalist to fired in less than a year, Gerard Gallant may have had one of the worst swings in NHL coaching history. He just took a moribund franchise to the playoffs for the first time in a decade plus and he has now been shown the door by the […]

Video: Puck hits head coach Barry Trotz in the head

0 comments by on 11/26/2016

Hockey players have been universally recognized for their toughness, but perhaps some of that praise needs to be sent towards head coach Barry Trotz. Trotz was behind the bench as the Capitals and Maple Leafs started the first period when the puck came over the boards and struck him right in the head. The ref cam showed […]
