Robin Lehner was caught out of position and was forced to dive across his crease in order to stop a shot from Phil Kessel. Luckily for Lehner, Kessel mostly fanned on the shot which granted Lehner enough time to dive and extend his paddle, stopping Kessel’s effort.

Watch as Henrik Lundqvist completely robs Justin Schultz. The best part of this sequence is the reaction from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. The Oilers forward raises his arm to celebrate the goal from Schultz only to realize that King Henrik has done it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TkJE57DTCU

Nathan MacKinnon was assessed a five-minute major penalty for boarding after he leaned on Luke Schenn and sent him awkwardly into the boards. Though the contact appeared to be minimal, the officials decided MacKinnon’s contact on Schenn was enough to warrant the penalty.

Nashville Magazine has reminded us of the joys of stock footage. If you’re going to use stock footage, try to make sure the player you feature is still on the team. David Legwand was the face of the Predators for roughly a decade, but he left in 2013-14 and joined Detroit. Now, Legwand is skating […]

As you might expect, Downie wasn’t too happy and tried to jump Big Buff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRukQhoY_Vc The punishment during the game was a fitting example of […]
