We try to keep our focus at PDL on the ice, but every now and then a story comes along involving a former player which is so bizarre we can’t help but throw a few words in its direction. Sean Avery is a former player we’ve covered at length due to his various quotes and […]

The Chicago Blackhawks unveiled their uniforms for the 2015 Winter Classic against the Washington Capitals and they’re pretty underwhelming. It’s not that the uniforms are bad (they’re not), it’s just that they’re nearly identical to the team’s current road uniforms. Look at the photo below to see the away sweaters and compare them to the […]

The Red Wings have been on the wrong end of a ton of calls recently. Perhaps the most obvious example was the goal which was disallowed due to goaltender interference. Maybe it’s because of those recent injustices that the officials turned a blind eye to this obvious Too Many Men penalty. That’s a pretty bad […]

It’s time to talk about the financial situation in Florida again. The Panthers are a team in the red, but that’s not exactly new information. If you’ve seen the attendance figures so far this year, you’re aware that they’re averaging just over 9,000 fans per night through their first four home games. As for last year, […]

The first month of 2014-15 is officially in the books. So far the year has yielded plenty of surprises, a ton of talking points and some memorable fights. As we’ve mentioned in one of our previous installments, the number of fights seems to be on the decline which makes our job a difficult one. Teams […]

Here’s a new defensive tactic for you. AHL goaltender David Leggio of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers got creative when he realized he was facing down a 2-on-0 rush. Instead of letting the opposition walk in alone on goal, Leggio turned around and knocked the net off of its moorings.

Goalie playing the puck fail! Jonas Hiller stretched out to stop the puck, missed and went flying. No harm done as Calgary had the man advantage, but it’s safe to say Hiller’s pride took a knock.

The Thomas Vanek gambling story just took an interesting turn. A bookmaker who pleaded guilty to laundering money has released some details regarding the case through his lawyer. The bookie pleaded guilty to laundering a $230,000 payment, one which was made with a New York Islanders check endorsed by Vanek, and discussed that the payment only […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the most popular franchises in all of sports. They’re currently the clear top team within their own city and they’re usually the most expensive ticket in the NHL. However, MLSE CEO Tim Leiweke believes times are changing and the Leafs may not own the thrown in Toronto for much longer. Leiweke’s comments, as […]

Jamie Benn wasn’t too pleased when Jason Zucker made a nice defensive play to steal the puck. Upon losing the puck, Benn turned and used both hands to deliver a nasty slash to Zucker. The play earned a two-minute penalty, but you could make a strong case for a more severe punishment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43GDTMIUN2o

Tom Sestito had a big hit lined up, but things went horribly wrong. There’s nothing quite as funny and awkward looking as a missed check.

It took nine games, but the Carolina Hurricanes are finally in the win column. The Hurricanes beat the Arizona Coyotes by a score of three to zero for their first win of the 2014-15 season. The club has had a dreadful start to the year, picking up just two points through their first eight games. Maybe […]

Early injuries to key players can be difficult to overcome in the early going of a new season. Random injuries outside of regular games are even more difficult. Joffrey Lupul must have some pretty bad luck considering how he broke a bone in his hand earlier this week. Lupul stepped on a stick during the Maple […]
