Jason Zucker took out Kyle Clifford’s legs and was handed a two-minute penalty for tripping. As Clifford fell to the ice, his skates flew up and crashed against Zucker’s face. The situation looked grim, but remarkably Zucker escaped a serious injury and returned to the ice later in the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaAJX6KD0ZY That was a close shave. […]

P.K. Subban burst out of the penalty box, collected the puck and swooped around the Colorado net. Finding more time and space than he expected, Subban then made a nifty move and scored a beauty. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

Ryan Whitney, a current defenseman for HC Sochi and former skater for the Edmonton Oilers, had a bit of fun at the expense of his old side. With just one point through their first five games, the Oilers are once again looking like a team competing for a high draft pick as opposed to a […]

Where will Mike Babcock coach beyond 2014-15? That’s the question everyone has been asking and Babcock is tired of talking about the matter. Following his team’s morning skate, the Red Wings announced he will not be answering any questions regarding his coaching plans for the future. Don’t the Red Wings know that by restricting the […]

David Moss was eager to escape from the penalty box. Perhaps a bit too eager as he somehow managed to get his glove caught in the door as he was leaving. While that moment alone is GIF-worthy, the look on his face as he debates trying to retrieve it is incredible. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

Sweeping declarations are fun. On Thursday night, the New York Islanders will square off against the San Jose Sharks in a matchup of teams off to hot starts. While it’d be extremely far-fetched to say that this is a potential Stanley Cup Finals preview, there’s no doubt that both of these teams have the ability to make some noise […]
