Nick Grossman was lining up John Carlson for a big hit, but missed and crashed into the glass. It looks like the Verizon Center is still working out its preseason kinks as the glass popped out of its stanchions and fell into the crowd. Thankfully, the glass remained in one piece and no one was hurt. […]

The AHL is still completing their preseason schedule and already we may have seen one of the best goals of the year. Stanislav Galiev, a prospect within the Washington Capitals organization, took the puck between his legs and made a defenseman look silly before burying the puck in the back of the net. The spin-o-rama may […]

When the Los Angeles Kings hoisted the Cup at the end of 2013-14, the conversation regarding dynasties heated up. The general consensus was that the Kings were not a dynasty – yet.

The construction worker comparisons have grown tiresome, which possibly explains the analogy Barry Trotz used when describing his team. “You want to have that gang mentality. You don’t want […]

Despite the fact the regular season hasn’t started yet, Brad Marchand is already in regular form and causing mayhem out on the ice.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the most expensive sports tickets around. With that fact in mind, the team’s announcement that they plan to give away 200 tickets to the public for every home game in 2014-15 is worth noting.

When the Wells Fargo Center upgraded their lighting and installed approximately 25,000 LED lights, those in charge probably only considered the positives such as saving on energy and a better, brighter experience for fans.

Jonathan Bernier almost committed a huge blunder when he made a weak pass behind his own net, forcing his defenseman to make a hurried pass which deflected in front of the vacated Toronto net. Crisis averted as Bernier scrambled back into his crease and made a crazy save with his foot right as the puck reached […]

Mark Scheifele isn’t an unknown around the Jets’ locker room or organization. He’s not some temporary try-out, or a young kid who’s about ready to be sent back to his junior team. He’s the Jets’ first draft pick after relocation moved the Thrashers to Winnipeg, and he’s become a regular and dependable part of their […]

The Columbus Blue Jackets fell to the Pittsburgh Penguins in preseason action, but it’s clear Sergei Bobrovsky is ready for the regular season to start. After a puck skipped over his right shoulder, Bobrovsky instinctively reached behind him and used the handle of his stick to swat the puck out of harm’s way. Who had […]
