The Philadelphia Flyers have traded Scott Hartnell to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for R.J. Umberger and a fourth-round pick. This surprising deal can be viewed from a variety of angles, but the majority of hockey fans are giving the Blue Jackets the initial edge in this transaction. Let’s take a look at contracts: […]

Where will Ryan Kesler play in 2014-15? The trade speculation has been raging for quite some time, but to date there haven’t been any solid indications as to where he’ll land. The talk is that he will be traded, but unlike Jason Spezza, there haven’t been many reports as to where he’ll be traded. Ironically, […]

Winning two Stanley Cups in a span of three years should be enough to put your team on the map. It has in the hockey world, but it’s remarkable just how many media outlets continually confuse the Los Angeles Kings with the Sacramento Kings. ESPN Los Angeles is the latest guilty party. Pretty sure […]

As a woman, I inwardly (and probably outwardly) cringe whenever I see someone making it a goal to hook up with a player and using the term “puck bunny” as something to aspire to. Sure, that’s their deal and personal business and yada yada yada. The Detroit Red Wings’ Twitter account seems to agree with […]

The Phoenix Coyotes announced in January that they’d be changing their name to the Arizona Coyotes prior to the 2014-15 season. Details surrounding when the actual change would take place have been kept pretty quiet, but the organization has finally chosen a day. Changing from Phoenix to Arizona isn’t a very significant change, but it […]

Sports fans commemorating a special moment in their team’s history isn’t exactly a new idea. What is new, and what’s frankly dumbfounding, is someone getting a tattoo of Shawn Thornton squirting water on P.K. Subban. To each their own, but this is one odd moment in NHL history to carry around with you everywhere you […]

The Los Angeles Kings will be taking home a nice chunk of change along with their new Stanley Cup rings. Thanks to an updated collective bargaining agreement which raised the amount of playoff payouts, the teams competing for the Cup divide up $13 million. As the champions, the Kings earn the largest slice and are […]

The Jason Spezza trade rumors are pretty persistent. Each day brings new speculation and insight suggesting he’s on his way out of Ottawa and to a new team. Now that it seems all but certain that he’ll be traded, where is he going to land? One report suggests the list is a short one and […]

The Islanders are guaranteed to have at least one thing to celebrate at the end of the 2014-15 season. No, that doesn’t mean they’ll win the Cup or even make the playoffs. That statement refers to the fact Alexei Yashin finally comes off the books at the end of the season after what seems like […]

Ryan Callahan’s trade from the New York Rangers to the Tampa Bay Lightning was one of the biggest moves of the 2013-14 season. Based on Martin St. Louis’ performance for the Rangers following the trade and Callahan’s vanishing act in the playoffs, some may argue it was one of the weakest trades the Lighting have […]

Drew Doughty rarely left the ice during the 2013-14 playoffs. When the pressure was on or when the Kings needed to press on offense, Doughty’s number was called on more often than not. The final total for Doughty was 747 minutes and 33 seconds of playing time en route to a Cup victory. If that […]

Specifically, teams and fans are interested in learning where the league will host its next wave of outdoor contests. Colorado has been a city linked to an outdoor game, but the NHL hasn’t made anything […]
