Tomas Hertl has an opinion on Don Cherry

Very few people south of the Canadian border hold Don Cherry in high esteem; most people that I know north of it just kind of tolerate him because he’s been on TV for 700 years and is an institution. His clothing choices are questionable, but his comments on European hockey players may be worse. If […]

P.K. Subban embellishes high stick

Did you catch P.K. Subban’s embellishment of a high stick against the New York Rangers? Rick Nash caught Subban with his stick, but keep a close eye on Subban’s skates.   Some more fuel for the Subban haters. Canadiens fans were quick to note that David Desharnais took a high stick, didn’t embellish and the officials […]

Pekka Rinne named MVP of 2014 World Championship

Pekka Rinne had a rough 2013-14 for the Nashville Predators and that might be putting things lightly. Rinne needed surgery on his hip and then missed additional time after he needed another operation to remove a bacterial infection on the same hip. When Rinne returned, it was clear he was rusty and far from his […]

Gary Bettman named Sports Executive of the Year

Gary Bettman was named Sports Executive of the Year by the Sports Business Journal at their annual Sports Business Awards. It’s not the only award the NHL was given on Wednesday night, however.

Wild invite season ticket holders to paint their ice

The 2013-14 season ended on a sour note for the Minnesota Wild, losing to the Chicago Blackhawks in the second round of the playoffs. Though the sting of the loss is still lingering, the Wild wanted to close out the year one a high note and invited their season ticket holders to paint the ice […]

Where will Ryan Miller end up? That’s the question hockey fans have been asking ever since the St. Louis Blues passed on Miller in favor of Brian Elliott and Jake Allen. One team Miller has been linked to since last year’s trade deadline is the Anaheim Ducks. San Jose is another organization believed to have […]

GIF: Magic puck won’t cross the line in Game 2 of CHI-LA

The Chicago Blackhawks had a goal in the bag. At least, that’s what it looked like, but apparently this puck doesn’t obey the laws of physics. How? Here’s another look: There’s really no sense in trying to explain how this happened. It looks like a glitch. Obviously Jonathan Quick practices some real dark magic in […]

Borna Rendulic becomes first Croatian player signed in the NHL

Borna Rendulic has made NHL history. That’s pretty impressive considering he hasn’t even played in his first NHL game. As reported by KHL.hr, Rendulic is the first Croatian player to sign a contract with an NHL team. Other NHL players have Croatian roots, but Rendulic is the first who started his hockey career in Croatia. […]

GIF: Two Swiss skaters hilariously fail to score on empty net

A hockey player shooting a puck wide of an open net is a fairly common occurrence. It’s especially common if you follow the St. Louis Blues. It is, however, pretty rare to see two players skate in on an empty net when the goalie is pulled and for both men to come up empty.

A look at visor usage in the NHL

Serious injuries to noteworthy players brought the topic of visors in the NHL to the forefront of hockey conversation over the last few years. The NHL mandated visors, but allowed players with at least 25 games of experience to decide whether or not they want to don a visor. So, how have things panned out […]
