John Gibson is in the NHL history books after recording a shutout again the LA Kings in his playoff debut. Called on after Frederik Anderson went down with an injury, the 20-year-old Gibson had just three NHL games to his name heading into Game 4 against the Kings. It was a bold decision by coach […]

The 2013-14 NHL playoffs already featured a story about a water bottle. Remember when Corey Perry squirted water in Jeff Carter’s glove? Now here comes another story, but this time there’s a lot more controversy. Boston’s Shawn Thornton reportedly squirted water at P.K. Subban. At first people believed it was spit, but the video (what […]

France defeated Canada by a score of 3-2 in a shootout at the World Championships. The upset – and what an upset it was – could be credited to Stephane Da Costa’s two goals and by an amazing performance from Cristobal Huet. Huet’s best save of the game was this gem on Canada’s Morgan Rielly. […]

It’s the playoffs, where the guys on the ice will do anything to win. Off of the ice, however, they’re civilians, and oftentimes they’re friends. The New York Rangers may be playing for their playoff lives tonight, but Martin St. Louis has more important things on his mind; his mother, France, passed away at the […]

So sorry, Leafs fans. With Carlyle probably staying put, that can lead one to assume that Dave Nonis’ job is secure. Heck, everyone’s job is secure. It’s unsure what new team president Brendan Shanahan’s strategy is, or why he is staying the course after such a tremendous backslide over the course of last season. It’s […]

The idea of the Hockey Marathon is as crazy as it sounds. A group of 40 players are trying to set the Guinness record for the longest game of hockey ever played. Specifically, they’ll try to play hockey continuously for 248 hours (more than 10 days, if math isn’t your forte) in an attempt to […]

Pierre McGuire finally got a day off on Tuesday and that broke an incredible streak of 20 games in 20 days he announced to start the NHL playoffs. If they kept such records on games announced in a row, this might be one. Is there another broadcaster to even come close to this? Pierre isn’t […]

What an incredible goal from P.K. Subban. The young defenseman is having a series to remember against the Boston Bruins. Don’t judge Tuukka Rask too harshly. He may have looked silly, but every goaltender in the NHL would have been faked out by Subban’s deke.

Every year, hockey fans rally around how tough the sport’s players are during the playoffs. There’s the usual broken bones, sprains, strains and other familiar injuries, but every now and then there comes an injury which really grabs your attention. Chicago’s Niklas Hjalmarsson won’t miss any time after taking a puck to the throat in Game […]

Finland’s line change against the Czech Republic was bad. Really awkward and really bad. Watch as the Fins fall down, repeatedly, in what might be one of the clumsiest and most awkward line change in hockey history. Credit to Reddit Hockey for finding this gem.

It’s been a disappointing season or six for the Carolina Hurricanes. The spring cleaning began when Jim Rutherford was removed from his position as general manager, though keeping him on as team president is more of a spring job title shifting than cleaning. The Canes then promoted alumni Ron Francis to general manager, after which […]

Stephen Weiss was a huge disappointment for the Detroit Red Wings in 2013-14. Actually, that’s a pretty big understatement as Weiss appeared in just 26 games, recording two goals and two assists, after signing a five-year, $24.5 million contract over the summer. It looked like Detroit found their second-line center, or at least a valuable […]

Jack Edwards is both applauded and ridiculed for his intense love of the Boston Bruins, but he perfectly captured how hockey fans feel about Pierre McGuire with one brilliantly short Tweet. In case Edwards deletes that Tweet, you can see what he said in the photo at the top of this page. We’re not sure […]
