There are some NHL teams that bring in big bucks, like the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, and Boston Bruins. None of them can touch the juggernaut that is college sports. According to CBS News, the University of Alabama’s athletic revenue is more than the individual revenues of all 30 NHL franchises. For last year, […]

UPDATE: Mission accomplished. It was a forgettable season in Vancouver this year. As the Canucks’ playoff hopes were officially ended against the Ducks, the Vancouver faithful wanted GM Mike Gillis to know how upset they were. So, with about three minutes to go, they started chanting “Fire Gillis.” http://youtu.be/3OLJDqT_EuM The announcers picked up on it […]

Ilya Bryzgalov is crazy, we know that. On Monday night, he showed just how crazy he is. Up 1-0 and in the third period, Bryzgalov played into the Winnipeg crowd by egging them on as the chanted his name. http://youtu.be/3ZAv2OKaL3Y Laugh at Bryz all you want, but he has flown under the radar as one […]

Welcome to our second to last installment of Hockey Fights of the Week of the 2013-14 season. As we’ve discussed in the past, teams are doing more fighting in the standings than they are on the ice as the season winds down. That’s not to say everyone is playing nice (they’re not), but it does […]

UPDATE: Horton’s injury is a historic one. He reportedly didn’t travel with the team to Dallas which means he really will score a goal despite not playing or even being in the same state. It’s an incredible and ridiculous stat. The Blue Jackets really could have used him in their bout against the Stars, but […]

There’s been plenty of discussion and speculation that the NHL will alter the format of the NHL Draft in order to prevent teams from intentionally losing in order to pick up a star player. With the 2015 Draft expected to be loaded with talent, the NHL is supposedly weighing their options. According to Buffalo GM […]

It’s rather ironic that the day we post an article detailing the struggles in Washington the team has an incredible broadcast blooper on CSN. Shortly after defeating the New York Islanders in a shootout, the scoreboard on the broadcast stated the Capitals won by a score of 16-3. Looks like someone was really, really excited […]

Nathan MacKinnon needed just two points in his final six games to hit a historic mark for 18-year-olds in the NHL. On Saturday afternoon he reached the 60-point mark in grand fashion. He scored this goal to become just the 10th 18-year-old to record at least 60 points in a season in NHL history: Look […]

With their 2-1 loss Friday night to the New Jersey Devils, the Washington Capitals playoff chances are all but dead. [ RMNB ] With six games left, everyone started to realize it would take divine intervention for the Capitals to make the playoffs. If they did make it, they didn’t deserve to be there — […]

The Devils lost Patrick Elias, Adam Henrique and Jacob Josefson to injuries when they took on the Capitals on Friday night. The most cringe-worthy of the bunch had to be Elias’ as he was hit into one of the stanchions separating the benches by Washington’s Tom Wilson.
The stanchions are now padded after a few scary incidents over the past few years, but this is still a tough video to watch.

Queue the hockey/other sport memes. Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice took a puck to the head early in the first against the Penguins, and coached the entire game. Here is the gif:

Alexandre Burrows has received plenty of criticism – among other things – for his hit on Ryan McDonagh. The hit came late in the third period as the Canucks were trailing the Rangers by a score of 3-1. Borrows got his hands up high and pushed a defenseless McDonagh awkwardly into the boards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eseS0k41pqM Burrows received […]

Just when it looked like the Red Wings were down and out, their impeccable ability to find draft picks paid off again. Earlier this season, the name Gustav Nyquist meant nothing. These days, when the Red Wings play, it seems Nyquist is doing incredible things. If you haven’t been paying attention to Nyquist, you might want too. […]

It’s always interesting seeing what sort of relationship a player has with the various local reporters in charge of covering their team. Most players and reporters seem to have a fairly respectful relationship, with both sides reaching a mutual agreement on boundaries and confidentiality. In other cases, reporters develop a pretty bad reputation for latching […]

These are the five coaches we think deserve consideration for the Jack Adams award. Coaching is important, whether some people like to admit it or not, and these coaches have done a really good job steering their ships this season. Mike Babcock, Detroit If the Red Wings make the playoffs, the Jack Adams Award has […]
