Martin Brodeur is a New Jersey Devil. For many of us, who have been following hockey since or before his rookie season at age 19, he is the New Jersey Devils. I would be lying if I didn’t breathe a sigh of relief when the trade deadline ended and he was still in New Jersey. […]

In less than a week another dog story? Yes and no. Harvey the Hound is the Flames mascot. In typical Flames fashion, Harvey and the Flames screwed up by not showing up for a Black Diamond tigermites charity game in late 2013. Kids were crying and overall it was a major PR flub. But, the […]

Some weeks we feature close, tightly-contested fights where it’s difficult to pick a winner. This is not one of those weeks. This week you’ll see five lopsided battles where you almost feel sorry for the loser – almost.

Buffalo GM Tim Murray is going to try a unique approach to help build a winner for coach Ted Nolan. He’s going to try and bring in better players.

Listen, pretty much everyone that I know thinks that the old Winnipeg Jets jerseys are wonderful. I’m a former Thrashers fan, and if someone gave me a Selanne or Tkachuk old school Jets jersey, I’d wear it in a nanosecond. As cool as I think the old logo is, I’m also aware that it’s not […]
Knowing Mike Milbury has a job talking hockey makes me feel good about life after I'm done playing. Guy's a zero.

The lore of the Stanley Cup is often used to promote the NHL, sometimes to the detriment of the stars of the game themselves. However, this year NBC has chosen to go the comedy route with its playoff spots. The effect is pretty solid. A 90-second trailer for the campaign, starring multiple NBC News staffers […]

This was posted on Reddit hockey and it’s a fantastic documentation of a 14/15-year-old championship game in Uxbridge, Ontario. Per user meandyouandx, these are rules: After 1-1 score at end of regulation. O/T format was 1 min periods starting 4 on 4, then 3 on 3, 2 on 2 and it went to 1-1. In the fourth […]

As if punishment for dissenters wasn’t already terrible enough in Communist countries: Seriously, though, what did China ever do to Canada to deserve this?

Things have not gone well for the Toronto Maple Leafs as of late. Once thought to have a solid foothold in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, the Leafs have lost seven consecutive games thanks to a 4-2 beating by the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday night. Enter Riddick Bowe.

UPDATE: 3/29 – The streak is over. O’Reilly picked up his first penalty of the season on Saturday afternoon. He was given two minutes for playing with a broken stick. The penalty box is practically a second home for some NHL players. For Ryan O’Reilly, it’s an area of the arena he isn’t very familiar […]
The man who kept the Islanders in New York has had enough.

Islanders fans have been through a lot in recent years. Bad personnel decision after bad personnel decision has mired the franchise in mediocrity for decades. Any time the team showed a glimmer of hope, it has been swiftly followed by disaster. One step forward, two steps back. Rinse, repeat. This has not been unique to […]

A dog attended the Red Wings – Canadiens game on Thursday night. Look how focused he is! Too bad he didn’t see a winner.
