Martin Broduer may wait one more year before he hangs up his skates. The 41-year-old goaltender has stated that he thinks he will play in 2014-15, extending his NHL career to an incredible 22 years. In an interview seen on NHL.com, Brodeur answered rather bluntly about his future in the league. When asked if he’ll return, […]

Hockey fans finally have a cookie which celebrates their love of the great sport of hockey. Oreo is pushing out special Stanley Cup Oreos in honor of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Unfortunately, they’re only available in Canada. Wait, you mean the cookie in that picture isn’t to scale? Here we all thought we’d be getting […]

This is further proof that the NHL hasn’t reached the casual fan. The question is , “100+ assists in an NHL season has been accomplished only 13 times, 11 times by this player.” Clearly, the answer is Wayne Gretzky. But “Joe” didn’t see it like that.

NHL officials have always been under the microscope. However, things seem to have gotten worse over the last several seasons as blown calls continue to pile up and teams are being wrongly defeated on a more regular basis. What has the league done about their shoddy officiating? Not much, but that may be about to […]

Goaltender Anthony Stolarz of the OHL’s London Knights has a bit of a temper. After receiving a slash from Josh Ho-Sang of the Windsor Spitfire (you’ve got to love OHL team names), Stolarz used his paddle to chop at the back of Ho-Sang’s head. Remarkably, Stolarz received just a two-minute penalty on the play and […]

That’s a brutal collision. Amazingly, Wheeler later returned to the game. These types of collisions are some of the scariest in the sport. The NHL curved the glass near the benches in order to soften hits around that area of the ice, but now they may need to address the issue of doors being left open during play to avoid a serious injury.

Being that hockey is such a team game, it’s tough to pin the blame on just one player. That said, one player can make a huge difference in the grand scheme of a team’s makeup. In the following list, you’ll see most of the teams of the chosen player are having an equally subpar season. Maybe […]

The end of the regular season is near. As we prepare to look back and reflect on all of the fights which took place this year, we watch as teams battle for their playoff lives and others battle simply to stay somewhat relevant as they drift along in the basement of the NHL. This means […]

The Buffalo Sabres have been pretty bad this season. That’s not exactly news, but it may come as a surprise to hockey fans who haven’t been following the team too closely is that the club is on the verge of being historically bad this season. Specifically, the team’s offense may go down as one of […]

I have my personal opinions about jersey tossing. Last season, during a Winnipeg Jets/ Nashville Predators game, some of my Thrashers friends made the trek northward with jerseys in tow. It was a statement piece on how terrible the old ownership group was, but all I saw on TV that day was a crest that […]

There is nothing worse than watching someone bang on the glass during a play. That’s why this video is the greatest:

Rich Nash’s return to Columbus was an interesting one. He received a loud ovation and the Blue Jackets played a nice video tribute. From there, things took a nasty turn as Nash shoved goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and then dropped the gloves with Matt Calvert. As expected, Nash’s return to Columbus was met with mixed reactions […]
