GIF: Sidney Crosby gets the XBOX controller disconnected treatment

Sidney Crosby was a shocking -5 against the Sharks on Thursday night. Included in his awful night was a terrible giveaway to Patrick Marleau on a Penguins powerplay that resulted in a shorthanded goal. It is only fair he gets the same treatment as Alexander Ovechkin. h/t to @GogglesTheFox

Yzerman, Lightning in unique position after St. Louis trade

Predictably, Steve Yzerman was not happy in the aftermath of yesterday's trade with the New York Rangers.

The Florida Panthers bond with Roberto Luongo on Twitter

Roberto Luongo's trade to Florida was a shocker. Considering all of the drama in Vancouver over Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo during the 2012-13 season, it's crazy that the organization now no longer owns either goaltender.

Wild surprise trade for Bryzgalov leaves Brodeur out in the cold

So much for Martin Brodeur heading off to wear a different team's Christmas sweater.

The Minnesota Wild have effectively ended the Niklas […]

Devils to trade old player often confused as best goaltender of all-time

Bernie Parent. Terry Sawchuk. Patrick Roy. Glenn Hall. Ken Dryden. Jacques Plante. Dominik Hasek. Martin Brodeur.

Video: Tim Thomas falls down, still makes amazing save

Mike Green thought he had an easy goal. Breaking in all alone on Florida's net, goaltender Tim Thomas tripped and fell down on his backside.
