On the NHL’s trade deadline on Wednesday, the New York Islanders traded forward Thomas Vanek to the Montreal Canadiens for prospect Sebastien Collberg and Montreal’s 2nd-round draft pick in the 2014 NHL Draft (the Islanders will send their 5th-round pick back to Montreal if the Canadiens make the playoffs). The trade […]

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

Hockey is a game that breeds addiction. Chris Rock once joked about the sport, "Hockey is like heroin. Only drug addicts do heroin. It's not like a recreational drug. It's never like, No, that's O.K., I'm not going to have heroin. You guys go right ahead. Hockey is kind of the same way. Only hockey […]

Predictably, Steve Yzerman was not happy in the aftermath of yesterday's trade with the New York Rangers. After all, he was painted in a corner by his 38-year old star winger with little wiggle room to negotiate a deal that would make his team better with the playoffs approaching. But there's one thing the trade […]

The 2013-14 NHL trade deadline has passed. This year's deadline was an exciting one as numerous teams made trades and plenty of noteworthy players were shipped to new cities. Despite all of the big and surprising swaps, goaltenders stole the show.  A total of 11 goaltenders were moved leading up to the deadline. One goalie, Jaroslav […]

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. Things look pretty dismal in Vancouver, but hockey fans in Florida finally have a major acquisition to celebrate.  Luongo's […]

It's finally over. After three years of dragging goaltender Roberto Luongo on regarding his future, the Vancouver Canucks' goaltending controversy ends with a trade. Eddie Lack has a new partner in young goaltender Jacob Markstrom, and Luongo is heading back where he put up some outstanding numbers: the Florida Panthers. Luongo and his huge contract […]

So much for Martin Brodeur heading off to wear a different team's Christmas sweater. The goaltender, who is in his final two months of his last contract, was attached to the Wild via rumors – but apparently those rumors aren't worth the Twitter they were tweeted on. The Minnesota Wild have effectively ended the Niklas […]

Bernie Parent. Terry Sawchuk. Patrick Roy. Glenn Hall. Ken Dryden. Jacques Plante. Dominik Hasek. Martin Brodeur. You could make a case that any of those goaltenders were the best to ever lace up their skates at the NHL level. Well, all but one. As you well know by now, Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur will get […]

This was captured by @RosenbergMerc overlooking to the new 49ers Stadium: This would be a logical move for the Sharks considering the success of the Ducks/Kings game at Dodger stadium. The NHL hasn't announced whether it will do a 2015 Stadium Series, but with ratings and gate tickets high, why stop it now?

NHL expansion is coming whether hockey fans like it or not. It's been a matter of "when" and not "if" the NHL will bring more teams into the fold for the past several years. While we could debate whether or not the league should expand (how about getting your existing teams in order first?), there's […]

Ryan Miller is on a new team. The drama, rumors and speculation out of Buffalo surrounding the goaltender's future are finally over. With the dust still settling around the deal and fans from both sides are still wrapping their heads around the future for both clubs, we're left asking: Which team did this trade help […]

The Calgary Flames are one of many teams which are expected to be active near the NHL trade deadline. The Flames, one of the worst teams in the West, are expected to sell several of their assets as they continue the long and difficult rebuilding process.  A report from TSN indicates that almost everyone in […]

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. Despite tripping over his own legs, Thomas managed to slide over and rob Green of what should have been an easy goal by.  Big blunder, even bigger recovery.  Let's look […]
