I can safely say I've never seen anything like it. I was sitting from my perch in the press box as Damien Brunner scored the first New Jersey Devil goal of the season during the club's home opener against the New York Islanders. The celebration started, and then all of a sudden, you heard the […]

Chris Pronger has been removed from hockey since 2011. After a series of surgeries, post-concussion syndrome and an eye injury, the hockey world knew that Pronger's playing days were over. However, hope endured that Pronger might somehow return due to the fact he has never officially announced his retirement.  Philadelphia GM Paul Holmgren has confirmed what […]

The first week of the season saw some decent hockey fights, but it was clear players were adjusting to the new helmet rule and trying to get back into the flow of the regular season. The second week was a big improvement as tempers boiled over and we were treated to some outstanding battles.  5. […]

I'm based in New Jersey, so I have to watch a lot of NFC East football. In most recent years, that has made Sunday afternoons and nights extremely entertaining. From Eli Manning guiding the Giants to two Super Bowls, to the debut of Robert Griffin III, to Tony Romo and Michael Vick keeping the Cowboys […]

I'm about 99% sure this isn't really the Oilers posting this on the Canadian classified ads site Kijiji. Of course, with the Oilers firmly ensconced in the basement of the Western Conference and resorting to desperate attempts at lighting a fire under their team's butt by benching Nail Yakupov, that one percent chance that this is from the […]

The Vancouver Canucks scored one of the strangest own-goals you'll ever see when they hosted the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night. While on a power-play, Roberto Luongo moved behind his net and played the puck over to Jason Garrison. Garrison left the puck for Dan Hamhuis. Hamhuis lost the handle and the puck squirted toward Luongo […]

Jonathan Bernier is making a strong case to be the top goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs. In his first four appearances with his new team, Bernier stopped 113 of the 116 shots he faced. Given the start against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, Bernier allowed five goals but he made one spectacular save […]

It's easy to laugh at this. As the two outcasts in the Flortheast division, the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning more than likely aren't going to be contenders for the Stanley Cup this season. The pretty stacked Atlantic Division has the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins, who are two early favorites this year. […]

Tomas Hertl has received plenty of unnecessary criticism for his nifty fourth goal against the New York Rangers. Apparently some people thought Hertl was showboating when he pulled the puck between his legs and lifted it over Martin Biron.  What does Joe Thornton think about the situation? Well, the San Jose forward revealed that if […]

Nail Yakupov is in a commercial for Warrior where he promotes the company's new tagline: Nailed It. In the short spot Yakupov successfully performs different actions and follows it up by saying "Nailed it." He knocks a bottle off the roof of a net, tosses some trash into a garbage can and walks by some attractive […]

Sergei Fedorov is about to resume his professional hockey career. The 43-year-old Fedorov is ready to make his return to the ice and will suit up for CSKA Moscow of the KHL on Friday. Fedorov last played for Metallurg Mg back in March of 2012 and now (if the reports are true) will abandon retirement after a little […]

Tomas Hertl had a night to remember when the San Jose Sharks hosted the New York Rangers on Tuesday night. With a hat trick already in the bag, Hertl added his fourth goal of the night in style. Using a move normally reserved for the shootout, Hertl went between his legs in order to beat New […]

Jonathan Quick is one of the best goaltenders in the NHL. Despite owning that title, he has given up his fair share of embarrassing goals over the course of his career. LA's game against the New York Rangers on Monday night yielded another unfortunate moment for the goaltender as Ryan McDonagh scored a 174-foot shorthanded goal to […]
