Welcome to the slow, boring days of summer. If you're a hockey fan, you're hoping for the summer to speed by as quickly as possible and for October to magically show up on your calendar. There's very little to talk about in the world of hockey. Most major free agents have signed and most teams […]

If you saw one of your favorite hockey players, what would you do? Ask for an autograph? Try to make some weak conversation? Ask them to punch you in the face? If you're these fans who followed Roenick around a golf course, the "punch in the face" option was at the top of the list. According […]

The Nashville Predators recently gave Rich Clune a two-year, $1.7 million extension which will keep him with the club through the 2015-16 season.

Specifically, the trade which sent David Perron to Edmonton and Magnus Paajarvi to the St. Louis Blues. Maybe they were a bit too eager as they ran a rather hilarious cover story with one embarrassing blooper. Do you see the problem here? That's Alex Pietrangelo […]

The Boston Bruins believe in Tuukka Rask. How much faith do they have in their 26-year-old netminder? Enough to hand him an eight-year, $56 million contract, as reported by the team's official site. Rask's average salary cap hit will be $7 million a year through the 2020-21 season. The Bruins rewarded Rask handsomely for his […]
