The Boston Bruins were desperately trying to hold on to a 1-0 lead late in Game 4. The Pittsburgh Penguins were finally generating strong offensive chances, throwing countless pucks toward Tuukka Rask's net. With just over a minute to go, Evgeni Malkin fired a shot at what appeared to be an empty net. Cue Zdeno Chara's tree […]

Sure, there is a lot of speculation that Sergei Gonchar will return to the KHL to play for his old team, Metallurg Magnitogorsk (and proof of returning Stalinism Mike Keenan). Those rumors haven't deterred the Dallas Stars from dipping into the deep end of the veteran free agent pool, however. They have traded a conditional […]

While the Los Angeles Kings battled the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 4 on Thursday night, some of the evening's biggest theatrics were taking place on Twitter.

As I mentioned on Twitter the other night, forgive me for expecting the Conference Finals series to have better hockey than the quarterfinals. So far neither series has even been a series – it's been one team plowing over the other. The Chicago Blackhawks have been overwhelming the Los Angeles Kings, and the Boston Bruins […]

Tim Thomas is making headlines again and this time it's actually hockey related (surprising, right?). According to a report seen on Hockey Night in Canada (and then followed up by outlets such as the Toronto Sun), Thomas might return to hockey as soon as next season.  Does that mean we'll see Thomas in an NHL […]
