Chris Stewart was one of the most disappointing players in the NHL in 2011-12. After setting St. Louis on fire when he came over in a trade during the 2010-11 season, scoring 15 goals and 23 points in 26 games, Stewart's game regressed in a big way last year. Thanks to the Blues making it […]

Hockey is a sport loaded with names that are difficult to pronounce and almost impossible to spell. Even if you're a dedicated fan you might find yourself struggling, especially if you root for the Ottawa Senators. As it turns out, the Senators are no different, even when the question involves one of their teammates. Numerous […]

The Illinois Lottery is currently running the slogan "Anything's Possible." To put this slogan to work, they sent Patrick Kane to work in the Blackhawks Store, surprising customers that had no intention of meeting one of the stars of the Chicago Blackhawks. Kane shocked customers at the register, buzzed past confused onlookers with a mop […]

Steven Stamkos had a 2011-12 season for the record books, leading the league with 60 goals in 82 games. Remarkably, he finished 10 goals ahead of the second-best scorer, Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin. How has Stamkos followed up his extremely impressive 60-goal effort? By scoring at a higher rate in 2013, of course. Stamkos recently scored his […]

Poor Brandon Sutter. The Pittsburgh forward has been compared to his father, Brent, throughout his young NHL career. Will Brandon be as good as Brent? Which will have more points in the NHL when all is said and done? Brent hoisted the Cup twice, will Brandon? You get the idea. Unfortunately for Brandon, these comparisons […]

Corey Perry doesn't exactly have the best reputation for a goal scorer. So far this year he has nine goals and 15 assists, and he'll probably have a nice hefty suspension to go along with it after this hit in Tuesday night's game between the Anaheim Ducks and Minnesota Wild: http://youtube.com/watch?v=i172oFWdZp8?rel=0 It's obviously a late […]

Kaspars Daugavins got pretty creative with his shootout attempt against the Boston Bruins. The Ottawa forward's attempt got the crowd buzzing prior to the whistle even being blown as it became apparent that he would be trekking the puck down the ice with the toe of his stick. His move culminated in a beautiful spin-o-rama, […]

In a condensed NHL season where sellers might be tough to come by, the Florida Panthers are apparently willing to listen to "all offers" now that the team has fallen back in the playoff race. The report, as seen in the Calgary Sun, mentions that the Panthers are willing to deal just about any player […]

This installment of Hockey Fights of the Week could have been renamed Knockouts of the Week. While fights around the NHL are a common occurrence, punches that buckle an opponent are rare and a sight worth beholding. 5. Pierre-Cedric Labrie (TB) vs. Deryk Engelland (PIT) – Mar. 4 http://youtube.com/watch?v=pgIVug6mq6Y?rel=0 We'll admit, this week's list gets off to […]

Look out! Advertisements are taking over hockey games! Those 3D advertisements you see digitally placed along the glass or a relatively new invention in the NHL. In fact, numerous broadcasts still aren't using them, for one reason or another. As it turns out, the broadcasters that are using them might not be too sure how […]

It had to happen sooner or later — the Chicago Blackhawks' NHL record games with a point streak had to end. The Colorado Avalanche, the team that was, at the time, tied for last place in the Western Conference, were the team to do it it. They blew out the Hawks in Denver by a […]
