They offered their predictions about how long a lockout might last if one was to transpire. Well, the lockout is here in all of its ugly glory. We asked […]

The negotiations between the NHL and the NHLPA haven't made much sense. Urgency has been lacking and the divide has been great throughout a process that saw both sides appear to be more concerned about their image with the fans than actually getting a deal done. With that in mind, it was only appropriate that […]

The lockout is almost here. If the NHL and the NHLPA aren't able to come to terms by Saturday, September 15th we will officially see the league close its doors.

It doesn't look like the talks between either side in the NHL/NHLPA negotiations are willing to budge to get a CBA hammered out. The CBA expires on September 15th, and the owners have been more than clear that should no solution get drawn up by then that the start of training camps and the […]

It's hard not to be snide here, but with the news that Donald Fehr, Gary Bettman, and Bill Daly will all decline paychecks should a lockout occur, some professionalism is needed. Aw, forget it. Bwhahahahahaha. No paychecks. Like Bettman and Daly needed them to begin with, amirite? Ok, got that out of my system. Objectivity […]

The Phoenix Coyotes sale saga has trudged on for so long that most hockey fans, including those in Glendale, have been conditioned to shrug off any news of an impending sale. This time around, however, it appears that buyer Greg Jamison does in fact have the $170 million cobbled together. A familar name is […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=iqMQHMxYyVA EA recently unveiled a fantastic new commercial for their latest game NHL 13 simply titled "Our Game". The 1-minute spot shows off some of the best parts of the sport we love, from the physical side to the beauty of Evgeni Malkin making defenders look silly. Unfortunately, the ad's tagline of "Our Game" is […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=S9D9sAOWKP0 Steven Stamkos delivered one of the most incredible shootout goals you'll ever see at the BioSteel Camp, an event where he captained a squad that competed against Tyler Seguin's team in a friendly matchup. The relaxed event allowed Stamkos to try something a bit different when it came down to a shootout. The end […]

The negotiation process between the NHL and the NHLPA had been fairly calm over the past several weeks. The two sides remained divided on revenue sharing but the conversation always seemed to be mostly respectful. That all changed this week when Zach Parise and Danny Briere opened up about their opinions on the negotiation process, […]

You might remember last year that EA Sports, thanks to the protestations of a little girl from Buffalo (presumably so a girl could beat her brother in both real life and in the game), added women to the Create a Pro option. I covered this on my site, Thrashing the Blues, and […]
