Does Montreal have the best uniform in sports?

We're desperate for hockey topics to talk about. You've heard the speculative rumors about Player A potentially signing with Team B.

NHL CBA discussion today lasts a whopping 90 minutes

  Those of you who're thinking to yourselves "aw, man, there's not going to be a lockout! There're three weeks of time left for them to figure stuff out," well, stop. Wake up, smell the coffee, put the tasty adult beverage down. There might be three weeks left, but if these meetings between the owners […]

Buffalo Sabres offer Shane Doan four year, $30 million contract

  Sometimes it's nice to have a fan as the owner of a professional team. You know his heart'll always be in the right place, and he'll do what he thinks is in the franchise's best interest. No absent ownership with him — but sometimes they have the propensity to think like a fan, and […]

Cap fight: Michal Neuvirth says Braden Holtby “weakest competition yet”

Once the bridesmaid, never the bride. That should be something that Washington Capitals goaltender Michal Neuvirth should be happy to shed this season. He's not exactly the #1 goaltender for sure yet, but to hear him talk he should have no problem capturing that spot now that Tomas Vokoun left the Washington Capitals to join the […]

Philadelphia Flyers sign Scott Hartnell to pre-lockout contract

There's all sorts of lock-out talk going on out there, like how it's going to happen and how it's the owners' fault for the insane contracts they dish out like candy. Scott Hartnell apparently figured he needed to get some chocolate before the owners turned the candy into butterscotch disks of a new CBA, so […]

Los Angeles Kings start brief Twitter war with Detroit Red Wings

 The Los Angeles Kings were hosting a round-table discussion with authors from various blogs regarding sundry topics, one of which was which team would fall out of playoff contention this season. Nathan Eide of Hockey Wilderness said this, which is what unintentionally started this tift: West: Detroit. Ding, dong, the Wings are dead. Too many holes, […]

Introducing the scariest mask in the NHL

Goaltenders are a strange breed. It's assumed one has to be in order to willingly stand in front a frozen piece of vulcanized rubber hurtling at over 100 miles per hour. However, like any eccentric group of people there are some goaltenders that redefine the meaning of bizarre.  Meet Richard Bachman, goaltender for the Dallas […]

Alexei Kovalev attempting NHL comeback

The fate of the 2012-13 NHL season is yet to be determined. However, if the season does take place in one form or another, one former star is attempting an NHL comeback. Alexei (or Alex) Kovalev has stated that he has a couple of tryout offers with different NHL clubs, signaling that his comments about […]

Do you have hockey junk in your trunk? These jeans might be for you.

File this one under "interesting news of the day that you didn't need to know." Via Deadspin comes this fashion tip. Perhaps you're a hockey player, and perhaps you have a little Radek Bonkadonk going on in your rear end area. You know, booty. It happens – lower body workouts grow muscles, and your butt […]

NHL lockout looming – Who do you blame?

If an NHL lockout delays or consumes the 2012-13 season, who should we blame? This was the question I posed on Twitter in an attempt to measure the general pulse of the fans. The sample size was admittedly small but the idea was to get an idea of what the average fan thinks of the […]

Jonathan Quick required some minor surgery to repair a disc fragment and an inflammatory cyst this week, as reported by the LA Times. The surgery, which was described as a "minor surgical procedure", is expected to require approximately six weeks for Quick to make a full recovery.  As things stand Quick should be at 100% […]

Pekka Rinne may see less time in 2012-13

Pekka Rinne is the heart and soul of the Nashville Predators. An argument could be made that Shea Weber is the leader of the team but the truth is that the Predators wouldn't be close to the level they are without the outstanding goaltending Rinne provides.  A recent article from The Tennessean speculates that Nashville […]

Which injured star from 2011-12 needs the biggest 2012-13?

The 2011-12 season saw several key players miss significant time with injuries.
