Reports are indicating that Dominik Hasek is contemplating a return to the NHL. Hasek, 47, hasn’t appeared in the NHL since he called it quits following the 2007-08 season where he minded the net for the Detroit Red Wings. We aren’t pulling your leg. Even at the ripe age of 47, Hasek is apparently extremely motivated to play […]

Free Jonathan Bernier. One can only imagine how frustrating Jonathan Bernier’s career has been so far. The Los Angeles Kings selected the netminder 11th overall in the 2006 NHL Draft but have used Bernier sparingly thanks to the talented Jonathan Quick clogging the path from the bench to the ice. Bernier’s frustrations have finally boiled […]

Shane Doan has always been more than vocal about the fact that he wants to stay put with the franchise that drafted him. The last member of the Coyotes who also played for the Winnipeg Jets, Doan is the team’s captain and centering force in the locker room. He’s beloved by the fans, and he […]

Alumni games are always fun. It’s great for fans to see the players of their youth lace up the skates again, and it’s a blast for the guys to go back out on the ice where they made their livlihoods, this time for fun. Franchises get to re-live the moments that made them great, and […]

Image courtesy of wild.nhl.com There were big teams in competition for Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, the two biggest free agents of the season.

They started out by dealing arguably their best forward Mike Ribeiro to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a second-round pick and Cody Eakin.

The hit that Raffi Torres put on Marian Hossa during game three of the first round series between the Chicago Blackhawks and Phoenix Coyotes was unprecedented. The hit concussed Hossa and knocked him out for the rest of the Blackhawks’ time in the playoffs. It was high, it was malicious, and Director of Player Safety […]

LeBron James was arguably the greatest free agent to ever test the open market in professional sports. A player nearing the apex of a generational career available to all suitors.

There are annual favorites who get overlooked (Fred Shero and Pat Burns come to mind), as well as personal heroes that fans would love to see in the hall. No one’s ever 100% happy about the end result, but this year […]

Some teams were happy with how their 2012 NHL Draft went. Some teams were content but wish things could have gone a bit better. Then there’s the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets were so unhappy with how things went at the Draft that they fired four of their scouts hours after the Draft wrapped […]
