I’m not the world’s biggest fan of Mike Milbury. Personally, I think he exists for the sole purpose of irritating Pierre McGuire and Jeremy Roenick, and he does an outstanding job at both. Admit it – you like to watch him annoy other people, especially McGuire and JR. You probably would have liked to have […]

Combining a powerful offense with a formidable defense, the Bruins lead the NHL with a +64 goal differential by scoring 262 goals while only allowing 198 goals. Their success as a team has […]

The relationship between Russia and North America has been strained to say the least over the course of the past fifty years. From nuclear standoff to endless political posturing, the areas that are brought together by the telescopic eyesight of Sarah Palin have rarely seen eye to eye. This is in the case in hockey […]

A revolution has begun! The fans of the Columbus Blue Jackets have declared war on the team. And with the team recently agreeing to stay in the city until 2039, now is the perfect time for the fans to defend their ground. A new advocacy group in the city Columbus was formed in early March […]

It’s rare that we here at Puck Drunk Love have the ability to write a positive story about Rick DiPietro. The injuries, the crushed expectations and the bloated contract make it awfully tough for a writer to find the bright side of what has been a devastating stretch for the Islanders netminder. On April 1st, […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= Imo8n85rqg0[/youtube] News reports are often pretty stale and bland. Sports reports are usually worse, using the same cliches and optimistic attitude even in the most dismal of situations. If your team is bad, or even extremely bad, you’ll rarely hear a news report even hint at that fact, instead saying such seasons are unfortunate […]

There haven’t been any specific rumors of the Blue Jackets’ pending doom/relocation to Quebec City, but just in case you were getting worried about the franchise’s future: don’t. Despite the losses and despite the questionable front office of the team, Franklin County, Ohio has agreed on a purchase agreement that will enable the Blue Jackets […]

It’s a topic we talk about every year – which player will be on the cover of EA’s latest NHL video game? This year EA is doing things a bit differently and is allowing the fans to select which hockey player will be on the cover of their newest game NHL 13. Set up in […]

The riots. The destruction. The mountain of work for Vancouver’s Police, Fire, and EMS departments. The ending to the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals was a dark time for the city. The Canucks are taking steps this year to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself. Canucks Sports & Entertainment announced this morning the launch of their […]

There are few certainties in the modern NHL. One of the few certainties is that Steven Stamkos will score goals when he is healthy – lots of them. Now he has a record that proves it. In his team’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers, Stamkos notched his 53rd goal of the season, breaking the original […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= uOCXfu_mWyY[/youtube] March 26th, 1997 marks a special day in NHL history for all the right or wrong reasons depending on your stance on fighting in the NHL. Fifteen years ago today fans saw one of the biggest, most heated brawls in the modern NHL. The incident might be most remembered for the specific tussle […]

It hasn’t been a very pleasant three or four seasons for Phoenix Coyotes fans. The reason? It’s as plain as the empty seats in Jobing.com Arena on a weeknight game — relocation rumors have hovered over the team for so long it’s a miracle that fans haven’t been given Prozac as a game day giveaway.

http://youtube.com/watch?v= z3YhJo7x1ww[/youtube] Have you caught any of the NHL’s newest television ads of their “Because it’s the Cup” campaign? This year the NHL publicly stated they were targeting the casual and non-hockey fan demographic and would do so through a series of “Because it’s the Cup” ads that would appear in all forms of media. […]

Welcome to America. Please choose your advertising language of choice. Does that welcoming message seem out of place or will it be something that is yet to come? Yesterday, news broke that Coca-Cola will start to add Chinese language based advertisements to their rotations inside Madison Square Garden. This new idea has stemmed from the […]
