5 NHL teams set to get better during 2016-17 season

0 comments by

It’s always hard to predict turnover in the NHL, except to predict that there will be. Last year at Puck Drunk Love, I tried to guess five teams that finished out of the postseason in 2014-15 which would make the playoffs last season. There were exactly five teams that made the playoffs in 2015-16 after […]

0 comments by

The NHL recently had a goal scored which went through the outside of the net and still counted. Now, the KHL has upped the ante with a goal that ripped through the back of the net. Evgeny Grachyov released a powerful slapper which entered the net and tore through the side netting. After some confusion, it […]

0 comments by on 10/8/2016

Here’s something you don’t – and shouldn’t – see very often in the NHL. Oliver Bjorkstrand tried to throw the puck into the crease, but he missed and the puck hit the side of the cage. Instead of bouncing off the net, the puck slipped through the netting and hit Marc-Andre Fleury in the back before trickling […]

Though several Maple Leafs skated over to Russo to air their grievances, the helmetless Holland rushed in and tried to pummel Russo even though the refs quickly intervened. Holland throwing shots at Russo’s back/side while Russo is pinned under an official […]

The Tampa Bay Lightning officially have a monopoly on awesome goalie masks. Ben Bishop sported a crazy glow-in-the-dark mask during the 2015-16 season and now Andrei Vasilevskiy has a unique mask of his own which will change its appearance depending on the temperature. Here’s the mask in action: It’s a pretty cool effect, but it’s doubtful […]

Video: Ovechkin is kind of awful at golf

0 comments by

Alexander Ovechkin is amazing at hockey. Unfortunately, those skills haven’t exactly transferred over to the game of golf. Watch as he whiffs on his first drive attempt and follows it up by making a large divot with his driver on his second attempt. When he ultimately connects, he celebrates as he would a huge playoff […]
