What was Antoine Vermette thinking? The Anaheim Ducks forward slashed an official during tonight’s game against the Minnesota Wild. What provoked him? It appeared Vermette didn’t like the way the official dropped the puck, so he gave him a whack with his stick – a big no, no.

Jack Edwards has got jokes. The Boston Bruins play-by-play announcer was calling the B’s matchup against the San Jose Sharks, when he noted Ryan Carpenter went to Bowling Green University. Referencing recent comments made from Donald Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, Edwards commented that Carpenter somehow survived the non-existent Bowling Green Massacre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZusaswEBH4 “Three years at […]

The NHL trade deadline is just over two weeks away and the hot stove is starting to warm up. Which contenders will bolster their rosters for a Stanley Cup run?

I’m sure Alex Burrows has had better nights than the one he had on Sunday, as he learned that when you rough house with the Sabres, they will rough house back with you twice as hard. The Canucks tough guy battled hard in front of the net with Justin Falk and goalie Robin Lehner. Then […]

Gustav Nyquist might have a bit of an anger problem. After he was cross-checked to the ice by Jared Spurgeon, Nyquist spun around and nailed Spurgeon in the face with a high stick. When you watch the video, note how Nyquist makes sure to catch Spurgeon in the face with the blase of his stick […]

A player reaching 1,000 points in their NHL career is a pretty special accomplishment applauded by fans and players alike. Henrik Sedin recently hit the 1,000-point milestone and received a special congratulatory message from Logan Couture right before a faceoff.

The Columbus Blue Jackets held a moment of silence for late Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch. Instead of standing in silence, one dumbass fan decided to make the sign of respect about him. During the moment of silence, someone, assumedly drunk, yelled about pizza as the arena was silent in remembrance of Ilitch. I can’t fathom […]

The Dallas Stars haven’t had a very good season. On Thursday, things got a bit worse. Jiri Hudler accidentally scored on his own net after attempting a drop-pass during a delayed penalty. It’s a hockey player’s nightmare.

Tim Murray isn’t actively pursuing a trade of Evander Kane. The Buffalo Sabres GM made a radio appearance where he said he’s not looking to deal the enigmatic 25-year-old. “I wouldn’t rule it out, (but) I’m not pursuing a trade with him,” the Buffalo Sabres general manager told WGR 550’s Mike Schopp. Murray further elaborated […]
