The NHL is starting to phase-in a new style of goalie pants and goaltenders aren’t overly impressed with the mid-season change. Starting Saturday, goalies will have to wear a smaller, more fitted pants. Essentially the league is trying to make netminder’s equipment not as needlessly bulky. Chicago Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling isn’t a fan. Speaking with […]

Being a social media manager for a big, public account is a difficult task. One small mistake on a tweet can be immediately amplified and scrutinized, as the official NHL account found out this morning. The NHL sent out a congratulatory tweet on Monday to San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau for his 500th career […]

Don Cherry wasn’t a fan of the 2017 All-Star Game. Now, before you roll your eyes because Cherry has once again voiced an angry complaint towards something in hockey, he may kind of have a point. Kind of. As expected, the All-Star Game didn’t feature a ton of effort from the players. That’s not a […]

Forsberg, who scored 885 points in 708 games, said he wished he could have played like McDavid, claiming “he’s better at everything […]

In what might have been the highlight of Saturday’s All-Star Skills competition (though we all know the Pronger check on Bieber was the real highlight), Ryan Kesler sent his son Ryker to face Carey Price one-on-one in the shootout. The result was priceless:

Hockey fans are pretty familiar with some of the most iconic photos in NHL history. Bobby Orr flying through the air may lead the pack, but a new contender has emerged from a rather unlikely place – the All-Star Celebrity Shootout. The game featured plenty of stars, but none larger than Justin Bieber. Bieber looked […]

The NHL recently announced their 100 greatest players in an event which pretty much boiled down to a glorified Bleacher Report slideshow. The list featured many legends of the game, some controversial decisions and of course plenty of debate. The St. Louis Blues were featured prominently with 14 total players making the cut who have […]

Welcome once again to This Week in NHL Stupid where as always, we track the ugly, the silly, and the just plain stupid in the world of hockey. This week, we also track the angry. There was an extreme amount of anger in the league this week, and I’m not sure why. Take Exhibit A: […]

Mike Smith had his first shutout of the season for the Coyotes in a 3-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. But that doesn’t even begin to tell the story. Smith could have spent the first 28:12 in a lounge chair because the Canucks didn’t register a shot on goal. For an entire period […]

Life can be tough sometimes. Linus Ullmark, the goaltender for the Rochester Americans, had himself one heck of a game and had to find out that idiom the hard way. The Rochester Americans and Toronto Marlies played themselves a tight AHL affair. The game ended up going to the shootout. Colin Smith looked to be denied […]

The season for the Colorado Avalanche has been terrible thus far and because of it, some of their star players are starting to show some frustration. Gabriel Landeskog has been in multiple trade rumors this year and if these slashes on Brandon Sutter are any look into his psyche, the guy must be pretty darn […]

The topic of morning skates in hockey is a polarizing one with a firm divide between those who believe they serve an important purpose versus those who believe they cause more harm than good. Recently, the GM of the Pittsburgh Penguins preached against the morning skate, calling them pointless. John Tortorella took things a step further, […]
