The Philadelphia Flyers were trying to force Game 5 with a win in Game 4, but they had to battle their frustrations with the series as much as they had to battle the Washington Capitals. Brayden Schenn’s anger got the best of him as he cross-checked Evgeny Kuznetsov in the back of the knee after the whistle. […]

Jonathan Drouin had himself a heck of a game during the Tampa Bay Lightning’s 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday. The 21-year-old had three assists (two primary) including setting up Ondrej Palat’s game-winner to give the Lightning a 3-1 series lead. For a guy who once seemed like a sure goner, Drouin […]

Out of all of the playoff series happening, the most cordial of the bunch seems to be the Penguins and Rangers. The tenor of the series may have just changed with Kris Letang’s slash on Viktor Stalberg in Game 3.

UPDATE: The NHL has suspended Andrew Shaw for one game and fined him $5,000. **** I don’t think Andrew Shaw will ever be confused for an upstanding citizen of the game and his actions in Game 4 confirmed that notion. It wasn’t just one moment in the game, rather a series of terrible, terrible moments.

The Blues and Blackhawks series has been something to behold. At any moment anything can happen and it just so happens a large portion of the controversial moments have been in the Blackhawks favor. Somehow, someway they came away from a scrum started by Corey Crawford with a power play.

It’s not too often you see Pavel Datsyuk knocked off his skates. It’s an even rarer sight to see him caught with his head down and bulldozed in open ice. Ryan Callahan caught the Red Wings forward with a huge hit.

Jaromir Jagr is one of the most prolific scorers in NHL history, ranking third all-time with 749 career goals. That’s an insane marker. The 44-year-old keeps coming back and continues to be an effective top-six winger, despite his age. Jagr continued his success in 2015-16, having a great year in his first full season with […]

We have all been there before – sitting in the stands not really paying attention and you find yourself startled by what is happening before you. I am not sure if this was the case for this Sharks fan, but I am desperately trying to find an excuse for her.

Ryan White is starting to get a reputation around the league and it isn’t anything to write home about. He is adding to his less than sterling reputation with a hit on Brooks Orpik that left the defenseman dazed and confused.

The Flyers were already out of Game 3 against the Capitals on Monday, and they’re probably on their way out of the playoffs. But not before one more bit of message sending by the Flyers as Pierre-Edouard Bellemare hit Dmitry Orlov from behind and into the boards.
