Jason Chimera’s goal against the Penguins may not have been intentionally scored off of his head, but that shouldn’t detract from the fact this was a rare case of a hockey player scoring with his helmet.

The Philadelphia Flyers got some bad news, as the team announced goaltender Michal Neuvirth will miss the rest of the regular season with a lower-body injury. What does this mean for their playoff chances?

A reminder to all hockey players: Keep your head up. Patrick Kane forgot this rule for a moment against the Minnesota Wild while playing the puck with his skates and Matt Dumba delivered a crunching blow which appeared to stun both skaters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8AwRk50e18 The Blackhawks weren’t happy with the hit, but Kane had his head […]

Most NHL teams have adapted to the 3-on-3 OT format and as a result shootouts are on the rise. The Winnipeg Jets apparently missed the memo on how to play defense when play switches to 3-on-3, as evidenced by their OT loss against Anaheim.

The Vancouver Canucks are out of playoff contention and that was on full display when they fell to the St. Louis Blues 3-0 and allowed a whopping 50 shots on Saturday. It wasn’t the team’s best effort and a few Canucks called the team out – though not by name – for the lack of […]

What would you say about a new call-up to your hockey team? Garret Sparks didn’t have the traditional pathway to the NHL and he didn’t have a traditional answer when asked about a call-up to the Leafs.. When he was asked about Frederik Gauthier, he had some interesting info for the media.

One of the biggest trades of the entire season didn’t take place on deadline day, but rather it took place a couple weeks prior. The trade involving Dion Phaneuf going to the Ottawa Senators sent shockwaves throughout the NHL. Many didn’t believe that the contract was a movable piece. The Toronto Maple Leafs proved the […]

If so, mark your calendar for Saturday, April 30th as the league will hold the Draft lottery which will determine which team will pick behind Edmonton first at the upcoming 2016 NHL Draft. Don’t forget that the NHL recently changed the […]

Goalies are a special breed of hockey player. They have their own routine and they are allowed to do and say as they please as long as they stop the puck. What happens when a WHL goalie scores a goal himself? You will just have to see for yourself below as Stuart Skinner of the Lethbridge […]

Hockey is a tough sport. We all know this fact at this point. It doesn’t need to be argued anymore and the players who play it are absolutely nuts. The love of the game has to surpass anything out there. So when Tyler Seguin tweeted out a picture of his injured Achilles, it shouldn’t come […]

Not all hockey fights are created equally. Sometimes haymakers are thrown and they connect. Other times no one ever throws a punch and it’s more of an awkward hugging match. In the case of Rasmus Ristolainen and Alex Chiasson, we have ourselves an absolute stinker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TzsjoGpyhM You can tell that the players are mad at […]

Many people believe the spear to the groin started with Milan Lucic. He may be considered a legend in that regard, but the origins of this time honored tradition may be muddied with multiple other spears. Last night was another example of a spear that belongs in the Spear to the groin Hall of Fame. […]

It’s time once again to get social, boys and girls. Welcome to the 24th edition of the hockey tweets of the week. March means that two things are in full swing: Hockey’s playoff drive, and spring training. (I hear there’s also a basketball tournament going on.) But with the marriage of baseball and hockey on […]
