Brooks Laich skated in 742 games with the Washington Capitals dating back to his debut with the club during the 2003-04 season. In the modern NHL, it’s extremely rare for a player to skate with the same team for so long and Laich’s time with the Caps ultimately ended with a trade to the Toronto Maple […]

The hat trick in hockey is a special event not only because a player tallied three goals in a game, but because it’s one of few occasions where fans are encouraged to chuck things on the ice. Usually those items are hats, but one elder Philadelphia Flyers fan opted for something a bit different. Her […]

The Boston Bruins faced a tough decision during the trade deadline regarding what to do with forward Loui Eriksson. The 30-year-old Swede had enjoyed a great third season with 23 goals, becoming a perfect fit on the Bruins second line, but his pending free agency was a cause for concern. Boston didn’t want to trade […]

William Nylander got his first taste of NHL action when the Toronto Maple Leafs called up the forward prior to their game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Most would consider the call to come up from the AHL to the NHL a promotion, but maybe not in the case of the Leafs. The Toronto Sun […]

The Montreal Canadiens had a quietly successful trade deadline day, as the club sold off some veterans and made some minor deals with the future in mind. While there were no blockbusters, it was a good day for the team. When asked about the future of the Canadiens, Bergevin said the team is heading in […]

When you have young and marketable stars, one would think that you would thrust them to the forefront of all of your programming. Unfortunately, NBCSN isn’t thinking that way. The first matchup for Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel will no longer be shown on NBCSN, rather it will be shown on MSG. The March 1st […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded a ton of players prior to the trade deadline and are officially building for the future. The remaining lineup is loaded with young skaters, including 22-year-old goaltender Garret Sparks. If this save by Sparks on Valtteri Filppula is any indication, the future is bright for Toronto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj2aucItl8g That’s a great stick […]

Welcome to a deadline day edition of Hockey Fights of the Week. The past week of fights was almost as slow as the trade deadline. There were a total of 10 fights in the Week 21 window, a signal that teams are focusing more on securing points late in the year than they are on fisticuffs. […]

The trade deadline isn’t what it used to be and today’s lack of deals should be enough evidence. NHL teams aren’t waiting until the final hours to strike a deal to improve their club, as the big moves happen days before the clock strikes zero. Major transactions may not happen on deadline day anymore, but teams […]

Tyler Johnson is lucky to have escaped a serious injury after taking a puck to the face when the Lightning faced the Bruins. The puck appeared to catch Johnson directly in the face, resulting in a nasty gash which poured blood on to the ice. Warning: The video below is not for the squeamish. Blood fills […]

If Adam McQuaid is any indication, there’s a sniper in Boston. The Bruins defenseman fell down for seemingly no reason which led to a 2-on-0 for the Tampa Bay Lightning. This short clip might be the perfect summary of Boston’s defense this season. Good, but committing silly mistakes way too often.
