Okay look, not every Winter Classic or Stadium Series game is going to have the postcard backdrop of light snowfall that makes you think of backyard rinks in Canada.

The beautiful thing about sports is that you can watch hundreds of thousands of games, and still see something you’ve never seen before. You’ve probably never seen a player get a puck stuck in his visor before as Dan Girardi did today against Dallas on a scrum in the corner on Saturday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG0UiJYZopA Play the […]

The sports world is a special place. Too often the attention is focused on the glamorous side of things, including the lavish lifestyles many athletes are able to afford.

When coming into the National Hockey League, players obviously set high expectations for themselves. Despite the desire to make an immediate impact, many players fall into the lull of safe and comfortable play. Players tend to make more conservative plays and try to avoid any kind of risk, fearing demotion. What happens when a player who […]

Trading David Backes would be an “injustice” to Blues players

Thanks to injuries across the roster plaguing some of the club’s best players, the Blues might be in a difficult position when it comes to improving their lineup.

The Hurricanes are in a pickle ahead of the trade deadline
