Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella is no stranger to conflict, and it seems he’s still adopting that approach despite being much calmer in Columbus. In an excellent piece by Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch, Tortorella opens up about the changes he’s made. Torts discusses becoming more of a teacher, while not doing […]

The Montreal Canadiens are a hot mess full of dysfunction as the team has completely collapsed following Carey Price’s possibly season-ending injury. Head coach Michel Therrien called out star defenseman P.K. Subban in Wednesday’s loss to the Colorado Avalanche, saying “an individual mistake” cost the team the game. With that relationship on the rocks, and the […]

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends. It’s the Hockey Tweets of the Week. And guys … we have a problem here. It’s week 20, and there is a very real chance that the playoffs , which will arrive very soon, will be missing an entire region of the world: Canada. Seriously […]

Here’s a nasty hit from the Rangers and Maple Leafs game on Thursday night. Leo Komarov delivered a brutal blow to the head of Ryan McDonagh, picking up a match penalty for his efforts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfyZ15fd8IQ Another look: McDonagh is just returning after missing time with a concussion and it’s safe to assume this hit isn’t going to […]

I have heard of using your head, but this is ridiculous! In all seriousness, the only way to really score on a goalie anymore is to redirect the puck. Deception is a big part of the NHL and shooters always try to use it to their advantage. Sometimes though it can be just dumb luck. […]

The idiom is “No good deed goes unpunished,” but I think in the case of the Ottawa Senators that hasn’t exactly been the case. The story goes that Mark Stone of the Ottawa Senators gave some money to a homeless person a couple of weeks ago and at that night’s game he scored a goal. When Curtis Lazar […]

The John Scott saga surrounding the 2016 NHL All-Star Game in Nashville was a truly memorable story. The ordeal to get Scott voted into the game and the following drama which unfolded with his trade, demotion and ultimate success in the game had many drawing parallels to different underdog movies. It turns out that Scott’s story is […]

In a somewhat surprising move, the National Hockey League has announced it’s upholding Calgary Flames defensemen Dennis Wideman’s 20-game suspension for checking a linesman. With the suspension, Wideman will forfeit more $564,516.20 in salary. Below video of the incident in question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWNfGrWBMd8 Hughes further reports at Wideman’s hearing, the NHLPA argued he suffered a concussion […]

I wrote the other day that we may never see Joseph Blandisi’s name on this site again after his great between-the-legs goal. This time he is making the news for less than stellar reasons. His embellishment could have been seen from anywhere on the East coast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=corqg31QcXw I am sure that the slash hurt some, but […]

Victor Hedman wasn’t too happy after the puck hit off an official, popped in front of the Tampa Bay crease and was easily put in the back of the net by the Sharks. He fired the puck down the ice, but the officials thought he might have been aiming at them, earning the defenseman a game […]

Evander Kane is ready to put yet another incident behind him. The Buffalo Sabres forward was suspended by the team for tonight’s matchup against the Ottawa Senators after Kane overslept and missed practice yesterday. The reason he slept in? He was busy partying at NBA All-Star festivities in Toronto. “If you watch me play on the […]

Sometimes it just isn’t your day. Dominic Bedard knows that feeling. Bedard is a referee in the QMJHL and has had to make many tough calls over his entire career. February 11th was no different, but this time the call ended with him getting a beer can thrown at his genitals. You know, standard run […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens were both stomped on in games last night. The Leafs gave up seven unanswered goals, as Patrick Kane (four points) and the Chicago Blackhawks dominated them in a 7-2 blowout loss. The Canadiens had a comparable result while playing the middling Arizona Coyotes as a team which has […]
