I am sure this is about to be a trend that scares the absolute crap out of parents in North America, but making a poster to motivate your favorite player is the hot trend right now. What is being said on these posters? A simple trade off of a goal for a puppy. Maddie Wright’s […]

We don’t get a peek behind the curtain all to often with the NHL. They normally keep fans at an arms length and ensure that their assets don’t say or do anything too dumb. So, when we do get the opportunity to see the players show off their stuff, it can be pretty darn special. […]

Sasha. Sasha Barkov. Aleksander Aleksandrovich Barkov Jr. You are going to be hearing that name for quite a while, so you might as well get used to the name. Barkov just inked himself a six-year deal with a $35 million total. His AAV on the deal will be $5.9 million. For a potential number one […]

P.K. Subban is one of the more impressive players in the league. He plays in one of the most hockey crazy markets and still succeeds. Players have folded under that pressure a numerous amount of times but Subban keeps on chugging. So, when we scored a center ice goal that didn’t look like a fluke, […]

The All-Star break is near and that’s pretty evident based on the play of some teams around the NHL. As different clubs struggle to find their identity and try to recover from injury and fatigue, fighting hasn’t been a priority. While there were only a handful of fights to pick from this week, there were […]

Russia is one weird country. We poke fun at it from time to time, but it still produces some of the oddest moments in all of the world. Naturally during their shootout skills competition they had a player light his stick on fire. I know Johnny Gaudreau wanted to do it but of course, in Russia […]

The Washington Capitals are the best team in the NHL. In a jumbled Eastern Conference, that much is clear. The Caps have scored the second-most goals in the league and allowed the fewest. Their plus-55 goal differential is far and away the best in the league. Alex Ovechkin is still the most dangerous scorer around. […]

The Montreal Canadiens were riding high to start the 2015-16 campaign, reeling off nine straight wins to kick off the season. By November 25th, with a 5-1 victory over the New York Rangers, they had an NHL-best 17-4-2 record – but a huge problem emerged as Carey Price went down with a lower-body injury. Price going […]

This may be surprising to some of you, but Damien Brunner is still playing hockey. Currently he’s in Europe in the Swiss league NLA. He plays on HC Lugano and last night they faced ZSC Bern, the team that has soon to be number one overall pick Auston Matthews on their team. While Matthews was […]

The player many believed was a lock for the Calder Trophy heading into 2015-16 is closing in on a return. Connor McDavid suffered a fractured left clavicle when he awkwardly crashed into the boards at the beginning of November and now he has been cleared to resume full contact in practice. McDavid will practice with Bakersfield […]

A lot has been made recently of the working relationship between Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle, co-owners of the Pittsburgh Penguins. I wouldn’t describe it as a black cloud, but for people around the team I am sure they would like to move on from this saga. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review gave us insight to a […]

Milan Lucic is known for his temper and for his tendency to overreact. Those two traits were on full display when he sucker punched Kevin Connauton after receiving a slash. Lucic was kicked out of the game for his retaliation and wasn’t too happy with the officials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwmKb_UU-e0 Lucic reportedly thought his wrist was seriously injured […]

I don’t think anyone at the beginning of the season could have anticipated that the team with the most drama this year would be the Tampa Bay Lightning. After playing in the Stanley Cup last year, this season looked like it should have been a cake walk for the Lightning. They didn’t know how involved […]

Jaromir Jagr doesn’t want to play in the All-Star Game. That’s not exactly a new sentiment as he had previously joked during the fan voting that the new 3-on-3 format would kill him. Now it sounds like he’s a bit more serious and it’s raising some questions on what’s going to happen with roughly a […]
