With Ondrej Palat coming back for the Tampa Bay Lightning, they sent down highly-touted forward Jonathan Drouin to the AHL affiliate in Syracuse. Drouin has had a bit of a tumultuous start to his NHL career to say the least. That isn’t to say Drouin has played badly. It is more to say that he […]

If you haven’t checked out the National Women’s Hockey League yet, here’s a solid introduction from the New York Riveters and the Connecticut Whale. The Whale, who are off to an outstanding start and have only lost one game, held a 5-0 lead in the third period. A Riveter skater attempted to clear the crease of a […]

The 2016 Winter Classic continued the event’s ratings dive. Previously, the 2015 Winter Classic was the least-viewed Classic, bringing in a rating of 2.3. The 2016 edition sank even lower, posting a rating of just 1.6.

There have been a ton of outstanding goals and dekes scored in the NHL this season, but this one from North Dakota hockey player Drake Caggiula may best them all. Check out this unreal move he uses to get around defenseman Cody Champagne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooxFlig4A2I That’s dirty. Caggiula hasn’t been drafted, but it’s fair to assume he’ll get some […]

Before the season started, did any of you have Jonathan Drouin as a player who would demand a trade during the season? The young forward has all the promise in the world and it looks like he won’t be able to live out that promise in Tampa Bay. Drouin’s agent Allan Walsh released a statement to […]

This hasn’t been the best season for the Columbus Blue Jackets. They have already fired their head coach once this season and have seen little to no success with John Tortorella now helming the bench. So when the Blue Jackets faced the top team in the Eastern conference, I wouldn’t blame you for cringing at […]

Ryan Johansen hasn’t had the best year in the NHL. His year has been surrounded by trade rumors and perceived laziness. So when he got called upon to take a shootout attempt in front of a near sellout crowd in Nationwide Arena, he must have carried a weight of the season on his shoulders. What […]

Max Pacioretty loved skating in the Winter Classic and even stated that it was the most fun he has ever had playing hockey. That comment aside, there was one moment which fired up Pacioretty as he got caught on a photographer’s lens which was sticking through the glass. Watch the left side of the video: […]

Every 75 to 76 years the earth experiences a phenomena that we call Halley’s Comet. It’s a sight to behold and is a once in a lifetime occurrence for most of us on Earth. The NHL may have just encountered it’s Halley’s Comet as John Scott, forward for the Arizona Coyotes, has been selected to […]

The Buffalo Sabres don’t light the lamp very often. Throughout 2015-16, the Sabres have been near the basement in terms of goals scored and continually struggle to put more than one or two past the opposing goalie. Head coach Dan Bylsma is surprised to see this outcome considering there are several players on the roster […]

The Dallas Stars have some clever, entertaining folks working behind the scenes running their social media accounts and in-game entertainment. This has been proven time and time again on the Jumbotron. Such was the case when the team displayed their New Year’s resolutions for 2016.

The World Junior Championship is like March Madness. Any team can win any given game and all the players have such a strong stake in the game. It is unfortunate though that sometimes the games can see some nastiness. William Nylander got rocked this tournament and Alex DeBrincat decided to give a bit of a […]
