0 comments by

There are plenty of unwritten rules in hockey which deal with respect for the opposing team. One of those rules is that you can’t shoot the puck after the horn sounds. Ryan Kesler broke this rule, rifling the puck into Calgary’s empty net as time expired. The Flames weren’t too happy and jumped Kesler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwifh8vcNSU […]

The trade freeze has been lifted and almost immediately we have ourselves a trade. Ben Scrivens was traded to the Canadiens to assume the backup role while Carey Price is out and Zack Kassian was traded to the Oilers, where he will report to their AHL affiliate in Bakersfield.
