An NHL team honoring Star Wars might sound like a pretty cheesy concept, but the Minnesota Wild pulled it off with a pretty awesome video which combines all things hockey and a galaxy far, far away. It’s not perfect, but it’s really well done. How can you not love the Maple Leafs skater and Wild […]

As the NHL moves into its second year of “Road to the Winter Classic” with Epix, not a lot has changed from the first year. The NHL used to have a 24/7 series on HBO that was loved by fans and writers alike. Many last year turned their nose to this product but that doesn’t […]

That is until 9-year-old cancer survivor Madison Dempsey stepped up and made the game look pretty easy. After her first two shots just missed, she nails her last attempt as if it was barely […]

Intermission usually delivers either a fun mini-game between children or a silly contest for a fan. This minor league game provided the former … but this was a mites game which was certainly different from the rest as a massive line brawl broke out. A couple of awesome notes. First, the mascot picking up a […]

James Neal may be getting a call from the Department of Player Safety after his headshot on Calgary Flames defenseman Mark Giordano. While playing the puck between his skates, Giordano was completely unaware of Neal who was rushing in and took a brutal hit to the side of his head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zoE857HQ20 That’s a pretty bad hit […]

The New York Rangers placed him on waivers so they could call up defensemen Brady Skjei, a young promising defenseman.

The current hashtag #FightForKylee is in support of this young woman and to raise awareness for her fight against […]
